Picture Basic

Setting Exposure

Configure the exposure settings for the camera. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Open Shutter provide additional functionality to help compensate for low-light scenes

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

AGc amplifies the video signal in scenes when there is not enough light to produce full video levels. The maximum level of AGC is controlled by the Max Gain control. It is adjustable from 0dB (off) to 37dB. As gain is increased, the sensor noise is also amplified, which can result in more noticeable noise in the image.

Open Shutter

This is a technique that is used for really low light performance applications. It allows the shutter speed to be slowed down further than normal to allow the sensor to collect more light. The maximum level of Open Shutter is controlled by the Shutter Speed control. It is adjustable from 1/30 down to ½ second. The slower the Shutter Speed, the higher the chance for image blur which may affect moving object identification. It is only in effect during low-light situations where an image would not be obtainable otherwise and does not affect the camera performance in normal or bright light situations.

Max Gain

The Max Gain setting is an upper limit for how much gain can be increased when AGC is enabled. The trade-off between picture level (brightness) and noise may be adjusted by setting the Max Gain value. Lower values for Max Gain setting may result in a darker picture, but with less noise. Higher values for Max Gain setting may result in a brighter picture, but with more noise.

Procedure 2-5 Configure Exposure Settings

Step Action

1 Select Setup on the GUI banner to display the setup menus.

2 Select the Picture Basic tab from the Basic Configuration menu.

3 Select to start the video stream if it is not already active.

4 Select a AGC/Shutter Setting from the drop-down menu.

• AGC off - produces the cleanest image with the least noise but the worst low-light performance.

• AGC on - good low-light performance with the chance for some noise.

• openshutter - best for low-light performance. However there is a chance for some noise and some image blur.

The default setting is ‘openshutter’.

Note:

If you require “Real Time” video, open shutter must be turned off to ensure that the resulting video quality is acceptable for prosecution purposes.

5 If openshutter has been selected in Step 4, Max Exposure will be enabled. Select Max Exposure (sec)

from the drop-down menu:

• 1/2

• 1/4

• 1/8

Picture Basic

• 1/15

• 1/30

6 If AGC on or openshutter has been selected in Step 4, Max Gain Exposure will be enabled. Use the slider

bar to select the Max Gain (dB): The settings are 0-37. The video pane will update to display the new settings.

Wide Dynamic Range

WDR is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).

WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favour a underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the lower end of the control the image is underexposed; this provides more detail in areas of brightness, but less detail in areas of darkness. On the other hand, selecting the higher end of the control overexposes the image which provides more detail in the dark areas but less detail in the bright areas.

A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously, such as a warehouse area with an open bay door.

- End -

IR/Day Night Mode

IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.

One of these camera functions, the True TDN mechanism, used when needed, removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the imager; this allows the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional nearinfrared energy found in many lighting sources such as halogen, moonlight, etc.

Picture Additional

The preceding, in conjunction with slowing down another camera function, shutter speed, significantly improves low-light performance—rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.

IR Mode

When the camera is in B/W mode, it can utilize, or 'see', near-IR illumination—something the human eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the camera is paired with 850~950nm IR illuminators. With this combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the camera can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where external lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.

Normal, or visible light, and IR light have different focal points. The camera has 3 IR modes to help optimize focus capabilities and achieve sharper IP pictures when using these light sources. See the following table for recommended settings for corresponding IR Switching with IR illumination.

Curve

Visible

850nm 850nm IR illuminators.

950nm 950nm IR illuminators.

Normal Lighting – Florescent, Incandescent, Sunlight, etc

For Lighting Sources Visibility

Day Night Mode

The camera provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light level falls below certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light conditions. There are six Day/Night settings: Auto High, Auto Mid, Auto Low, Manual, Forced Color, and Forced B/W.

• visible - Most common, visible lighting sources.

• 850nm - Ideal for 850nm IR Illuminators.

• 950nm - Ideal for 950nm IR Illuminators.

The default setting is ‘visible’.

4 Select a Day Night Mode setting from the drop-down menu:

• Off - enables full-time color mode.

• On - enables full-time black and white mode.

• Auto High - increases the chance of switching to BWmode as light levels drop.

• Auto Mid - camera will give a good balance of Color and BW depending on the scene.

• Auto Low- camera will adjust between BW and Color depending on light levels. .

The default setting is 'Auto Low'.

Setting Exposure

Configure the exposure settings for the camera. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Open Shutter provide additional functionality to help compensate for low-light scenes

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

AGc amplifies the video signal in scenes when there is not enough light to produce full video levels. The maximum level of AGC is controlled by the Max Gain control. It is adjustable from 0dB (off) to 37dB. As gain is increased, the sensor noise is also amplified which can result in more noticeable noise in the image.

Open Shutter

- End -

This is a technique that is used for really low-light performance applications. It allows the shutter speed to be slowed down further than normal to allow the sensor to collect more light. The maximum level of Open Shutter is controlled by the Shutter Speed control. It is adjustable from 1/30 down to ½ second. The slower the Shutter Speed, the higher the chance for image blur which may affect moving object identification. It is only in effect during low-light situations where an image would not be obtainable otherwise and does not affect the camera performance in normal or bright light situations.

Privacy Zones

Privacy Zones are “masked” sections of the camera’s viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the surveillance system who do not have access to the camera password from viewing these designated zones. Each zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in relation to the camera's pan/tilt position.

The apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Privacy Zones are useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish a privacy Zone around a safe’s combination, but still view people approaching or opening the safe. When Privacy Zones are active, the camera's firmware automatically disables text transparency.

Up to 32 rectangular privacy zones can be used on the camera.

Note:

Areas of the Privacy Zone may be exposed during rapid pan/tilt movements of the camera. To compensate for this limitation, you may want to program the Privacy Zone to be 20 to 25% larger than the area you want to mask.

Note:

Any changes to the Motion Tracking configuration applies to both Scans and Sequences.

Motion Tracking together with Stepped Scans or Sequences can be used to complete Intelligent Guard Tours. For more information on Intelligent Guard Tours refer to Appendix A- Intelligent Guard Tour on Page 131.

Motion Tracking can be used with or without Motion Detection enabled.

Note:

It is recommended that Motion Detection is enabled with Intelligent Guard Tour to allow the camera to raise a Motion Detection Alert to the Network Video Recorder allowing recording of the object being tracked.

To enable Motion Detection refer to Enable or Disable a Motion Detection Alert on Page 68

If Motion Detection is enabled and motion tracking is disabled:

• When a motion start alarm is sent and the camera initiates a PTZ movement, whether manual or by a Program (e.g. Preset, Pattern, Sequence or Scan), a stop alarm will be forced to “close” the alarm.

If motion detection is enabled, motion tracking is enabled, and a Sequence or Scan started:

• When there is motion, a motion start alarm is sent, motion tracking starts (camera starts using PTZ functionality to follow the motion). Only when there are 3 seconds of no motion, or the motion tracking duration expires, is there a motion stop alarm sent. The camera will then resume to the next set point of the Sequence or Scan.

Note:

Scheduled tasks, alarms and manual camera control will always begin when they are selected or scheduled to start. None of these camera actions have a priority over any of the others.

The event action can be used to configure any combination of the following actions:

• Record a clip to a microSD Card.

• Send an external alarm via email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the AVI video file and one JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to microSD Card. (If MJPEG is not being recorded on microSD Card, then no JPEG picture will be sent.)

• Send an AVI video file to a pre-configured external FTP server. The video file will contain pre and post alarm video buffer.

Note:

A microSD Card must be inserted in order to send SMTP email, video files and images from triggered analytic alerts.

• PTZ action: none or a stored preset, pattern, sequence or scan.

• The result of this PTZ action will continue until another PTZ, scheduled task or return home command is received. A PTZ command from the Web GUI or ONVIF will be responded to immediately, possibly interrupting the programmed PTZ action. A PTZ action from a different digital input will also be done immediately. PTZ commands originating from a scheduled task only interrupt the alarm PTZ action if more than 30 seconds has passed since the triggering. Otherwise, they get delayed.

The camera provides four alarm inputs. By connecting alarm devices, such as smoke alarms, twilight sensors, or motion sensors, to these inputs, you can enhance the usability of your video surveillance system.

• For 15 seconds after being triggered, any additional individual input changes on that alarm source will only be logged and not generate any other action. This is to reduce the likelihood that any oscillating alarm source—such as a door simply vibrating in the wind—cause a series of alarms to be generated.

• Input alarms are triggered upon change of state—either from opened to closed or from closed to open. The camera will report the current state of each input alarm (open or closed) as well as an active or inactive status in the alarm configuration page. Active alarms will also be visible in the Event Log. Refer to Event Log on Page 68.

• The triggering of any input alarm will affect scheduled tasks and delay them until at least 30 seconds has passed since the last digital alarm input was triggered.

Alarm Actions

The following alarm actions can be triggered by any alarm input:

• Activate the digital output contact. This stays active until the alarm is acknowledged and cleared by an operator.

• Send an external alarm WS-Event that includes alarm details.

• Send an external alarm via email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the AVI video file and one JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to local storage. (If MJPEG is not being recorded on local storage, then no JPEG picture will be sent.)

• Send an audio file via the camera. If a speaker has been connected to the audio output on the camera, the file can be played as the alarm is triggered.

Analytics

Analytics is a feature which detects and tracks objects in video. Analytics supported are Motion Detection and Motion Tracking.

Motion Detection

Motion detection can be used to trigger an Event Action. When enabled, motion detection is applied to the fullscreen field of view. When the camera is moving for PTZ operations, motion detection is suppressed.

Motion Detection Best Practices

To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Motion Detection on the camera it is recommended that you adhere to the following:

- End -

• An object exhibiting motion needs to be at least 8x8 pixels in size to be detected.

• The color of the object (in gray scale) should be approximately 10-15% different than the background.

• Try not to point cameras into sunlight, because high brightness will prevent detection of movement of bright objects such as a person with a white shirt.

Event Logs

• Avoid areas with persistent motion, such as trees, blinking lights, or spinning signs, by using an appropriate region of interest. For scenes like these it is recommended to lower the motion sensitivity level.

Enable or Disable a Motion Detection Alert

Motion detection can be turned on and turned off when required.

Procedure 5-14 Enable or Disable a Motion Detection Alert

Step Action
