About IP Cameras

An IP camera usually combines a standard CCTV type camera with additional circuitry and software to
convert the signal from and communications to the camera into a digital format that can be accessed via the
internet or an ethernet based network.

The circuitry within the camera literally hosts itʼs own website. IP cameras are simply CCTV cameras with
integrated video web servers.

Package Contents:

Contents may vary depending on model and specific OEM applications.

1. IP2 Marine Network Camera

2. Waterproof CAT5e Ethernet Cable

3. User Guide

Installation

Warning: Installation of this product must only be carried out by a marine electronics
professional or competent person. Failure to observe these installation guidelines and
good electrical practices could result in fatal damage to the product, other on board
equipment and personal injury. Observe electrical codes and practices of the region in
which the device is being installed.

When installing on board, it is essential to observe electrical safety precautions associated with the
installation and operation of DC powered electronic equipment in and around water. Ensure the waterproof
integrity of the camera, cables and connection of the device are never breached or compromised. Always
power the device from an appropriately rated fuse board or distribution panel.

DC Power Supply (Optional)

The IP2 requires a 12V DC supply. Although the camera draws much less current during operation, allow for
a 2A peak surge during power up. Always use suitably rated cable to deliver power to the camera.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) (Standard)

As standard, power to the camera is delivered via the CAT5e STP ethernet connection, and injected into the
PoE junction box (supplied). The PoE junction box requires a 12VDC input. Although the camera draws
much less current during operation, allow for a 2A peak surge during power up. Always use suitably rated
cable to deliver power to the camera. Please note, the PoE junction box is not waterproof and must be
installed away from water, moisture and excessive heat sources. The IP2 can also be powered from a PoE
ethernet hub (not supplied).

Cabling

The IP2 is supplied as standard with a 5 meter, PUVC CAT5e STP waterproof cable. At one end is an IP68
rated waterproof RJ45 connector that plugs into the camera. The other end of the cable has intentionally
been left bare in order to reduce the size of the entry hole required into the side of the vessel.

The outside diameter of the cat 5 cable is 6mm. Once the cable has been routed through the side of the
vessel and into the boat it will be necessary to fit an STP RJ45 jack. A STP RJ45 connector is supplied.

Use STP CAT5e cable to connect the PoE injector to the server, computer or hub.

Setup

1. Connect the camera to a powered Ethernet source so that the unit is connected directly or indirectly to a
DHCP server.

2. The camera will adopt an I.P. address provided by the DHCP server, and will initially be displayed on the
host as a new attached device with name “-“ (Please refer to Router/DHCP server manual for relevant
instructions on performing this).

3. Once this is connected, new I.P and network details can be set via the Network setup page (page 18).

4. In the event of there being problems connecting the camera to your network, please contact your network

administrator or IP specialist quoting the cameras individual MAC address which can be found printed on
the carton label.

Video Stream Operations Explained.

Video & Audio:

This section describes how to configure the video streaming of the device and the related camera image
configurations. Users with Administrator or Operator authority (see System  User Management) are
able to set these configurations.

Click on ‘Setup’ to enter the configuration pages:

There are three sub settings under the ʻAudio & Videoʼ Tag:

Camera Settings (With sub-headings, Image Settings, Day/Night & Advanced Settings)

Video Settings

Audio Settings

Camera Settings:

Image Settings:

Brightness:! The luminance of image view. Default value is 8; adjustable from 0 to 16.

Contrast: The ratio of luminance of white to black. Default value is 8; adjustable from 0 to 16.

Saturation: Depth of a colour in relation to it’s brightness. Default value is 8, adjustable from 0 to 16.

Sharpness: Determines the degree of edge contrast of objects within the image. Default value is 8,

adjustable from 0 to 16.

Video Orientation:

Changes the horizon ( Mirror ) and vertical ( Flip ) orientation of the image.

Day / Night :

Day night mode is used to switch the video images for Day (plenty of ambient light), or Night (low ambient
light) optimization. The default setting is Auto in which the camera will switch to Day or Night operation
depending on the intensity of ambient light in the scene. The Day / Night modes perform two actions;
switching the mechanical IR filter on or off whilst also switching the image hue from Colour (Day) to
Monochrome (Night).

In day mode, the IR filter is switched in to avoid the image sensor from receiving the infrared, thus the true
color image is provided. When camera enters night mode, IR filter is switched off to allow IR illuminations
going into the sensor, thus increasing the images light level. The image color is switched to B/W (Mono
mode).

Advanced Settings:

AC Frequency: Anti-flicker setting for environment with fluorescent light sources, image sensor needs to set

the frequency of light (power) source. For instance, the power frequency is 50Hz for most European
countries, while 60Hz is typically for US. This setting is therefore regionally different.

White Balance: Usually set to Auto. Manual configuration allows adjustment of colour temperature in
accordance with the lighting condition of the scene, varying from blue to red.

IRIS Mode: Enable auto IRIS mode when DC-Iris lens is installed. System will enable auto exposure and
gain control (default setting is Auto).

Flicker-less Mode: flickering can also effect exposure levels. Set “Flickerless” Mode “On” to fix the
maximum shutter speed (auto exposure control), eliminating flicker.

Exposure & Gain Mode: Selectable between auto and manual mode. This selection defines control over a
range (manual) or a fixed value (auto), according to the following two items (Shutter Speed and Gain

Value). The configurations will be limited at selected maximum rates when AUTO mode is on.

Max. Shutter Speed: Sets exposure time. Higher shutter speed is normally applied under strong light

conditions, so the image won’t be overexposure. Lower shutter speed, on the other hand maintains image
luminance in low light environment.

Max. Gain Value: the amplification factor for the incoming light. Increasing the gain value provides a brighter
image, but the noises may also be increased.

WDR: Wide Dynamic Range. Switches dynamic processing of image under high contrast conditions.

Exposure Level: Adjust Exposure level for a target exposure time that is the amount of light allowed

for the image sensor.

Note:

The “Shutter Speed”, “Gain Value” and “WDR” can be configured for daytime and nighttime. The
configurations will be applied according to the current status of “Day/Night Mode“.

Advanced Settings (continued):

The Advanced Settings panel:

Video Settings:

Video Stream:

This tab provides detailed stream configurations. These settings can affect video size, quality. The maximum
transmission performance can be expected under the condition of full network bandwidth.

The camera supports up to 2 video streams. Each stream can be configured with following items.

Video Format:

H.264, MPEG4 and MJPEG are available for the selection. The demand of bandwidth and storage
requirement differs from the selection of video format. In the request of same video quality, H.264 contributes
to less bandwidth and storage requirement, which can be more efficient than MPEG4 or MJPEG.

Resolution:
The resolution here describes an image size counted in width by height, e.g. 1280x720, referring to pixel
resolution.

The available resolutions for Stream 1 and Stream 2 are listed in the following table:

Frame Rate:

Represents the number of frames that are displayed per second. The higher the frame rate is the better /
smoother the video stream can be obtained. However, there is a trade-off for with higher network bandwidth
and storage requirements depending on the frame rate. The higher the frame rate, the more bandwidth and
storage required and vice versa.

Intra Frame Period:

This is applied only in MPEG4 / H.264 formats, in which the video stream is composed of I- frames (full
image information) and P-frames (motion-compensated difference information).

This setting configures the time period between 2 I-frames. The shorter period means the higher frequency
of I-frame and improved video handling, but also a higher bit rate.

Video Quality:

There are two types of bit-rate controls for video quality adjustment, Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable
Bit Rate (VBR).

CBR settings are used to limit a fixed rate of data transfer. However, VBR can be utilized when network
bandwidth is less of an issue.

Note: CBR is not applicable in MJPEG modes.

Video Overlay:

The camera supports stamping text information on the video images. The options of the date/time string or/
and a line of text message (e.g. camera name or location) are available for displaying on the images.

Privacy Mask:

Privacy Mask can block out specific areas from view. The blocked areas will not be seen in both live view or
recorded video clips. A total of 8 profiles can be allocated to the list.

To create Privacy Mask, simply input Privacy Mask Name and click “Add New” button and then apply it to
complete the addition.

Privacy Mask (continued):

Privacy Mask Window.

Audio Settings:

Check the “Enable Audio” checkbox to enable video streaming with audio. The audio encoding supports G.
711 ulaw. For Audio Input Setting, there are two types of input sources: Internal / External Microphone. The
default setting will be internal microphone.

Network Configuration:

The IP Camera acts as a network device. It allows users to configure network functionalities based on
applications. This section will describe the network configurations. Fundamentally, for instance, the IP
assignment of the device can be done via DHCP server, static IP option or PPPoE to obtain IP from the
service provider.

There are six subdirectories within the Network Configuration category:

Network Type

Network Connectivity

Quality Service

Access Port

Access IP Filter

Network Type:

Network Type:

There are 3 ways to configure IP address for the IP camera device, including DHCP, Static IP and PPPoE.

Enable DHCP Service: (Default Setting). The camera is automatically assigned an IP address by the

DHCP server when connected to a network.

Use Static IP: Camera may also be manually assigned a static IP address. Subnet mask, Gateway and
DNS server(s) will also need to be specified for certain network functionality.

Enable PPPoE Service: This service is usually provided by an ISP (Internet Service Provider). IP Camera
can establish a dial-up connection to the ISP and then get connected to Internet.

RTSP Streaming:

The 4 RTSP streaming protocols below are available for different network environments.

UDP: This is unicast method in “RTP over UDP”. UDP is a simple transmission mode and more likely for
request of the most up-to-date information. However, video packets may be lost or dropped in the network
traffic as UDP does not guarantee the endpoint transmission. This method is usually applied in a smaller
scale of LAN or intranet environment where packet lost may not be an issue.

UDP Multicast: This provides RTP over UDP in multicast manner, which is one-to-many communication
over an IP infrastructure in a network.

TCP: This is unicast method in “RTP over RTSP (TCP)”. TCP is a reliable for end-to-end data transmission
when comparing to UDP mode. Thus, it is applied for quality of the data is concerned. This method is used
when data is sent through networks or Internet.

HTTP: It is unicast method in “RTP over RTSP over HTTP”. As firewalls normally allow HTTP protocol, it is
not necessary to enable the specific port for RTSP video traffic. That is the IP camera’s web page with live
video stream can be retrieved through HTTP port.

Network Connectivity:

This page details connectivity configuration, so that IP camera can be accessed without necessarily
providing the numerical IP address.

Enable UPnP Service: with UPnP enabled, the IP camera device can be easily discovered in Windows
Network (My Network Places). See “Discover devices in Windows Network” in previous section.

Enable DDNS Service: By registering this sort of service, the camera can be assigned and accessed over
an Internet connection with a hostname instead of IP address. To enable the services, visiting the website of
the service provider and registering an account are required.

Quality Service:

Quality Service provides network traffic management to guarantee the quality of services in higher priority,
especially when network is insufficient. DSCP (Different Service Code Point) is a 6-bit IP header which
defines the service level of the packet. According to the DSCP value, routers with PHB (Per-Hop Behavior)
will define a specific class of traffic for the packet, in terms of bandwidth, latency, or loss rate, etc. Enable
QoS and set DSCP value for the service to ensure its quality to be maintained.

Quality Service (continued):

Note: To make the QoS function work, all the switches and routers in the network must support QoS.

Access Port:

The Web access port can be changed in this page. Default HTTP and HTTPs port numbers are 80 and 443
respectively. Configuration of these port numbers provides a base level of security.

Access IP Filter:

This setting also provides a basic security by filtering the accesses from other hosts. Enable this function
and choose “Allow / Deny” of the listed IP addresses. Up to 15 IP address can be added in the list.

Recording:

This section provides the recording configuration on the camera. Unlike the recording function on the live
view page, video is recorded to the storage attached to the camera (that is the SD card) according to a time
based schedule.

There are four subdirectories within the ‘Recording’ category:

Recording Plan

SD Storage (Only available on certain models. Contact vendor for further details).

SD File List (Only available on certain models. Contact vendor for further details).

Samba

Recording Plan:

Recording Plan List:

The details of a recoding plan include:

Plan Name: identifier of the recording plan

Status: enable or disable the recording plan

Mon ~ Sun: displays the hours in days of a week that recording is effective

update the SD space information. The SD card can be formatted in this page.

NOTE

1. It is recommended to insert the SD card before powering up the system. This is to ensure that the

attached device is properly detected in the initialization stage.

2. When the SD storage is full, the system will automatically overwrite the earliest recorded files.

SD File List:

This page provides the facility to search recorded files and images. The SD storage may contain both
“triggered-by-schedule” recordings and “triggered-by-events” snapshot / video. Search conditions as
described here are used to narrow down the search results.

Latest 10 Records:

The most recent 10 records are listed in this table. Each record name is a link to view this video or image.
Following the “Record Name”, each record is listed with its “Trigger Type” and “Record Size” details.

Search Records:

After the Recording Plan and/or Event Handling (see Event Management) is launched for a certain time, the
records held in the SD Storage medium could become considerable in size. Therefore this facility provides
various criteria to simplify specific searches. There are 3 categories of search criteria:

1. Trigger Type: It includes [Motion Detection], [Digital Input], [Manual Trigger] and [Network Fail] as the
type of “triggered-by-events” and [Schedule Recording] as the type of “triggered-by-schedule”.

2. Trigger Time: Input Date / Time rage that recording was created.

3. File Size: Select the file type that is either video clips (.avi) or pictures (.jpeg) or both.

NOTE

Searches can include multiple criteria. For instance, the search result can be the combination of Network
Fail and Digital Input.

Event Management:

Event management describes the handling of events with the corresponding actions. A common case can be
exampled is storing a captured image to a local storage (Actions), when there is a Motion Event (Trigger
Condition). This chapter gives the configurations of Triggers (what to detect?) and Actions (“what to send”
and “where to send”). A time based schedule can also be applied.

Event Management Configuration:

There are 4 subdirectories in the “Event” category. The 4 configuration groups are correlated. A completed
event setting may need to configure each part in sequence.

Event Server & Media

Troubleshooting:

Check Firmware Version:

In the event of a problem occurring with the functionality of the camera, it’s always best to ensure the latest
version of firmware is installed as the issue may have already been addressed by a new firmware release.
Therefore the first step of troubleshooting functionality issues is always to check the firmware version
number and establish whether a subsequent release is available.

The firmware version number can be found in Setup -> System -> System Information. See screen-grab
below:

Upgrade Device Firmware:

Firmware upgrade process should be done via the cameras web connection (as opposed to the SD card for
example): Setup -> System -> Maintenance -> Firmware Upgrade. Before the process, read the
instructions and release notes coming with each new released version.

Read Prior to Upgrading:

1. The latest firmware image is available on Iris’ official website:

http://www.boat-cameras.com/product.php?ProdID=48&CatID=12

2. Make sure all other client connections are disconnected and current jobs such as recording are finished.

3. During the upgrading period, DO NOT disconnect the power to the camera, otherwise the cameras
memory might become damaged necessitating ‘outside warranty’ repair.

4. The front LED indicator will flash red slowly during the upgrading procedure. When the LED changes to
steady green, the upgrading process is completed.

Firmware Upgrading Procedure:

1. Go to firmware upgrade page on the cameras web interface. Figure 1

2. Click “Firmware” button to open browser pane to navigate to and select the firmware image. Figure 1

3. Click “Upgrade” to begin (the upgrade progress bar will pop up). Figure 2

4. Once the upload is complete, the system will reboot automatically. The new firmware will load in at this

Restore to Default Settings :

In certain situations whereby the camera ‘locks up’ or fails to respond to communications / commands etc it
may be necessary to carry out a system reset, restoring the cameras configuration to it’s factory settings.
This is achieved by using the Reset button.

Due to the water-resistance design, the Reset button is located inside the housing. To press the Reset
button, it is necessary to open the rear cover. To learn the procedures, please refer to the previous “Install a
Micro- SD card” section.

Press and release the Reset Button. Within 1 second, the system will be restarted (the LED Indicator will
be steady amber). Upon successful reboot, the LED will be steady green during normal operation.

Press and hold the Reset Button until (over 10 seconds) the LED Indicator becomes red. The system will
