The IP Camera can be connected in one of two ways:
1) 1 to 1 connection where one camera is connected to one PC client or a decoder
system, or 2) 1 to many connections where one system can be connected to several
PCs and decoder systems (the video server can work as a video decoder which takes
the data from a video server or IP camera, decodes and outputs analog video).
Topology
Generally, the IP Camera and PC or a Decoder is connected in a 1-to-1 mode or a 1-to
many configuration:
1:1 Connection
Site
Remote Center (Decoder)
Remote Center
Site
Remote Center (PC SW)
One camera is installed at a site where video images are transmitted. A PC or a
decoder is installed at a central location to receive and view the video images on an
analog monitor. Audio and serial data are transferred in either direction.
1:N Connection
Site
Remote Center
or
o
o
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote central locations.
Maximum connections would be limited by network bandwidth connection. Functionally,
the VMS (Video Management System) software provided can replace the decoder.
If the network supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used to receive
video effectively from a camera using a single streaming of video and audio. However,
Multicast Mode is possible only when the network environment supports multicast.
Relay
Site Center 1(Decoder)
Video and Audio Data can be retransmitted from one center to another center. The
arrangement is useful when the limited network bandwidth can allow more than one
center to monitor this site.
VMS (Video Management System)
Site
Remote Center
Site
Remote Center (Decoder)
VMS (Video Management System) is a Window-Based Remote Monitoring Program in
used to monitor or control video, audio, and events in real time from several IP cameras
or video servers. Please refer to the VMS User Manual for more details.
Connect the Power Adaptor to IP Camera
Connect Network Cable to Ethernet Port
To display video through Composite Port, after connecting each port to a monitor,
set preview option “ON” on the web-viewer page.
2.2 Connecting Audio
Audio is Full-Duplex. It is possible to set the mode as Tx-Only, Rx-Only or Tx-Rx.
Connect Audio Input and Output Ports to audio devices accordingly.
The Audio Signal required is Line Level, so audio equipment with an amp, mixer or
other amplifier should be used.
2.3 Connecting Serial Ports
RS-485 on the IP camera can be connected to external equipment such as a PT
Receiver, etc. PC client can send PT commands to the external equipment via the
serial port. When a decoder system, instead of PC client, is connected to the IP
camera, the serial port and decoder system works in pass-through mode; data from one
port is delivered to the other port and vice versa.
2.4 Connecting Sensor and Alarm
Connect Sensor and Alarm Devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.
2.5 Connecting Power
After confirming the Power Source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC
connector to the IP camera.
2.6 Check if it Works
Once the power is supplied to the IP camera, it will start booting. The IP camera will
boot up to an operating mode after approximately 40-60 seconds. The green LED on
the Ethernet Port will flash indicating the IP camera is ready. Software provided on the
disc called VS Manager, allows you to check the IP address and other network details
of the IP camera. Please refer to the VS Manager manual for instructions on how to find
the camera’s IP address and details to modify if necessary.
There are two ways to monitor video when the center system and IP camera are
connected. In order for a proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly.
Please refer to the VS Manager Manual enclosed with product for further details.

Time Zone
Select Time Zone of Camera
This is the Time Zone where camera is installed. Daylight Savings Time should take
effect automatically.
A Time Zone is a region of the earth that has a uniform standard time, usually
referred to as the Local Time. By convention, time zones compute their local time
as an offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). In casual use, GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time) can be considered equivalent to UTC. Local time is UTC
plus the current time zone offset for the considered location
Automatically Synchronize with NTP Server
Synchronize the camera time with an NTP server using NTP (Network Time Protocol).
The name of the NTP Server should be registered as the NTP Server Name.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of
computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. It is
designed particularly to resist the effects of variable latency by using a jitter buffer.
Reboot
Reboot the Camera
If the server needs to be restarted, press the Reboot Button.

All settings including user accounts and logs will be reset to the default values.
Factory Reset Except Network Settings
All the settings will be reset to the default values except for current network settings.
Enable Preview
Select ON to enable the display video on the monitor that is connected to the
composite or HD-SDI video port.
Select the Output Format at the end of the video page.
Note that when Enable Preview is ON, dual streaming is not available. When the
video is transmitted directly to the monitor through BNC cable, the video does not go
through the network and encoding. Therefore, there is less delay and no effect from
network limitation.
Input Deinterlace
Deinterlace Function is activated when ON is selected.
Resolution
Select Video Encoding Resolution
Scaling option is used when encoding resolution is different from input resolution.
Without ‘Scaling’, input video will be cut according to encoding resolution. If ‘Scaling’ is
selected, input video will be adjusted according to encoding resolution.
Frame Rate
Determine the Maximum Number of Frames per Second for the Video Stream
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,15,20,25 and 30 frame rate can be selected. The actual frame rate of
video can be less than the maximum frame rate set due to the network bandwidth
limitation.
Preference
Select Encoding Mode to Control Video Quality or Bit Rate: Quality (VBR) or Bit
Rate (CBR). If ‘Bit Rate’ is selected, the video encoding will be effected by the Bit Rate
value entered. Therefore, Bit Rate mode corresponds to CBR (Constant Bit Rate)
encoding. If ‘Quality’ is selected, the video encoding will be effected by the quality of
image selected. Therefore, ‘Quality’ mode corresponds to VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
encoding.
Quality
Select Video Quality: 7 levels of quality are available
Quality Mode (VBR encoding) tries to encode every frame in a constant quality.
Therefore, resulting bit rate depend on the complexity or activity changes in the input
video. It is preferred when constant video quality is required and network bandwidth is
enough for delivering the stream of highly varying bit rate.
Bit Rate
Determine Bit Rate Value Between 32 ~ 10240kbps.
Bit Rate Mode (CBR encoding) allows you to set a fixed target bit rate that consumes a
predictable amount of bandwidth. In order to keep the bit rate limit, video quality is
controlled dynamically according to the complexity or activity changes in the input
video.
I-Frame Interval
Determine I-Frame Interval between 1 and 255.
H.264 Profile
Select H.264 Profile: High Profile or Baseline Profile
The standard defines various sets of capabilities, which are referred to as profiles,
targeting specific classes of applications.
High Profile (HiP)
The primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for
high-definition television applications (For Example: this is the profile adopted by
the Blu-Ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).
Baseline Profile (BP)
Primarily for low-cost applications that require additional data loss robustness,
this profile is used in some videoconferencing and mobile applications. This
profile includes all features that are supported in the Constrained Baseline
Profile, plus three additional features that can be used for loss robustness (or for
other purposes such as low-delay multi-point video stream compositing).
Dual Encode

Explorer. Each item can be turned on or off separately and position can be configured.
This information is displayed after the video is decompressed.
BurnIn OSD
Insert System ID and Date/Time in the Compressed Video. System ID and Time can
be turned ON or OFF in the video. Position and Font Size can be configured as well.
System ID for BurnIn OSD exists independently from the Normal System ID.
Note: the size of the BurnIn OSD display varies according to the encoding resolution
setting. This is inevitable because BurnIn OSD is inserted to the frames before
encoding is performed.
G.711 and AAC from client to server direction are supported. Thus, bidirectional audio
communication is supported.
Bit Rate
Select the Bit Rate between 64Kbps and 128kbps when AAC is selected

Domain Name System (DNS) is a database system that translates a computer's fully qualified
domain name into an IP address. Networked computers use IP addresses to locate and connect to
each other, but IP addresses can be difficult for people to remember. For Example: It’s much easier
to remember the domain name www.amazon.com than it is to remember its corresponding IP
address (207.171.166.48). Each organization that maintains a computer network will have at least
one server handling DNS queries. That server, called a name server, will hold a list of all the IP
addresses within its network, plus a cache of IP addresses for recently accessed computers outside
the network.

By selecting ON, HTTP Authentication is used for all clients with HTTP API.
One-Way Streaming
This IP Camera provides two kinds of one-way (unidirectional) streaming based on
UDP to clients: RTP and MPEG-TS. Both are a kind of broadcasting where traffic from
client to server is not generated at all.
RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) is an Internet protocol used for
transmitting single real-time multimedia data such as audio and video to a select group
of connected clients. Normally, RTSP uses RTP to format packets of multimedia
content. The RTP menu is used when the RTP is streaming without RTSP connection.
RTP stream will be transmitted to the destination set. The SDP (Session Description
Protocol) file can be found on the server and a client can retrieve it using an http
connection.
Related Settings are as follows:
Destination IP: Set the IP Address of the Destination System which will receive the
RTP stream. If the system is a decoder, RTSP authentication information can be
entered in the middle of the RTSP URL as follows:
rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.10.100:554/video1
-Destination Port: Set the Destination System Port that will receive the RTP Stream.
-
User Name: Enter the name that will be used as the User Name for the SDP File.
-File Name: Enter the name that will be used as the SDP File Name. It can be
accessed through http://ServerAddress/filename
MPEG-TS is a standard format for transmission and storage of audio, video, and
data and is used in broadcast systems such as DVB and ATSC. Transport Stream is
specified in MPEG-2 Part 1, Systems (formally known as ISO/IEC standard 13818-1 or
ITU-T Rec. H.222.0). Transport Stream specifies a container format encapsulating
packetized elementary streams, with error correction and stream synchronization with
features for maintaining transmission integrity when the signal is degraded.
As MPEG-TS itself supports AAC as the audio algorithm, only video is streamed when
audio algorithm is set to G.711.
Related Settings are as follows:
-Destination IP: Set the IP Address of the Destination System that will receive the
MPEG-TS Stream.
-Destination Port: Set the Destination System Port that will receive the MPEG-TS
Stream.
SNMP
Setup for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Compatible with both SNMPv1 and SNMPvec. Settings for using SNMP are as follows:
SNMP Listen Port (0, 161, 1025 ~ 65535): This port is for connecting external
devices when system operates as a SNMP client. SNMP is not used when value is 0.
SNMP Trap Destination IP: Set the SNMP Trap Destination IP.
SNMP Trap Destination Port (0, 162, 1025 ~ 65535): Set the SNMP Trap
Destination Port. SNMP is not used when value is 0.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used by network management
systems to communicate with network elements. SNMP allows TCP/IP-based
network management clients use a TCP/IP-based internet work to exchange
information about the configuration and status of nodes. SNMP can also generate
trap messages used to report significant TCP/IP events asynchronously to
interested clients. For Example: A router could send a message if one of its
redundant power supplies fails or a printer could send an SNMP trap when it is out
of paper.
Multicast IP
The Multicast Menu is used for configuring the Multicast IP Address to which media
stream is delivered when a client, such as Decoder, VMS or NVR software, is
connected in Multicast Mode. The Multicast IP Address selection range is between
224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255. The selection can be used only when media protocol is
set to Multicast.
DDNS
Select the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Server to use. Select from one of the two servers:
True DNS: TrueDNS Service is used in this mode. Systems can be registered on
the website for TrueDNS service: http://ns1.truecam.net. System will have a domain
name of xxx.truecam.net style. Please refer to user guide document for True DNS
service.
DynDNS: DynDNS Service is used in this mode. Refer to www.dyndns.org for
details. ID, Password and Domain name are needed when DynDNS is set.
Dynamic DNS is a method, protocol, or network service that provides the capability
for a networked device, such as a router or computer system using the Internet
Protocol Suite, to notify a domain name server to change, in real time (ad-hoc) the
active DNS configuration of its configured hostnames, addresses or other
information stored in DNS.
Vdyn: Vdyn is a DDNS Service provided by Visionica (http://visionica.com). No
further configuration is required for using this service. It internally uses the MAC
address for the registration. When it succeeds, the domain name of the form
001C63A607EC.visionica.info is displayed on the Current Domain entry of Network
page. E-mail setting is not mandatory.
Check IP Disable: If ‘Check IP Disable’ is selected, it will skip to check its own
IP Address. In Fixed IP Mode, the set IP will be registered on the DDNS Server. In
DHCP Mode, dynamically assigned IP will be registered on the DDNS server. Normally,
‘Check IP Disable’ should be unchecked in order to obtain the Public IP in the network.
Bit Rate Control
When one or more clients are connected to the same camera, due to bandwidth
differences, some clients do not have enough bandwidth to receive the encoded stream
completely. In this case, it is possible to select the way video streaming is received:
- Frame Drop Mode: Encoding is performed strictly according to video settings.
When a client is connected through a network with less bandwidth, it may not receive all
the frames. Frames are dropped on the sending module if the network is bottlenecked.
- Suppression Mode: Encoding bit rate and frame rate are adjusted not to drop
any frames when the network bandwidths are limited to some clients. In this case, all
clients can be affected by the averaged bit rate and frame rate.
When a Decoder is connected to an IP Camera instead of a PC Client, one system
becomes a Local System and the other a Remote System (generally the system
being used by the user is called the Local System). Actions can be configured for
Remote System Events as well as Local System Events. For Example: It is possible
to turn on an alarm device in a local (center) decoder system when a sensor device in
remote (site) IP camera is triggered. Local section configures the actions for events
from local (self) system and this configuration activates local devices. Remote sections
configure the actions for events from a remote (peer) system.
The following table shows the possible Event Actions:
