Read the installation instructions before installing and connecting the IP camera.

Power Connection

You can use 12vDC power, 24vAC power or Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the CM­716 camera. When powered by PoE, any 802.3af compliant device may be used to
provide power. When using 12vDC or 24vAC power, refer to the pin definition table in the
Camera Overview > Connections section for the proper 2-wire connection.

OpenEye recommends against using more than one power source at a time. Do

not use a PoE power source when providing the camera with 12vDC or 24vAC
power.

However, only 24vAC power will properly power the heater in the camera. If the camera is
not subjected to temperatures lower than 40°F, a heater is not necessary and 24vAC,
12vDC or PoE (using an injector or compliant switch) will be suitable. Please verify that all
installations that require a heater use 24vAC power.

Make sure the camera’s power cable is correctly and firmly connected. If using Power
over Ethernet (PoE), make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is in use in the
network.

Ethernet Cable Connection

OpenEye recommends using Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your
network. For the best transmission quality, the cable length should not exceed 328 feet
(100 meters). Connect a network cable to the camera using the RJ45 input and connect
the other end of the cable to your network switch or recorder.

If you are connecting the camera directly to a recorder, a crossover cable is

necessary for most configurations.

Check the status of the network connection by looking at the link indicator and activity
indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are not lit check your network connection. The green link LED
indicates a network connection and the orange activity LED flashes to indicate network
activity.

There are some challenges with connecting to OpenEye IP cameras over WAN (internet)
connections because the camera streams video over RTSP. RTSP is an excellent
protocol for media and is now used on many IP cameras (including OpenEye) as the
default streaming option.

RTSP, however, is not suitable for transmission between two locations that are behind
different routers. In this case, the client (for example, the OpenEye HVR or NVR server
software) connects to the camera, and then requests a stream. The camera uses that
connection to return a stream, but since the connection originated on the client side and
has now switched to the camera (remote) side, the router does not have any way to
determine where the traffic should be routed, so no video appears at the recorder. There
are three solutions to this.

1. Connect modems on both sides directly to the recorder and camera. If there is no

router, no network address translation is needed.

2. Use routers with VPN support and set up a small VPN. Once this is done, the

traffic will be treated as though it were all on the local network.

3. (Best solution) – Use routers with connection tracking. This is quite easy;

VOIP also uses RTSP and faces the same challenges. If a router is marketed as
having “VOIP Support”, it will have the necessary connection tracking capability
to allow any type of RTSP communication (not just VOIP).

With proper planning and the correct equipment, RTSP cameras CAN stream over the
WAN to a recording device for minimal additional cost and labor.

Please contact OpenEye support if you require any additional information on these topics.

31186AE 29

To access the setup menu, you need to install the viewer software on your PC or recorder.
The viewer software will install automatically the first time you connect to the camera. If

38

Video Resolution

The camera provides eight codec options under
video resolution (two single streaming options, two
sets of dual streaming options, two sets of tri­streaming options, and two sets of quad-streaming
options):

 H.264 Only
 MJPEG Only
 H.264 + H.264
 H.264 + MJPEG
 H.264 + H.264 + H.264
 H.264 + H.264 + MJPEG
 H.264 + H.264 + H.264 + H.264
 H.264 + H.264 + H.264 + MJPEG

Once a codec option is selected, multiple resolutions are available for each stream.

Due to resource management, some resolutions may be unavailable when

selecting a dual stream option.

31186AE 39

Normal Video – The video will be oriented as the camera position dictates.
180 Degree Rotate – Rotate the video 180 degrees.
90 Degree Clockwise – Rotate the video 90 degrees clockwise.
90 Degree Counter Clockwise– Rotate the video 90 degrees counter clockwise.
Mirror Video – Flip the video across the vertical axis.
Mirror + 180 Degree Rotate – Flip the video across the vertical axis and rotate 180

degrees.

The Group of Pictures settings allow you to modify the frame structure of the video
stream. This setting changes the frequency of the I-frames that occur within the stream of
P-frames (2~64). Increasing this number increases the number of P-frames between each
I-frame; decreasing the file size of the stream, but increasing the risk of video decoding
errors. Decreasing this number decreases the number of P-Frames between each I-frame;
increasing the file size of the stream, but decreasing the risk of video decoding errors.
OpenEye recommends setting the GOP to be approximately twice the frame rate (e.g.: if
the frame rate is 10 IPS, then set the GOP to 20). 

The H.264 Profile may need to be changed if you are using a third party recorder that is
not capable of decoding H.264 Main Profile video compression. Select compatible
compression type for each stream if necessary.

40

Video Frame Rate

Setting the camera to transmit fewer frames can save
bandwidth. Use the Frame Rate Control screen to
adjust the frame rate of each stream.

Each of the MJPEG and H.264 streams can have a
separate frame rate setting from 1 to 30 frames per
second.

Higher frame rate will increase video

smoothness, as well as file size and
bandwidth usage.

Lower frame rate will decrease video

smoothness, as well as file size and
bandwidth usage.

31186AE 41

Video Compression

You can select an MJPEG / H.264 compression mode on the video compression page
appropriate for your application. You can also select to display compression inflation on
the Live Screen.

MJPEG compression settings include:

 High compression, low bitrate, low quality
 Middle compression, default
 Low compression, high bitrate, high quality

H.264 compression settings include:

 1024kbps, highest compression, lowest quality
 2048kbps
 4096kbps, middle compression, default
 6144kbps
 8192kbps, low compression, highest quality

CBR Mode Setting

 The Constant Bit Rate mode allows you to lock in the bit rate of the H.264

stream. If this setting is not enabled, bit rate may fluctuate based on available
bandwidth.

42

Network Setup

The Network Setup settings will automatically be set at the recommended default after the
camera connection is made.

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is a service that allows a connection to an IP
address using a hostname (URL) address instead of a numeric IP address. Most Internet
Service Providers use Dynamic IP Addressing that frequently changes the public IP
address of your internet connection; this means that when connecting to the camera over
the internet, you need to know if your IP address has changed. DDNS automatically
redirects traffic to your current IP address when using the hostname address.

 Enable DDNS – Select the check box to enable DDNS.
 Provider – Select a DDNS host from the Provider list.
 Host name – Type the registered domain name in the field.
 Username/E-mail – Type the username or e-mail required by the DDNS

provider for authentication.

 Password/Key – Type the password or key required by the DDNS provider

for authentication.

Network Advanced

Quality of Service allows you to prioritize network traffic services of the camera’s

functions. The QoS function utilizes the Differentiated Services prioritized using Codepoint
vales (DSCP).

Routers and switches on the network must be QoS or DSCP capable, and

have these settings enable for this function to operate on your network.

31186AE 43

With Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enabled, the camera can be
monitored and managed remotely with a network management system. Contact your
network administrator if you are not familiar with SNMP setup.

Enable UPnP – When enabled, the camera will appear in My Network Places on
Windows computers running UPnP on the same network.

Enable UPnP Port Forwarding – When enabled, the camera will attempt to open the
web server port on the router automatically.

Friendly Name – Set a name to easily identify the camera.

44

Network Security

The camera can send alarm messages to a specific Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
site when motion is detected or when the sensor input is activated. You can assign alarm
messages to up to two HTTP sites.

IP Filtering allows you limit access to your IP cameras by IP address. You can “Allow” or

“Deny” a specific IP address by adding it to the appropriate list. IP addresses on the

“Allowed IP List” will be able to access the IP camera. IP addresses on the “Deny IP List”

will NOT be able to access the IP camera.

This is a well supported security protocol commonly used by wireless vendors. This
security method requires a valid CA certification and key. When properly configured, all
communication between the client (usually a recorder) and the camera is encrypted.

31186AE 45

Alarm Application

The alarms menu is where alarm connections are
configured.

Alarm Switch – Designate when the alarm will be
active; Off, On, or By Schedule.

Alarm Type – Designate if the alarm is normally
open or normally closed.

 NOH – NO stands for Normally Open.
 NC/L – NC stands for Normally Closed.

Example: A door sticker consists of two contacts that are connected when under
normal conditions. This type of input would be a NC/L or normally closed alarm.
The alarm will trigger when the two contacts are no longer connected, such as an
abnormal condition when the door is opened.

Alarm Output – Choose high or low.
Trigger Action – Specify which actions the camera should take when motion is detected.

 Send Alarm Message by FTP / E-mail – Select to send an alarm message to a

configured FTP and/or e-mail address when motion is detected. When sending to
email, the alarm notification is text only. When sending to FRP, the alarm
notification will upload a text file to the FRP location.

 Upload Images by FTP – Select to assign an FTP site and configure various

parameters as shown in the figure below. When motion is detected, event
images will be uploaded to the appointed FRP site.

 Upload Image by E-mail – Select to assign an e-mail address and configure

various parameters as shown in the figure below. When motion is detected,
event images will be sent to the appropriate e-mail address.

Make sure SMTP or FTP configuration has been completed. See the Mail

and FTP sections for more information.

 File Name – Enter a file name in the box, ex. Image.jpg. The uploaded image’s

file name format can be set in this section. Select the one that meets your
requirements.

Consult the documentation to the sensor input device to determine which of these to use.

31186AE 47

Mail, HTTP and FTP Setup

The camera can send an e-mail via Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) when a variety
of events occur. SMTP is a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. SMTP
is a relatively simple, text-based protocol, where one or more recipients of a message are
specified and the message text is transferred. The configuration page is shown as follows:

Two sets of SMTP accounts can be configured. Each set includes SMTP Server, Account
Name, Password and E-mail Address settings. For SMTP server, contact your network
service provider for more specific information.
