VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Introduction
The Sarix® TI Series combines the power of an advanced thermal imaging device with the precision of an Esprit® positioning system. At the core
of the Sarix TI Series is an uncooled, sun-safe, amorphous silicon microbolometer, long wave infrared (LWIR) camera. Every Sarix TI Series
features IP and analog outputs in the same package. The pan/tilt positioner can be controlled using IP or analog systems that use Coaxitron® or
RS-422 Pelco D and Pelco P protocols.
The Sarix TI Series provides outstanding sensitivity below 50 mK. It is capable of multiple display formats, including white hot, black hot, and
rainbow. The Sarix TI Series is available with multiple lens configurations for effective deployment in a wide range of applications.
The camera features open architecture connectivity to third-party software. Pelco offers an application programming interface (API) and software
development kit (SDK) that enables third-party systems to interface with Pelco's IP cameras. The camera is also compatible with Endura
and Digital Sentry® to record, manage, configure, and view multiple live streams.
BUILT-IN ANALYTICS
When used in an IP video system, the Sarix TI Series is preloaded with user-configurable behaviors. The device is capable of running up to three
behaviors at the same time; however, the number of behaviors is limited to the available processing power of the camera and the type of analytic
being used.
Pelco analytics are configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. Refer to Analytic Configuration on page 47 for instructions on how to
configure and enable Pelco analytics.
COMPATIBLE SYSTEMS
The device can also be used with an Endura, DX Series, or Digital Sentry system. It also works with many third-party systems with Pelco’s API
and the ONVIF API. For detailed instructions on configuring the device using one of these systems, refer to the manual shipped with the system.
Go to partnerfirst.pelco.com for a list of compatible products and partners.
Before installing your camera, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in this section.
NOTES:
•While this camera can operate in both IP and analog modes, it is recommended that you use the camera in only one of these modes at any
given time, not both.
•Pelco recommends connecting the camera to a network that uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to address devices.
•Do not use a network hub when configuring the network settings for the camera.
•To ensure secure access to the IP camera, place the camera behind a firewall when it is connected to a network.

The Sarix TI provides three alarm inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Both normally open and
normally closed devices are supported.
SUPERVISED ALARMS
When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the Sarix TI maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit
(3.3 VDC, 1 kohm). If the alarm circuit length changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass, the voltage fluctuates from its normal state and
activates an alarm.
NOTE: Install the 1-kohm resistor as close to the switch as possible.

CONNECTING AUDIO
NOTES:
•The maximum recommended cable length for the audio wiring is 304.8 m (1,000 ft).
•The Sarix TI is designed to work with microphones that have an internal preamplifier and provide professional line-level output (+4 dBu).
•If your microphone is a consumer line-level device (–10 dBu), the audio output may be quieter than you expect. Mic-level devices are not
recommended as they must be amplified to a line-level signal, which often results in excessive noise.

H.264 compression: For the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream. You can also select Unicast or Multicast from the Transmission dropdown menu.
JPEG compression: For the Secondary Stream or QuickView Stream, select Images Per Second (IPS) from the Throttle drop-down menu.
4. Click the Select button to save the stream settings.
Primary Stream and Secondary Stream
The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams
can be set up using a video configuration preset or they can be customized using the video configuration settings.
A video preset is a predefined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream
configuration, use the Video Presets page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams tab.
To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream, select the Settings page and then use the Video Configuration page located in the dropdown menu of the A/V Streams tab. Configurable settings include the stream name, compression, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and I-frame
interval of the video streams. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names are
changed, the new names replace the default names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.
QuickView Stream
The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with a lower resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is available when
the Imaging tab settings are being configured. This allows users to view changes to exposure, white balance, and other settings as they are
configured and before the settings are saved.
22 C1317M-C (8/13)
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream.
Event Stream
The Event Stream displays a list of alerts triggered by a running analytic behavior. The alert includes a screen capture, the profile that was
triggered, and the zone where the alert was detected. For the Event Stream to work you must have an analytic behavior profile running. To set up
and run analytic behaviors, profiles, and zones, use the Analytic Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the Events tab.
Unicast
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.The camera supports a
maximum of 20 simultaneous users.
Multicast
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.
TAKING A SNAPSHOT
1. Click the Take a Snapshot button.
2. A dialog box opens, allowing you to open or save the file.
3. Select one of the following options:
Open: Your computer’s photo editing program opens and displays the screen image. This function is available only when using
Microsoft
Save: The image is saved as a JPEG file at the location you specify.
Cancel: The captured image is not opened or saved and the dialog box closes.
NOTE: If you are using JPEG, the captured image is the size of the largest MJPEG stream. If you are using MPEG-4 or H.264, the image is
captured using the QuickView Stream, which is a low resolution image.
SETTINGS PAGE
Depending on user permissions, the Settings page allows you to manage camera system and network settings, set up users, configure events,
and control the camera imaging and streams.
NOTE: The Settings menu might not be available if the user does not have permission to access this feature.
