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 IXE Series is an extended platform network-based camera with a built-in, Web-based viewer for live streaming to a standard Web browser
(Microsoft® Internet Explorer® or Mozilla® Firefox®). 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®, DX Series, and Digital Sentry® systems to record, manage, configure, and view multiple
live streams.
The camera supports two compression formats and many resolutions. The two standard compression formats include H.264 and MJPEG. The
dual streams can be configured for a variety of resolutions, frame rates, and bit rates.
The IXE Series includes 1.3 and 2.1 megapixel (MPx) day/night models that feature a mechanical IR cut filter that increases camera sensitivity in
low-light situations. The camera uses a 1/3-inch imager and accommodates CS-mount lenses.
The camera also includes built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE), which supplies power to the camera through the network. If PoE is not available, the
camera is prewired for 24 VAC.
BUILT-IN ANALYTICS
All IXE Series models are 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. The behaviors are also compatible with Endura or a third-party system
that supports the Pelco Analytics API. Refer to the specific product documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco
analytics.
Models are also available with ObjectVideo® (OV) Suites. OV Suites require an OV ready-compliant system with an OV Ready™ video
management system to configure and enable the OV Analytic Suites that are preloaded on the camera. Refer to the ObjectVideo documentation
for instructions on how to configure and enable OV 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.

NORMALLY OPENNORMALLY CLOSED
The camera provides an alarm input 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 camera maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit
(3.3 VDC, 1 ohm). 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.
Figure 10 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of a supervised alarm input. Whether the alarm is normally closed or normally open,
neither a cut nor a bypass can defeat these alarms.

stream:
MPEG-4 or H.264 compression: For the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream, select Unicast and 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.
1.
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.
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 unicast transmission
setting is available in the primary and secondary stream display settings.
