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.

SELECTING A STREAM

1. Click the Select Stream button.

2. Select one of the following streams from the Select Stream page:

Primary Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to Primary Stream.

Secondary Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to Secondary Stream.

QuickView Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to QuickView Stream.

Event Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to Event Stream.

3. Configure the display settings for the selected stream. Available display settings are determined by the video compression of the selected
stream:

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 settings are being configured.

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.

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.
The multicast transmission setting is available in the primary and secondary stream display settings.

C2270M (7/13) 9

THROTTLE

Throttle sets the upper limit on the image rate delivered to your computer. Lowering the throttle reduces the load on the network and on your
computer, which might be helpful when resources are limited. The throttle setting is available only when QuickStream is selected.

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: The captured image resolution is 2016 x 1523 and is not dependent on the stream that is selected.

Network Tab

Use the Network tab to change the camera’s general network settings, select the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings, enable Secure Shell (SSH),
configure 802.1x port security, and select Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) settings.

General Network Settings

The general network settings page includes configurable and read-only fields for IPv4 and IPv6 network communication settings. Available
settings include the hardware address, host name, IPv4 settings, and IPv6 settings. The hardware address is read-only.

IPv4 settings must be configured for the device. You can enable or disable the IPv4 DHCP setting from the general network settings page. If DHCP
is set to On, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server settings are automatically assigned to the device and are read-only text. If
DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually configured. The default camera setting for DHCP is On.

SSL Settings

The SSL settings page includes SSL configuration modes and certificate generation. To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide
several security levels that can be adjusted for sites that use SSL technology to transmit data. SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult
for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.

SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the Web browser accessing the camera has the required authentication. The camera can
generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign
a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.

®

), or it can generate

SSH Settings

The SSH settings page enables or disables SSH access to the camera. SSH is a user-enabled protocol that allows Pelco Product Support to log on
to and service the camera for advanced troubleshooting purposes. From the SSH settings page, users with the appropriate permissions can
enable or disable SSH access to the camera.

802.1x Settings

The 802.1x settings page enables or disables 802.1x port security, which authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access
through a wired or wireless port using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) protocols. This port-based authentication method prevents
unauthorized access to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a physical port. For example, when a device is connected to a network port, the
network switch asks the device for authentication. The device replies with its credentials. If the credentials are accepted, the network switch
opens the port for normal use. If authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.

SNMP Settings

The SNMP setting page includes SNMP configuration settings. SNMP is an application layer protocol used to manage TCP/IP-based networks
from a single workstation or several workstations. The camera supports SNMP v2c and v3 and can be configured to send traps.

NOTE: If the SSL mode is set to disabled, you cannot access the camera using a URL that begins with an “https:” protocol. Your Web
browser displays an error message if you do not type the camera URL correctly.

Optional: A signed SSL certificate must be installed, but a secure URL that begins with the protocol name “https:” is optional when
accessing the camera. You can also access the camera using a standard URL with the “http:” protocol, but sensitive data is not encrypted
during transmission. To ensure that sensitive data is encrypted, you must use a secure URL with the “https:” protocol.

Required: A signed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate must be installed, and a secure URL that begins with the protocol name “https:”
must be used to access the camera. Sensitive data is always encrypted during transmission. A URL that begins with the “http:” protocol
rather than the “https:” protocol is redirected to the secure URL automatically.

NOTE: Beginning with firmware version 1.8.2, this mode cannot be modified in the Web browser. To select or clear the Required mode, you
must use the ONVIF or Pelco API call. Doing so avoids placing the camera into a mode in which it would no longer work with a connected

Imaging Tab

Use the Imaging tab to change the camera’s general image settings, adjust the camera exposure, program the focus mechanism, adjust the tone
map settings to increase scene detail, or define window blanking privacy areas.

General Imaging Settings

General imaging settings include adjustments for camera orientation and digital processing. The Orientation settings reconfigure the image
180 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically. Use these settings when installing the camera in an inverted position. If the orientation is
not adjusted, the image will display upside down and mirrored.

Digital processing settings include 3D noise reduction and auto white balance options as well as slider controls to adjust the camera’s
sharpness, saturation, hue, contrast, brightness, and wide dyananic range (WDR) strength.

The WDR strength control offers a balance between image detail and image contrast. A lower WDR strength increases contrast in most scenes,
but with reduced detail. A higher WDR strength ensures greater detail, but may result in reduced contrast and a washed-out look to the image.

3D noise reduction reduces noise and creates the best image quality for most scenes, but can obscure details in moving objects. If moving
objects appear blurrier than the rest of the scene, turn 3D noise reduction off.

Auto white balance settings define how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. When set to On, white balance
automatically adjusts to deliver the best possible image in scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one type of light
source. For example, scenes that benefit from white balance correction are outdoor scenes, indoor scenes that include a window or door that
opens to the outdoors, or indoor scenes that include both incandescent and fluorescent lighting.

Exposure Settings

The exposure settings page includes adjustments for exposure, flicker, and day and night options.

Exposure is the amount of light detected by the camera sensor. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail and contrast between
white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates detail in the scene.

Flicker correction reduces rolling shutter flicker in images with reduced dynamic range. Auto flicker correction automatically reduces rolling
shutter flicker in scenes with reduced dynamic range, but it does not reduce picture flicker in scenes with high dynamic range. The On setting
reduces rolling shutter picture flicker, and it dramatically reduces the amount of dynamic range in the image. The default setting Off maintains
the maximum amount of dynamic range in the image, but it can produce rolling shutter picture flicker in scenes with florescent or other
oscillating light sources.

Day/night settings control the position of the IR cut filter, which determines the color or black-white setting of the camera. Day/night settings
change depending on the exposure settings.

Focus Settings

Focus sets the back focus to the center focal point of the scene. The camera can be configured to back focus automatically or manually. Auto
focus automatically back focuses the camera on the subject in the center of the scene. Manual focus turns off the auto focus mechanism and
locks the camera at a user-specified position. The manual focus setting is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single,
unchanging primary light source. The Focus page also includes Full Range Auto-Focus and Factory Defaults.

Tone Map Settings

Tone map balances the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to produce an image with more balanced lighting and more detail. This is
accomplished, in part, when the device maps the 10-bit input sensor data (0 to 1023 bits) into 8-bit output RGB values (0 to 255 bits).

Window Blanking Settings

Window blanking is used to conceal user-defined privacy areas. A blanked area appears on the screen as a solid gray window. The camera can
handle up to sixteen blanked windows as long as the total blanked area does not exceed 50 percent of the field of view.

Frame Rate: This setting prioritizes a guaranteed frame rate in all lighting conditions.

4. Move the slider to the left or right to change the following settings:

Max Exposure Time: Controls the maximum time in milliseconds that the sensor is exposed to the light. Move the slider to the left to
decrease the maximum exposure time, which decreases light sensitivity and reduces motion blurring. Move the slider to the right to
increase the maximum exposure time, which increases light sensitivity and motion blurring. The available range of maximum exposure
settings is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.

Max Gain: Increasing the gain increases the brightness of the image, but it also increases the amount of noise in the image. Move the
slider to the desired position. The available gain settings are 0 to 100. The default setting is 100.

5. Set the Flicker Correction mode to Auto, On, or Off.

Auto: This setting automatically reduces rolling shutter flicker in scenes with low dynamic range, but it does not reduce picture flicker in
scenes with high dynamic range.

On: This setting reduces rolling shutter picture flicker, and it dramatically reduces the amount of dynamic range in the image.

Off: This setting maintains the maximum amount of dynamic range in the image, but it can produce rolling shutter picture flicker in scenes

with florescent or other oscillating light sources. Off is the default setting.

6. If required, click the Restore Settings to Defaults button to restore the default settings.

DAY NIGHT SETTINGS

The Day Night mode controls the position of the IR cut filter, which determines the color or black-white setting of the camera. The Day Night

4. If required, click the Restore Settings to Defaults button to restore the default settings.

CONFIGURING AUTO FOCUS SETTINGS

1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.

2. Select Focus from the drop-down menu.

3. Select the Auto mode.

4. Set the Temperature Change Refocus setting. The camera is programmed to run an automatic focus sequence when the internal
temperature sensor of the camera detects an environmental temperature change of 41°F (5°C). This focus sequence adjusts the center
focal point of the scene to maintain optimal focus. The default setting is On; select Off to turn off this setting.

5. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day/Night Switch Refocus setting. The default setting for the Day/Night Switch Refocus is Off. Select On
if the camera’s focal length is greater than ~25 mm or the night scene uses mostly IR lighting. The best method to determine if the day/night
refocus should be enabled is to test the camera with the daytime light conditions, and then test it again with the nighttime light conditions.

When the setting is On, the imager automatically refocuses the lens when the camera changes from night mode (black-white) to day mode
(color) or the reverse. For example, if the camera changes from day mode to night mode, the imager automatically adjusts the back focus for
the change in light.

6. If required, use one of the following buttons to adjust the focus:

Full Range Auto-Focus: The camera starts a full-range search to find the optimal focal point for the scene.

Restore Setings to Defaults: The camera resets the auto focus to the factory default setting.

CONFIGURING MANUAL FOCUS SETTINGS

NOTE: It is recommended to set the focus to Manual when using analytics. If the focus is set to Auto, significant background changes will occur

when the camera automatically adjusts to different points within a scene resulting in frequently changing image sharpness. This may cause
problems with scene recognition, which will suspend analytics operation or cause false alarms.

1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.

2. Select Focus from the drop-down menu.

A/V Streams Tab

Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab includes video presets settings, and
video and audio configuration.

Video Presets Settings

The video preset settings page includes three fully-configured video presets, High, Medium, and Low, which include primary and secondary video
stream settings for easy setup. These presets can also be used as a starting point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations
vary depending on camera model.

Video Configuration Settings

The video configuration settings page allows you to customize the 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. Although each stream can be configured independently,
the settings of one stream can limit the options available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.

NOTE: Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should always be the most resource-intensive of
the streams.

Audio Configuration Settings

The audio configuration settings page allows you to set up the internal audio device or an external audio device. The default setting for audio is
disabled, which means that no audio is transmitted from the camera. When enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on
your system configuration, images and audio might not be synchronized.

Not all camera models are equipped with an internal audio device. Refer to the specifications for your camera model for information.

NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment might subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and might require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are
solely responsible for ensuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

NOTE: The compression standard, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and I-frame interval settings are dependent on each other. You must first
decide the priority setting before you configure a stream. For example, if you want an image rate of 30 ips, set the image rate before you
configure the other settings.

6. For the H.264 compression standard, configure the additional QoS (DSCP) Codepoint, Endura Signing, Profile, and Rate Control settings.

7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the Secondary stream.

8. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.

COMPRESSION STANDARDS

JPEG: A commonly used video compression scheme. JPEG has the least impact on the camera’s processor, but it requires the most bandwidth.

MJPEG: Motion JPEG has the same characteristics as JPEG but differs in its mode of transfer (RTP).

H.264: Also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or Advanced Video Coding (AVC), H.264 is one of the most widely used compression, recording, and

distribution methodologies for High Definition (HD) video. It is used in Blu-ray™ video players and by companies that transmit HD video or movies
over the internet and by satellite. H.264 is the most processor-intensive compression standard, but it requires the least amount of bandwidth.

RESOLUTION AND RECOMMENDED BIT AND IMAGE RATES

Refer to the following table for the resolution capabilities, recommended bit rates, and maximum image rates of your camera model.

IMAGE RATE

The image rate is the number of images per second (ips) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates depend upon the
model of the device that you are using.

NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the compression standard and the resolution of the stream.

C2270M (7/13) 27

BIT RATE

The bit rate is the quality of the video stream (rendered in kilobits per second). The higher the value, the higher the video quality and bandwidth
required.

NOTE: When you change any of the video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the bit rate. If you manually reduce
the bit rate lower than the camera's automatic setting, the image quality might be reduced and the stream selection options might be limited.

I-FRAME INTERVAL

The I-frame interval configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames in the video stream. For example, in a scene where a
door opens and a person walks through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored by the video encoder. The stationary
background that occurs in the previous partial frames is not encoded, because no changes occurred in that part of the scene. The stationary
background is only encoded in the full frames. Partial frames improve video compression rates by reducing the size of the video. As the I-frame
interval increases, the number of partial frames increases between full frames. Higher values are recommended only on networks with high
reliability. This setting is available only with H.264.

QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES CODE POINT

Quality of Service (QoS) for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a code that allows the network to prioritize the transmission of different
types of data. This setting is available only with H.264.

NOTES:

• If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.

• Your network must be configured to use QoS. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware, contact your network administrator.

ENDURA SIGNING

Enabling the Endura Signing feature allows an Endura® system to authenticate video from an Endura recorded stream. This setting is available
only with H.264.

PROFILE

The profile defines the subset of bit stream features in an H.264 stream, which includes color reproduction and additional video compression. It
is important to select the highest profile that is compatible with the recording device so that you receive the best compression that your decoder
can process.

Baseline: A simple profile with a low compression ratio. A baseline profile is compatible with more recorders but uses more bits to compress
quality video than the other profiles. This profile supports I-frames and P-frames. Use the baseline profile in applications with limited scene
changes; for example, an indoor scene with a single, unchanging primary light source and minimal motion.

Main: An intermediate profile with a medium compression ratio. The default setting is main. This profile is compatible with most recorders and
uses fewer bits to compress video than the baseline profile; however, it uses more bits than the high profile. The main profile supports I-frames
and P-frames.

High: A complex profile with a high compression ratio. This is the primary profile for high-definition television applications; for example this is
the profile adopted for Blu-ray and HD-DVD. The high profile supports I-frames and P-frames.

RATE CONTROL

The rate control setting determines the bit rate and quality of each frame in the H.264 video stream. Each rate control setting is a compromise
between image quality and the resources required for video storage.

CBR: The constant bit rate (CBR) streams video at a fixed number of bits per second. CBR uses the full capacity of the bit rate setting for scenes
with or without motion. Video is always streamed at the user bit rate setting.

VBR: The variable bit rate (VBR) reduces or increases bit rates in response to motion while maintaining high-quality video. VBR uses variable
capacity of the bit rate setting for scenes according to a user-defined target bit rate.

CVBR: The constrained variable bit rate (CVBR) provides high-quality video and long recording time of variable bit rate while limiting variations
in recording capacity consumption.

Events Tab

Use the Events tab to configure camera events and analytics.

Events are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the device how to react when an event occurs. Event handlers are the actions that
the device takes when an event occurs. For example, a system source can be configured to send email to an operator if the system shuts-down
and restarts.

Sources Settings

The sources settings page defines the camera functions that are automatically triggered by an event source. The camera supports Alarm,
Analytics, System, and Timer sources. The Alarm source is the camera input for an external signaling device, such as a door contact or motion
detector. The Analytics source triggers when any configured behavior is detected. The System source is activated when the camera restarts. The
Timer source is a user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time.

Handlers Settings

The handlers settings page defines the actions that a camera takes when an event occurs. The camera supports Send Email, Write JPEG to
SD Card, Upload JPEG to FTP Server, and Open/Close Relay handlers. The Send Email handler sends an email to a defined email address when an
event is activated. The Write JPEG to SD Card handler saves a JPEG of the activated event to an SD card. The Upload JPEG to FTP Server handler
saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server. The Open/Close Relay handler sends a signal to an external device when an alarm or
relay is triggered.

NOTE: The Pelco Alarm accessory must be connected to the camera’s accessory port for Open/Close Relay to work.

Analytic Configuration Settings

The analytic configuration settings page includes behaviors for which you can create custom profiles that contain different camera settings. With
these profiles, you can set up different scenarios for the behavior that automatically detects and triggers alarms when the specific activity is
detected.

Pelco analytics can be configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The device is preloaded with user-configurable behaviors and is
capable of running several behaviors at the same time. The number of behaviors is limited to the available processing power of the device.
Available processing power is determined by the settings for compression standards, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and analytic configuration.

Pelco analytics are also compatible with Endura® or a third-party system that supports alarms using Pelco’s API. Refer to the specific product
documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco analytics.

NOTE: Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API.

Pelco analytics include the following behaviors:

Adaptive Motion: Detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined zone. The
objects are monitored until they exit the scene.

Camera Sabotage: Detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed with spray paint, a cloth, or
covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.

C2270M (7/13) 33

SOURCES

An event is a preconfigured camera function that is activated automatically by an event source. The camera supports the following types of event

ANALYTIC CONFIGURATION

To configure an analytic behavior using a standard Web browser, you must create a profile, select the behavior for the profile, and then create the
zones to be monitored by the behavior.

NOTES:

• This section explains how to configure and enable Pelco analytics using a Web browser.

• Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API.

PROFILES

A profile defines the scene attributes of a behavior including scene type, background movement, and noise sensitivity. When configured properly,
a profile accurately detects behavior violations and decreases the number of triggered false alarms.

Profile Settings

For each behavior, you can create several custom profiles that contain different settings. These settings include:

Name: Assigns a descriptive name to the profile to make it easier to recognize and locate. Consider naming profiles based on their function.

Scene type: Sets the scene type of the profile. Available settings include Indoor and Outdoor.

Background: Defines the background movement of the scene. Available settings include Still or Noisy. If the background is stable, with few

moving objects, set the background to Still. If the background is busy, with many moving objects, select Noisy.

Fine tuning: Defines the zone violation sensitivity. Available settings include Conservative, Normal, or Aggressive. Conservative is the least
sensitive setting and reduces the amount of triggered false alarms, but it could miss some zone violations. Aggressive is the most sensitive
setting and detects all suspect objects, but it could trigger more false alarms. Normal falls between conservative and aggressive sensitivity and
provides moderate results.

Sensitivity: Defines the minimum motion an object can move before a behavior is activated. Settings range from 1 (low) to 10 (high). The
selected setting identifies any movement lower than the defined setting as noise, and ignores it. The higher the setting, the greater the chance
for a false alarm. A lower setting reduces the chance for a false alarm, but it could result in missed violations.

Creating a New Profile

1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.

2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the New button located in the Select Profile section.

4. Type a descriptive name for the profile in the Name box located in the Profile Settings section.

NOTE: Consider naming profiles based on their function. A more descriptive name makes it easier to recognize and locate a profile.

5. Select the Camera preset, Scene type, Background, Fine tuning, and Sensitivity settings from the drop-down menus located in the Profile
Settings section.

6. Click the Calibrate Scene button to calibrate the scene.

NOTE: Set the perspective settings to reflect the camera’s angle. This information makes the object sizes you set on the next tab more
meaningful and helps reduce the number of false alarms.

7. Select the behavior for the profile from the Select Behaviors section.

8. Configure the settings for the behavior.

9. Click the Save button to save the profile. The new profile name appears in the Select Profile section. Or click the Reset button to clear all of
the information you entered without saving it.

BEHAVIORS

Behaviors analyze objects within the camera’s field of view and are configured to detect and trigger alarms automatically when specific activity
is detected.

Examples of behaviors include Camera Sabotage, which detects contrast changes in the field of view and triggers an alarm if the lens is
obstructed or if the camera is repositioned, and Adaptive Motion, which detects and tracks objects that enter a user-defined zone.

1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.

2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.

3. Select a profile from the Select Profile section.

4. Select the behavior for the profile from the Select Behaviors section.

5. Check the Activate Behavior box located in the “Settings for [behavior name]” section.

If the camera has enough resources, the behavior activates and a check mark appears to the left of the selected behavior(s), which is
located in the Select Behaviors section.

If the camera does not have enough resources, the following message and instructions appear: “The camera does not have enough
processing power to activate this behavior. To free up needed resources, turn off one of the other behaviors or reconfigure the video
streams.”

6. Set up the zones for the behavior.

7. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.

C2270M (7/13) 41

ZONES

A zone is a defined boundary or area that is monitored by a configured behavior. A zone can be defined by a box, polygon, or line. If a box or
polygon is drawn to define the zone, any motion in the defined direction triggers an alarm. For example, if a line is drawn to define the zone, any
motion that crosses the line in the defined direction triggers an alarm. Objects within a zone can also be excluded and sized.

Draw Zone Tools

NOTE: The available zone drawing tools depend on the configured analytic behavior.

Box: Tracks objects in a defined zone and triggers an alarm if the objects move in the same direction as defined.

Polygon: Tracks objects in a defined zone and triggers an alarm if the objects move in the same direction as defined.

Line: Tracks objects that cross a line and triggers an alarm if the objects move in the same direction as defined.

Exclude Zone Box Tool: Ignores objects inside a defined zone.

Exclude Zone Polygon Tool: Ignores objects inside a defined zone.

Object Size Filter: Sets the minimum and maximum object size for a zone.

ADAPTIVE MOTION

The Adaptive Motion behavior detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined
zone. The objects are monitored until they exit the scene.

The Adaptive Motion behavior is designed to work indoors and outdoors to track a few moving objects in uncrowded fields of view. The behavior
learns the background scene over time and adjusts to changing conditions like snow, fog, wind, and rain.

Analytics events, including Adaptive Motion, are displayed on the live video page when viewing the Event stream. You must configure both an
analytics event source and the appropriate event handlers in order to receive notifications when an Adaptive Motion alarm is triggered.

Scene Setup for Adaptive Motion

Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity.

The ideal scene for Adaptive Motion behavior is one with light traffic and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is
unavoidable, place the user-defined zone in a relatively stable area.

Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in one place for long periods of time.

NOTE: Objects that are very small might not be classified as the correct object type. This could result in false alarms or alarms not being
triggered. If objects appear too small in the scene, move the camera closer to the zone of interest to increase the relative size of the objects in
the scene.

Selecting Adaptive Motion Settings

1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.

2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the profile that you want to use from the Select Profile list.

4. Select Adaptive Motion from the Select Behaviors list.

5. Click the Activate Behavior check box to enable Adaptive Motion for the selected profile.

6. Use the zone draw tools to draw one or more zones of interest in the video pane.

7. After you have defined the desired zones, adjust the following zone settings:

Name: Assigns a descriptive name to make the zone easier to distinguish when viewing detection messages.

Direction: Detects and tracks moving objects and people that move in a specified direction within the defined zone.

Enable alarm: Turns on the zone alarm, which displays a log of analytics events in the Event stream on the live video page. Alarms can

also trigger an event handler if sources and handlers are configured for analytics.

Alarm severity: Defines the severity of an alarm to allow the prioritization of alarms.

Dwell time: Defines the amount of time that an alarm remains activated after the alarm-triggering object exits the zone.

8. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.

CAMERA SABOTAGE

The Camera Sabotage behavior detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed by spray paint, a
cloth, or if it is covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.

Scene Setup for Camera Sabotage

Install the camera in a high position, looking down on the scene. The field of view should be as large as possible. A small field of view could
result in the view being blocked by an adjacent object.

Avoid scenes with a dark, uniform background; low lighting; and large moving objects.

Selecting Camera Sabotage Settings

1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.

2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the profile that you want to use from the Select Profile list.

4. Select Camera Sabotage from the Select Behaviors list.

5. Click the Activate Behavior check box to enable Camera Sabotage for the selected profile.

6. Adjust the following zone settings:

Delay before alarm: Defines the delay between the time a violation is detected and the actual trigger of an alarm. If the violation does
not continue past the delay period, an alarm does not trigger. If the violation lasts longer than the delay period, an alarm triggers. The
default setting is 3 seconds.

Alarm severity: Defines the severity of an alarm to allow the prioritization of alarms.

7. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
