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

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

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.

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Accessing the Camera

Note: For security purposes, it is required that you create a user account when you access the

camera for the first time. In its out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and password assigned. In this state the camera does not allow for video to stream or configurations to change. It is required that you set an administrative user name and password at this time. Creation of an administrative user changes the state of the camera to its “operational mode,” where credentials must be provided in order to view live video or change its configuration. This first user configuration can also be done in VxToolbox software.

There is no provision for recovering a forgotten administrator user name or password. The camera can be restored to its out-of-the-box, no user name and password configuration by powering down, depressing the Factory Defaults button, and holding the button down for at least four seconds while powering the camera back up.

Once the camera is powered back up the user will be prompted to create a username and password.

The recommended browsers for your camera are Mozilla® Firefox®, Google Chrome™, or Microsoft™Edge™ for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems; and Firefox for Mac® operating systems. For supported browser versions, refer to the Specification Sheet for your product.

1. Open a web browser.

2. Type the camera’s IP address or host name in your browser’s address bar and then click Enter.

Note:

You can obtain your camera’s IP address or access the camera using VXToolbox

software.

3. If a user name and password exist, a log in dialog box appears. Otherwise a user creation dialog box appears, and the user will be required to create an administrative user to proceed.

Accessing Camera Settings

Access to camera settings is determined by user permissions. If you do not have access to camera settings, the Settings option will not appear in the top-center of the Live View window.

1. Click the gear symbol at the top center of the viewing window.

2. Click the setting you want to change. Place your mouse pointer over any menu on the page to reveal submenus.

Understanding the Camera Configuration Sequence

After the camera is installed and power is applied, the camera undergoes a configuration sequence, taking approximately 30-seconds to complete. The camera will come online after the configuration sequence is complete.

Note: If the camera connected to a network without a DHCP server and DHCP is enabled, the configuration sequence can take up to two minutes to complete.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Accessing the Live Video Page

The live video page provides access to video streams, an initial Focus Calibration Process, and, where applicable, to PTZ controls.

By default, the camera does not have any pre-configured users. When a user is added to the system, that user must login before accessing the Live View. After logging in, the user will have access to the Live View from that point forward.

Selecting Live View Controls

Viewable controls are based on device model and user permissions. Use the drop-down menu to select the

Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary streams from the live view. The JPEG stream is a predefined low

resolution, low frame rate JPEG stream. JPEG is helpful for users with bandwidth or processing limitations that could cause a high resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or pixelate.

Caution:Streams must be configured to use the H264 compression standard. Streams with any other compression standard will not be available for selection. If the secondary or tertiary stream has not been configured, they will not be available for selection. Video streams can be configured under the A/V Streams Menu. Only H264 streams are supported for full-resolution streaming. If the user selects H265 or MJEG as their encoding, the stream is also not available on the Live View.

Understanding the Focus Calibration Process

To achieve superior focus functionality, Spectra Enhanced Series 7 cameras now implement a focus database which caches focus values that the camera calculates at different pan and tilt and zoom positions. With valid focus values, the camera can more quickly achieve focus the next time the camera returns near to that area and to that zoom. The camera will always be learning and updating the focus database, so the more the camera is used, the faster it's overall focus ability will be.

To initially seed the focus database, there is a calibration process that takes about one hour and will pan and tilt through the visible space at mid zoom level. These values provide a starting point for the focus algorithm for calculating focus at different zoom levels. Eventually, the focus database will store valid focus values through the visible space at multiple zoom levels, providing superior focus functionality.

For a camera that has not been calibrated, there is a suggestion on the live video page that will prompt you to consider calibrating the camera. The prompt enables you to go to the Focus page in the Imaging Tab. If the camera has been fully calibrated, the live video page looks like it did before.

On the Focus page, you can start or stop the calibration, and there is a progress bar. If you stop the calibration process for any reason, you can resume it from where it left off (even if there was a reboot or "soft" restore factory defaults in between). The only ways to clear the current calibration data and start over are to select the Clear Calibration Data button or complete a "hard" restore factory defaults.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Action Impact on Focus Calibration Database

Reboot Calibration is not impacted. Calibration can resume where it left off if it had been stopped, and

the focus database is not touched.

Soft Restore Factory

The focus database is not impacted, but the percent complete could change if there were some times in the calibration process where it couldn't focus. The camera would presume that calibration would need to resume from the first place it finds an invalid focus value.

Defaults

Hard

Removes the focus database. Restore Factory Defaults

Using the Network & Security Menu

The Network & Security menu provides access for configuring Network settings, Users & Security, TLS,

Traffic Shaping, 802.1x, SNMP, and Firewall. You have the option of changing ports and adding firewall

rules. By default, your device receives an address over DHCP, and all other network features are disabled.

Understanding General Network Settings

Network Hostname

You can configure a hostname for your camera containing up to 63 alphanumeric characters. At least one character in the host name must be a letter.

Port Settings

Port settings determine the ports over which users communicate with the camera.

HTTP: Do not change the HTTP when connecting to a Pelco video management system (VMS); doing so might prevent you from viewing or recording video from your imaging camera. The default HTTP port is 80.

Note: Do not change the HTTP port when connecting to a legacy Pelco video management system, as this may prevent you from viewing or recording video from your imaging device.

HTTPS: Set TLS to Optional or Required and install a security certificate before altering the HTTPS port. The default HTTPS port is 443.

RTSP: Cameras communicate with video management systems over RTSP. Do not change the RTSP port. The default RTSP port is 554.

Network Interface

Link Settings

Set Network Link speeds by selecting either 1000Mb or 100Mb. Click the Auto Negotiation Box to to have the camera set the link speed based on the network port settings if also supported by the switch.

IPv4 Settings

By default, cameras are configured to obtain network settings over DHCP. If a DHCP server is not available, the camera defaults to an address of 192.168.0.20 on a 255.255.255 subnet. If 192.168.0.20 is already in use on the network, the camera will increment the address by one until it finds an unused address (for example,192.168.0.21 if 192.168.0.20 is in use).

Set DHCP to Off to configure a static address and manually set the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS Server settings.

IPv6 Settings

(Optional): Your camera supports IPv6 configurations in conjunction with IPv4; the device does not support IPv6-only network deployments. The camera will accept up to sixteen IPv6 addresses, three IPv6 DNS servers, and three IPv6 gateways.

There are two configuration modes for IPv6 address assignment:

l Auto: Enables automatic configuration using router advertisement. Additional configuration can be

provided over DHCPv6 (if available on your network). Selecting Auto still allows you to manually configure additional address, DNS servers, and gateways.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

l Manual Only: Provides a link-local address for the device, and it requires you to manually configure

all other IPv6 address settings for the camera. Manually specified addresses require a prefix and must be input in the format prefix/IPv6Address. The camera will reject addresses that do not contain prefix information.

Notes:

– Cameras do not accept multicast, localhost, or undefined IPv6 addresses.

– Manually specified DNS servers are not validated by the camera and supersede

automatically discovered DNS servers; verify your DNS addresses before saving IPv6 settings.

– Manually specified gateways must be on the same network as the camera’s IPv6 addresses.

Behavior for a gateway that is not on the same network as the camera’s IPv6 addresses is undefined.

– Some video management systems (VMS), including some Pelco systems, do not support

connections to cameras and encoders over IPv6.

Network & Security, and then click Users & Security. This gives you the options for User Management

and Security authentication.

Managing Users and Security

Initially, the camera authentication is closed for viewing and configuring without a user name and password. No user accounts exist in the default factory state. Once the Admin role is created and Local Mode User Management is enabled, your camera will authenticate local user accounts.

If you are a user with Admin permissions, you can configure, edit, and delete local user accounts at any time. When authenticating users locally, you will assign a role to each individual user. User permissions are governed by the role assigned to them. When authenticating users remotely, users will be assigned roles based on their CN and DN assignments.

Your camera supports the following four roles:

l Admins: Can access and change all camera settings. They can use all functionality of the camera.

They can configure, edit, and delete local user accounts at any time.

l Managers: Can access and change all settings, except user permissions. Managers are also

unable to restore factory default settings.

l Operators: Can view video, use PTZ functions (where available), and use the API.Can view video

and have access to the Live View page controls.

l Viewers: Can view video and use the API.

Configuring Local Users

1. Click Network & Security, and then click Users & Security.

2. Click New User or select the user whose permissions and settings you want to edit.

3. Click to select an Access Level for the user.

4. Provide a user name between 2 and 32 alphanumeric characters for the user. User names are not case-sensitive and are saved in lowercase characters.

5. Provide a password between 4 and 64 alphanumeric characters for the user. Passwords are casesensitive.

6. Re-type your password in the appropriate box to confirm your password.

7. Click Save.

Setting Security/Authentication

Security settings for the Pelco API and RTSP/JPEG include a choice of Open Authentication or Closed/Require Authentication:

l Pelco API: Changes whether credentials are required when accessing the device via the Pelco

API. The Open Authentication setting leaves your camera open to various intrusions and is not recommended.

l RTSP/JPEG: Changes whether credentials are required when streaming video via RTSP or JPEG

pull. The Open Authentication setting leaves your camera open to various intrusions and is not recommended.

A user must be created before the security settings can be changed.

Configuring TLS

TLS Configuration lets you set the TLS mode to either disabled, optional, or required. You must install or generate a certificate before enabling HTTPS.

The TLS settings page includes TLS configuration modes and certificate generation. The camera can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign®), or it can generate a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.

1. Select TLS from the Network menu.

2. If no certificate has been installed, install or generate one now:

a. Select the appropriate certificate installation method: Generate Self-signed Certificate,

Generate Certificate Request, or Upload Certificate.

Upload Certificate should only be used if you have already generated a certificate using Generate Certificate Request.

b. Enter information requested in the Certificate area.

c. Click Generate Certificate or Upload or Cancel.

3. Select your TLS mode:

l Disabled: Disables HTTPS communications with the device.

l Optional: Requires that you install a signed TLS certificate and enables HTTPS access to the

camera; however, the camera will still be available over HTTP.

l Required: Requires that you install a signed TLS certificate and enables HTTPS access to the

device only. There will be no availability to the camera over HTTP.

4. Click Save.

Configuring Traffic Shaping

You can use the traffic shaping function if the frame rate at your client is significantly lower than you would expect from the camera.

Your camera can produce large I-frames, resulting in a traffic burst within each group of pictures as the camera transmits the frame; if your network infrastructure does not have the speed or buffering capacity to smooth out the traffic, you might experience slow or jittery video. From the Traffic Shaping page, you can control the average transmission rate over a 2 ms period and limit traffic bursts coming from the camera to help you prevent frame losses at your client resulting from traffic bursts produced by the camera. Use this function if the frame rate at your client is significantly lower than you would expect from the camera.

Note: Limiting the transmission rate might increase video latency. The setting also limits all of the video data coming from the camera. For this reason, set the limit to more than the video bit rate times the number of connections to the camera that are receiving the data.

1. Click Network & Security, and then click Traffic Shaping.

2. Enable Traffic Shaping with or without bursts, depending on your need.

l Disabled: Camera will send data at full network hardware link speed (for example: 100 Mbps or

1 Gbps).

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

l Enabled: Camera will limit the rate at which it sends data. In this setting, the “averaging period”

(the period over which the rate limit is valid) is 1 ms. The rate limit for this setting is 12.5 Mbps < R < 100 Mbps.

l Enabled with Bursts: This advanced setting allows you to specify the maximum burst size

that the camera can send at the hardware link speed. This balances video latency with the transmission rate.

3. Set the average transmission rate period in Mbps.

4. If you enabled traffic shaping with bursts, set the maximum size of bursts coming from the camera in kilobytes.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Digital Processing

Digital Processing settings adjust the color and detail of captured video. The availability of settings might change based on your camera model.

l Quick Setup: Contains presets for digital processing settings. You can use any of the quick setup

modes as a starting point for custom settings. Changing sharpness, saturation, contrast, or brightness settings automatically engages the Custom mode.

– Normal: A baseline for sharpness, saturation, contrast, and brightness. All the settings are set

to default.

– Vivid: A setting that enhances color quality, lightens whites, and darkens blacks.

– Custom: Allows you to set your own, unique image quality settings.

l Sharpness: Controls the clarity of detail in the scene. Increasing video sharpness increases video

noise.

l Saturation: Controls the intensity of colors in the scene.

l Contrast: Controls the gradation between the darkest and lightest portions of the scene.

l Brightness: Controls the lighting detail of the scene.

Configuring Exposure Settings

Exposure settings help ensure that video contains an adequate level of detail and contrast between light and dark values.

1. Select Exposure from the Imaging menu.

2. Select your camera’s Exposure Mode to be used; Frame Rate, Low Noise, or Manual.

3. Set the Max Exposure Time (msec) that the imaging sensor is exposed to light. Decreasing the maximum exposure time reduces motion blurring; increasing the maximum exposure time could help capture more detailed still images in low light.

4. Set the Max Gain, depending on the exposure mode you selected. Increasing the gain allows for better sensitivity in low-light scenes, but also increases video noise.

Configuring WDR Settings

Wide Dynamic Range attempts to compensate and even the brightness of a scene when a portion of your camera’s picture is bright, and part is dark.

WDR can be turned Off, set to Normal, or set to High. Normal WDR or High WDR is enabled based upon the maximum framerate.

Optional: Click the Change Settings link to navigate to the A/V Streams page where Maximum Frame

Rate and Aspect Ratio settings can be established.

Note: Enabling High WDR is only recommended for scenes needing greater than 120 dB dynamic range. You will see increased noise artifacts in the mid-tones at elevated temperatures.

Enabling and Disabling Image Stabilization

Image Stabilization (Optical or Electronic depending on the model) attempts to compensate for vibrations that interfere with your camera and video output. Enable it by choosing On or disable it by choosing Off.

Note: High WDR and Image Stabilization cannot be used at the same time.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Note:Digital Zoom and Image Stabilization cannot be used at the same time.

Configuring Day/Night Mode

Day/Night Mode: Controls the IR cut filter, determining whether or not your camera captures color (day) or

black and white (night) video. You can set the Day/Night position manually, but it is recommended that you engage the auto mode if lighting around your camera is expected to change drastically at any time.

1. Set your Day/Night Mode.

l Auto: Engages day or night mode based on the Transition Level setting; this allows you to

capture color video (Day) when enough light is available, and automatically switch to black and white video (Night) when light is unavailable.

l Manual/Position: Requires you to choose a Day or Night mode. Day captures color video;

Night captures grayscale video.

2. (Optional) Set your camera’s Transition Level, determining when the camera switches from Day to

Night mode. Lighter settings cause the camera to change modes at higher lux values.

3. (Optional) Set the Transition Detect Time, determining the frequency at which the device checks for adequate light to transition to day mode or night mode.

Configuring IR Illumination

1. Set the IR Illuminator mode to Auto, Manual (only available if you have selected Day/Night Manual

Mode), or Off. If using manual mode, adjust the IR Range (%).

Note

: IR Range is a percentage of the distance to the target, so 100% IR Range is the full tele

setting, 0% is full wide. For maximum power, use 100% IR Range.

Configuring Focus/Zoom Settings

Focus Calibration takes about an hour, and you are encouraged to calibrate your camera when you first access the live video page.

l Start Focus Calibration: Starts the Focus Calibration Process. This process takes about an hour.

l Stop Focus Calibration: Stops the Focus Calibration Process. If you stop the calibration process,

you can resume it where you left off (even if there was a reboot or "soft" restoring factory defaults in between).

l Progress Bar: Shows the percentage of progress made in the calibration process.

l Clear Calibration Data: Allows you to clear the current calibration data and start over if needed.

This clears the focus database. The only other way to clear the database is a "hard" restore factory defaults.

Focus Settings affect your camera’s focusing behaviors. If you set all focus behavior settings to Off, you must manually focus your camera.

l Auto:Automatically back-focuses the camera on the subject in the center of the scene.

l Manual: Locks the camera’s focus at a specified position. Manual focus is recommended only for

indoor applications with a single, unchanging light source or when using analytics.

l Sure Focus: When set to On, causes your camera to auto focus when pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ)

operations are complete or if the IR cut filter changes state. When your camera achieves an auto focus lock, auto focus is turned off and the focal position will remain until the next PTZ operation. If

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

30 seconds pass without an auto focus lock, your camera will retain its focal position until the next PTZ action.

l Laser Focus (only on supported models):

l Off: Laser Focus is off and standard Autofocus is enabled.

l Auto: Utilizes the built in laser to determine the object distance at the center of the image, and

uses this as a reference point to start performing a quick Auto focus scan to find optimal focus.

l Priority: Uses the built in laser to determine the object distance at the center of the image, and

sets a typical or expected focus position relative to this distance.

l Min Focus Distance (m): Default setting of 10m (meters) improves low light auto focus. Change

the Min Focus Distance (m) to an expected minimum distance that the camera will need to focus on.

l Setting Zoom: Use the slider bar to adjust the zoom magnification.

Setting White Balance

Each Sensor has its own white balance settings. Auto mode is the default setting for each sensor. Selecting Manual mode allows you to adjust white balance settings for the sensor.

1. Click Imaging, and then click White Balance.

2. Select a white balance mode:

l Auto: The recommended setting for most lighting conditions. It has a color temperature range

from 7,500K to 2,500K. It can be used to properly white balance scenes illuminated by daylight to warm white sources.

l Auto Tracking White (ATW): Has the largest color temperature range.

l Cool White: A fixed white balance mode for cooler (more blue) sources such as true daylight,

daylight fluorescent, white light LEDs, or metal halide sources.

l Warm White: A fixed white balance mode for warmer (more yellow) sources such as

incandescent, tungsten-halogen, warm white compact florescent, or LED lighting.

l Manual: Allows manual adjustment of the red and blue range; this may be helpful in areas

where lighting does not change, such as inside a casino or mall. Move the Red and Blue sliders to change color levels.

Using Window Blanking

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 eight blanked windows as long as the total blanked area does not exceed 50 percent of the field of view.

values result in higher quality video with less flicker but consume more bandwidth.

l Aspect Ratio: The ratio of height to width of the video frame.

2. Configure the following video stream settings:

l Stream Name: This setting is typically Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, however you can enter

any stream name of your choosing.

l Enable: This setting provides the ability to turn any stream ON or OFF. Select Enable from the

drop down menu to turn the stream on or Disable to turn it off.

l Compression Standards: Available compression standards include MJPEG, H.264, and H.265.

– H264: Compression standard used in high-definition video players such as Blu-ray™ and

HD-DVD. H.264 is the most processor-intensive compression.

– H.265: An improvement of H.264 that provides better compression efficiency while

improving image quality and lowering processor workload.

– MJPEG: Provides the least impact on the camera's processor, but it requires the most

bandwidth.

l Resolution: The quality of the video stream, rendered in pixels for both width and height. Higher

values result in greater video quality but consume more bandwidth.

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

l Image Rate: The number of frames per second (fps) available for the video stream

configuration. Available image rates depend upon the model of the device that you are using.

l Bit Rate: The quality of the video stream, rendered in kilobits per second. Higher values result

in greater video quality but consume more bandwidth.

l I-Frame Interval: Determines the number of partial frames that occur between intra-coded

frames (I-frames) in your video stream. I-frames are complete images, used as a reference for change. Following an I-frame, the camera will capture and encode only video data in the scene differing from the I-frame until the next I-frame.

Note

: The I-Frame Interval setting is only available for H.264 and H.265 video streams. Increasing the I-frame interval can improve video compression rates and reduce the size of video data; however, higher values are recommended only for highly-reliable networks.

l Profile: Defines the subset of bit stream features in an H.264 or H.265 stream, which includes

color reproduction and additional video compression. It is important to select a profile that is compatible with your recording device(s) in order to ensure that your camera’s video stream can be decoded and viewed.

l Main: An intermediate profile with a moderate compression ratio. This profile is compatible with

most recorders and uses fewer bits to compress video than the baseline profile. The main profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.

l High: A complex profile with a high compression ratio. This is the primary profile for high-

definition television applications. The high profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.

l QoS (DSCP) Codepoint: A mechanism for prioritizing network traffic. This setting is available

with H.264 and H.265 compression standards. Your network must be QoS-aware to take advantage of this setting.

l Endura Signing: Endura signing is a technology designed to prevent the tampering of video and

ensure video authenticity for use in legal proceedings. Only exported video is validated in the Pelco export player when the user clicks on the "Authenticate" button. Live View is not validated. This setting is available only with H.264 and MJPEG compression standards.

l Rate Control: Determines the bit rate and quality of each frame in the H.264 or H.265 video

stream. Rate control settings are a compromise between image quality and the resources required for video storage. The availability of rate control settings depends upon the model of the camera that you are using.

l 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.

l 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.

Note

: When you change video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the bit rate. Choosing a bit rate below the camera’s automatic setting might reduce video quality and limit stream configuration options.

Configuring Audio

You can only enable audio through the primary video stream.

Audio is disabled by default, but you can enable and configure audio streams from the Audio Configuration page.

Audio and video might not be synchronized when viewing the primary stream through a Web browser. You might experience up to a 3-second delay in video when viewing the primary stream with audio enabled.

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Note: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal

penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may 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 personality.

1. Click A/V Streams, and then click Audio Configuration.

2. Enable Audio.

3. Click to select your sample rate. The sample rate is the quality of the audio stream (measured in hertz per second).

4. Click to select the encoding method (PCMU, PCMA, or PCM16 Encoding).

5. Set the Input Level. Input sensitivity is measured on a scale from 0 to 100 (low to high).

Note: If the camera is installed in a noisy environment or the connected microphone has a built-in line amplifier, you should lower audio sensitivity.

6. Click Save.

Enabling Echo Mitigation

Echo mitigation is used to prevent echo sounds when using Audio In and Audio Out at the same time when the input and output are in close proximity to one another.

1. Adjust the delay time between the audio input and output as necessary.

2. Adjust the Detect Volume Level slider to reduce or increase the sound level that is picked up from the line input (e.g. microphone).

Managing RTP Settings

The RTP Settings page provides access to advanced multicast and MTU (TCP/IP) settings.

Setting Static Multicast Addresses

A multicast stream sends video data to multiple users from the same transmission. Each multicast user connecting to the camera consumes no additional processing power.

You can set static multicast addresses and ports for all of your camera’s multicast streams (primary, secondary, tertiary, audio).

Default, automatically-assigned multicast addresses are confined to the 239.x.x.x block in a scheme matching your IP address and network settings; you can determine the automatically-assigned multicast address(es) for your camera from the RTP page.

1. Click A/V Streams, and then click RTP Settings.

2. Enter static multicast addresses and ports for your streams as necessary.

3. Set the Time to Live (TTL) for each stream; this is the number of routers the stream can pass through before it expires.

4. Determine whether or not to Always Multicast this stream. This setting eliminates the need for a client to connect to the camera to initiate a stream; when enabled, the camera begins sending the multicast stream when it starts up, without requiring initiation from a client.

5. Click Save.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Setting the Maximum Transfer Unit Size (TCP/IP)

You can adjust the maximum transfer unit size to adjust to your network’s constraints. Changing the MTU setting will require your camera to restart. This could take several minutes.

1. Set the Max Transfer Unit size.

2. Click Save or Save and Reboot Camera, depending on your camera.

Configuring Smart Compression

Pelco Smart Compression Technology lowers bandwidth and storage requirements while retaining image quality and critical information for forensic purposes. Benefits include reduced storage capacity requirements and high resolution.

To work correctly, gathering bitrate statistics requires the date and time to be set correctly. If you have not set your time zone, you will receive an “Inaccurate Date and Time” message. Date and time can be set in General Settings.

Prior to establishing settings for Pelco Smart Compression, use A/V Streams to configure the video and audio streams for the camera.

1. Click Settings, and then click Short-Term Graph.

2. Click to select the Smart Compression Level.

The Smart Compression level allows you additional control to balance video quality versus bit rate. The smart compression settings determine how aggressively the camera will drop the bit rate on easily compressed scenes and how aggressively it will adjust image processing settings to make the scene more compressible. If the scene is difficult to compress (high motion, high noise), the camera will use the full bit rate allowed by the stream bit rate settings. The “off” and “low” settings will have a similar, minor effect on the image; the “medium” and “high” settings will have correspondingly more effect on the image and greater savings on storage.

l Off—no bitrate reduction

l Low—no visible effect on video quality in most scenes

l Medium—visible effect on video quality in some scenes

l High—video degraded in many scenes

3. (Optional) Enable Dynamic GoP Length. If you want to place an upper limit on the Dynamic GoP length, set the Optimal Maximum GoP Length for each stream.

Note

: The option to establish the Dynamic GoP Length is enabled when compression levels

are set to Low, Medium, or High.

4. (Optional) Set the maximum GoP length for your streams if you want to impose an upper limit on the dynamic GoP setting. By enabling a dynamic Group of Pictures (GoP), the number of I-frames are automatically reduced in scenes with minimal motion. Based on the complexity of scenes and the amount of motion occurring, such as in a storage room that has limited activity, up to 70% bandwidth savings can be achieved.

Dynamic GOP allows the camera to update picture groups depending on scene composition and motion. A dynamic GoP can further reduce bit rates produced by the camera by allowing the camera to increase the GOP length when there is little action in the scene.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

For each video stream, you can enable Dynamic GoP Length as well as establish an Optional Maximum GoP Length. GoP length will change dynamically based on variable conditions that your camera might be monitoring.

Note: Dynamic or long GoP lengths may cause compatibility issues with some video management systems (VMS). Ensure your VMS supports dynamic GoP settings before enabling this setting.

Configuring Long-Term Rate Control

Set Long-Term Rate Control if you must ensure storage does not exceed a specific size.

Using the Events Menu

The Events menu contains settings for camera events and analytics, and includes Source, Handlers, Analytic Configuration, and Event Stream pages.

An event is a user-defined occurrence, consisting of a source and a handler. A source defines the trigger for an event; a handler defines the action your camera will take when the event source occurs. When configuring a source, you can link the source to multiple handlers, providing multiple outcomes for the event. When configuring a Handler, you can link the handler to multiple sources, providing a single outcome for multiple events.

Analytics are specialized event sources that are triggered by the user-defined behaviors or scenarios occurring within your camera’s field of view. Analytics are compatible with VideoXpert™ or third-party systems that support events using ONVIF or Pelco’s API. The analytic behaviors available for your camera are dependent on your model and firmware version.

Analytic Configuration

The Analytic Configuration page allows you to analyze the camera’s field of view to detect and trigger events or alarms when specific activity occurs.

Multiple analytic behaviors can be configured. However the complexity of active behaviors and zones per behavior may increase the processing load on your camera. Once configured, your camera will monitor your defined zones for activity violating the parameters of the behavior. You can view analytic events through your camera’s event stream. However, analytic alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API, and are therefore only available with compatible VMS systems or through direct integration.

You can configure multiple analytic behaviors. Each analytic behavior has its own settings, and many analytic behaviors also require you to configure zones that the camera will monitor for activity. The analytic behaviors available to your camera are dependent on your model and firmware version.

Configuring Basic Analytics

The Basic menu contains Motion Detection, Edit Mask, and Sabotage Detection functions.

Configuring Motion Detection

Note: Motion Detection requires a mask to be drawn to indicate where the camera should look for

motion. Use the Edit Mask controls to setup the mask.

Configuring the Scene Settings

Depending on the chosen Select Behavior, one or more of the following Scene Settings will be available.

Scene Settings is only available if you have configured a preset. Clicking the Manage Presets link will direct you to the Presets PTZ tab where you can create or edit camera presets.

To configure the scene settings:

1. Click to select a Camera preset.

2. Click to select a Scene Type of indoor or outdoor.

3. Choose a Still or Noisy background based on the expected amount of background movement in the scene. A stable background with few moving objects should be set to Still. A busy background, with many moving objects should be set to Noisy.

4. Use the Fine tuning option to define zone violation sensitivity. Available settings include

Conservative, Normal, or Aggressive. The Conservative setting is the least sensitive setting,

reducing the number of false alarms, but might prevent the camera from detecting zone violations. The Aggressive setting is the most sensitive setting, detecting all suspect violations, but might cause the camera to trigger more false alarms.

5. Establish the Sensitivity or relative amount of motion, between 1 (low) and 10 (high), that will trigger a behavior. The higher the setting, the greater the chance for false alarms; lower settings will reduce the chance of false alarms but might result in missed violations.

6. Consistency helps trigger a behavior when an object moves into the frame from a consistent direction. The sensitivity detection can be set from 0 (low) to 10 (high).

7. The Calibration function will show as Not Completed or Completed. If calibration is Not Completed, click Calibrate Scene. This will open a separate Calibrate Scene page.

8. Click Set height. This will bring up a blue square. Place the blue square over an object at a distance and set the Real-world height of the object in either feet or meters.

9. Click Set width. Two yellow lines appear. Measure the width of a far object using the line denoted by “Width of a far object” and the width of a near object using the line denoted by “Width of near object”.

10. Click Return to Main.

The Calibration shows as Completed.

Applying Select Behaviors

Select Behaviors define the attributes of a scene within the field of view of your camera and provide context for analytic behaviors. Select Behaviors include Abandoned Object, Adaptive Motion, AutoTracker,

Directional Motion, Loitering Detection, Object Counting, Object Removal, and Stopped Vehicle.

Each analytic behavior contains settings determining the conditions under which events are triggered. The settings available are dependent on the analytic behavior that you are configuring.

l Activate Behavior:Activates the chosen select behavior.

l Enable advanced options:Advanced options are only available for certain Select Behaviors.

The Advanced options include:

l Sensitivity: Overrides the global Profile sensitivity setting for the selected behavior, defining the

relative amount of motion, between 1 (low) and 10 (high) that will trigger an event or alarm. Sensitivity is an advanced option for some behaviors.

l Object speed: Adjusts for speed if the scene is configured to track moving objects at a slower or

faster rate than actual speed.

Using Zone Settings

You can establish the conditions under the Zone Settings section to determine which events are triggered for a Select Behavior. The availability of settings depends on the chosen Select Behavior.

Note: AutoTracker has its own behavior-specific settings as described in the Using AutoTracker

Zone Settings section.

l Name: Type a name of your choosing for the selected Zone.

l Enable Alarm: Enables a zone alarm. Analytic events for the zone will appear in the event stream

when viewing Live View and will trigger Event Handlers if the Analytic Event source is enabled.

l Alarm Severity: Sets the alarm priority as Minor, Normal, Major, or Critical.

l Dwell time: Defines the amount of time that an alarm will remain active when an alarm-triggering

object exits the field of view or the zone. Dwell time can be set between 10 to 300 seconds.

l Object Counting: Determines the number of objects entering into a zone that will trigger an alarm.

l Delay before alarm: Defines the amount of time an object must remain in a zone before triggering an

alarm.

relative amount of motion, between 1 (low) and 10 (high) that will trigger an event or alarm. Sensitivity is an advanced option for some behaviors.

l Object Speed: Adjusts for speed if the scene is configured to track moving objects at a slower or

faster rate than actual speed. Object Speed defines the relative speed, between 1 (low) and 10 (high), that will trigger an event or alarm.

l Zone Sensitivity: Defines the relative amount of motion within the selected zone that will trigger an

event or alarm. Zone sensitivity can be set at a lower or higher setting than the overall sensitivity setting for the rest of the scene or the Profile sensitivity setting for the selected behavior.

l Edit Mask: Specifies which areas within the camera view to ignore so that alerts are triggered only if

there is motion in the unmasked part of the video feed.

Using AutoTracker Behavior-Specific Settings

l Name: Type a name of your choosing for the selected Zone.

l Sensitivity: Overrides the global Profile sensitivity setting for the selected behavior, defining the

relative amount of motion, between 1 (low) and 10 (high) that will trigger an event or alarm. Auto sets the sensitivity level from 1 to 10 automatically according to the amount of motion detected in a scene. Select Manual to set a user-defined sensitivity level from 1 to 10.

l Dwell time: Defines the amount of time that an alarm will remain active when an alarm-triggering

object exits the field of view or the zone. Dwell time can be set between 10 to 300 seconds.

l Follow Options: Determines whether an object is tracked only within the current field of view or

beyond. Choose Unlimited to continue to follow an object even when it moves beyond the present field of view. Choose Limit to current view to follow the object only while it is within the present field of view.

l Camera Placement: Defines the vertical height of the camera’s location relative to the area being

monitored.

l Average Height: Defines the average height of objects to track.

Using Drawing Tools

When configuring a zone-based analytic behavior, you can draw zones by clicking one of the zone-drawing tools and then clicking within the scene to draw the zone. The availability of zone drawing tools is dependent on the analytic behavior you are configuring. Drawing tools include:

l Rectangle Tracks objects in a defined rectangular zone and triggers an alarm if the objects move in

the same direction as defined.

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

direction as defined.

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

as defined.

l Rectangular Excluded Zone: Ignores objects inside a defined rectangular zone.

l Polygon Excluded Zone: Ignores objects inside a defined zone.

when your camera detects motion in the specified direction.

l Enable Alarm: Enables a zone alarm. Analytic events for the zone will appear in the event stream

when viewing live video, and trigger event handlers if the Analytic Event source is enabled.

l Alarm severity: Defines the severity of alarms triggered. Alarm severity helps you and other users

prioritize alarms.

l Alarm at: Determines the number of objects entered into a zone that will trigger an alarm.

l Zone Sensitivity: Defines the relative amount of motion within the selected zone that will trigger an

event or alarm. Zone sensitivity can be set at a lower or higher setting than the overall sensitivity setting for the rest of the scene or the Profile sensitivity setting for the selected behavior.

l Delay before alarm: Defines the amount of time an object must remain in a zone before triggering an

alarm.

Using Select Behaviors—Ideal Situations

The following sections describes the function of each Select Behavior and the ideal situation in which to use it.

Using Abandoned Object

The Abandoned Object behavior detects objects placed within a defined zone and triggers an alarm if objects remain in the zone longer than the user-defined time allows.

Ideal Scene Setup for Abandoned Object: An airport terminal is a typical installation for the Abandoned Object behavior. This behavior can also detect objects left behind at an ATM, signaling possible card skimming.

Using 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.

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

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.

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 zones in a relatively stable area.

Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in 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, zoom in on the particular zone of interest or move the camera closer to the zone of interest to increase the relative size of the objects in the scene.

Using Auto Tracker

The AutoTracker behavior detects and tracks movement in the camera’s field of view. When the AutoTracker behavior is configured, the system automatically pans and tilts to follow the moving object until the object stops or exits the monitored area.

When advanced options are enabled for AutoTracker behaviors, any excluded zones that you have previously created within the scene are disabled. You can create additional excluded zones, but the zones will remain exclusive to the behavior within the selected profile.

The ideal scene for the AutoTracker behavior contains light traffic and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place zones relatively stable areas.

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

Directional Motion

The Directional Motion behavior generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a person or object moves in a specified direction. Examples of typical installations for this behavior include airports, entrances and exits, and vehicle traffic through tunnels.

l In an airport installation, cameras observe passengers boarding a plane in a terminal. If a person

moves in the opposite direction of the normal flow of traffic, an alarm triggers.

l In a tunnel installation, an operator wants to observe traffic flow. If a car enters a tunnel through an

exit, an alarm alerts the operator to activate the traffic signals to stop all traffic in the tunnel.

l In an entrance or exit installation, a camera is pointed at an exit door. If a person tries to enter

through the exit door, an alarm triggers.

Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity. The width of the object you want to detect should be at least one-tenth of the total width of the scene. To achieve increased accuracy in a crowded scene, set the width of the object to onesixth of the total width of the scene.

The ideal scene selection for the Directional Motion behavior contains light traffic with all people and objects moving in the same direction, minimal obstructions, and a clean background; however, the behavior can be used in settings that do not meet all of these requirements. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place zones in a relatively stable area.

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

C6676M-C | 01/22

Spectra® Enhanced 7 Series IRLook-Up PTZ Cameras Operations Manual

Using Loitering Detection

The Loitering Detection behavior identifies when people or vehicles remain in a defined zone longer than the user-defined time allows. This behavior is effective in real-time notification of suspicious behavior around ATMs, stairwells, and school grounds.

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 Loitering Detection 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.

Using Object Counting

The Object Counting behavior counts the number of objects that enter a user-defined zone. This behavior can be used to count people at a store entrance/exit or inside a store where the traffic is light. It might also be used to monitor vehicle traffic on highways, local streets and roads, parking lots, and garages.

The ideal scene for the Object Counting behavior contains light traffic, minimal obstructions, and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place zones (polygon or line) in relatively stable areas.

A one-directional motion scene (for example, a vertical hallway) is preferable. Avoid crowded scenes in which people or objects move in all directions or remain in place for long periods of time.

Using Object Removal

The Object Removal analytic behavior triggers an alarm if an object is removed from a user-defined zone. It is ideal for detecting the removal of high-value objects, such as a painting from a wall or a statue from a pedestal.

Install the camera in a high position looking down on the scene. The monitored object should occupy a quarter of the camera scene, and the field of view should be as wide as possible.

The ideal scene selection for the Object Removal behavior is a clean background with stable lighting and minimal obstruction.

Using Stopped Vehicle

The Stopped Vehicle behavior detects vehicles stopped near a sensitive area, and sets an alarm if the vehicle is present for longer than a user-specified period of time. This behavior is ideal for parking enforcement, identifying suspicious parking, finding traffic lane breakdowns, and spotting vehicles waiting at gates.

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

The ideal scene for the Stopped Vehicle analytic behavior contains light traffic in which vehicles are continually moving, there are minimal scene obstructions, and the background is clean. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place monitoring zones relatively stable areas.

Avoid crowded scenes where people or objects remain in place for long periods of time.

Event Stream

The Event Stream displays a list of alerts triggered by an active analytic behavior. The alert includes a screen capture, the profile that was triggered, and the zone in which the event was detected.
