Document Update This addendum provides an explanation of features added in the Sarix 1.8.2 firmware release.
Customizing the Appearance of the Text Overlay
1. Click the System tab.
2. Select General Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. Set the Text Overlay settings:
Date/Time Overlay: Select Show to display the date and time in the live view overlay. The default setting is Hide.
Camera Name Overlay: Select Show to display the device name in the live view overlay. The default setting is Hide.
4. (Optional) Select the display position for the overlay from the Position drop-down menu. Selections include Top Right, Top Center, Top Left, Bottom
Right, Bottom Center, and Bottom Left.
5. (Optional) Select the format in which the date and time will appear from the Overlay Format drop-down field if you have opted to show the
Date/Time Overlay.
Authentication Mode
Authentication Mode settings determine whether or not viewing video and accessing the camera API requires user authentication.
Open Authentication: Allows users to view video and use the camera API without validating user credentials. With Open Authentication selected, you can
select “Require password for PTZ” to limit PTZ control to authenticated users.
Closed Authentication: Requires users to possess valid credentials to view video and access the camera API. Before selecting Closed Authentication,
ensure that your video management system supports Closed Authentication mode.
CONFIGURING AUTHENTICATION MODE
1. Select Open Authentication or Closed Authentication.
2. (Optional) Select “Require password for PTZ” control to require user authentication for PTZ control even if Open Authentication is selected.
NOTE: Ensure that your video management system supports closed authentication before selecting Closed Authentication.
User and Group Management
Sarix cameras support two methods for managing the permissions of users and groups.
Local Mode: The camera manages users and groups locally. This is the default setting.
Remote Mode: The camera authenticates and manages users through an LDAP server supported by Microsoft
administrators to tie cameras and group permissions into existing single sign-on services (SSO). Selecting Remote Mode disables local user
management settings.
ENABLING REMOTE MODE
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Select Remote Mode under User and Group Management.
3. Type the IP address or hostname of the LDAP server in the LDAP Server box.
4. Type the port over which the camera will communicate with the LDAP server in the LDAP Port box. The default port for LDAP Communications is 389.
5. Type the distinguished name (DN) that is the basis for LDAP searches in the Base DN box.
6. Provide the template to format the username (provided when the user logs on to the camera) for searches in the LDAP directory in the
Bind DN Template box.
7. Provide the LDAP search query for users found in the base DN in the Search Template box. The search must match an entry in the LDAP user record to
the bind name (username).
8. Input Group Mappings for each of the camera’s four user groups:
a. Input the common name (CN) and DN for the group of users to whom you want to grant admin access in the Admins box.
b. Input the CN and DN for the group of users to whom you want to grant manager access in the Managers box.
c. Input the CN and DN for the group of users to whom you want to grant operator access in the Operators box.
d. Input the CN and DN for the group of users to whom you want to grant viewer access in the Viewers box.
9. In the User and Password boxes, input the credentials of a user who can be authenticated through the LDAP server.
NOTE: Remote Mode (LDAP authentication) will not be enabled if you leave these fields blank or do not provide valid credentials; this ensures that you
cannot lock yourself out of the camera with invalid or incorrect LDAP settings.
10. Click Save.

Port Settings
Port settings appear under the System Settings heading in the General Settings section of the Network tab. These settings determine the ports over which
the camera communicates for HTTP, HTTPS, and RTSP protocols. Contact your network administrator before changing port settings to ensure that your port
settings do not conflict with your network infrastructure.
SETTING THE HTTP PORT
NOTE: The HTTP port number must remain at the default setting (80) when connecting to a Pelco video management system (VMS) platform. If connecting
to a Pelco VMS, do not change the HTTP port setting.

2. Select General from the drop-down menu.
3. Type the new port number in the HTTP Port field. The default port for HTTP communications is 80.

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.

Refer to the following sections for more information:
• Primary Stream and Secondary Stream on page 9
• QuickView Stream on page 9
• Unicast on page 10
• Multicast on page 10
• Compression Standards on page 23
• Image Rate on page 23
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 preset setting, 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 Preset page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.
To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream use the Video Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.
Configurable settings include the stream name, compression standard, resolution setting, image rate, and bit rate. The default names for the
streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names have been changed, the new names will 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 VGA resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is displayed when the
Imaging Tab settings are configured. This allows users to view changes to exposure, white balance, and tone map settings as they are configured
and before the settings are saved.
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream. The only stream setting that is selectable is the framerate: 2 ips
or 1 ips.
C3469M-C (4/12) 9
UNICAST
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.
The camera supports a maximum of 20 simultaneous users.
MULTICAST
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simult aneous users.
TAKING A SNAPSHOT
1. Click the “Take a Snapshot” button.
2. The File Download dialog box opens, and the following message appears: “Do you want to open or save this 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 on your computer.
Cancel: The captured image is not saved or displayed and the dialog box closes.
NOTE: If you are using JPEG, the captured image will be the size of the largest MJPEG stream. If you are using MPEG-4 or H.264, the image is
captured using the QuickView Stream, which is approximately VGA resolution.

DISPLAYING VIDEO IN THE MULTISCREEN VIEW
Devices connected to the same virtual local area network (VLAN) as the device to which you are logged on can be displayed in a multiscreen
view. Use the 4-camera, 9-camera, or 16-camera view mode buttons to display video from multiple devices simultaneously.
The device you are logged on to is the default display for the upper-left video pane in the multiscreen view. The device name is displayed in the
gray area near the top of the page.
NOTE: Using Primary and Secondary streams in multiscreen view will limit the available processing power and create responsiveness issues for
the device and PC. If you experience latency issues, set the device streams to QuickView. Available processing power is determined by the
settings for compression standards, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and analytic configuration.
To select video to display in the individual multiscreen panes:
1. Click the desired View Mode display button.
2. Click the Show Device List button above the selected video pane. A list of cameras connected to the same VLAN as the camera to which

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 page includes configurable and read-only fields for network communication settings. Available settings include the
Hardware Address, Hostname, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Servers.
You can also enable or disable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server from the General Network page. DHCP automatically
assigns an IP address to the device if there is a DHCP server on the network. If DHCP is set to On, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
server settings are read-only text. If DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually changed. The default camera setting for DHCP is On.
SSL Settings
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
SSH is a user-enabled protocol that allows Pelco Product Support to log on to and service the camera for advanced troubleshooting purposes.
From this page, users with the appropriate permissions can enable or disable SSH access to the camera.
802.1x
802.1x is a port security that authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access through a wired or wireless port using
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). 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 will ask the device for authentication.
If the credential is accepted when the device sends a credential to the network switch, the network switch will open the port for normal use.
If authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.
SNMP
SNMP is an application layer protocol used to manage TCP/IP-based networks from a single workstation or several workstations. The camera
supports SNMP versions 2c and 3 and can be configured to send data using a trap.

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 a Video Presets page, a Video
Configuration page, and an Audio Configuration page.
Video Presets
The Video Preset page includes three fully-configured video presets, which include primary and secondary video stream settings for easy setup.
These presets may also be used as a starting point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations vary depending on camera
model.
Video Configuration
The Video Configuration page allows you to customize the compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate 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
The Audio Configuration page allows you to setup 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 may 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 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 insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

easier to recognize the stream (for example, Live and Recording).
5. Configure the Compression Standard, Resolution, Image Rate, and Bit Rate settings for the primary stream.
NOTE: The compression standard, resolution, image rate, and bit rate 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. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the Secondary stream.
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.
COMPRESSION STANDARDS
JPEG: A commonly used video compression scheme, also known as MJPEG. JPEG has the least impact on the camera’s processor, but it requires
the most bandwidth.
MPEG-4 (available only with 0.5 megapixel model): A full-motion video standard used by most DVD recorders. MPEG-4 is less
processor-intensive than JPEG, but it uses more bandwidth than H.264.
H.264: A new version of MPEG-4 compression used in high-definition video players such as Blu-ray
processor-intensive, but it requires the least amount of bandwidth.
™
and HD-DVD. H.264 is the most
IMAGE RATE
The image rate is the number of images per second (ips) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates are 30, 25, 24, 15,
12.5, 12, 10, 8, 7.5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.5, 2, and 1.
NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the programmed compression standard and the resolution of the stream.
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 only recommended on networks with high
reliability. This setting is only available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
C3469M-C (4/12) 23
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 only available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
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 only
available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
ADVANCED SHARPENING
The Advanced Sharpening setting enhances picture detail by sharpening the edges in the picture. When this mode is enabled, there is a trade-off
between image quality and the resources required for processing power. The maximum camera resolution and image rate will not be available,
but the edges of the image seem sharper. Only use this setting if you cannot achieve the sharpness level you want by adjusting the digital
processing settings of the camera. The default setting for Advanced Sharpening is Off.
SELECTING THE AUDIO CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
To use audio with the camera you must have an audio device connected to the accessory port located on the back of the camera. Once the device
is connected, audio can only be enabled through the primary stream.
Audio and video may not be synced when viewing and listening to the primary stream through a Web browser. You may experience a
three-second delay in video when viewing the primary stream with audio.
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 insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

Node: The camera uses a centralized server to manage users and groups. In this mode, the users and groups page is disabled and all
management is done on the central server. Any changes to users and groups affect all cameras connected to the central server.
When you click the Node option, a Server box appears. Click in the Server box, and then type the name of the central server to manage
users and groups.
Mixed: The camera verifies user names and passwords against a central server but manages the group settings locally. This is useful if you
want to use a departmental or corporate server for user names and passwords. In this mode, the settings on the users page are limited, and
any changes to user names and passwords are done on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. While changes to user
names and passwords affect all cameras connected to the LDAP server, group permissions must be managed from each camera
individually.
When you click the Mixed option, boxes appear for the LDAP Server and Base DN. Click in the LDAP Server and Base DN boxes, and type
the necessary information in each box.

Events Tab
Use the Events tab to configure camera events.
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
The camera supports an input alarm source, a system source, and a timer source. The Alarm source is the camera input for an external signaling
device, such as a door contact or motion detector. The Timer source is a user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of
time.
Handlers
The device supports a Send Email handler and an “Upload JPEG to FTP Server handlers.” The Send Email handler sends an email to a defined
email address when an event is activated. The “Upload JPEG to FTP Server” saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.
