Hardware installation

When the camera is switched on, it runs a self-test, and the Power/Activity LEDs flashes blue and red. If this self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes blue and the Network camera is ready for you to enter an IP address. After you enter an IP address, the blue LED flashes once every second. If the self-test is not successful, the red LED flashes several times. For troubleshooting hints, see Appendix A.

The network camera will first detect Ethernet. If it does not connect to Ethernet, the network camera will try WLAN. During the searching and connecting process to the wireless access point or station, the LED of the network camera will keep red. Until the network camera is connected to the other wireless device, the LED wil become blue and flash. Operating in either network mode, the blue LED will flash every second as heartbeat to indicate alive.

Installation in Ethernet

Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch. After attaching the Ethernet cable please plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns off the be steady blue after self test, you can go to software installation. If the Ethernet is not available, the network camera will switch to wireless LAN mode.

Installation in Wireless LAN

If the Ethernet is not available while power on, the network camera will search for any access point with SSID “default”. Once an access point is found, the LED will turn green to wait for installation. If the network camera environment cannot meet the default settings, install the network camera in Ethernet to proceed with wireless LAN configuration.

Make sure that all accessories and articles listed above are present in the scope of delivery. Depending on application, an Ethernet cable may be required. This Ethernet cable must meet the specifications of UTP Category 5 (CAT 5) and must not be longer than 100 meters.

To prevent the risk of electric shock, first connect the socket of the transformer to the security network camera before inserting the transformer into the mains socket.

Consult your dealer for the correct installation of peripheral devices.

First access to Network camera

Setting the IP address

To set the IP address of the camera:

Use a network cable to connect the Network camera to your computer network. (The simplest way is to connect the Network camera direct to your PC using a cross-link cable.)

If your PC is not yet integrated into a network, you first have to configure it for the network application. Do this by opening the Properties page for your network. (This also applies if the camera is connected to the PC via a hub or switch.)

1. Click

, select and open the Properties page of the

2. Enter a fixed IP address and subnet mask (e.g.: 192.168.0.80 and as subnet mask 255.255.255.0).

Page 10

- The network connection of your PC is now configured.

3. Now start the Installation Wizard from the software CD supplied.

4. Follow the installation instructions of the Installation Wizard.

5. If installation is successful, start the program under Programs/Installation Wizard.

6. Following the program start, the Installation Wizard automatically searches for a connected network camera.

7. If no camera is found in the first search, click “Search” for a new search.

Note:

The IP addresses shown in the “Current IP Address” field reflect those on the local network. They may be from the DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server, the camera will try to find a free IP address (this takes from 15 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the LAN status). The method of finding an IP address is seeking from 192.168.0.99, to

192.168.0.254. If any of the address inside this range is free, the network camera will be assigned to this IP address, and its subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0. If none of the addresses is free, the network camera will try the range from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.98. After an IP address is assigned to the camera, the “Activity” status LED blinks.

Note: If no camera is found via the manual search, change the network settings of your PC as described in the instructions.

Page 11

8. Select one of the camera models found.

9. Click “Setup” to enter camera setup mode. If a password is required, use the device serial number (no spaces, uppercase letters only). You can change the hostname, the administrator password and the date/time settings of the camera. If you cannot access the settings, check the IP addresses of your network adapter and your network camera. The IP addresses must be in the same subnet area. If necessary, change the IP address of the network adapter (page 7).

Page 12

10. Now click “Next” to change the IP address of your network camera.

If you use a router in your network, enter this IP address (gateway) in the Default Router field.

11. If you disable “Reset IP address at next boot”, you do not have to reassign the IP address of this camera following a power failure. Otherwise, you have to reassign the IP address after every camera restart.

12. Click “Next”.

Access to the network camera via the Internet Explorer

Defining a password to prevent unauthorised access

For security reasons, the administrator should define a new password immediately. After the new administrator password is stored, the Network camera asks for the user name and password every time it is accessed. The administrator can define up to twenty (20) user accounts. Every user has access to the Network camera, but not to the system configuration. Some system-critical functions are reserved for the administrator, such as system configuration, user administration and upgrading software programs. The administrator’s user name is always root and cannot be changed. Following a password change, the browser displays an authentication window and asks for the new password. After changing the password, you cannot restore the original administrator password. Your only option is to reset all default factory settings/parameters.

To enter the password:

Open the Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the camera (e.g.: <http://192.168.0.99>).

You are prompted for authentication:

Î You are now connected with the Network camera and can see a video stream.

Note: It may happen that your PC’s security settings prevent a video stream. You can change the security

settings to a lower level under “Tools/Internet Options/Security”. Make sure you enable Active X Control Elements and Downloads.

Page 15

Changing the administrator password

Click “Configuration” and then “Security”.

Under “Root password”, enter the administrator password and confirm it under “Confirm password”.

Click “Save”. The new administrator password is saved.

Click “HOME” in the column on the left to exit configuration.

Page 16

Installing the plug-in

When you first access the Network camera under Windows, the web browser may ask for the installation of a new plug-in for the Network camera. This query depends on the Internet security settings of your PC. If the highest security level is set, the PC will refuse any installation and any attempt at execution. This plug-in is used for video

display in the browser. To continue, click

. If the web browser prevents continuation of the installation, open the Internet security settings and reduce the security level or consult the IT administrator or network administrator.

Client settings

When you first access the Connection Type page under Windows, the web browser asks for the installation of a new plug-in. This plug-in was registered at certification and can be used to change parameters on the Client settings

page. To install the plug-in, click

. If the web browser prevents continuation of the installation, open

the Internet security settings and reduce the security level or consult the IT administrator or network administrator.

Page 20

Two settings are available on the Client settings page. Under “Media Options”, you can disable the audio function. Under “Protocol Options”, you can select a transmission protocol for data transfer between the client and the server. Three protocol options are available for optimising the application: UDPand HTTP.

The UDP protocol gives you a larger number of realtime audio and video streams. However, some data packets can be lost due to the large data volume in the network. Pictures can be unclear. The UDP protocol is recommended if you have no special requirements.

Use the HTTP protocol if the network is protected by a firewall and only the HTTP port (80) is to be opened. In this mode, no audio is transmitted.

The selection of the client is normally recommended in the following order: UDP – HTTP. When the Network camera has been successfully connected, the “Protocol Options” box shows the selected protocol. The selected protocol is registered in your PC and used for the next connection. After changing the network environment or if you want to search again for the Network camera using the web browser, select the UDP protocol manually, save it and then return to “HOME” to set up the connection again.

“Streaming Options” For users to select the video streaming types. Select “Streaming Video” option, the video connection will keep alive to enable you to see smooth video, while “Single JPEG” option will let you see the video in JPEG format by client periodic update the JPEG image from server according to the “Frame rate” settings.

“Talk Button Control Style” For the user to determine whether to “click once and talk” or “push to talk”.

<url> http://<Network Camera>/protocol.html Network Camera is the original IP address or the hostname of the Network camera.

Administrator settings

Configuration / video

Best performance is produced by the maximum frame rate with best video quality and minimum network bandwidth. The six factors “Size”, “Maximum frame rate”, “Video codec type”, “Key frame interval”, “Fix bit rate” and “Fix quality” on the video configuration page are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance that is possible.

For high frame rates

To obtain a good visual realtime effect (more than 20 frames/s), the network bandwidth must be sufficiently large. If the network bandwidth is higher than 1 Mbps, the value for the “Fix bit rate” must be set to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps and the “Fix quality” to the highest quality. In the PAL system, the maximum frame rate is 25, and in the NTSC system, 30 frames per second. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and the maximum frame rate to 25 or 30 fps (frames per second). If the pictures in your environment are changed drastically, you can reduce the maximum frame rate to 20 frames per second to set the data transmission rate lower. This gives you a better video quality, and the human eye cannot distinguish between 20, 25 and 30 frames per second. If the network bandwidth is less than 384 Kbps, adjust the “Fix bit rate” according to the bandwidth and try to get the best performance by fine-tuning the “Maximum frame rate”. In a “slow” network, a high frame rate results in unclear, distorted images. Another way to improve quality is to select “Half” in the “Size” option, or “Half x 2” for a larger view of the pictures. Video quality also depends on the number of users in the network. Performance can also be affected by a bad connection and by a restriction of the network burst. In multi-user environment, the user who has poor network performance will receive only the key frame in MPEG4 format. Try to reduce the key frame interval can improve the frame rate for poor network performance, but the penalty is the increasing of network traffic. If the server is running on the Internet, select “Improve efficiency in the multi-user environment” will improve the efficiency in the multi-user environment.

Page 22

For higher-quality pictures

For best video quality, set “Fix quality” to “Detailled” or “Excellent” and the “Maximum frame rate” so that it corresponds to the bandwidth of your network. If your network is slow and you get “broken” images, go to the HTTP protocol under “Protocol Options” and select a more suitable transmission mode. Pictures can also be affected by a time delay due to a slower connection. The more users in the network, the greater this time delay.

For high frame rates with high-quality pictures

If you have a broadband network, set “Fix bit rate” to “512Kbps” or higher and leave “Fix bit rate” unchanged. You can also set the bandwidth according to the actual network speed or the frame rate. Start with 25 frames per second and reduce this setting until you get the best performance. However, do not reduce it to less than 15 frames per second. If the picture quality is not improved, select a lower setting for “Fix bit rate”.

Select Motion-JPEG (MJPEG) for video codec type

The network camera is a camera with dual video codec, MPEG4 and MJEPG. If MJEPG is selected the camera will transmit video data in JPEG format. Therefore, it requires higher bandwidth to view smooth video. General speaking, each normal sized JPEG image would be 3k~12k bytes, depending on the selected video quality and contents. Together with the frame rate selected, the administrator can control the bandwidth of each connection.

Protecting the Network camera with a password

Root password

The DIGI-LAN Network camera is delivered without password. In this case all users have access to the Network camera, including its configuration, as long as they know the IP address. If other users are to have access to the Network camera, you should therefore assign a password to the camera. To activate protection, enter a new password. The administrator is identified with this password.

Opening accounts for new users

Under “Configuration”, select “Security”. Now go to the Add user section.

Add an account with user name and password for a second user. You can define up to twenty accounts for other users of the Network camera. The camera checks only the access permission of the corresponding user name and password. This means that two or more users can use the same account at different levels. An option for access to the relay “I/O access” is available for every account.

Page 23

More flexible options for the viewer

Allow “demo” account to view:

If you want to have a guest account for viewers only, you just need to add a user without password and disable all privileges. Share the account to you friends.

Format of a multimedia website

Demo on two or more pages – medium-scale service

The Network camera allows up to ten online visitors simultaneously. Following installation, you focus the Network camera on a picture and inform the visitors of the web browser address. Caution: Keep your guest list on the security configuration page to prevent visits by unwanted visitors.

Product demo for e-Business – large-scale service

If the number of visitors exceeds the limit, the Network camera enables the pictures to be viewed as snapshots in JPEG mode. These pictures are displayed as stills and updated automatically. This requires a script function that is supported by the web browser.

1. On the homepage, click “Client settings”.

2. Select “Single JPEG” in “Streaming Options”,

3. Set the snapshot interval for automatic updating of the still picture. The greater the snapshot interval, the better the snapshot mode works for more viewers.

If you want to extend the function for a larger number of visitors, the host server must be capable of handling large traffic volumes in the network in order to be able to update the pictures from the Network camera.

If the website has an FTP service

Define the Network camera as an FTP client. Access to the Network camera depends on the number of visitors; the picture quality remains constant.

1. On the homepage, click “Configuration”.

2. In the left column, click “Mail & FTP”.

3. Enter the FTP-specific settings, including the server, user name, and password, plus the path for uploading, if required by the website.

10. Prepare a homepage with the integrated picture reference for the image file previously uploaded via FTP.

Page 25

If no FTP service is available in the web

An automatically updated homepage can be used for occasional retrieval of the latest pictures from the Network camera. You get the best performance by using a free website provider, since the FTP service can be restricted.

Alarm inputs/outputs

Configuration / application

The administrator can combine options on the application page to permit the running of a large number of security applications. Two inputs, e.g., for motion detection, are available. There are also two outputs that react to such events, including uploading of snapshots via the Internet and switching other connected actors. You can use either FTP or e-mail to upload snapshots. Both e-mail and FTP use the network settings on the homepage. For specifications of a detailed configuration, see the “System configuration” section.

General

„IP address“ This is needed for network identification. „Subnet mask“ Defines whether the destination is in the same subnet. The default value is “255.255.255.0”. „Default router“ Gateway for transmitting pictures to another subnet. An invalid router setting prevents transmission to these destinations in different subnets. „Primary DNS“ Server of the primary domain name with which the hostnames are converted into IP addresses. „Secondary DNS“ Server of the secondary domain name for generating a reserve copy of the primary DNS.

HTTP

„HTTP port“ This port can be different from the standard port 80. If this port is changed, users must be informed to ensure a successful connection. Example: If the administrator changes the HTTP port of the security network camera with the IP address 192.168.0.99 from 80 to 8080, users have to enter “http://192.168.0.99:8080” in the web browser instead of “http://192.168.0.99”.

Data flow

„UDP audio channel port“ This port can be different from the standard port 5002 if this is blocked by a firewall. „UDP video channel port“ This port can be different from the standard port 5003 if this is blocked by a firewall.

“url” http://”Network Camera”/setup/network.vspx “Network Camera” is the domain name or original IP address of the security network camera.

WLAN configuration

“SSID” (Service Set Identifier) The name that identifies the wireless network. The access point and the WLAN network camera must use the name SSID. The factory setting is “default”. IMPORTANT: The max. length is 32 characters; do not use: “ , ”, <, > and spaces.

“Wireless mode” Select one of the following:

“Infrastructure” The network camera is connected to the network via an access point.

“Ad-Hoc” In this mode, the network camera can communicate direct with another network adapter (network card). A so-called Peer-to-Peer environment is set up.

“Channel” In infrastructure mode, the channel used is selected automatically by the camera. In Ad-Hoc mode, the channel must be set manually according to the other network adapter.

“TX rate” Set the maximum transmission speed in the network. In the factory, the speed is set to select automatically (“auto”), and the camera always tries to reach the highest transmission speed according to the environment.

“Preamble” A so-called preamble is set before each data packet. This preamble is used to synchronise the receiver and the sender. With a “short preamble”, the synchronisation length is shorter and therefore not so secure.

“Security” Select the encryption method: “None” No encryption selected.

“WEP” (Wired Equivalent Privacy) A 64- or 128-bit key is used for encryption (HEX or ASCII). For

communication with other equipment, these keys must be the same on both devices. “WPA-PSK” (Wi-fi Protected Access – Pre Shared Keys) With this method, dynamic keys are used. As encryption protocols, TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) can be selected. A so-called Pre-Shared Key must be defined.

“Auth mode” Authentication mode: Select one of the following methods: “Shared” This mode permits communication only with equipment using the same WEP key. “Open” The key is communicated over the whole network.

“Key length” Select 64 or 128 bit. “Key format” Key format “HEX” Hexadecimal format “ASCII” ASCII format

“Network key” For different key formats, different key lengths are expected. 64 Bit: 10 hex digits or 5 characters 128 Bit: 26 hex digits or 13 characters 256 Bit: 58 hex digits or 29 characters

IMPORTANT: If you want to use characters 22 ("), 3C (<) or 3E (>), you cannot use ASCII format.

“Pre-Shared-Key” Enter this key in ASCII format with a length of 8 ~ 63 characters.

DDNS and UPnP settings

„Enable DDNS“ Enables the DDNS function. „Provider“ The provider list contains four hosts that provide DDNS services. Connect to the service-provider’s website to make sure that the service is available. „Host name“ This field must be completed if you want to use the DDNS service. Enter the hostname registered with the DDNS server. „Username/Email” The user name and the e-mail address must be entered in this field to set up a connection to the DDNS server or to inform users about the new IP address. Important: If you enter a user name in this field, you must enter a password in the next field. „Password/Key“ To be able to use the DDNS service, enter the password or the key. „Enable UPnP“ Enables/disables the UPnP function. If UPnP is disabled, the camera cannot be found in the network environment under MS Windows XP. If the UPnP network component is installed under Windows XP, the hostname of the security network camera in the network environment is displayed with an IP address in brackets. Example: Security network camera (192.168.0.96). This means: The hostname of the security network camera is “Security network camera”, and the IP address of the security network camera is 192.168.0.96.

Mail & FTP

SMTP

If the SMTP server supports SMTP authentication, the user has to enter a valid user name and password to send an e-mail via the server. „1st SMTP mail server“ Domain name or IP address of the external e-mail server. „1st SMTP account name“ Permitted user name for external e-mail server. „1st SMTP password“ Permitted password for external e-mail server. „1st recipient email address“ E-mail address of recipients of snapshots or of the log file. Two or more recipient names must be separated by semicolons (;). „2nd SMTP mail server“ Domain name or IP address of another e-mail server (backup) if the first server cannot be reached. „2nd SMTP account name“ Permitted user name for backup e-mail server. „2nd SMPT password“ Permitted password for backup e-mail server. „2nd recipient email address“ E-mail address of recipient for backup server. „Sender email address“ E-mail address of sender.

FTP

„Built-in FTP server port“ This port can be different from the standard port 21. The user can set this parameter to 1 to 65535. If this parameter is changed, the server port of the connection must be changed accordingly by the external FTP client program. „1st FTP server“ Domain name or IP address of the external FTP server. The following user settings must be correctly configured for remote access. “1st FTP server port” The port to access the external FTP server. „1st FTP server user name“ Permitted user name for external FTP server. „1st FTP server password“ Permitted password for external FTP server. “1st FTP remote folder” Permitted folder for external FTP server. The character set must match that of the external FTP server. If the virtual path is not mapped, some FTP servers cannot accept a slash in front of the path name. For details, see the instructions for the external FTP server. The folder privilege must be open for uploading. „1st FTP passive mode“ The security network camera is in the network protected by a firewall. A data connection for FTP may not be permitted. If you select passive mode, the FTP can get round this restriction and permit snapshots, so that the upload can continue. If you select passive mode, the security network camera can automatically try active mode if the external FTP server does not support passive mode. „2nd FTP server“ Domain name or IP address of the external FTP server. “2nd FTP server port” The port to access the external FTP server. „2nd FTP user name“ Permitted user name for backup FTP server. „2nd FTP password“ Permitted password for backup FTP server. „2nd FTP remote folder“ Permitted folder for backup FTP server. „2nd FTP passive mode“ Setting of passive mode for the backup FTP server.

. corresponds to the same video size as , but with reduced

quality while requiring less bandwidth.

corresponds to a quarter of the size of .

corresponds to the same video size as , but with reduced quality while requiring less bandwidth. “Video codec type” It can be either MJPEG or MPEG4. In MJPEG mode, the video frames are independent. In MPEG4 mode, there are I frames and P frames. To decode a P frame need information of the previous frame. MPEG4 consumes much less network bandwidth than MJPEG. Five parameters are available for setting the video quality.

Restricts the maximum frame

rate, which can be combined with

to optimise bandwidth use and video quality. If the user

wants to define bandwidth usage independently of the video quality,

and the desired bandwidth must be selected. MPEG4 video are composed by I frames and P frames as the following sequence: IPPPPIPPPPIPPPP. “Key frame interval” determines how many related P frames will appear after one I frame. Large “Key frame interval” can reduce the bit rate, but cause image corrupt longer if there is packet loss while transmission. “Fix bit rate” option and “Key frame interval” option are only available in MPEG4 mode. Video quality can be affected due to sending the maximum frame rate within the restricted bandwidth if the pictures are fastmoving. To ensure video quality (quantising rate) independent of the network, a greater bandwidth is used to be able to handle maximum frame rate during the transmission of rapidly changing pictures.

Rotates the video vertically.

Rotates the video horizontally. Select these options if the security network camera is installed upside down or back to front. “Improve efficiency in the multi-user environment” Check this option to improve efficiency in the multi-user environment when running in the low bandwidth environment. But it will cause each connection slow a few minutes when connection established. “Time stamp on video” When selected the time stamp format is:

a) “Size” becomes Normal or Double, “Text on video” hh:mm:ss yy/mm/dd” b) “Size” becomes half, “hh:mm:ss yyyy/mm/dd”

Audio

“Transmission mode” There are five options to select. For all the modes, only one client can talk to the server at the same time. “Full-duplex (Talk and listen simultaneously)” In this mode, the user can talk to the server while listening sound from the server simultaneously. “Half-duplex (Talk or listen, not at the same time)” In this mode, the user can talk to the server or listen from the server, but not at the same time. “Simplex – Talk only” In this mode, the user can only talk to the server. “Simplex – Listen only” In this mode, the user can only listen from the server. “Disable” In this mode, the audio is disabled in both directions. “Send audio from the active client to all other clients” In half duplex transmission mode, select the option to talk to the server and broadcast you voice to all the other clients. “Improve audio quality in low bandwidth environment” If the network camera works in versatile or low network bandwidth environment, the user can check this option to improving audio quality by sacrificing some real-time synchronisation. “Accoustic echo cancellation” In full-duplex mode, the server can play sound from the client and receive sound from the environment and send it to the client. Since the sound from the client is played by the server, it will also be received by the server’s microphone and send back to the client. That is the client will hear its echo. Select this option can prevent echo by sacrificing the video frame rate. “Bit rate” There are three kinds or bit-rate for audio. 32kbps and 24kbps are suitable for music and speech. 8kbps is suitable for speech only.

Application

Weekly schedule

„Sun“ ~ „Sat“ Selects weekdays for the following operations. „Snapshots begin at“ Sets the time for start of operation. „Snapshots stop at“ Sets the time for end of operation. Start time and stop time settings should be entered in 24-hour format. „All the time except for the above schedule“ Sets the weekly schedule for all the time except for the times entered above. “Snapshot file name prefix” Specify the prefix name for the snapshot file. Please check naming rule of snapshot file for more detail.

Event reaction

„Delay xx second(s) before detecting the next event“ Sets a time delay before restarting, to check the trigger condition when the current condition is started. „Send xx pre-event image(s) when event occures“ Specify how many pre-event snapshots will be sent if events happen. „Trigger condition“ Four conditions are available in connection with the digital input, and three windows for motion detection: You can select more than one condition. Select the condition of the suitable digital input that matches the properties of the external device. With “Input is high” and “Input is low”, the level trigger is selected via the external voltage input. „Input is rising“, „Input is falling“ are for flank control.

Three windows are provided for motion detection; you can assign a name to each of them. If motion detection has not been set, the message “undefined” appears instead of the window title. In this case, click “Motion detection”; a message appears telling you to go to the motion detection configuration page. „Trigger action“ Four options for three action types are available. You can select more than one condition at a time. While you are selecting the triggering of an output alarm, both pins are connected by the digital output and the circuit of the external device is closed. The normal state is open. The commands for uploading snapshots can be given either by e-mail or via FTP. The names of the snapshots are “vpre.jpg”, “vtrg.jpg” and “vpos.jpg”. These stand for snapshots taken before, during and after the event. Optionally, the date and time suffix can be appended. Confirm the settings of the external e-mail or FTP server in the network configuration. „Reset output“ Select and save this option for resetting the digital output.

Sequencing

„Snapshot interval” The security network camera sends snapshots to the external server at specified intervals using the method selected below. Don’t forget that this process still depends on the conditions set in the weekly schedule. „Send snapshots by email“ This selects the upload method according to the intervals set above. The snapshot with the name “video.jpg” is attached to the e-mail with the subject name “Periodic Snapshots”. „Send snapshots by email“ The snapshots are transmitted to the external FTP server with the file name defined in the next option. This option can also be used to update pictures stored on the external web server. „FTP put snapshots with date and time suffix“ Adds the date and time to the snapshot so that you can more easily distinguish between the file names of snapshots either in sequential or event-controlled operation. Example: “video@20030102030405.jpg” means that the JPEG picture was taken on January 2, 2003 at 03:04:05 (i.e., just after 3:04 am). If you omit this suffix, the file is updated with the name “video.jpg” on the external FTP server according to the specified time interval.

A. Troubleshooting

LED status display

Following switch-on, the security network camera runs a diagnostic self-test to detect potential hardware faults. The following table lists the general LED patterns. In the event of a serious fault or error, the LED flashes differently from the patterns listed below.

Condition LED colour

During the self-test following switch-on: Blinking in interchanged Blue and Red

No Ethernet signal found: Red LED is constantly ON and Blue LED is OFF.

Before the network is set up: Red LED is constantly ON and Blue LED is OFF

After the network is set up: Red LED is constantly ON and Blue LED is blinking

every 0.5 seconds

Other hardware faults: Other patterns

Resetting and restoring

In the opening next to the I/O terminal block is a button. Press this button to reset the system or restore the factory parameter settings. Sometimes the normal system status can be restored by a reset. If you have further problems following a reset, restore the factory parameter settings and reinstall and reconfigure the system.

RESET: Press the reset button with a pointed object.

RESTORE:

1. Press the button continuously with a pointed object.

2. Wait until the self-test runs a second time.

3. Release the reset button after both LEDs shut off.

If the factory parameter settings are restored, all the previous settings are deleted. The system can be reset or restored.

B. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

F. What do I do if I forget my password? A. Every access to the security network camera requires an authentication. If you are one of the managing users, ask your administrator for your password. If you are the administrator, there is no way of reactivating the root password. The only way of accessing the security network camera is to press the reset button on the rear of the camera to restore the factory-set parameters and then reconfigure the system.

F. Why does no video appear from the security network camera following authentication? A. This problem can be caused by various factors:

1. If you have just installed the security network camera and see no video, check the video modulation on the configuration page.

2. Reduce the security level of the Internet Explorer to enable installation of the plug-ins.

3. If this problem recurs, the users are possibly working at a higher level than is permitted by the system.

F. What is the plug-in for? A. The plug-in provided by the security network camera is used for showing video streams in the Internet Explorer. If your system does not permit the installation of plug-in software, reduce the security level of the web browser. Consult your network administrator.

F. Why is there a difference between the timestamp and the system time of the PC/notebook? A. The timestamp is based on the system time of the security network camera. This is supplied by an internal realtime clock and can automatically be synchronised with a time server if the security network camera is connected to the Internet and the function is enabled. Differences of an hour or more are caused by the time zone setting.

F. Why is the picture not refreshed regularly? A. If you use a modem, the bandwidth of the PPP connection is much less that with an Ethernet connection. If the timestamp difference is unstable, reduce the UART FIFO for reception and transmission under Modem Properties in the Control Panel. If you use the Ethernet, the reason may be the length of time required to store snapshots in memory after an event occurs.

F. How many users can watch the video simultaneously? A. The number of users is basically unlimited. However, the video quality depends on the network bandwidth.

F. How fast is the video rate of the security network cameras? A. The MPEG4 Codec can internally process 25 frames a second. However, the overall quality depends on various coefficients.

1. Data throughput in the network

2. Shared bandwidth

3. Number of users

4. The visible “complicated” objects result in large image files.

5. The settings on your PC that are responsible for displaying pictures. The transmission rate of a normal local network can reach over 200 kilobytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 frames per second.

F. How can I keep access to video streams of the security network camera as secure as possible? A. The security network camera was developed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible interfaces. User authentication and special confirmation during installation can prevent unauthorised access to the security network camera. You can also change the HTTP port to a non-public number. Check the system log for abnormal activities and their causes.

F. How fast can the security network camera check the state of the digital inputs? A. The security network camera checks the input state in less than half a second. However, to avoid the conditions of a repeated check and ensure a correct functioning of equipment connected to the digital outputs, the security network camera delays for 3 seconds after each adaptation of the condition. You can modify this according to your own specific applications. During this period, other conditions are ignored.

Page 45

F. Why is access to the security network camera not possible while I am setting options in the application? A. If the security network cameras are started by events, snapshots need more time since they are written to memory. If the events occur too often, the system is constantly trying to store the pictures. If an event occurs very frequently, use sequential mode or an external recording program to record the pictures. If you want to access the pictures via FTP, the parameter can be set lower since FTP responds faster than the web. If the system is busy with configuration, press the reset button to restore the factory settings and store the system.

C. URL commands of the security network camera

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section lists the commands in URL format corresponding to the basic functions of Network Camera.

Overview This section specifies the external HTTP based application programming interface. The HTTP based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, to control camera functions (output relay etc.) and to get and set internal parameter values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server. Style convention In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text in italic within angle brackets denotes a content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string also the angle brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL syntax example, also below. URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box with the referred syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended to be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam.adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.

Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/video.jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP is line separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.

Return: HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n

URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box with the example. Example: request a single snapshot image http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/video.jpg

General CGI URL syntax and parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the CGI is required. Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext> [?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Example: Setting digital output #1 to high http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/setparam.cgi?do1=h

Get server parameter values

Note: This request require administrator access Method: GET/POST

Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…]

Page 47

where the <parameter> should be <group>[_<name>] or <group>[.<name>] If you do not specify the any parameters, all the parameters on the server will be returned. If you specify only <group>, the parameters of related group will be returned.

When query parameter values, the current parameter value are returned. Successful control requests returns paramter pairs as follows. Return: HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Context-Length: <length>\r\n \r\n <parameter pair> where <parameter pair> is <parameter>=<value>\r\n [<parameter pair>]

<length> is the actual length of content.

Example: request IP address and it’s response Request: http://192.168.0.123/cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?network_ipaddress

Response: HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Context-Length: 33\r\n \r\n network.ipaddress=192.168.0.123\r\n

Set server parameter values

Note: This request require administrator access Method: GET/POST

Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi? [nosync=<value>&]<parameter>=<value> [&<parameter>=<value>…][&return=<return page>]

parameter value description nosync 0, 1 Specifies that there should be no sync (write) of the corresponding

configuration file on flash. If parameter is omitted, a sync write will occur.

(note: this parameter must be put at begin of parameter list) <group>_<name>. value to assigned Assign <value> to the parameter <group>_<name>.. return <return page> Redirect to the page <return page> after the parameter is

assigned. The <return page> can be a full URL path or relative

path according the the current path. If you omit this parameter, it

will redirect to an empty page.

(note: The return page can be a general HTML file(.htm, .html) or

a Vivotek server script executable (.vspx) file. It can not be a CGI

command. It can not have any extra parameters. This parameter

must be put at end of parameter list)

Return: HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Context-Length: <length>\r\n

Page 48

\r\n <parameter pair> where <parameter pair> is <parameter>=<value>\r\n [<parameter pair>] Only the parameters that you set and readable will be returned.

Example: Set the IP address of server to 192.168.0.123 Request: http://myserver/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi?Network_IPAddress=192.168.0.123

Response: HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Context-Length: 33\r\n \r\n network.ipaddress=192.168.0.123\r\n

Connecting to video server / network camera

Channel

After connecting the video server / network camera, you can drag the camera and drop it in the

video area. If no camera is selected for a channel, the channel number is underlaid grey. If a

camera is selected for a channel, the channel number is shown in blue. This channel is connected

to the video server / network camera. If you have the necessary user privileges, you can now

select this camera and drag it to the video area to display the remote video, and you can also use

other features.

Each channel number is assigned a light signal showing the channel status:

Off

The channel is not connected to a remote video server or a network camera.

Green

Shows that the video server / a network camera is connected to this channel and that the video is

running in the video area.

Orange

Shows that the video on this channel is being saved to the media database. Realtime recording

also takes place without realtime surveillance for the respective channel.

Red

Shows that the connection to the server was unexpectedly interrupted – e.g., by a power failure –

and the monitor software is attempting to reconnect to the server.

Flashing

If the motion detection mechanism is enabled for the video server / network cameras, the light of

the corresponding channel flashes if motion is detected.

Page 93

If you don’t want to monitor a video any more, you can drag it (in the video area) to the trash can

(in the Common control field). The following steps describe the Drag and Drop procedure.

Video display of a specific channel

1. Move the mouse pointer to a channel number.

2. Press the left mouse button and keep it pressed, and drag the mouse pointer to the

display field in the video area. The mouse pointer shows whether the selected object can

be dropped in the selected area.

3. Move the mouse pointer to as area in which you can drop the object (in this case, the

video area) and release the mouse button. In each layout, each channel corresponds to

a single window only in the video area. That means that dragging the channel number to

the display window can be considered as an exchange of channels in the display window.

Therefore each newly selected video replaces the current video in the respective display

field. You can use this feature to exchange channels between the different display

windows. For example, the video of channel 1 is shown in display window X, and the

video of channel 2 in window Y. The channels are exchanged between the display

windows if the video of window X is dragged to window Y and vice versa.

No droppable area

Display frame

Page 95

Similarly, you can drag channels from their current display window to a free display

window. You can perform these functions by a simple drag and drop with the mouse. This

makes customising the layout of the video display for surveillance simple and convenient.

Empty video box

Cursor changed, Video shown

Note: In all layouts, the monitor automatically connects newly inserted channels to free display

windows – i.e., the respective channel is immediately displayed in the layout after the camera

setting dialog box is closed. If you close a connection in a layout manually, this function is

disabled. There is no way of restoring it.

Page 96

Closing a channel in the display window

1. Move the mouse pointer to the display window assigned to the channel you want to

close.

2. The mouse pointer changes to a hand when it is moved to the display window. Press the

left mouse button and keep it pressed.

3. Drag the mouse pointer to the trash can in the Common control field of the monitor tool.

4. Over the trash can, the mouse pointer changes into an arrow. Release the left mouse

button. The video disappears from the respective display window.

Note: Although the channel in the current layout is closed, the network connection still exists. If

the network connection is closed, the monitor cannot know when an event is triggered.

Click and hold the mouse pointer.

Move the cursor here and

release the mouse button.

Page 97

Camera view

There are six ways of showing the display window in the monitor tool. Left-clicking the desired

view activates this view. In any layout, you can select the channel number and move it via Drag

and Drop to any display window of the video area. The video recordings of the corresponding

channel are displayed. As described above, you can insert step by step the videos of the individual

channels in the display window of the video area. You can then swap videos between the various

display windows using the same method.
