7.4 Streaming Profiles
Dual streaming
Per channel, the unit can take the analogue video signal from the connected camera and
convert it into two independent digital video streams with different video encoding settings.
Streaming profile types
A straightforward method of configuring the encoding settings for a video stream is to use a
factory-set streaming profile - that is, a predefined combination of settings for a specific
application. The unit offers profiles optimised for video storage, PTZ, or high-quality live
viewing, for example. If none of the factory profiles meets your requirements you can create
and save user-defined streaming profiles.
Use a factory-set profile
A factory-set streaming profile defines the settings that the unit will use for the application
indicated by the profile name.
1 Click the camera name at the top of the webpage.
2 Click Stream 1 or Stream 2 to select the stream to assign the streaming profile to.
3 In the Profile list (below the Stream tabs), select the factory profile which is
appropriate for (or comes closest to) the intended purpose.
4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other stream, if necessary.
Factory profile settings
When you select a factory profile, the video stream will be encoded with the settings shown
below the profile list. For several of these settings, the actual value is shown to the right of
the defined value.
19
Camera
Create a custom profile
If the supplied factory-set profiles do not meet your requirements you can create a custom
streaming profile.
1 Click the camera name at the top of the webpage.
2 Click Stream 1 or Stream 2, to select the stream to assign the streaming profile to.
3 In the Profile list, select the factory profile to be used as a basis for the custom profile.
4 Adapt the profile settings to your requirements.
The custom profile is added to the Profile list (User section) as: Factory profile-Copy-
yymmdd.
5 To rename the profile, type a descriptive name into the Name box.
Delete a custom profile
Custom streaming profiles can be deleted (unlike factory-set profiles).
1 In the Profile list, select the profile to be deleted.
2 Click Delete.
3 In the information bar, click Yes, delete to confirm this action.
Name
Indicates the currently selected streaming profile. You can name and rename custom
streaming profiles. The names of the factory-set profiles cannot be changed.
Encoder type
Depending on the application, select the video encoding method that is to be used to
compress the video signal.
Frame rate
Here you can set the number of video frames per second for the video transmission. Range:
1-25 fps (PAL); 1-30 fps (NTSC).
GOP size
Determines the distance in frames between two I-frames.
Maximum bit rate
Here you can set the maximum bit rate allowed for the video transmission. You can use this
setting to control the network load. The actual bit rate is shown to the right of the text box.
This value is dynamically updated with the current bit rate to provide feedback on the bit rate
that is used on average with the current Maximum quality setting.
Maximum quality
Generally speaking: the higher the Maximum quality setting, the lower the compression ratio
and the more bits are consumed. This means a trade-off has to be found between the desired
quality level and available bandwidth. When configuring these settings it is good to keep the
following in mind.
● If the configured Maximum quality cannot be achieved with the currently set Maximum bit
rate, the actual quality will be lower. The actual quality percentage is shown real-time to
the right of the configured Maximum quality.
● The actual quality level will never exceed the configured Maximum quality, even if the
Maximum bit rate should allow it.
Resolution
Indicates the number of pixels that can be displayed in each dimension (width x height). See
the table below for supported resolutions.

Traffic shaping
Traffic shaping sets the maximum network bit rate per encoder. Traffic shaping will spread
network traffic bursts which helps the network infrastructure handle the traffic. In its turn,
however, traffic shaping will increase the latency.
● With traffic shaping set to Off, the stream is transmitted with minimum latency but with
bursty network traffic.
● With traffic shaping set to Low, Medium or High, the network traffic is more evenly spread
out in time, but the latency will increase.
Parameter value combinations
When you create a custom streaming profile, set sensible combinations of Frame rate, GOP
size, Maximum bit rate, Maximum long term bit rate, Maximum quality, and Resolution. If in
doubt about the effects of specific encoder settings, you are advised to select the factory-set
profile offering the closest match to your required application.
Use Quad view
To see live video from the S-64 E v2, you can use a web browser or video viewing software.
In a browser, the Live Stream page presents the four camera views arranged in quad layout.
For closer viewing, you can select an individual camera. Likewise, if you use viewing software
to extract video, you can request a quad view RTSP stream or open a separate RTSP stream
per channel. Note that the unit's Quad view function is disabled by default.
1 On the Quad view tab, click Enable.
2 Configure the encoding settings as needed.
3 In your viewing application, specify the URL containing the IP address of the S-64 E v2.
4 Add "/quad" after the IP address.
For example: rtsp://10.50.3.72/quad
On successful connection, the S-64 E v2 quad view is streamed to your application.
Tip: Depending on the chosen settings, the overall performance will be reduced when the
quad view stream is enabled. To prevent reduced frame rate or increased latency, it is
recommended to set any unused streams to low resolution and low frame rate.

Note: Make sure that the FTP server settings are configured correctly when you select "FTP
image ..." as a trigger action.
Delete an event
1 Select the check box of the event you wish to delete.
2 Click Delete event.
8.2 Connection Monitor
The Connection Monitor function can monitor the network connection between the unit and a
target host on the network. The unit pings the remote machine - that is, sends data packets
to it, at intervals of 15 seconds to determine if the remote machine is accessible and
responding.
Edge recording
To prevent loss of video when the connection to a central network video recorder or VMS
system is lost, recorded video clips can be stored on the microSD card inside the edge device.
From the Edge Recording page, the clips can then be downloaded for further processing.
25
Event
Steps
Setting up the unit to record video to the SD card when a ping request times out without a
response involves the following steps:
● On the Recording page, check the SD card status.
● On the Event Management page, add a "Connection # lost" trigger and link a "Start
recording of Camera #" action.
● On the Connection Monitor page, set up and enable the Connection Monitor to monitor the
connection to the VMS/NVR.
Set up the connection monitor
1 In IP address, type the IP address of the remote machine that is to be pinged.
2 Click Enable to activate the monitor.
The connectivity status is given as "Connection present" or "Connection lost".
"Connection present" indicates that the remote machine responds to the ping
requests.
"Connection lost" indicates a network failure.
Connection loss
Detection of a connection loss to a device at a monitored IP address triggers the following:
● Edge recording starts at the first lost ping.
Important: Recording does not start if the device at the specified IP address has not
been detected previously. In other words, recording is only possible for devices which
have acknowledged their presence on the network at least once by responding to ping
messages. This is to prevent unintended recording to the microSD card.
● The connection loss is reported in the Connection Monitor page: "Connection lost".
● The associated video clip appears in the Available clips section on the Edge Recording page
with clip status shown as 'Recording'.
● Edge recording continues until the device becomes responsive to ping messages again that is, on the next received ping.
8.3 Digital I/O
The number of digital I/O channels that is provided depends on the model of your encoder
(see the table below). Each of the I/O pins can function as a digital input or a digital output
(but not simultaneously).
Product Digital I/O channels
EVE ONE 2
EVE FOUR 8
EVE 4x4 4x8
S-60 E v2 4
S-64 E v2 8
On the Digital I/O page, you can set the mode for each pin.
1 In the Mode column, click the required cell.

On the Event Management page, you can add events triggered by "I/O # closed" and define
actions to be taken when such events occur.
8.4 FTP Push
On the Event Management page, events can be set to trigger an FTP push. When such an
event occurs, the unit posts a camera image on one or two FTP servers. A target server must
hold a user account associated with the unit. If you assign two servers, images are posted
simultaneously to FTP server 1 and FTP server 2.
Set up the FTP server connection
1 Select the Enable check box of Send to this server.
2 In IP address, type the IP address of the FTP server you want to use.
3 In Port, type the port number to be used.
The FTP protocol typically uses port 21 on the FTP server to listen for clients initiating a
connection. Port 21 is also where the server is listening for commands issued to it.
4 In Name, type the user name that is needed for authentication before you can access
the server.
5 In Password, type the password that is needed for authentication before you can
access the server.
6 (Optional) Repeat steps 1-5 for the second FTP server.
On the Camera-# tab, you can set the path to an FTP server and configure settings for
continuous posting.
Server path
In the Server path box, type the name of the folder on the FTP server which is assigned to the
FTP client. Example: \Captures\Cam-1. This can be used if the client is not allowed to access
the server root folder.
Click Test FTP settings to make sure that the server path has been set correctly. A message
in the top of the screen will indicate if the camera has been able to make a connection with
the FTP server or not.
Continuous posting
Image upload to an FTP server can be event-triggered but you can also set it to be
continuous.
1 In Interval, type a value to determine the interval between two image posts.
2 In File name, type a descriptive name or accept the default name.
With the append button you can add extra information to the file name.
3 To activate continuous posting, select Enable.

9 Recording
The unit provides edge recording. This function makes it possible to record and store video
locally - that is, at the unit itself. Recorded video clips are stored on the microSD card inside
the unit. From the Edge Recording page, the clips can be downloaded for further processing.
In This Chapter
9.1 Camera-#............................................................................................................28
9.2 SD Card...............................................................................................................29
9.3 NAS recording...................................................................................................... 30
9.1 Camera-#
Record
Use the stream list at the top of the page to select Stream 1 or Stream 2 for recording.
Recording types
Two types of edge recording are available:
● Continuous recording
● Event-triggered recording
Recording source
Each camera input has multiple streams. In the Recording source list, select the stream to
be recorded.
Recording destination
Recordings can be stored either on an SD card or a configured NAS server. In the Recording
destination list, select the desired storage medium.
Continuous recording
Selecting Enable activates continuous recording of the chosen video stream to the microSD
card. Recording continues until you clear the check box to disable the function.
Important: Be aware that recording in continuous mode for extended periods of time will
wear out the flash memory of your microSD card prematurely.
Event-triggered recording
Unlike 24-hour recording by an NVR or VMS, event-triggered recordings are typically short
recordings. Start and stop times for the recordings are triggered by specific external events.
On the Event Management page, you can link a "Start recording" action to triggers such as:
● a lost connection to an NVR or VMS
● camera tampering
● a closed I/O contact
● motion detection
● image quality issues
28
Recording
● signal loss
● audio level rising above a threshold
Note: If you set connection loss as a trigger you also need to set up the Connection Monitor
to monitor the connection.
Persistent recording
Recording to the microSD card is persistent. This means that powering the unit off and on
does not erase the existing recordings on the microSD card. Be aware, though, that the oldest
recordings will be overwritten by new recordings when the card is 90% full.
Available clips
Details about clips can be found in the Available clips section.
● Clips with recording status 'Recording' or 'Ready' are available for download in .avi format.
● Clips include 30 seconds of prerecorded video and five seconds of postrecorded video. The
prerecording mechanism is active at all times.
● Clip file size will not exceed 500 MB. If a recording requires more storage capacity,
multiple clips are created.
Download a clip
1 In the Available clips section, click the clip's Ready or Recording status indication.
The file is saved to the designated folder on your PC.
2 In the information bar, click Open or Show in folder.
Clip names are created automatically using UTC date/time information.
Note: Downloading a clip to your PC does not remove the clip from the microSD card. You
can delete clips manually on the Edge Recording page (see below).

SD card usage
We advise to use high-grade, highly-durable microSD cards. Note that microSD cards are
limited to the number of write cycles ranging from 200 (off-the-shelf TLC NAND) to 100.000
(4 GB industrial SLC NAND). Intensive usage will eventually wear out the card.
The number of write cycles times the capacity of the microSD card gives you the total amount
of data that can be written to the card in its life time. A 32 GB microSDHC with 2000 write
cycles, for example, can write 64 TB before it should be replaced.
Card status
Indicates the status of the SD card. Possible statuses are:
● Not present
No SD card is found.
● Not recognized
The SD card found is not recognized by the camera.
● OK
The SD card is present and recognized.
● Error
There is an unknown error with the SD card.
● Formatting
The SD card is currently being formatted.
● Retrieving
The SD card is currently being retrieved.
Card size
Indicates the total storage capacity of the SD card. The diagram indicates how much of the

that can be set by the user. After clicking either of the options the unit restarts and is
unresponsive for 30 seconds.
● If you need to keep the current network configuration, click Keep network settings.
● If you want a complete reset which restores all device settings, including the IP address
and subnet mask, to their original, default values, click Discard network settings.
Warning: "Discard network settings" restores the unit to the factory-set IP address. This
could make the unit unreachable for in-band communications. In that case the webpages
are accessible only by moving a PC to the same subnet as the unit.
Create a backup file
It is possible to back up the settings of the unit, so that you can restore them if a problem
should occur.
1 Click Create backup file.
The backup file is saved to the designated folder on your PC.
File name convention: yymmdd-backup.tar
2 Store the file in a safe location (designated for backups, for example).

The unit becomes unresponsive for some 30 seconds while the backup is restored.
10.2 Network
For correct functioning of the unit, its network settings must be compatible with the network
to which it is added. On the Network page, you can set a static IP address or enable DHCP to
have an IP address assigned dynamically.
33
Device
Important: On the S-64 E v2, DHCP is disabled by default. The unit is initially accessible
through the factory-set IP address which can be found on a sticker on the unit. This is also
the IP address to which the unit reverts when you reset it to the factory-defaults discarding
the network settings. On EVE encoders, DHCP is enabled by default.
After you make changes on this page, the unit must be restarted for the changes to take
effect. While restarting, the unit is unresponsive for 30 seconds.
Host name
Identifies the unit on the network. You can set the host name on the Device Management
page.
HTTP port
The port used for connections over HTTP. Default: port 80.
HTTPS port
The port used for secure communication over the network. Default: port 443.
Use DHCP
By default, DHCP is enabled. With DHCP enabled, the unit dynamically requests an IP address
and other networking parameters from a DHCP server on the network. There are two possible
outcomes.
● A DHCP server is found and an IP address is assigned from its pool of addresses.
The unit can then be found with Device Manager - a software tool available for download
at siqura.com/downloads/software. You can use this tool to connect to the web interface of
the unit.
● No DHCP server is found.
The unit then reverts to its factory-set IP address. This is the same IP address as that
found on the sticker on the housing of the camera. To get access to the web interface,
take the following steps:
1. Set the network adapter of a browsing PC to the factory-default subnet of the unit.
2. Connect the unit to the PC.
3. From a browser on the PC, open the web interface of the unit and go to the Network
page.
4. Configure the network settings as needed.
It is also possible to request a time server address via DHCP. You can activate this function on
the Date & Time page.
MTU size
This value is set to 1500 (Ethernet) by default. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the
maximum size (in bytes) of an IP packet that can be transmitted over the network without
dividing it into pieces. You can use the (default) values on the list or type a custom value. An
MTU size that you specify here must be supported on the other side of the link.
Use a static IP address
Instead of using an IP address assigned by DHCP you can set a static IP address.
1 Clear the DHCP check box.
2 Type the new network settings in the appropriate boxes.
34
Device
IP address
The factory-set IP address of the unit is in the 10.x.x.x range with a 255.0.0.0 subnet mask.
Achieving initial communication with the unit requires that the network adapter of the
browsing PC is set to the factory-default subnet of the unit. Having made the web interface
accessible in this way, you can use the Network page to change the default network settings
to the desired settings.
For IP address input to be valid, the IP address of the unit:
● must be within the 10.0.0.1 ~ 223.255.255.254 range.
● cannot start with 127 (reserved for loopback on local host).
Subnet mask
Used to subdivide the IP network for security or performance purposes.
Default gateway
The IP address of the network node (router) which serves as the entry point and exit point to
the network.
Preferred DNS
The IP address of the DNS server that will be used first for DNS name resolution.
Alternate DNS
The IP address of the server which will be used as the secondary DNS server.
Services
On the Services tab of the Network page, you can enable or disable the unit's RTSP, ONVIF,
MX, and UPnP services as needed. For more information, see the service descriptions below.
RTSP
The unit implements an RTSP server. A hardware or software decoder (the latter within a
viewing application, for example) is the RTSP client. Media sessions between client and server
are established and controlled with RTSP. Media stream delivery itself is handled by the RealTime Transport Protocol (RTP). Select the RTSP check box to enable RTSP streaming.
RTSP port
The port number used for RTSP media sessions. Default port: 554.
ONVIF
Enables the ONVIF service on the unit. The ONVIF specification ensures interoperability
between products regardless of manufacturer. It defines a common protocol for the exchange
of information between network video devices including automatic device discovery and video
streaming. The unit fully supports the ONVIF standard. It has been tested to support ONVIF
Profile S.
ONVIF Discovery
Makes the unit discoverable for ONVIF clients. Clear this check box if you prefer to disable
discovery. In that case, the unit can still be controlled from ONVIF clients that "know" of its
existence.
MX
Select this check box if you need to establish MX connections. MX/IP is a proprietary UDP
protocol used to communicate with Siqura equipment over a network connection.
35
Device
UPnP
If enabled, UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows the unit to advertise its presence and
services to control points on the network. A control point can be a network device with
embedded UPnP, a VMS application or a spy software tool, such as Device Spy. With the UPnP
service enabled in Windows, you can connect to the unit from Windows Explorer.
10.3 Date & Time
The date and time on S-6x E v2 units can be set manually or you can use a time server. The
S-6x E v2 encoders have a battery-supported real-time clock. When you reboot this unit, the
correct date and time information is retained. EVE encoders do not include a battery. They
need to be connected to a time server.
Manual date and time setting
1 Clear the Use time server check box.
2 Click the Date & Time button.
3 Make your adjustments in the Date and Time boxes.
Format
The date and time are displayed in fixed format in the web interface - that is, yyyy-mm-dd and
hh:mm:ss. On the Overlays page, you can select an alternative format for text overlays.
Time zone
Set the local zone depending on the physical location of the unit.
Adjust automatically for DST
The unit can adjust the time automatically for daylight saving time (DST).
1 Select Adjust automatically for DST.
2 Use To daylight saving time and To standard time to set the appropriate start and
end details.
The unit will automatically adjust at the given dates and times.
The table below gives DST change information. Note that these dates and times are
subject to change. Refer to http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst or similar websites

Device
Use a time server
We strongly recommend that you use a time server. Without a time server, the real-time
clock will deviate from the actual time after a few days. There are two options for specifying
which time server is to be used.
● The time server IP address can be obtained via DHCP.
● The time server IP address can be set manually. This can be the address of an NTP server
or that of a Video Management System (VMS) with time server functionality, such as VDG
Sense
Obtain time server from DHCP
It is possible to have the IP address of a time server included in the settings received through
DHCP. Using this function requires that DHCP is enabled on the Network page (see
"Network" on page 33).
Note: Since DHCP is disabled by default on the S-64 E v2, the Obtain time server from
DHCP function is also disabled by default.
Time server address
Here you can set the address of a time server.
1 To activate this function, clear the Obtain time server from DHCP check box.
2 In the Time server address box, type the IP address or the name of the time server.
Identifying the time server through its name requires the presence of a DNS server to
translate the name into an IP address. The DNS server IP address can be included in the
DHCP settings or you can set it on the Network page (see "Network" on page 33).
Time service query interval
Indicates the time interval, in minutes, used by the camera to retrieve the current time from
the time server.
10.4 Security
Via the Security page, Administrators can install security certificates to enable secure
connections between the unit and web browsers. It is also possible to activate authentication
for users who want to start an RTSP video stream or extract JPEG snapshot images.
Authentication for camera viewing
This function is disabled by default. Users can freely connect to the unit over RTSP and extract
a video stream that it is generating. This may be undesirable from a security perspective.
Therefore, it is possible to restrict access to the unit to users with a valid account.
Administrators can create and delete user accounts via User Management.
● Select Enable.
On attempting to open an RTSP connection, users are now asked to provide a user name
and password.
Secure connections
With HTTPS implemented and activated, a safe exchange of data between the unit and a web
browser is ensured. Information transported over the network - for example, device settings
and user credentials - is encrypted to protect it against intrusions and infections that can
compromise the security and privacy of the information.
37
Device
Certificates
To implement HTTPS on the unit, you need to install an HTTPS certificate. You can use a selfsigned certificate or one created by a Certificate Authority (CA). CA-issued certificates provide
a higher level of security and inspire more trust than self-signed certificates. Self-signed
certificates are often installed for test purposes or as a temporary solution until a CA-issued
certificate has been obtained.
Certificate information
The following information must be provided to create a certificate.
Item Description
Country The country where the certificate is to be used
Country code Two-letter country code
Days until expiration The valid period (in days) of the certificate. Default: 365
State/Province The administrative region in which the organisation is located
Common name The name of the entity to be certified by the certificate
City City where the organisation is based
Email The contact email address
Organisation The name of the organisation which owns the entity specified in
the "Common name" box
Organisation unit The name of the organisational unit which owns the entity
specified in the "Common name" box
Important: Make sure that the Common name that you specify matches the URL that is
used to access the webpages of the unit. Generally, this is its IP address.
Install a self-signed certificate
1 Enter the required information as described above.
2 Click Create self-signed certificate.
The certificate is created and installed.
Install a CA-issued certificate

10.6 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used to monitor the unit for
conditions or events which require administrative attention. Via SNMP, several status variables
can be read and traps can be generated on events.
The SNMP Agent is MIB-2 compliant and supports versions 1 and 2c of the SNMP protocol.
Note: The unit includes SNMP support for its Image Quality monitor and Tamper Detect
functions. A trap is sent when bad image quality or camera tampering is detected and
another one when the situation returns to normal.
Required MIB files can be downloaded at siqura.com/downloads/software.
System information
This section shows the network/device data specifically made available to the SNMP manager
for making the device, its location and service manager(s) traceable.
1 In the Contact box, type the name of the service manager.
2 In the Node name box, type the host name of the unit.
3 In the Location box, type the name of the physical location of the unit.
Communities
The community strings (names which can be regarded as passwords) in the Communities
section must conform to those configured in the SNMP manager. Often, these are 'public',
mainly used for the read and trap communities, and 'private' or 'netman', for read-write
operations. The manager program may offer additional choices.
40
Device
Traps
An alarm status change in the unit generates a trap which can be caught by any SNMP
manager. The unit can, for example, send traps on the occurrence of Image Quality and
Camera Tampering events. Variables, which can be read from the unit's MIB through an SNMP
manager, indicate why the alarm occurred. The OPTC-VCA-MIB required for this can be
downloaded, together with the other MIBs for the unit, at siqura.com/downloads/software.
1 In the Version list, click the SNMP version used.
2 In the IP Address box, type the IP address associated with the manager program.
3 In the Port box, type the destination port number.
Default: 162.
Note: Version, IP Address, and Port are required fields.
4 In the Alternate IP Address box, if desired, type an alternative destination IP address.
5 In the Alternate Port box, if desired, type an alternative destination port number.
6 If desired, select Enable to activate Authentication trap.
This adds an authentication trap to catch attempts at access using the wrong community
string.

12.3 Quality Monitor................................................................................................... 45
12.1 Motion Detection
Motion detection enables the user to define a portion of the screen and to detect picture
changes there. These changes could be caused by motion or varying lighting, for example.
Set up motion detection
The Motion Detection function enables the unit to trigger an alarm when motion in a specified
area of the field of view - that is, the Region of Interest (ROI), reaches or exceeds a
configured sensitivity threshold value.
1 In the upper-right corner, click Activate Motion Detection.
The button turns green and the Draw ROI button appears.
Drawing a ROI is optional. If you do not need a ROI, proceed to step 4. In that case, the
entire field of view becomes the ROI.
2 Click Draw ROI.
3 Drag the mouse pointer across the preview to draw the Region of Interest (ROI).
If the ROI is not the correct size or in the wrong place you can repeat steps 2 and 3.
4 Drag the Alarm level slider to set the sensitivity of the detection.
Local change is only detected if its level exceeds the defined value (indicated by the red
horizontal line). The Alarm level setting can be used to eliminate unwanted ('false')
triggering (for example, caused by background noise or constant local movement). You
may need to try out several alarm levels to achieve the best detection.
5 If required, go to the Event Management page and add an event with motion detection
as an event trigger.
Deactivate motion detection
You can (temporarily) deactivate motion detection.
● Click Deactivate Motion Detection.
The Motion Detection button turns red and the ROI is hidden. Clicking the button once
again reactivates motion detection using the same ROI.

Analytics
12.2 Tampering
As a result of tampering, or more accidentally, after cleaning, a camera may no longer cover
the area designated for monitoring. The Tampering function can detect camera position
changes and scene changes such as a blocked camera view. It does so by comparing the
current image to one or more reference images that were captured and stored earlier.
Set up tamper detection (EVE encoders)
Tamper detection needs a reference image for comparison with the current image.
1 Click Activate Tamper Detection.
The button turns green and reference image learning starts. Progress is indicated by a
progress bar.
Once created, the reference image is displayed as an overlay over the current image.
Detection starts immediately.
When the camera scene or position is changed, a warning is displayed: "Camera has
been tampered with!!!".
2 If required, go to the Events Management page, add an event with a "Camera #
tampering detected" trigger, and then define the subsequent action.
3 To delete the current reference image, click Deactivate Tamper Detection.
Clicking Activate Tamper Detection once more will create a new reference image.
Set up tamper detection (S-60/S-64 E v2)
The Tamper Detection function enables the unit to trigger an alarm when camera position
changes or scene changes are detected in a specified area of the field of view, that is, the
Region of Interest ROI). Tamper detection needs a reference image for comparison with the
current image.
1 Click Activate Tamper Detection.
The button turns green and additional buttons appear.
2 If the selected camera is a PTZ camera, click Select to open the PTZ preset list in the
lower-left corner, and then click the PTZ preset for which you want to create a reference
image.
Drawing a ROI is optional. If you do not need a ROI, proceed to step 5. In that case, the
entire field of view becomes the ROI.
3 Click Draw ROI.
4 Drag the mouse pointer across the preview to draw the Region of Interest (ROI).
This defines the area which will be monitored for changes.
5 Click Add reference image.
The reference image is created. Progress is indicated by a progress bar.
Once created, the reference image appears as an overlay with a green border.
6 Click Show reference images.
7 Click the new reference image, type a name in the Name box, and then close the
dialogue box.
8 To create more reference images, repeat steps 2-7 as needed.
Detection starts immediately.
When the camera scene or position is changed, a warning is displayed: "Camera has
been tampered with!!!" and the reference image border goes from green to red.
9 If required, go to the Events Management page (see "Event" on page 25), add an event
with a "Camera # tampering detected" trigger, and then define the subsequent action.
10 To delete a reference image, click Show reference images, point to the image to be
deleted, and then click the Recycle button.

Analytics
12.3 Quality Monitor
The Quality Monitor can detect if images produced by the camera are still usable. Four
coloured dials give an indication of the performance of the camera and show whether or not it
needs attention. A quality check is made against what is normally a good picture.
Examples of detectable occurrences
● The camera is in focus during sunny days, but out of focus in low light situations.
● The initial daytime camera position seemed OK, but streetlights and spot lights affect the
image during nighttime.
● The lens has got dirty.
● The iris control has got stuck.
● Camera failure occurs.
Measurements
The Quality Monitor can measure the contrast level, exposure, SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio)
and picture detail. The four measurements are enabled by default. The camera health is being
measured continuously.
State Description
Error state
Hysteresis: the area where the alarm output is either
"true" or "false" depending on the preceding alarm state
Correct performance
On the Event Management page, you can add events triggered by various image quality
states, such as "... image too bright", "... contrast too low", or "... detail too low", and then
define actions to be taken when a specific state occurs.

13.1 Direct Streaming
On the Direct Streaming page you can enter IP settings for direct streaming to a unicast or
multicast IP address.
Multicast
The unit supports IP multicast. This is a method for 'one-to-many' real-time communication
over an IP network. The technique can be used to send media streams from an IP camera or a
video encoder to a group of interested receivers in a single transmission. The intermediary
network switches and routers replicate the data packets to reach the multiple receivers on the
network. The switches and other network devices used must be carefully configured for, and
capable of handling multicasting and its associated protocols (most notably IGMP).
SAP
The unit includes a SAP announcer. The Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) is used to
advertise that a media stream generated by the unit is available at a specific multicast
address and port. SAP listening applications can listen to the announcements and use the
information to construct a guide of all advertised sessions. This guide can be used to select
and start a particular session. The SAP announcer is not aware of the presence or absence of
SAP listeners.
1 In IP address, type the multicast destination IP address for the announcements and
media streams.
Range: 224.2.128.0 ~ 224.2.255.255.
2 In Port, type the destination port number.
Default: 1024. Use even numbers only.
3 Select Enable.
Session announcements and media streams will now be sent to the given IP address.
The media stream can be identified through the Program name which is made up of the
camera name and stream number.
46
Advanced
Direct Streaming
The unit supports direct media streaming to a multicast or unicast IP address (a decoder or
viewing application, for example).
1 In IP address, type the destination IP address.
2 In Port, type the destination port number.
Default: 50010. Use even numbers only.
3 Select Enable.
Audio and data streaming
Per camera, you can set up direct streaming of audio and data (if supported by the unit).
Specify the appropriate destination/source IP addresses and port numbers, and then select
Enable to activate Direct Streaming.
Quad view
On the Quad view tab of the S-64 E v2, you can configure settings for Quad view streaming
using RTSP Multicast or Direct Streaming. Note that Audio, Data, and SAP settings are not
available. For more information about Quad view streaming, see also Camera > Streaming
Profiles > Quad view.
13.2 Data
PTZ commands over TCP
The unit supports the streaming of PTZ data over TCP using a client/server connection. The
TCP connection is bidirectional.
1 In the Listening on port box, specify the port on which the server listens for incoming
TCP connections.
Range: [0 ... 65535]. Default: 1024.
2 To activate this function, select Enable.
Bit rate
Determines the speed of the digital transmission - that is, the amount of information
transferred/processed per unit of time.
TX/RX
The TX and RX indicators next to the Bit rate setting are highlighted in green when data is
transmitted (TX) or received (RX) via the serial port.
Word length
Determines the number of bits that is transferred in a single operation.
Stop bits
Indicates the end of a data character to enable the receiver to resynchronise with the stream.
Parity mode
Enables the sending of an extra bit with each data character for error detection purposes.
Wire mode
The RX-4xx interface type on the data connector is set in software. Select the required type in
the Wire mode list.
47
Advanced
Biasing
If biasing is needed, it should be enabled on at least one module on the bus.
Termination
Normally, the devices at the two extremes of a bus are terminated, while intermediate devices
are not. Therefore: RS-422, always enable (being point-to-point); RS-485, enable only for the
first and last module connected to the bus configuration.

14.7 Video issues....................................................................................................... 51
14.8 Webpage issues.................................................................................................. 52
14.1 Date & Time issues
No time server active!
Cause: Obtain Time server from DHCP is enabled, but on the Network page DHCP is
disabled.
Solution: Open the Network page and enable DHCP or set the Time server address
manually on the Date & Time page.
Cause: The Time server address is set manually but the address cannot be reached.
Solution: Verify the Time server address. If the address is specified as a name, a DNS
server must be available. Open the Network page and check the Preferred DNS and
Alternate DNS addresses.
14.2 FTP issues
Unable to upload to FTP server
Cause: The FTP server does not hold a user account associated with your encoder.
Solution: Request a user account from the FTP server.
14.3 Logon issues
Unable to log on
Cause: Incorrect user name or password. User name and password are case sensitive.
Solution: Supply correct user name and password.
49
Troubleshooting
Cause: Unknown user.
Solution: Request Administrator to create a user account.
Use the reset button
If you have forgotten your Admin password or are otherwise locked out of your video encoder
you can regain access by using the reset button on the front panel of the unit.
1 Insert a straightened paper clip into the reset button hole which is located:
- to the left of the VIDEO IN BNC connector (EVE ONE).
- below the Digital I/O connector (EVE FOUR).
- to the right of the Digital I/O connector (EVE 4x4).
- to the left of the Digital I/O connector (S-60/S-64 E v2).
2 Keep the reset button depressed for at least three seconds.
This erases the upgrade firmware (if present) in the upgrade image area.
The unit will revert to its factory-set network settings.
3 Use the IP address found on the sticker on the unit to access the webpages.
14.4 Network issues
No network connection between the unit and the browsing PC
Cause: Physical network issue(s).
Solution: Verify that all network devices are properly connected and powered up. Follow the
cables, make sure they are plugged into the correct connectors, and check every connector
thoroughly.
Cause: Network configuration issue(s). To establish an IP connection, the unit and the
browsing PC must be on the same subnet. EVE encoders request an IP address via DHCP by
default. If no server is found, the unit reverts to its factory-set IP address in the 10.x.x.x
range. On S-64 E v2 units, DHCP is disabled by default.
Solution: Install Device Manager (available for download at siqura.com/downloads/software)
on the browsing PC. Scan the network with Device Manager. If the unit is not detected, set
the network adapter of the PC to the factory-set subnet of the unit. The IP address is printed
on a sticker on the unit. Use Device Manager or a browser to access the unit from the PC, and
then modify its network configuration as needed.
Cause: Security issue(s). The connection is blocked by a firewall.
Solution: Check if there is a firewall on the PC or on the network which is blocking the
connection. Contact your system or network administrator for assistance, if necessary.
14.5 PTZ issues
No PTZ control from Live Stream page
Cause: The connected camera has no PTZ functionality.
Solution: Connect a PTZ camera.
Cause: The active PTZ driver is not compatible with the connected camera.
Solution: On the PTZ page, select a driver which is supported by the camera. Required
drivers can be uploaded to your video encoder if necessary.
50
Troubleshooting
14.6 Upgrade issues
Successful upgrades are reported as "Successfully upgraded to version ...". In the event of an
unsuccessful upgrade, the following error messages may help you pinpoint the cause of the
problem.
Upgrade procedure already in progress
Cause: The unit received multiple upgrade requests at approximately the same time.
However, only one request can be handled at a time. The later request receives this error
message.
Solution: Issue one upgrade request at a time and wait for the unit to respond.
Invalid firmware file
Cause: The unit performs a number of checks to determine the validity of the file. If it finds
problems with the file, such as the file not being a firmware file with .sqrfw extension, it
displays this error message.
Solution: Use a firmware file with .sqrfw extension.
Device hardware is incompatible
Cause: If the image identifier of the hardware does not match the image identifier of the
firmware file, this error message indicates that the selected firmware file is not intended for
the unit. In that case, the upgrade procedure is terminated. The fixed image and the upgrade
image stay in the memory of the unit. After a reboot, the unit runs the same image as
before the reboot.
Solution: Use a firmware file which is compatible with the unit.
Firmware file is corrupt
Cause: The firmware file contains a CRC error. When this error occurs, the unit reboots
automatically and restarts with the fixed image.
Solution: Download and install usable firmware.
Rule validation failed
Cause: The firmware file is not suitable for this particular device.
Solution: Upgrade with firmware intended for this unit.
Failed to write firmware to flash
Cause: The firmware file is streamed directly into flash. Various errors may occur while
writing the firmware to flash. There may be connection loss, for example, or a reboot during
the upgrade procedure. If any such error occurs, the unit reboots automatically and restarts
with the fixed image.
Solution: Prevent a loss of connection or a reboot during the upgrade procedure. Do not
leave the Device Management page or close your browser.
14.7 Video issues
Frames are being dropped
Cause: On multichannel units, the four encoders can simultaneously handle video encoding at
full frame rate at 960H resolution. It is not recommended, however, to generate eight video
streams at 960H. This may overtax the hardware and lead to frames being dropped.
51
Troubleshooting
Solution: Set a lower resolution for one or more video streams and disable the quad view
stream if not needed.
Frame rate drops
Cause: On multichannel units, the four encoders can simultaneously handle video encoding at
full frame rate at 960H resolution. It is not recommended, however, to generate eight video
streams at 960H. This may overtax the hardware and lead to drops in frame rate (see the
actual frame rate measurement).
Solution: Set a lower resolution for one or more video streams and disable the quad view
stream if not needed.
Corrupted video stream, visible smears or stuttering video
Cause: Not all data is received by the receiver due to network congestion.
Solution: Make sure there is enough bandwidth available in the network for the stream to be
transported from the camera or encoder to the receiver. You can also reduce any overload
caused by peak traffic from the encoder. To do this, set the Traffic Shaping to a higher value.
See Camera > Streaming Profiles > Stream > Traffic shaping.
14.8 Webpage issues
The built-in webpages are displayed incorrectly in your web browser
Cause: The unit supports only recent web browser versions.
Solution: Only use the latest two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari.
Cause: JavaScript is not enabled in your web browser.
Solution: Open the Privacy (or Security settings) of your web browser and enable JavaScript
(Active scripting).
