Chapter 1. Product Overview

1.1. Network Camera Introduction

Fisheye network camera series are professional network cameras that use Internet

Protocol (IP) to transmit video streams and control signals over networks. Capable

of operating over both LANs and WANs, they provide a complete budget-conscious

remote surveillance solution that are ultra clear and highly integrated. Fisheye

network camera series combine a user-friendly interface and simplified installation

with a powerful feature set to provide users an easy upgrade path to new digital

surveillance system in a virtual environment. These highlights make Fisheye

network camera series ideal choices for environments that require remote

surveillance or video transmission.

1.2. Features and Benefits

Fisheye network camera series IP camera is a cutting-edge digital video

transmission device. It can compress and transmit real-time images of

outstanding quality using a reasonable amount of bandwidth through a standard

TCP/IP network. The following features make this IP camera an outstanding

choice when building an intelligent IP surveillance system:

 High Video Quality

High image quality is essential in security surveillance applications. It is

important to be able to clearly capture an incident in progress and

identify persons or objects involved. A network camera gives exceptional

video quality, even greater than that of traditional analog cameras, which

means that more detail or larger areas can be covered.

 H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG Compression

Motion JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC),

each employ different techniques to reduce the amount of data

transferred and stored in a network video system. Network cameras that

support multiple compression standards are ideal for maximum flexibility

and integration possibilities.

 Dual Streaming

Dual-stream design enables simultaneous support of real-time video

monitoring, video recording, or mobile viewing applications which require

different resolutions, compression formats and frame rates.

 MicroSD/SDHC Card Slot

IP surveillance relies on network connectivity, making it susceptible to

attacks on the network between the camera and recording facilities. With

onboard recording capability, our network cameras can truly be online

24/7. The microSD/SDHC card slot design ensures sufficient recording

capacity for an over-weekend period even at full frame rate and high

resolution.

 Tampering Detection

This is an intelligent video analytics application available only in selected

network cameras in the market. When a camera is manipulated in any way

(e.g. accidental redirection, blocking, defocusing, spray-painted, covered

or damaged), it can automatically trigger recording and alert notifications.

 Power-over-Ethernet

The built-in Power-over-Ethernet support reduces cabling and installation

costs, and enables users to consolidate power facilities for higher

reliability. With PoE, a camera can still operate in the event of a power

failure if it is connected to a centralized backup power with an

Uninterruptible Power Supply.

Notification > Motion Detection.

The motion detection functionality of the camera can be found under Event

Notification> Motion Detection.

Window Settings

Motion detection is activated by checking the Enable Motion Detection box.

Click the Window Settings tab to enter the window configuration, and click

New to add a new detection window. A maximum of 3 motion detection

windows can be added. Each new window will be created with a default

name Window N, where N is the number of the window. After creating the

window, clicking it will select the window. You can drag and resize the

window using your mouse. You can also change the following parameters:

 Window Name - Tthe name of the motion detection window.  Trigger Interval - The time interval between motion triggers. Options

available are: 200 ms , 400 ms, 800 ms, and 1000 ms.

 Trigger Threshold - The percentage change in the window before a

motion alarm is triggered.

 Sensitivity - The sensitivity of the motion box.

Click Save to save all settings. Settings of existing windows can also be

changed by selecting the window and changing the settings. To delete a

window, select a window in and click Remove.

Activity Status Display

The Activity Status Display tab displays the amount of motion detected in a

selected window. By raising the Sensitivity of the window the motion values

for a given motion, which are in shown in yellow, will be higher. When the

motion value reaches or crosses the Trigger Threshold, denoted by the red

line, a motion event will be triggered. Use Activity Status Display to check if

the setting of threshold is reasonable. For smaller motions below the set

number, the motions won’t trigger alarm. Motion alarm handling and

notifications can be configured under Event Settings.

Activate Motion Detection By: Auto/Schedule

 Auto – As long as Enable Motion Detection is checked, an event is

triggered.

 Schedule – Selecting this option allows to manually schedule the

times motion detection will be active. Select the days of the week

that Motion Detection is active by checking the corresponding boxes,

and fill in a start time and end time for motion detection in the From:

It is triggered when it does not receive this input.

 Normal Close – the DI requires a high voltage input (+12V), with the

following configuration.

+12V

It is triggered when it does not receive this input.

 Off - DI inputs are closed at all times. The camera will not respond

to any signals on this DI.

Digital Output

The camera can also be configured to send signals through the digital output.

Each output has a Normal Status:

 High – DO outputs a high voltage when triggered, and is connected

to the output circuit in the following manner:

 Low - DO acts as a ground when triggered, and is connected to the

output circuit in the following manner:

 Off - Closes DO output; no signals will be sent.
