2.3 Connection

2.3.1 Default IP address

Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first. The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.0.30 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0. However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit would obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you don’t need to change the camera’s IP address. But be sure to enable DHCP in "Network Settings".

2.3.2 Connecting from a computer & Viewing Preparation

Connecting from a computer

1. Make sure the unit and your computer are in the same subnet.

2. Check whether if the networking available between the unit and the computer by executing ping the

default IP address. To do this, simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the Start Menu, select Program. Then select Accessories and choose Command Prompt.), and type “Ping 192.168.0.30”. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.

3. Start a browser e.g. Internet Explorer and enter IP address: 192.168.0.30. A login window should pop up.

In the window, enter the default user name: admin and password: 1234 to log in. Further administration on the unit can be found in “3. Administration and Configuration".

Codec

 Edit Profiles & Streams:

Basically, this unit offers two choices of video codec for real-time viewing: H.264 or MJPEG. By default, there are up to 6 profiles, which have own respective sub settings including Resolution, Codec, Frame Rate, GOP Length, QoS (DSCP) Codepoint, Rate Control and Bit Rate, can be chosen. And each profile contains up to 3 streams arrangement depending on your settings: Stream1, Stream2, and Stream3, which can be configured separately to send video signals for simultaneous triple streams with optimized quality and bandwidth based on your network environment. After setting up, please be sure to click “Save” to have the desired settings take effect.

 Current Profile: To choose one of the 6 profiles for implementing, click “Save Profile” after selecting.  Edit Profile: Select one of 6 profiles for editing the sub options.

For more details in terms of sub settings under Codec, please refer to the tables listed below.

Description

Video Codec

MJPEG

H.264

MJPEG: Each video frame is individually compressed as single jpeg image with full-scale contents itself and can be retouched freely with ease. However, due to completeness of each frame, it brings about larger file size and thus easily tends to lose frames under limited network bandwidth. H.264: The latest best-renowned video compression format, it adopts intelligent technology to record variation in each frame rather than record each full frame. As a result, less network bandwidth it requires and file size is prone to be smaller compared with MJPEG.

Frame Rate (fps)

NTSC: 1~30

PAL: 1~25

The utmost fps settings for 2 systems varies as the following: NTSC: H.264 single stream: 2592×1944@12fps; H.264/MJPEG single stream: 2048×1536@15fps; H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1920×1080 to 320x180@30fps PAL: H.264 single stream: 2592×1944@12fps; H.264/MJPEG single stream: 2048×1536@15fps; H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1920×1080 to 320x180@25fps

GOP (Group Of Pictures) Length

NTSC: 1~60

PAL: 1~50

Select the GOP length number from NTSC: 1 to 60 / PAL: 1 to

50. Less number means the distance between 2 I-frames is smaller, which needs more network bandwidth with better image. By contrast, larger number consumes less bandwidth but is hard to be recovered. The available length number options of GOP will vary based on frame rate settings.

QoS (DSCP) Codepoint

0 ~ 63

To classify and manage network traffic and provide quality of service (QoS) on modern IP networks, Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a computer networking architecture that specifies a resource allocation to each device on a priority-based pattern for ideal bandwidth

management. The bigger value, the higher priority it will be.

Profile

Main High

There’re 2 kinds of profiles for H.264 codec and the compression ratio with protocol for each type are different. Users may choose a proper one for desired applications or contact IT personnel for more information.

Bit Rate Control

CBR: Constant Bit Rate

VBR: Variable Bit Rate

Choose the bit rate control selection based on user requirements. Higher bit rate values will result in better quality with bigger file size and thus consume more network bandwidth. CBR stands for constant mode with certain fixed rate by user definition, while VBR means variable mode in which users can set a range of upper and lower limits respectively for bit rate control.

 BLC: Set an area for Backlight Compensation. Backlight Compensation is a function that achieves

the brightness of a selected area to optimal image level. This function is necessary when an auto iris lens tends to close due to an intense light coming from back of object in the area wished to view so that the area is too dark and difficult to see. In this case, users may set the area corresponding to the portion wished to see. The area size illustrations are roughly as follows. (Unavailable when exposure mode is manual)

 WDR: It is intended to provide clear images even under backlight circumstances where intensity of

illumination can vary excessively, namely where there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view. WDR enables the capture and display of both bright and dark areas in the same frame, in a way that there are details in both areas, i.e. bright areas are not saturated, and dark areas are not too dark.

Basic Color

Figure 3 - 20: Basic Settings

 Brightness

Set image brightness from level -255 to 255. The 255 indicates the brightest image.

 Contrast

Set image contrast from level 0 to 255. The 255 provides the highest contrast

 Hue

Set picture hue from level -15 to 15. Selecting 15 provides the deepest hue.

 Saturation

It describes the difference of a color from the gray of the same lightness. Increasing saturation deepens the colors of your images, making reds redder and blues bluer. Users can adjust picture saturation level from 0 to 255. Decreasing saturation brings the image closer to a grayscale (that is, monochrome or black-and-white) image. Selecting 255 provides the highest image saturation.

 Sharpness

Increasing the sharpness value will sharpen the edges and small feature of viewing images. If the edges appear too smooth or blurred, increase the sharpness; otherwise, decrease the sharpness. Sharpness value can be set from 0 to 15. The 15 offers the sharpest image.

Connecting an alarm input device with the camera can largely extend warning functions. For example, when an infrared detector connected with the camera detects motion based on heat emission, an alarm message would be displayed on the Web-Client screen for notification. On the other hand, by connecting with an alarm output device such as siren, the camera will send signal to notify siren and thus make it activated when detecting an alarm either by motion detection or signals from alarm input devices.

 Alarm Input

 Enable: Set Alarm Input as “ON” or “OFF”.  Type: Choose NO for normally open or NC for normally close. NO (Normally Opened): An alarm will

be triggered when the external contact closes. NC (Normally Closed): An alarm will be triggered when the external contact opens.
