1 General information

The Everec 260/261 is a compact network camera especially developed for use in mobile applications. Although it is extremely lightweight in construction, it is also exceptionally sturdy. Its innovative design takes all the special requirements essential for installation in vehicles into account. One important characteristic is the protection of passengers in accidents, which has been optimised through the housing design. Using a flexible device, installation times are reduced and the orientation to the required image section is greatly simplified.

Two sensors and the associated lenses with fixed focal lengths allow switching between two views. Here a two-stage zoom function is realised which, having no movable parts, is robust and maintenance-free. An LED on the front can be used to signal camera activity. This is used for example to fulfil the marking obligation for video recordings.

The possible areas of application for this camera are numerous. The Everec 260/261 is the top choice for police video safety precautions, video documentation at logistics companies, video monitoring in security vans or driver protection in taxis. In addition, the camera provides the best solution for customers in a wide range of mobile applications. Due to its modular construction, customer-optimised adaptation to highly specific tasks, such as the integration of GPS, audio recording or night vision suitability, is possible.

Notice: If applicable, familiarize yourself with the laws for the operation of supervision installations and ensure that you follow them in the installation of the Everec 260/261.

7.1.1 Streams

The camera is able to deliver 3 different streams. The MPEG-4 streams in high and low resolution are played as network streams by different media players like for example VLC Media Player or QuickTime Player, see chapter 5, the MJPEG stream is played in a browser. The streams are configured to maximum possible settings at first. If transmission in your network or your devices is not possible with these parameters, you can lower them.

Figure 13: Configuration of the streams

Instruction Manual Everec 260/261

Common options

Here you choose the base frame rate, meaning the maximum number of images per second. The available values are 25 fps or 30 fps.

Then you set the maximum exposure time between 0.5 msec and 500 msec. This automaticly changes the maximum frame rate shown below.

The Everec 260/261 automatically regulates the maximum exposure time for an image. The darker the surroundings are, the longer the exposure times need to be. Maximum settings are 500 msec per frame, meaning the video recordings with these exposures can only be made with 2 fps (frames per second). With long exposure times the image will be brighter but might be blurred particularly with motion.

MPEG-4 1280x720

In this stream with the resolution 1280 x720 pixels (High Definition 720p) you can set the images per second and the transmission rate. The higher the bit rate and frame rate the better is the video, but more disk space is needed.



Frame rate (images per second – fps) The frame rate depends on the set base frame rate and the maximum exposure time and can be set with a sliding bar at minimum exposure time

Base frame rate 30: from 30 fps to 0,02 fps Base frame rate 25: from 25 fps to 0,01 fps

at maximum exposure time

Base frame rate 30: from 2 fps to 0.02 fps Base frame rate 25: from 1,67 to 0,01 fps



Frame interval The frame interval depends on the set frame rate and indicates how many milliseconds or seconds are in between two images recorded or transferred.



Bit rate (kbit/s) The bit rate depends on the set frame rate and is adjustable via a sliding bar from 1600 to 6000 kbit per second at maximum frame rate from 0,9 to 3,3 kbit per second at minimal frame rate.

Notice: Recording with the resolution of 1280x720 is also done with the frame and bit rates set here.

Notice: You cannot change the parameters of the second stream (640 x 352).

JPEG

For this stream with the resolution 640 x 352 pixels you can set the frames per second and the image quality. The MJPEG stream is used for the live view, you can open it in an the browser by clicking the link in the page „System information“.

Instruction Manual Everec 260/261



Frame rate (frames per second - fps) The frame rate depends on the set maximum exposure and can be set via a sliding bar

from 15 fps to 0.02 fps at minimum exposure from 1 fps to 0.02 fps at maximum exposure



Frame interval The frame interval depends on the set frame rate and indicates how many milliseconds or seconds are in between two images transferred.



Quality Independent from exposure and frame rate adjustable via a sliding bar from 2 to 90

7.1.2 Privacy Masks

The Privacy Mask serves to protect privacy, areas that shall not be visible in the image are hidden with square masks (masked). Rectangles are transparent on the configuration page for better positioning, in the stream and in the recording they are grey.

Figure 14: Placing the Privacy Masks – for passenger compartment surveillance the driver was masked

To place a mask, pull a rectangle open on the camera image in the desired direction by holding the left mouse key. As soon as you let go of the mouse key, the rectangle is set. The area within the blue frame is activated and can be moved or changed with mouse. You can create up to 4 rectangles, they can be changed later on and can overlap. With the button „Remove Mask“ underneath the image you can remove the active rectangle again. Save the settings with the button „Save“ or reverse your settings with the button „Reset“.

Instruction Manual Everec 260/261

The masked areas are covered in the live stream and in the recording with the set rectangles after saving.

7.1.3 Overlay (Text in the image)

If you want to access the Everec 260/261 over Bonjour, the Bonjour check box must be activated. Enter a name under which you want to access the camera. The name may not contain any empty spaces and be 58 characters long at the most. In the delivery status the name is „Everec260/261-[Serial number]“.

Notice: Bonjour sends and receives network packages on UDP port 5353. In your firewall configuration, ensure that this port is open.

DHCP

You can activate DHCP, if you have a DHCP-server in your network. If you have any questions, ask your system administrator

The DHCP server will assign the connected camera an IP address. Please see the configuration pages of the DHCP server for the Mac address belonging to the camera to see the IP address.

If you have DHCP activated, you cannot enter any IP addresses manually anymore. If you already entered an IP address and activate DHCP then, the address is ignored. This entries are deactivated on the configuration page.

Instruction Manual Everec 260/261

Manual configuration - Manually set IP-connection

Here you assign the Everec 260/261 a fixed IP address under which it is always available. This includes a subnet mask that corresponds to the network mask used in your network.



IP address here the camera is addressed in the network



Subnet mask determines which part of the IP address serves the definition of

the net and which serves the identification of the device, thus the network class is specified.



Default gateway this is the IP address of the standard router that serves the

connection into other networks or other sub nets

Domain Name System (DNS)

The Domain Name System (DNS) associates the name of devices in networks with an IP address, that means it provides the allocation of a name to a static (fixed assigned) IP address with the help of databases. Enter the IP address of one or 2 DNS servers here. This IP addresses are only applied after a restart of the camera.

DynDNS (dynamic Domain Name System)

The number of available static IP addresses is limited by their length. Thus, providers assign dynamic IP addresses for dialling in to the Internet that means usually a different IP address for every time. If a network camera is to be available from the Internet this way, the user must know the currently valid IP address. To ensure this, there are different providers that offer dynamic DNS.

So you determine a name for the camera under which it shall be available in the Internet. If the camera dials into the Internet, it connects with the DynDNS service first and declares its current IP address that is then entered to the given name in a database.

If an internet user accesses this name now, the DynDNS provider can allocate it to the current IP address, so that the connection can take place.

To be able to use this service, you need to register at a DynDNS provider. There are also different free offers in this area. Create an account with the provider of your choice. Then select a host name for the camera and enter the current IP address.

Name Host name for the camera that was registered at the DynDNS provider
