Overview
The Nextiva S2700e series contains high-resolution, IP mini-dome cameras with triple axis
lens rotation for flexible installation, and low lux sensitivity for crisp clear images in a
variety of lighting conditions.
Designed for color or day/night use, the S2700e series delivers dual stream, DVD-quality
video at up to 4CIF at up to 30 frames per second in NTSC (25 in PAL). The day/night
function ensures around the clock imaging performance; in low light conditions the camera
automatically adjusts to black and white mode for optimal image clarity.
Many compression modes (also called codecs—coder/encoder) are available: a proprietary
MPEG-4-based mode, the MPEG-4 ISO 14496-2 compliant mode, and MJPEG (Motion
JPEG).
Y ou can use the S2700e series edge devices in point-to-point contexts as well as with video
management and storage applications. Furthermore, they enable configuration, video
viewing, and maintenance from web browsers. Here is the indoor model:

Security
Every camera comes with a unique SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate for securing its IP
link. SSL is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of IP message
transmission. If enabled, the SSL protocol secures I/O and proprietary VSIP communication
data. It does not apply to video transmission.
Video
The available video frame rates of each encoder IP camera are:
NTSC—1 to 7, 10, 15, or 30 frames per second (fps)
PAL—1 to 6, 8, 12, or 25 fps
The composite video signal of the camera is sent to two separate encoders. You can
customize each encoder to meet your system needs, for instance in terms of frame rate and
resolution. Here are typical scenarios regarding encoder use:
Scenario Encoder 1 Encoder 2
point-to-point point-to-point unused
unused point-to-point
point-to-point and web interface web viewing at rate A point-to-point at rate B
web viewing and
point-to-point at rate C
video management software view at rate D record at rate E
Note: You should not use the web interface and a video management software at the
same time to avoid configuration conflicts.

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 11
2: Mounting and Configuring the IP Camera
Mounting the S2700e and S2700eP
Cameras
There are many ways to mount the S2700e and S2700eP models:
Embedding in the ceiling
Mounting directly on the ceiling or wall
Mounting to an electrical box
Note: You can mount these cameras on North-American, European, and Japanese
electrical boxes.
The mounting procedure involves three main steps:
1. Preparation
2. Connection of cables and wires
3. Physical installation
Preparing the Camera
The first step in mounting the camera is preparing the surface and taking the camera apart.
To prepare the camera for mounting:
1. If you are embedding the camera in the ceiling, open a hole (4.7 inch/120 mm
diameter) at the desired location.
Warning: Ensure that the thickness of the ceiling material is between 0.37 and
0.87 inch (9.5 and 22 mm).
2. If you are mounting the camera on the ceiling or wall, open a hole (1.4 i nch/35 mm
diameter) at the desired location; use the supplied template (see Appendix C on
page 69).
3. Draw the cables out of the ceiling or wall.

the cables can exit from the base or the side of the outer case.
Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 13
2: Mounting and Configuring the IP Camera
Cable hole
Smaller door
Center hole
You may use power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to power the camera and establish its Ethernet
connection. The optional PoE kit sold by V e rint contains two items: an injector and a power
cord. The connection procedure may vary if you use another PoE kit; refer to the PoE kit
documentation for more information.
Warning: Never use PoE and 12V DC at the same time. It may damage the device.
To connect the cables for a camera to be embedded in the ceiling:
1. Dismantle the other end of the fall prevention wire by unfastening the mounting screw
at the rear of the camera.
2. Connect the alarm wires (see page 33).
3. Perform the power supply connection, either 12V DC or PoE (see page 22).
4. If the camera uses 12V DC, establish its Ethernet connection by plugging a cable
(straight-through or crossover) between the RJ-45 connector at the end of the network
cable and an Ethernet device.
The crossover cable directly connects the IP camera to a computer; use a
straight-through cable to connect the IP camera to a hub or a switch for integration
with the network.
5. Wrap insulation tape around the cables and wires.
To connect the cables for a camera mounted on the ceiling, wall, or electrical box:
1. Pull the cables coming from the ceiling or wall through the center hole on the outer
case.

Note: If you use an impact screwdriver, do not tighten the screws fully. Use your
hand instead. Failure to do so may damage the outer case.
3. Hang the free end of the fall prevention wire to the hook inside the outer case.
4. Connect the alarm wires (see page 33).
5. Perform the power supply connection, either 12V DC or PoE (see page 22).
6. If the camera uses 12V DC, establish its Ethernet connection by plugging a cable
(straight-through or crossover) between the RJ-45 connector at the end of the network
cable and an Ethernet device.
The crossover cable directly connects the IP camera to a computer; use a
straight-through cable to connect the IP camera to a hub or a switch for integration
with the network.
7. Wrap insulation tape around the cables and wires.

Note: Ensure that there is no space between the outer case and the ceiling or wall.
5. Connect the alarm wires (see page 33).
6. Perform the power supply connection for the camera, either 12V DC or PoE (see
page 22).
7. If the camera uses 12V DC, establish its Ethernet connection by plugging a cable
(crossover or straight-through) between the RJ-45 connector located on the camera
unit (in the opening beneath one of the camera fastening clips) and an Ethernet device.
The crossover cable directly connects the IP camera to a computer; use a
straight-through cable to connect the IP camera to a hub or a switch for integration
with the network.
Installing the Camera
The installation is two-fold: physically installing the camera in the outer case, then finishing
the assembly after you performed image adjustment.
To install the camera:
1. Fill the chosen cable hole and the two mounting holes (with the screws in place) with
sealing material. Use GE silicon or the equivalent.
Note: You must completely fill these holes; otherwise water or vapor may enter,
causing the lens and dome cover to fog.
2. Mount the retaining bracket to the rail and engage it so that the camera slides into the
outer case.
Note: Ensure that the cables are not caught between the camera unit and the outer
case.
3. Push the retaining lock towards the outer case.

2. To brighten the image, turn the iris level screw clockwise, towards H (high).
Performing White Spot Correction
As a general characteristic of charge coupled devices (CCDs), white spots may appear on
the image. To reduce this phenomenon, the S2700e camera is equipped with a white spot
correction feature. You can correct up to 32 white spots at a time. There is no guarantee
that all white spots will be corrected. Furthermore, since correction is performed using the
information of surrounding pixels, some data may be lost if the image is highly detailed.
The result of white spot correction is maintained until you re-execute the procedure.
To correct white spots:
1. Power the camera then wait for at least 30 minutes.
2. Remove the dome cover and the inne r dome for the S2700e-VR and S2700eP-VR.

2: Mounting and Configuring the IP Camera
Transmitter (camera) Receiver
Performing a Point-to-Point Connection
c
A point-to-point connection is the association of a transmitter and a receiver to view video
coming from an analog camera on an analog monitor. The IP camera acts as a transmitter
in this context. The Nextiva receivers are the S1970e-R and S1504e-R. You can connect
each of these receivers to up to four transmitters, to create a maximum of four different
point-to-point connections. Here is a single connection:
You can also use a point-to-point connection to transfer audio, input/output, or serial port
data, if the transmitter and receiver have these features.
Typically, both devices sit on the same IP subnet as SConfigurator and have the same VSIP
port; to access other devices, refer to the device discovery section in the Verint
SConfigurator User Guide.
To associate a transmitter and a receiver in a point-to-point connection:
1. Start SConfigurator.
2. In the Units tab, discover the desired devices.
The discovered devices appear in the Units box.
3. Select the Connections tab, then click Add.
The Connection Creator window appears.
4. Select a transmitter in the left column and a receiver in the right one.
In the Transmitters column, you have access to the two encoders of each input; the
video stream is the same for both. Encoder1 is always reserved for viewing live video
with the web interface, therefore you should use Encoder2 for point-to-point
connections; however, you can use the same encoder for both functions if you want the
same resolution and frame rate.

Compression
mode
Number of Encoders per Video Input—The number of encoders receiving a video
stream. Typically you use both encoders for video; however, to activate the noise
reduction filter (see page 46), you need to disable the second encoder. The available
values are:
1—To use Encoder 1 for video with the noise reduction filter set at Low.
2—To use both encoders for video.
Encoders
The video parameters are the same for the two encoders of the device. The parameters
vary depending on the compression mode. For SM4 and MPEG4 Compliant Simple Profile,
the parameters are:
Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 45
3: Using the Web Interface
For the MJPEG compression mode, the parameters are:
Target Bit Rate—(SM4 and MPEG4) The maximum number of bits per second generated
by the device. Valid bit rates range from 9 to 6000 kbps.
Target Frame Rate—The maximum number of frames per second (fps) that will be
encoded and transferred by the transmitter. This parameter can be set to 1 to 7, 10, 15,
or 30 fps in NTSC mode and 1 to 6, 8, 12, or 25 fps in PAL mode.
Minimum Quantizer—(SM4 and MPEG4) The high video quality boundary. The lower the
value, the higher the video quality and the file size. The value range is from 2 to 31.
Maximum Quantizer—(SM4 and MPEG4) The low video quality boundary. A higher
quantizer value means less video quality but a smaller file size. The value range is from
2 to 31.
Input Filter Mode—The level of filtering applied to the video signal before it is encoded,
helping to remove high frequency noise from lower quality cameras or noisy video
feeds. The available values are Low, Medium, High, or None.
Noise Reduction Filter Mode—The filtering of small variations in pixels in otherwise
motionless sections of the video, to be used in all conditions to reduce the bit rate.
Using this filter also helps reduce the number of false alarms in low light conditions. To
see this parameter, you need to deactivate the second video encoder (see page 45).
The available values are Low (default), Medium, High, and None.
Resolution—The measure of how clear and crisp the video image appears. Each
resolution corresponds to a specific number of pixels (columns * lines) for each picture
of the video sequence. The available resolutions are: QCIF, CIF, 2CIFH, 4CIF, All lines,
2/3 D1, and VGA.

Nextiva S2700e Series User Guide
Rate Control Mode—The mode controlling the bit rate variation on SM4 and MPEG4, or
the file size variation on MJPEG. The available modes are:
CFR (Constant Frame Rate)—(SM4 and MPEG4) This mode maintains the target
frame rate. Video quality may suffer and the bit rate may exceed the target value.
CBR (Constant Bitrate)—(SM4 and MPEG4) This mode is the most effective to
maintain the target bit rate. Video quality may suffer (frames may be skipped) and
the frame rate may decrease. This mode should be used when transmitting video
over networks that have very limited bandwidths, and with an intra-interval value
of 0.
CNR (Constant Nextiva Rate)—(SM4 and MPEG4) This is the optimized mode, based
on CBR, to be used for the Nextiva enterprise video management software to make
good use of the storage capacity.
CFS (Constant File Size)—(MJPEG) In this mode, the quality of the images may
vary, but their size will be targeted to the value specified by the Target File Size
parameter.
VFS (Variable File Size)—(MJPEG) In this mode, the quality of the image is set by
the Variable File Size Quality parameter, but the size of the image will vary,
depending of the encoded image.
Target File Size—(MJPEG) The target size of each image that will be encoded (in
Kbytes), if the rate control mode is CFS. The available values are in the 1–100 range.
Variable File Size Quality—(MJPEG) The quality of the encoded images, if the rate
control mode is VFS. The value range is from VFS1 (high quality) to VFS7 (worst
quality).
Web Multicast IP Address—The IP address of the multicast group from which the web
interface will get live video, if the web streaming method is Multicast UDP (see
page 52).
Web Multicast IP Port—The IP port of the multicast group from which the web interface
will get live video, if the web streaming method is Multicast UDP (see page 52).
Intra Interval—(SM4 and MPEG4) The frequency at which a complete video frame
(called I-frame) is sent by the encoder. The available values are in the 0–1000 range. A
value of X means that a complete image refresh will occur every X frames.
Tip: It is not recommended to use a value of 0.
Compression Mode—The way the video is compressed. The following codecs
(coders/decoders) are available:
SM4—The proprietary MPEG-4-based mode.
MPEG4 Compliant Simple Profile—The MPEG-4 ISO 14496-2 compliant mode.
MJPEG—The Motion JPEG mode that uses standard JPEG still images.
Note: You need to reboot after changing the compression mode to MJPEG on the
S2700e devices for the change to take effect.

3: Using the Web Interface
Video Sensor
The parameters used to configure the video sensor in the IP camera are:
Load Sensor Defaults— To set all the sensor parameters to their default values (listed in
Appendix A on page 51).
White Balance Mode—The w ay the adjustment of light levels, to help images retain their
true colors, is performed. The available values are Auto (recommended) and Manual. If
you select Manual, you perform the adjustment with four commands in the command
line interface (CLI) of the camera (Advanced menu, then Video, then Video Sensor). To
access the CLI, see Appendix C on page 61.
AGC Mode—The indication of whether the automatic gain control (AGC) is activated.
AGC automatically maintains a constant video signal even if there are changes in
brightness. In other words, when this setting is activated, the sensor automatically
increases brightness when the image does not contain enough light. You can also
change the brightness of the lens manually (see page 28).
Backlight Compensation Mode—The indication of whether the backlight compensation
mode is activated. It is the ability to compensate in cases where a subject with a large
amount of background light would otherwise be obscured by blooming or silhouetting.
Black & White Mode—The way the camera will switch between the day and night
modes. The available values are:
Auto—The camera switches automatically between the day and night modes.
Off—The camera remains in day mode.
Support NTSC in 50 Hz Environment—The indication of whether the electrical network
frequency is 50 Hertz (On) or 60 Hertz (Off) when using the NTSC video standard. This
parameter applies to the NTSC cameras only (S2700e, S2700e-VR, and
S2700e-VR-XT).

Configuring Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of low-level networking protocols giving higher priority to
more important data flows while ensuring that the less important ones do not fail. QoS is an
essential technology for organizations rolling out a new generation of network applications
such as real-time voice communications and high-quality video delivery.
In the Nextiva edge devices, the two available QoS flavors are Type of Service (ToS) and
Differentiated Service Code Points (DSCP).
For QoS to be taken into account, the network infrastructure equipment (switches and
routers) must support one of these protocols. If any of these devices does not support QoS,
the QoS data will simply be processed as traditional non-QoS data. Furthermore, all Nextiva
edge devices on a network must support the same QoS protocol (or no protocols at all).
You can set a priority flag to three data types coming out of an edge device: video, audio,
and control. A QoS-enabled switch (or router) uses this flag to determine how the current
data compares to what is currently going through it.
The QoS values are in the Advanced > Quality of Service menu.

DHCP Support and
APIPA
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows devices and computers connected to a
network to automatically get a valid IP configuration from a dedicated server.
The APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) scheme, available on the Windows operating
systems, enables a device to assign itself a temporary IP address.
Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 67
B: DHCP Support and APIPA
At startup, an edge device searches for a valid IP network configuration. The device
requires this configuration prior to starting its functions. The network configuration for
Nextiva devices consists of:
An IP address
A subnet mask
A gateway
The device first looks in its local memory. If no configuration is found, it tries to contact a
DHCP server. If DHCP configuration fails—if the device does not find a server or if it cannot
get a configuration from it within one minute—the device assigns itself temporary network
parameters based on the APIPA addressing scheme. This scheme allows a device to find a
unique IP address until it receives a complete network configuration, either manually or
from a DHCP server.
A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as the other devices on the IP
network; therefore, it may not be able to see or be visible by the other devices. Devices use
the following temporary APIPA configuration:
IP address: 169.254.X.Y (where X and Y are based on the last two digits of the MAC
address of the device)
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254. *. *
A device is in APIPA mode:
The first time it boots up
After receiving a duplicate IP address
After a hardware reset
When the DHCP server does not have any available IP addresses
After loading the default parameters
DHCP configuration is automatically disabled after a factory reset.
