SWZ HD Camera Description
The basis of the SWZ HD PTZ camera is to use multiple lenses and sensors to provide a stepped
zoom eect, minimising the size requirement and maximising low light sensitivity.
The SWZ HD utilises three 1080p imaging sensors, each with a resolution of two megapixels, these
are switched into the on-board H.264 encoder. Each sensor is paired with a lens of diering focal
length, providing a high denition 10x optical zoom PTZ from a tiny 50mm diameter package.
As standard the SWZ HD is shipped with 8, 16 & 35mm lenses, providing elds of view from 40°
down to 8°. The simple construction of these prime lenses increases the eective aperture, allowing
far more light to hit the sensor than would be possible with a conventional optical zoom lens.
The high denition H.264 encoded video is based on the same technology found in the Visual
Engineering HD IP range of xed cameras.
Recording is supported by an internal 32GB micro SD card, recorded les are retrieved via FTP
transfer or through the use of our PC or Android applications. Camera conguration is supported
via a web page interface.
PTZ control is integrated into the ethernet connection, no additional comms channels are required.
PTZ functionality can be accessed via our PC or Android applications.
With its internal slip ring the SWZ HD oers continuous pan and 250° of tilt. The unit is mounted in
an environmentally sealed, CNC machined housing.

The Video Page is where all the
camera’s IP encoder parameters
are controlled.
The encoder supports two
encoding formats, H.264 and
MJPEG. The choice of the format
is initiated by the user when the
stream is enabled.
To initiate a H.264 stream from
a camera with an IP address of
192.168.1.195 the URL is:
rtsp://192.168.1.195/h264
To initiate an MJPEG stream from
a camera with an IP address of
192.168.1.195 the URL is:
rtsp://192.168.1.195/jpeg
• Constant Bitrate. This is the normal mode of operation, the camera will output a constant bit-
rate for its IP video stream.
• Constant Quality. In this mode the bit-rate is varied in a eort to maintain a constant quality.
The target quality is set using an arbitrary number between 0 to 51, the lower the number the
higher the quality. This is set in the quality eld.
Other video encoder parameters include:
H.264 Resolution
The maximum resolution is 1920x1080, users can select lower resolutions if there is restricted
bandwidth available for the camera’s connection.
H.264 FPS (frames Per Second)
The maximum frame rate is 30fps, users may choose to select lower frame rates, thereby reducing
the bandwidth required.
H.264 IDR Frame changes the I frame interval in the H.264 stream by setting the parameter, this
balances the stream’s quality against latency. The default value is 30.
The Video page contains parameters for each encoder type. The Camera has two fundamental
modes of operation:

Timed Recordings
There are 4 options for timed recordings, these are; O, Continuous, Once and Daily.
O = No recording takes place.
Continuous = Recording Continuously.
Once = Record once when the start time is reached and record for the set duration.
Daily = Record daily starting when the start time is reached and record for the set duration.
Trigger Recordings
Trigger Recordings can be triggered by either motion or light level change.
Trigger recordings are disabled by default, if enabled, a recording will be made.
The duration of the recording will be the duration of the motion event plus the time set in seconds
in the trigger duration.
Alert Control
Additionally motion and light level triggers can be used to trigger an OSD (On Screen Display) event
and an audible tone in the stream. If users require this they should enable the Motion or Light OSD.
The level of motion required to invoke a trigger can be set with the Trigger Sensitivity.
Four options; O, Low, Mid or High sensitivity may be set.
SD Card Management
In the event of the SD card becoming full, there are two options for Overwrite Control. One option
is to have the recordings stop when the SD card is full, or the other option is to have the oldest
material to be overwritten when the SD card becomes full.
Following any changes made in the menu the user must press the submit button .The camera will
then save the changed parameter. Wait until the camera nishes re-conguring before trying to
move away from the current web page or powering o the camera.

Recovering Recordings
Recordings are stored on the SD Card as individual 10 second duration .avi les.
The le size is proportional to the video bit-rate selected by the user.
The les follow the a naming convention of:
YYMMDDHHNNSS
For example a le with the name of: 170801134611 would have the meaning:
YY = Year is 2017
MM = Month is 08, August
DD = Date is 01, the 1st of the month
HH = Hour is 13, 24 hour format
NN = Minutes is 46
SS = Seconds is 11
Additionally les containing motion will have an ‘m’ appended on the end. This is so any video clips
with movement in the video can be easily identied. When searching motion les it is advisable to
also check for activity in the video in the le preceding any motion tagged le.
For the le described above with motion in the video it will have the complete le name of:
170801134611m.avi
Recordings are stored in directories for each individual hour, the directory has the form:
YYMMDDHH
Since each le is 10 seconds long there will only ever be a maximum of 360 les in each directory.
Recordings can be accessed and downloaded via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) using either The VE
Camera Viewer or an FTP application such as FileZilla.
The VE Camera Viewer is available to download from the VE website at:
www.visualengineering.co.uk/supportdownload/26
FileZilla is a free application and can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/FileZilla/
If using FileZilla, downloaded recordings can be played in players such as VLC either individually by
selecting Play stored File or in groups by creating a play list.
