Wirepath™ NVR
How Does IP Video Surveillance Work?
Wirepath™ IP cameras use a digital image processor to capture video in a stream of packets that are broadcast using a standard Ethernet network. These packets can be received by several devices at once, including local PCs, mobile devices, and recorders (NVRs) on the same network, or even off the network (with the correct setup and web access).
Users can see the camera feed through the interface of their choice, or see recorded footage from a storage device like an NVR. Wirepath Surveillance offers apps for iOS® devices, Android® smartphones, Windows PC, and Mac computers. Drivers for various popular control systems are also available for integration with a control system.
Access and Use
For local network (LAN) access, a static IP address is assigned to the camera in the network router. The user enters this address into a PC, smartphone, or other device connected to the LAN, and logs in using a customizable username and password.
For access outside the LAN, a port is forwarded to the camera in the network router settings and a DDNS address is set up in the camera. This enables the same streams from the camera to be broadcast anywhere in the world over an Internet connection.
In systems where the camera stream must be recorded, a network video recorder (NVR) is connected to the LAN. The address and login credentials for the camera are entered and the stream can be captured as needed for later viewing.

6. Camera Connections
Wirepath™ Surveillance IP Cameras can be powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) through the Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet connection. This method is recommended because it limits the amount of wiring required, reducing installation cost and time. The camera must be connected to a compatible PoE-equipped router/switch or a PoE injector for this method to work.

6.1. Network Cable Recommendation (PoE and non-PoE)
• Cable Type: Cat5e/6
• Max Length: 100 meters (328 feet)
• Termination: 568B recommended
TIA/EIA Standard 568-B (Gold Pins Facing Up)
6.2. Choosing the Right Network Equipment
Streaming content from IP Cameras requires more bandwidth than most IP devices. We recommend using 1Gbps routers and switches to maintain a high quality streaming image. To reduce trafc on the overall network, we also recommend that all IP Surveillance devices be connected to a dedicated 1Gbps switch or VLAN.
6.3. PoE Requirements- IEEE 802.3af
Cameras must be connected to a PoE injector (inline PoE power supply) or a PoE-equipped port of a network router or switch built to IEEE 802.3af standards. Consider installing a dedicated PoE switch specically for IP cameras on the network to avoid issues relating to power shortage.
• Minimum requirement for PoE ports:
• Voltage: 44V DC
• Wattage: 15.4W
• Amperage: 350mA

• Default DST settings are standard for most regions.
• If changes are required, set the Month, Week, Day of Week, and Time for the DST “Start” and “End”.
D. Enter “pool.ntp.org” in the “NTP Server” eld. Only use a different setting if instructed to do so by the network administrator.
E. 6 hours should be a sufcient setting for time updates. If constant or regular power outages occur, or Internet access is
restricted at certain times, the setting may be decreased or increased.
F. Time shift may be set to a positive or negative number of minutes if the camera time must be off by a set amount. Do not use
this setting to alter the time for Daylight Savings Time.
G. Click “Apply” at the bottom right of the page to save any changes made. Settings are now complete.
9.2.2.6. Time Setup for Cameras without Internet Access
For IP cameras connected to isolated networks, time may be manually synchronized to a separate system using the “Manual” setting (section 9.2.2.3. Manual). This is ideal for locations where the camera may not be accessed for long periods, as long as power is stable.
If the camera will be regularly accessed by a mobile PC, the best way to set the time is to use the “Synchronize with PC’s Time” setting (section 9.2.2.2. Synchronize with PC’s Time). This will reset the camera time each time it is accessed. The PC will be much more likely to have accurate settings, since it also connects to other networks and the Internet.

9.3.1.4. RTSP Setting
The camera supports Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). RTSP is a network protocol designed to allow media devices to stream content over Ethernet to devices on the same network or even to devices over the Internet. Instead of using a separate server or video recorder to control the video feed to remote devices, RTSP allows direct control of the stream from within the camera. This technology enables Wirepath™ products to stream video to devices even if they can’t support any of our remote viewing apps. Leave RTSP disabled if it will not be used.
RTSP Server Enable or disable RTSP. If RTSP is disabled, no connection can be made using the protocol.

9.3.5. Advanced IP Settings - QoS/DSCP
Quality of Service (QoS) is used within a network to dene priority levels for selected trafc. This allows for a higher level of bandwidth to be used whenever a particular type of trafc is being sent to avoid latency and packet loss. The network

9.3.7. DDNS Setup
9.3.7.1. DDNS Overview
Dynamic Domain Name Servers (DDNS) map an alphanumeric Internet domain name to a network’s WAN IP address. When congured, DDNS enables login to cameras from anywhere on the Internet without having to remember a numeric address that could change on a regular basis. Conguring DDNS is not required for remote access, but makes access easier. Only one device on the network requires DDNS setup. After one device is congured, the same address can be used to access other devices as long as ports are set differently for each camera. (See section 9.3.7.4. Setting Up a DDNS Address – WirepathDNS)
Our free Wirepath™ DNS service is fast to set up right through the camera interface – no PC required – and it provides maximum uptime thanks to redundant USA-based servers located across the country.
If an NVR is being used in the system, we recommend that remote DDNS access is handled through the NVR. Only congure remote access for cameras that must be accessed from outside the local network
independently.

9.4.1.1. Tips for Getting the Best Camera Image
• Too much brightness causes the image to fade. Too little brightness will cause dark colors to run together.
• Too much contrast will cause obscured details. Too little contrast will cause the image to lose clarity and brightness.
• Too much saturation will cause colors to be inaccurate. Too little saturation will cause the image to appear black and white.
• Increase AGC only if contrast in the scene is too dark in some areas and too bright in others. Too much AGC can drastically
reduce image clarity in low-light scenes.
• Lower shutter time values increase the amount of light available, but can increase movement blur. Higher shutter time values decrease lighting, but motion is captured more clearly.
• Leave Sense-Up OFF unless required for scenes containing very bright and dark areas at the same time (such as heavily backlit windows).
• DNR can reduce some digital noise that occurs in dimly lit scenes. Use the lowest setting that provides adequate image quality.

9.4.2. How to Congure Day & Night Settings (Color Modes)
The camera can record an image in color or black-and-white mode. Color mode requires more light but provides the best image given ideal conditions. Black and white requires much less light, and the camera’s IR can be turned on to illuminate the scene.
If the camera view is not ideal after installation, adjustments can be made to optimize the automatic settings or set them manually.

9.4.2.3. Light Sensor Mode (Default Mode)
The default day-night settings are usually ideal. The camera has been calibrated to run in color mode as long as enough ambient light is available for the sensor to use. Once the scene begins to darken, the camera will adjust to black and white night mode, and the IR LEDs will turn on as needed. Change the Lux variables to optimize the switch between modes for the scene.
Night to Day Lux
Sets the detected light level at which the camera will switch from B&W (Night) mode to Color (Day) mode. Selected level must be at least 4 units higher than Day to Night Lux setting.

9.4.2.5. How to Congure Privacy Masks
Privacy mask allows for areas of an image to be blocked out to avoid unwanted capturing of sensitive areas.
Example: A camera used to monitor the front lawn of a house would have the windows on the neighboring homes masked to avoid peeping on the neighbors.
• Menu Navigation: Log in as an administrator. From Home Screen, click “Cong” button in top right corner, then click “Image Settings” in the left column menu.
A. Assigning a Privacy Mask
1. Select Area 1 next to the blue box.

VBR – (Variable Bitrate) Bitrate of image increases and decreases based on image complexity. A higher quality image can be transmitted but during complex scenes bandwidth use increases.
Changes the range of VBR bitrate to Low or High.
• In “Basic” mode, settings range from Low (slowest) - Medium - Standard - High - Best (fastest).
Video Quantitative
• In “Advanced” mode, quality may be set from 1 (slowest) to 9 (fastest). When this setting is changed, Bitrate Control Mode automatically changes to VBR, and the bitrate will increase or decrease depending on the select option.
This setting will change if the camera is enabled or modied from a Wirepath™ NVR, since the NVR requires a CBR stream.
Video Bitrate
(Advanced Mode Only) Sets the xed bitrate to use when CBR is selected for bitrate control. The recommend setting is 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 Mbps for compatibility with Wirepath NVRs.
Adjusts the bitrate from 5 FPS to 30 FPS for streaming 1, and from 5 FPS to 15 FPS for Streaming 2. Higher

9.5.2. Conguring Motion Detection Areas
Motion detection allows for specic areas of the image to be used for triggering the recording of video, an alarm, or sending a notication. When an area is dened, motion in that area will trigger the predened action; this is useful to avoid unwanted events from being triggered due to motion in areas of no concern.

10. Internal Heater Overview
This IP camera is equipped with an internal heating element that is programmed to turn on as needed based on ambient temperature. If temperatures fall below 23°F for an extended period, the internal heater will turn on to keep the iris operating correctly. Without this feature, the iris could become so cold that it sticks in place, causing the camera to lose picture. Once temperatures rise back above 59°F, the heater will turn off to save power.
Temperature Operating Behavior
23°F (-5°C) or lower Heater will turn on to protect camera
-40°F (-40°C) or lower Camera should be powered off to protect internals. Keep the camera off until temperature rises to a
safe range.
59°F (15°C)-113°F (45°C) Heater will turn back off.
Over 113°F (45°C) Camera should be powered off to protect internals. Keep the camera off until temperature falls to a
safe range.
10.1. Safe Operating Range
• -40°F ~ 113°F (-20°C ~ 45°C)
• If the ambient temperature is between these temperatures, the camera should power up and operate normally.
• If temperatures remain above or below the safe operating range, the camera will shut off or will not power on to avoid damage to the internals.

11. Reset Procedure
If the camera ever becomes unresponsive after an update, or Administrator access is lost, it may be necessary to manually reset the camera back to default conguration. The procedure was designed to require signicant effort so that resets could not easily be done with malicious intent. For this reason, it may be necessary to remove the camera to do the reset unless an assistant can help.
Warning! Resetting the camera erases ALL settings, including IP and user/admin settings. Use the IP Installer software to rediscover the camera on the network after the reset. The IP address will return to DHCP.
Important! You must have direct access to the camera and its power source to reset the rmware. Have a way
of reaching the camera. Have an assistant to help control power, or remove the camera to perform the reset.
A. Remove power to the camera at the power supply location or by disconnecting the network cable from the network (if using
PoE power).
B. Open the camera cap and rotate the gimbal so the small black momentary switch on the board is accessible:
C. To perform the reset, the button must be pressed and held for 30 seconds while power is applied. The button must remain
pressed for the entire 30 seconds.
D. After 30 seconds, release the button. The camera will boot up as normal and can be discovered on the network again using the
IP Installer software.
12. Mobile App Access
Use your computer, or FREE iPhone®, native iPad®, or Android® smartphone apps to view cameras while at the ofce or on the go. Details on setup and operation can be found at www.SnapAV.com.
