2. IMPORTANT: The minimum Plug the connector from the lens into the auto iris jack on the back of the camera. The connector is polarized and can only be inserted into the jack one way.

3. Apply power to the camera.

4. The OSD AE menu in the lens select should be in the “VIDEO”.

5. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum picture. If a picture is not visible, set the

lens for proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (Automatic Level Control) and the level on the lens. The ALC setting can range between AVG (average) or PK (peak). A midrange setting is appropriate for most applications.

For ALC adjustments: AVG To slow the reaction of the lens to changing light, set the range to the AVG setting to average the video level from the camera. Use when there are bright spots in the picture such as lights or glare from the sun. PK To increase the speed of the lens reaction to the changing light, set the lens adjustment to PK so the lens will adjust to the brightest or peak object in the video. Use this setting if you want to see the brightest object and not the background objects.

For Level adjustments: Adjust the level control for the best picture during the day. A night adjustment may not provide the proper setting for controlling the light during the day.

6. Set the back focus of the camera before the final adjustment of the video level.

7. If the auto iris has a gain adjustment and the picture oscillates between open and closed

under bright lights, slowly turn the gain adjustment counter clockwise until the oscillating stops. Increase the light getting to the camera by adjusting the level control and readjusting the gain control.

2) DC auto IRIS lens installation & adjustment

1. Solder the lens control wires to the connector supplied with the camera.

2. Attach the DC-type auto iris lens to the lens mount on the front of the camera.

3. Plug the connector into the auto iris jack on the side of the camera. The connector is polarized and can only inserted into the jack one way.

4. Apply power to the camera.

3) Manual IRIS lens adjustment

When using a manual iris lens, turn the iris ring on the lens to the OPEN position and adjust the manual iris for the appropriate range. Adjust during the brightest conditions, opening the lens to the minimum f-stop yielding a good picture under the brightest scene conditions. Do not saturate the picture. The manual iris is used in indoor applications where lighting from windows can considerably affect the light level of the room.

4) Back Focus adjustment

For best results, perform back focus adjustments at night or while using a #6 or #8 welder's glass in front of the lens. The focus of the camera will change slightly if the camera iris was adjusted on a light scene, then changes to a dark scene. However, the camera will remain in focus if the iris was focused on a dark scene and the scene lightens.

1. The lens should be mounted on the camera before applying power.

2. If a picture is visible, focus on the picture. If the picture is not visible, open the iris on the

lens. Open the lens as wide as possible by placing the welder's glass in front of the lens and forcing the lens to automatically open.

3. When the iris is open to the widest point, re-adjust the focus for clear picture. If a clear

picture is not possible, set the focus ring to midrange.

4. Loosen the back focus lock screw.

5. Adjust the back focus ring for a clear picture.

6. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

7. Fine tune the focus with the focus ring on the lens.

8. Remove the welder's glass from in front of the lens.

9. Adjust the iris of the lens for the best picture quality.

5) Zoom lens back focus adjustment

The objective of back focusing a zoom lens is similar to that of a fixed focal length camera except the back focus is also adjusted to maintain the focus when "zooming" the lens in and out on a scene.

1. Choose an object at the farthest range set for viewing with a zoom lens.

2. Make sure the iris of the lens is wide open. Do this by adjusting the camera at night or use

a welders glass in front of the lens.

3. Adjust the focus to the stop on the far range.

4. Adjust the zoom on the lens to obtain the widest picture.

5. Loosen the back focus lock screw.

6. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.

7. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

8. Adjust the zoom on the lens to the far telephoto position.

9. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.

10. Adjust the zoom on the lens back to the widest picture.

11. Loosen the back focus screw.

12. Re-adjust the back focus for the clearest picture.

13. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

14. Repeat the previous steps as necessary to maintain a clear picture throughout the entire

zoom range.

2. Installation

Administrator

An administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup tools and can determine the registration of all other users.

 Enable anonymous viewer login: Check the box to use the webcasting features. Refer to

“3.5.2 Video & Image” for more details.

2) Network

The network camera support both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the video encoder can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the video encoders receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router. There is also the option of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the Network, please see Setup> System>Security>Network.

• Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol

that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a particular MAC address.

• Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the Network Camera,

check the radio button and then make the following settings:

- IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your Network Camera.

- Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the Network Camera is located on.

- Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for

connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.

Notes:

1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can

update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the Network Camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.

2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or

as soon as an IP address is set.

3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

3) Video & Image

• Video Setting

- Codec:

The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264.

H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital

video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.

- Profile:

There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. Choose the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:

* H.264 MP(Main Profile):

Primarily for low-cost applications that requires additional error robustness, this profile is used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications, it does add additional error resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.

* H.264 BP(Base Profile):

Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High profile was developed for those applications.

* MPEG4 SP(Simple Profile):

Mostly aimed for use in situations where low bit rate and low resolution are mandated by other conditions of the applications, like network bandwidth, device size etc.

* MPEG4 ASP(Advanced Simple Profile):

Its notable technical features relative to the Simple Profile, which is roughly similar to H.263, including "MPEG"-style quantization, interlaced video, B pictures (also known as B Frames), Quarter Pixel motion compensation (Qpel), Global motion compensation (GMC).

- Resolution:

It enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access through the Web Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in seven modes like 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x720, 704x480(576), 640x480, 352x240(288), and 320x240. Users can reset the selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.

- Bitrate control:

Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth used by the H.264 or MPEG-4 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited maintains consistently good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when there is more activity in the image. Limiting the bit rate to a defined value prevents excessive bandwidth usage, but images are lost when the limit is exceeded.

Note that the maximum bit rate can be used for both variable and constant bit rates.

The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area.

CBR allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased image activity, but in this case cannot, the frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly compensate for this, it is possible to prioritize either the frame rate or the image quality whenever the bit rate needs to be increased. Not setting a priority means the frame rate and image quality are equally affected.

- Compression:

When it is necessary to adjust a smooth transmission status according to network situations, users can increase the compressibility to carry out the network transmission stably. On the other hand, when it is necessary to maintain a detailed monitoring screen by enhancing the image quality, users can do so by decreasing the compressibility. In ease case, please adjust this function according to the network status and monitoring purposes. The default is 2000(Kbps).

- Frame rate:

Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If the rate is high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is low, the image will not be natural but it can reduce a network load.

- GOP size:

Select the GOP(Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance. For the details of GOP setting, please contact the service center.
