4. Setting_Information

The camera’s administr ator menu allow s y ou to conf igure all as pects of y ou r ZAVIO network camera. This page provides a complete overview of the status of your netw ork camera.

5. Setting_Basic Setup

The basic setup a llows you to manage the us er accounts of your netw ork camera,

define the network parameters, set up the date and time

settings and most im p or tantly, the video settings.

5.1 Account

The ZAVIO network ca mera allows the c reation of differ ent user accoun ts with different lev els of access to the camera. There are three main user levels. The Viewer account only allows viewing the live video page of the c amera. The Op erator account a llows viewing the liv e video as well as changing the image setup settings, such as brightness, contrast, etc. Only the Administrator account has full access to all camer a settings, including the Settings menu. You c a n def ine up to nine additional user accounts. The user name and password must be between 4 and 16 characters in length. For each account you can also specify different user authority (Viewer, Operator or Administrator).

Account List:

Click the Add button to cr eate a n ew us er account. A popup win dow w ill ope n u p.

Here you

type in a user name an d a password for the new accoun t. Also, you must def ine the role of the new user account. The example shows how we create a guest account that only has viewing rights, but cannot change any settings. Click Save to c r eate the new user a ccount. Highlight an account to either edit or rem ove it. Note that the admin u s e r a ccount cannot be removed.

Anonymous Settin gs:

Enabling this will a llow any user to vie w the live video from the camera liv e video page without entering a user name or password. If y ou do not want to allow this to h appen, be sure to set this option to “Disabled.”

5.2 Network

On this page you can define the networ k settings of the camer a. By default the camer a is set up to automatically obtain the neces s ary IP information from the DHCP server (e.g., the router) in you r ne twork. You can, however, set up the IP address and related settings manually.

5.2.1 TCP/IP

Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4):

MAC address- MAC address stands for Media Access Control address. This is the unique

hardware address of the camera’s network interface. Obtain an IP address a utomatically (D HCP)- This is the default setting. In this mode the camera obtains the IP in formation from the D HCP server in y our network. Use the following I P a ddress- Activate this option in order to assign a sta tic IP address to the camera. You need to enter a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway address in th e c orrespon ding fields. Obtain DNS server address automatical ly - automatically use the DNS server settings provided by the D HCP server. Use the following DNS server address- When you disable DHCP, you also need to provide the camera wi th v alid DNS set tings. T he Primar y DNS serv er mus t be filled out. It is often the same IP address as the Gateway address.

Internet Protocol Version 6(TCP/IPv6):

IP address- The IPv6 IP address of ZAVIO camera is automatically assigned by

converting the MAC address of the IP camera. U s e r is n ot a b le to m odify it.

HTTP:

HTTP port number- The default v alue is 80 and normally there is no need to ch ange it.

If you decide to change the http port to a diff erent value; e.g. , 1024, you need to do two things: First, after saving the settings you need to reboot the camer a via the Sys tem -> Initialize menu. Secondly, af te r the reboot is completed you need to con nect to the camera using the URL http://camera_ip:portnumber.

5.2.2 PPPoE

PPPoE is the most common form of connection for DSL-based Internet service. You can use this function to connect the cam era directly to a DSL modem. A common application for this is where the netw or k camera is ins ta lled in a remote loc a tion where no network is presen t. In th e locati on is a DSL I ntern et conn ection (DSL modem), but no r outer or any other netw or k infrastructure. You can connect th e c amera to the DSL modem and enter your DS L account information in the fields below.

PPPoE:

PPPoE- On Authentication Ty pe-

PAP or CHAP

IP address- Displays the current IP address obtained from the Internet Serv ice Provider (ISP). It displays 0.0.0.0 if th e c amera is not connected to the Internet v ia PPPoE. User ID- Enter the user I D for your DSL servic e here. The user ID has been giv en to you by yo ur IS P. Password- The password for the DSL account goes here. Re-type the password in th e field below. DNS Server- T ypically, your ISP will send DNS Serv er information to the ca mer a whe n it connects. S ome ISPs, however, require entering specific DNS servers manu ally . In that case you can activate the option “Use the following DNS server address” and enter the primary an d seconda ry DNS s ervers in the fields below ( not shown on the scre en shot).

5.3 Date Time

On this page you can define th e time s ettings of the camera.

Current Date/Time:

Current Date/Time- Displays the camera’s curren t tim e. PC Clock- This is the date an d time of th e compute r y ou a re curren tly us ing to conn ect

to the camera. Date/Time Format- The format determines how the date/tim e is display ed on the liv e video.

Synchronization M e t hod: Keep current setting- You don’t want to change the date and time. Synchronize with client PC- It mean s to adjust the cam era time to y our PC. B e aware of the fact that this option sets the time only one time. F r om that point forward, the camera time will start to differ from your PC time as time progresses, and occasional re-synchronization will be necessar y. Manual Setting- Lets you manually enter the time and date. As with the previous option, the camera’s time will become inaccurate as time passes and you will need to re-synchronize the time periodically.

Synchronize with NTP- This option is the recommended settin g . In this mode, the camera will synchronize its time settings based on the interval setting (ranging from once per hour to once per day). The camera obtains th e time f r om the NTP server. You can use the de fault value u nless your camera is not connec ted to the Internet, or if a firewall in your netw ork blocks the ou tgoing NTP reques t of the camer a. Select “Manual” and you can enter a dif ferent NTP server; e.g., a server in your local network. Time zone:

Time zone- Select the correct time zone for your location . Daylight Saving Time- Y ou can def ine the ra nge of Dayligh t Savin g Time by activa ting

this option. The ca mera will ad just the time (mov e the clock forward or ba ckward by on e hour) depending on the pr ogrammed star t and end time. If your ca mera is not equ ipped with this featur e, you can adjust the tim e zone manually for Daylight Saving Time.

5.4 Video

The following thre e m e nus: Video Settin g , Profile and Day/Night, allowing de fining all video-related par a m eters. Note that the Day/Night option as well as other parameters ma y not be available on all models.

5.4.1 Video S etting

Rotated:

Mirror/Flip- Allows to mirror and flip the image.

Image Rotated- Allows 90/180/270 rotating the image. Image: Video Clip Format- Select which video profile the camera shou ld be using for video clips it record s in such as the network stora ge device, or SD card. Snapshot Format- Select the video profile used f or s na pshots (e. g., for JPG upload to a FTP server). Overlay: Overlay- Define what kind of an o verlay you want for the live vide o. Text Color- Choose between black or w hite. Background color- Select from either black, white or tr a nsparent. Display Position- Define wh ere the overlay should appear on th e live image.

Privacy Mask:

Privacy ma sking is the ability of the c amera to back out (cen sor) certain parts of th e live video. Example: The camera is installed in your compa ny; for example, overlooking th e warehouse. In one corner of the warehous e is th e br ea k room, where the employ ees go for their lunch breaks. In man y countries it is not permitted to monitor the workers during their break. To comply with laws a nd regulations, you can define a privacy mask in the break area to ensure that this a r e a is not being monitored or recorded by the camera. Click “ Add” to create a new privacy mask. As you can create multiple masks, you need to provid e a name for the mask, and you can define which color you want to overlay to be. F ina lly, set the status to “E na bled” an d clic k “ S av e ” to c rea te an d activate the privacy mask.

5.4.2 Profile

The ZAVIO network camera allows the creation of video streaming pr ofiles. For e a ch profile you can define the video resolution, the viewing area and th e video codec that is to be used. Click “Add” to create a new profile, “Remov e” to delete a profile or “Edit” to m odify an existing profile.

Video Setting:

Encoding- Your ZAVIO network camera can encode video in two different formats.

H.264 is the most advanc ed and efficient codec del ivering ex cellent image qua lity an d a

small video stream size at the

same time. Normally, this is your

preferred choice. However , you

can also select MJPEG, e.g., for

compatibility reasons.

Profile- Encoding application

offers you three choices- High,

Main and Baseline p r ofiles.

Resolution- Here you define the video res olution for the prof ile. Which choices y ou have

depend on your camera model. Some HD m odels offer imag e resolutions of up to 1920

x 1080 pixels whereas standard definition camera s a r e limited to 640 x 480 pixels.

Maximum frame rate- Type in the number of f r ames the c amer a s hou ld gener ate pe r

second of video. The higher the v alue, the smooth er the video , but th e more bandwidth

is going to be required. Valid entries are 1 to 30.

Quality- You can contr ol the image quality of the video by selectin g “Fixed Quality ”(or

refers to VBR) and defining the image quality by selecting one of the following values

“Medium,” “Standard,” “G ood,” “Detailed” and “Excellent.” Or you can choose to specify

the bit rate (fix ed bitrate or C BR) of the video the camera mu st not exceed. In this mode

the camera varies

the image quality a utomatically to not ex ceed the specified maximum . With setting fix ed

quality plus maxim um bitrates, the camera wou ld tr y to meet the quality r e quirement

without exceed the certain bitrates.

Audio Setting:

Audio Steam- You can select “On” or “Off”

5.4.3 Day/Night

Some ZAVIO network cameras are equipped with active IR LEDs providing the ability t o captur e vide o in c omplete da rkn ess. N ote, th at if y our camer a is n ot equ ipped with IR LEDs, this menu will not be availa ble. Also note th at some menu items w ill vary dependin g

on your camera model. Infrared cut-off filters are designed to reflec t or block mid-infrared w avelengths while pass ing visible light. Th ey are often used in n etwork video camer as to block IR du e to the high sensitivity of many camera sensors to near-infrared light. With the filter in place b efore the image sensor, the camera will n ot be able to pick up IR light, but it genera tes true color vide o. Once the IR cut filter is remov ed, the ca mer a becom es I R light s ensitiv e a nd will gener ate a black and white image – and it does that even in complete dar kness if the IR LEDs are activ e.

Day/Night:

IR Cut Filter Mode -

Auto-- The camera decides when to

remove the IR cut filter ba s ed on the IR Cut Filter Threshold you can specify. The switch delay ens ur es tha t the c am er a on ly switches the IR Cut Filter after the spec ified amount of time has passed. Night Mode-- This is the opposite of the day mode. If this mode is enabled, the camera alw ays remo ves the IR c ut filter. As a result, the camer a will alw ays be IR sensitive, rega r d less of the actua l light levels, and th e ima ge will be rendered in B/W mode. Using nigh t mode in day light conditions is not recom mended as it leads to a poor image quality with false and washed out colors. Day Mode-- In this mode the cam era d oes n ot remo v e th e IR Cu t Filter fr om th e image sensor regardless of any other settings. So only visible light will pass through and the im a g e will be in color mode Schedule-- Select this option, if you w is h to control exactly when you want th e camera to engage the n igh t mode. You can use the intern al sch edu ler to def ine a time pattern for each day of the week, e.g., no n ight mode on the week ends, but night mode from MON to FRI fr om 21. 00 hours to 06.00 hours. The schedu ler is

explained in detail later on. IR Cut Filter Switch Delay- For user to def ine th e time dur ation (how many seconds) between IR being turned on or off from the current status. IR Cut Filter Threshold- Here we u se an example to explain how I R cut filter thres hold works. If you set Dark as 30 lux and Bright as 70 lux, that means when luminance is less than 30 lux, the camera switches to night mode(B/W), and when luminance is more than 70 lux, the camera sw itches to day mode(col or), if the lu minance is between 30 lux and 70 lux,the camera stays in current mode.

IR Mode-

Auto-- This ensures that the I R ligh ts go on

whenever the IR cut f ilter has been removed.

Active-- Keeps the IR LEDs illumin a ted

regardless of the state of th e IR cut f ilter. T o ens ure maximu m life of th e IR LEDs,

this option should n’t be used, unless your camera is in s talled in a dark

environment which requires IR lighting at all times.

Inactive-- When this is selec ted, the camera w ill never a ctive its IR LED s, even if

the night mode is enabled (the IR Cut Filter h as been remov ed). I f you hav e your

own 850nm IR lightin g in place already , then you will not need t o use the camer a’s

integrated IR LEDs and can therefore turn the IR LEDs off.

Schedule-- Select this option, if y ou wish to con trol exactly when IR LED turning

on and off by following a certain schedule s etting Smart IR- The technology is to avoid ov erexposure problem happened. When the object comes closer or farth er in the field of v iew, Sm art IR technology will automatically adjust the level of I R intensity and mak e sure the object is definitely captured by the IP Camera.

5.5 Audio

Audio Input:

Audio Input Gain- Select the microphone input g ain v alu e you wis h in th e drop-down menu, and based on your region to select the proper codec and save a ll settin g. Audio Encoding-

g.711 u-law-- One codec for “Computer Audio”, used in North America & Japan

areas.

g.711 a-law-- Another codec f or “Com puter Audio”, used in Europe and the res t

for the world.

AMR-- An audio codec of th e thir d gen era tion com mu nic ation f or mobil e PHONE.

While the option selected, your mobile phone will receive the audio file from I P

Camera. And you can choose the bit rate f rom 4.75k to 12.2k. However, the us age

of this codec will cause frame-rate decreasing.

Audio Output:

Audio Output Gain- Select the speaker output gain value you wis h in the drop-down

menu and save it.

Note: The camera does not support echo cancelling, using the full duplex mode may cause audio feedback.

6. Setting_Live View

The Live View menu provides access to the video settings, which are exactly the same as described in the last section 5.4 & 5.5. It also provides access to advanced image settings and allows configuring the view areas that we discussed in the previous section. N ote that depending on your camer a model, the options on the screen may dif fer from the screen shots in this user manual.

6.1 Video

6.3 Camera Setting

6.3.1 Image Setting Image Enhancement:

The image enhanc ement contr ols cons ist of sta ndard video set tings, whic h you know from a great variety of p rodu cts. Click on “Video” to se e the cam er a live video while you ad jus t th e settings to you r liking.

White Balance: Color Tone- Choose between “Cool” and “Warm”. Normally you wan t to set this to real

as it provides the bes t r epresentation of natural colors. Auto White Balance- This parameter controls how the camer a interprets colors. You

can choose from the following values: “Auto,” “Hold Current”, “Fluorescent,” “Incandescent,” “Sunny ,” “Cloudy”, “Sun Shade” and “Manual” You should sele c t the value that best r e pr e sents the environment the came ra is installed in . Y ou can also

leave the default value “Auto,” as it typically delivers ver y good results.

Exposure Setting:

Exposure Frequenc y - There are four values: “Auto,” “50Hz,” “60Hz” and “Hold

Current.” If your camer a is installed so th at it’ s facing outs ide, you should selec t “ Auto .” If your camera is installed indoor s , you must sele c t the appropriate light frequency (either 50 or 60 Hz; e.g., in the US select 60 Hz, in Germany, Poland or I ta ly s elec t 50 Hz). The hold current option fixes the current exposure settings. Automatic Exposure- You can manually set the exposure value, which ranges from 0-100 (dark to bright). The defau lt value is 25 and typically pr ovides good results. Exposure Time- You can define the minimum and maximum exposure time of the camera’ s shutter here. W e recommend u sing the smallest exposure tim e (e.g. , 1/10000 sec) for the min valu e a s it ens ures the camera will generate crisp images during day time conditions in which even m oving objects appear sha rp and in focus. As for the max value, the bigger the value, the longer the camera keeps the shu tter open in low light conditions allowin g more li ght to fall on to the image sensor. As a result, the c amera ca n capture images even in very dark environmen ts. The downside is that movin g objec ts will appear blurred as the mo ve while the camera’s shutter is open. Gain- The ZAVIO camera is equipped with an electronic gain mechanism which helps capture image in dark condition s . The higher the gain, the brigh ter the image, but the downside is that the im age contains more noise. Low Light Behavior- When enabled, this op ens allows additiona l control over the camera when it is running in night mode. Backlight Compensation (BLC)- In images where a bright light source is behind th e subject of interest, the subject would n or m ally appear in silhouette. BLC allows the camera to adjust the ex posure of th e entire image to properly expose th e subject in th e foreground. The resultin g image ma y appea r ov erexposed in the backgrou nd; h owever,

the object of interes t is now properly lit. White Dynamic R a nge: WDR stands for Wide Dynamic Range and allows the ZAVIO network camera to capture video in areas with high contra sting objects; e.g., extremely br ight and ex tremely da rk. Activate WDR by settin g i t to “Auto” and then adjust the level tha t con trols th e a mou nt of WDR enhancement.

Noise Reduction:

Your ZAVIO camera features a noise reduction algorithm, which helps reduce the graining in the video, which occurs under low ligh t c onditions. Set this parameter to “Night Mode” to only a ctivate noise re duction when the camera is operating in night mode. You can also selec t “Schedule”, “On” (activates noise re duction permanently) or “Off” (deactivated noise reduction permanently).

3D Denoise:

Improves video noise reduction to deliver sharper, more accurate images.

6.3.2 Lens Setti ngs

7. Setting_Playback

The ZAVIO network camera offers an integrated playback feature, from a network storage server or the optional SD storage c ard.

7.1 Network Storage

In the event settings (see sec tion 8) you can define a local network storage drive (NAS) as a location for the camera to sa ve videos. The video p layer allows locating recordings quickly and conven iently on the network s torage drive a nd play back th e files right in your web browser.

There are two folders: “Event” which is for event-triggered recordings, e.g. , motion detection alerts, and “Schedule” which contains recordings that the camera recorded if sch eduled recording is enabled.

Refer to the section 8 “Event” f or m or e details on the setup.

Above: Each day has its own folder.

Above: Each hour of the day has its own folder.

Above: Individual v ideos c an be pla y ed bac k by selectin g them a nd c lickin g the pla y bu tton.

Above: Play ba ck of one event recording in the web browser (MSIE only).

Item Description

Move one folder up Refresh the view Delete the selected file Select all items in th e folder Playback the selected video Download selected item to your computer’s h a r d dr iv e.

7.2 Local S torage

If your camera is equ ipped with a local storage option (recording on an SC card) you can access the recordings from h er e . It functions similarly to the access of files on the network storage device.

8. Setting_Event

Your ZAVIO network camera supports so-called events. When an event occurs, you can have the camera perform an action, e.g., record a video to a remote location. This section describes how to set up event s ervers, events, motion detection a nd the scheduler.

8.1 Event Server

First you need to set up an event server, or multiple event servers.

8.1.1 Event Server

Click “Add” to create a new event server.

Add a FTP Server General:

Name- Provide a name for the server.

Server Setting:

Server Type- Select “FTP” Network Address- Type in the address of

your FTP server .

Server Port- Leave at 21, unless your FTP serv er uses a different port. Upload path-upload path User Name and passw ord- Provide valid l ogin credentials for the FTP server. Re-type Password-type password again Passive Mode- Select “On” if your FTP server utilizes passive FTP, which is the most

common method.

Test- Press on T e s t button to make su r e the FTP server information is all correct.

Add a SMTP Server Server Setting:

Server Type- Select “SMTP.” Mail Server- Type in the a ddr es s of your mail server. Server Port- Adjust the server

port if necessary. Port 25 is standard, but your server may be using different va lues (not so uncommon these days as an anti-spam measure). Authentication- If your mail server requires authentication in order to send email, and most s erv er s do thes e day s, s et au th entic ation to “On ” an d define the type of authentication below.

User Name and passw ord- Provide valid log in credentials for the email server. Send mail from- The camera will use this address as its own email address. This email

address does not necessarily need to be a valid address. Send test email to- Ente r the email addre ss to whic h you want th e camera to send the images and click on Test. If the test succeeds you can provide the information for the media settings and click “Save”. The actual target email address is def ined when you set up an event in the next

section. Add a HTTP Server: A HTTP server c an be used by the camera to trigger a script on a remote server if an event occurs. User name, password and proxy fields are all optional.

Adding a Network St orage:

Server Type- Select “Network Storage.”

Type- Select a valid

type for your

network storage

(either Windows S MB

or Linux NFS).

Network Storage

Location- Enter the

address of your local

storage server as

shown on the right.

User Name and passw ord- Provide valid log in credentials for the network storage

server.

Create Folder- T ype in a folder nam e in which you w ant th e camer a to stor e files. This

field is optional.

Test- Press on Test button to make sure the N AS information is all corr e c t. Media Settings:

Here you define what kind of media you wish to upload (snapshot, video), how many images pre and post event you wish to upload, the image file n a m e a nd the suffix.

8.1.2 SD Card

If you want to record video footage on a local SD card, y ou first must ins ert the SD card (see hardware ins tallation gu ide for deta ils), and then you mus t set the Mem ory Card to “on” and format the card by c lic king “Execute .”

Noted: Only FAT32 is supported, please do not format the SD card to other format. Noted: Please power off the camera before taking off memory card.

8.2 Event List

Now that we have created an Event Server, we can proceed with setting up actual events.

8.2.1 Event List

Click on the “Add” button to b eg in.

Trigger:

You need to specify the trigger type.

The drop-down list below s hows the

available options. Note that depending

on your camera model, the options will

vary.

Motion Detection- The camera monitors the video image f or mo v emen ts an d trigger s

an alert when it detects mo tion. Motion detecti on needs to be c onfigured firs t for that to

work.

Tampering Detection- The camera can detect if it’s being tampered with, e.g., if

someone covers the len s, and triggers an aler t when this happen s. Tampering detection

needs to be configured for that to work.

Digital Input- If your camera is equip ped with d igital inpu ts (see ha rdware in stallation

guide), then you can use them as a trigger mech anism. A common example would be to

use 3rd party motion detection sensors that trigger the camera to start a recording.

Periodical- This trigger type can be used if you want the ca mera to perform the same

action over a nd over again, bas ed on a time period. A typ ic a l application wou ld be to

have the camera r efresh an image on your web site every 60 seconds.

Action:

After you ha ve selected the tr ipper type, y ou now have to def ine the action (s). In other words, what do you w an t the camera to do if th e event occurs?

Send Image- Instructs the camera to sen d out images. When selected, you need to specify whethe r you w ant to use FT P, network stora ge or S D card. You ma y need to se t

up these servers firs t (s ee previous section) in order to use them here. Send Notification- This action type uses the HTT P event server. You can use this to have the camera trigger a script on a server. Activate Digital Output- If y our camera is equipp ed with digital outpu ts, then you ca n use them to perform a n action. Y ou can specific h ow long you want th e camera to trigger the event once you have selected Digital 1. PTZ Action- This ac tion type will m ake the c amera to mov e to/point at a certain preset position or start run a certain predefined tour when the event occurs.

Schedule:

Here you can d efine when you want this action to b e active. You can choose between “Always” or a schedule that you h ave defined (see “Sch edule” a few pages down).

8.2.2 Scheduled Recording

Schedule Recor ding:

This feature is allow ing the camera to record th e video by following a certain schedule such as always record or record the video during the weekend.

Action: Define each recorded video file size to save. You can choose to store the video to NAS or S D card, which need to be pre-configured in event server.

8.3 M otion Detection

The ZAVIO network camera is able to mon itor the video footage for movem ents and trigger an alert if motion h as been detec ted. T his m otion d etec tion does not ut iliz e pass iv e infr ared , but instead it reli es on a frame by f rame comparison of the video footage th e camera captures. You c a n def ine more than one motion detection a rea . The example above sh ow s tha t so-called hotspot has been created for the area of the window. When you set up an event for motion detection , you can select which motion detection area you wish to monitor. Threshold and s ens itivi ty w ill n eed to be se t u p s o th at you don’t miss imp orta n t events and are not flooded by fa lse alarms either. Finding the right values will require some trial and error . There are no standard values tha t s im p ly “will work” as it depends very much on the actual location and light levels. Gener ally speaking, in c r e a sing the sensitiv ity while lowering the threshold will gen erate more false alarms but it ensures that you will not miss an important event. Doing th e op posite will of course have the opposite effect: Fewer false alarms at an

increased risk or m is sing an important event.

8.4 Tampering Detection

If the image of the camera is obstru cted, e.g. , because someone c overs up the lens or mov es the image out of foc us, the c amer a notices this and generates a trigger alert. Y ou can define how long you want the alert state to rem ain active after the event has occurred.

8.5 Schedule

The Network Camera supports event trigger actions that can be based on a schedule. This can

be used, as an example, to only ac tivate motion detection betw een 9 pm and 6 am during business days an d around the clock on the wee kends. Y ou can set up indiv idual schedules f or each event ty pe, so that motion detection is act ivated between 7 pm and 7 am, but tampering detection is only activated between 10 pm and 4 am. Depending on your camera model, the screen layout will vary slightly. There are three default sch edules which you cannot delete, but you can modify them. You can create a new schedule by clicking “Add.”

First you need to pro vide a name for the schedule (n ot shown on image). Then select a star t and end time and click on “ Add” for the day of the week the schedule is supposed to be activ e. As soon as you add a schedule, the timeline turns r ed , indicating the active schedule. If the schedule is the same for every day of the week, you can a c tivate the option “Use the sam e time schedule every da y.”

9. Setting_System

The system menu pro vides acces s to a variety of system settings of your ZAVIO network camera.

9.1 Maintenance

Restart:

You can restart the network camera by hitting the restart button . Set Auto Res tart to “On” if you wish to reboot the camera automatically, and then you specify the reboot mode. Select “Sequential mode” and specif y after how many days of uptime you want the cam era to reboot. Select “Schedule Mode” to control wh en the reboot is to occur in a much more detailed way.

Backup/Restore:

Default- Click this button to rest ore h e f ac tory defa ult set ting s in this ca mer a . You can

choose to exclude the IP and date & time se ttings.

Backup- This func tion allows s aving th e current con figura tion of the c amera to a file on

your computer’s hard drive. S aving the configuration is useful in case you ever wan t to

reload a specific c onfiguration ; e.g. , in order to set up an other camera of th e same model

and firmware version with the exact same configuration. Since the IP address

configuration is also part of th e setting date, y ou must be careful n ot to restore the sam e

settings to two or more cameras when all of them are connected to the same netw ork.

Otherwise, y ou would be creating an IP conflict in y our network.

Restore- With this function, you c an reload a previous ly saved conf iguration back into

your camera. Click Browse to loc ate the configuration file a nd OK to begin the proc e s s .

The camera will perform a reboot at the en d of the procedure an d the new settings wil l

become effective.

Firmware Upgrade:

From time to time, there will be a new firm ware version available for your camera. New firmware versions can enhance the functionality of the camera , or they can fix proble m s. Before you begin, mak e sure th at you hav e obtained a proper fir mwa re from the ZAVIO web site. If you ar e not 1 00% sure about this, do not proceed. Instead, contact th e technical support team to v e r ify the firmware version. A lso, do not perform the upgrade from a computer that is con nected to the network wirelessly, as the connection is inheren tly less stable than a cable-based connection. If you have the corr e c t firmware file, m a ke sure that you un-compress the ZIP file first ( if the firmware f ile is an archive) and you en d up with a file that has an ex tension *.bin . Click on B rowse and select th e *bin file. Click on O K to begin th e

upgrade process. Language: You c a n repla c e th e la nguage in the user interfac e of your network camera. On the Installation CD a re different languag e files starting with “LNG_” and ending with “.lang. ” Clic k on Browse, select th e language y ou wish to install and the n click on OK to begin the process.

9.2 Date Time

Refer to section 5.3

9.3 Security

9.3.1 Account

Refer to 5.1

9.3.2 IP Address Filter

Once you enabled it, the lis ted IP address are allowed or den ied access to the network camera. Add the IP address that you’d lik e to allow or d eny , select allow or den y from the l ist and sav e it.

9.3.3 HTTPS

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that provides security for

communications over networks s uch as the Internet. HTTPS is a UR I scheme used to indicate a secure HTTP connection (SSL encrypted). It is syntactically similar to the http:// scheme that is normally used for accessing resources using HTTP. The differences are that SSL-encrypted connections always begin with https:// instead of http://. HTTPS connections use TCP port 443 b y default, compared to standard H TTP connections, w hich use port 80. Create & Install: Create a self-signed certificate for HT TPS to recognize. Installed Certificate: Display or remove the properties of the installed cer tificate. HTTPS Connection Policy: Set HTT PS c onnection policy for different level of users. To use the HTTPS encryption, please set up “Create self-s ign ed c er tificate” for the first time

you use the HTTPS function , and then set up the conn ection policy for different users. Note: When enable HT TPS with R TSP on mode, the IP Camer a only protect the settin g such as username and password an d do not protect video a nd audio . When en able HT TPS with R TSP off mode, the IP Ca m era will protect all se tting includin g video and audio.

9.4.1 TCP/IP

Refer to section 5.2.1

9.4.2 PPPoE

Refer to section 5.2.2

9.5 Network Advanced

9.5.1 RTSP

General:

RTP Port Range- The default value of port range is 5000 ~ 7999 and can be chan ged

from 1124 to 65534.

RTSP Port- RTSP stands for R e al Tim e S tream ing Protoc ol. RTSP is suppor ted by m ost media clients, such as Real Player, VLC and QuickTim e. If you only plan to view the

camera v id eo w ith your Web browser or with one of th e pro v i ded s of tw ar e u tilities , you do not need to activ ate this option. The def a ult value is 554 and can be changed fr om

1124 to 65534. RTSP Configurati on:

This option allows you to set up th e URL f or each profile a nd def ine wh ether or not y ou w ant to enable or disable auth entication. By defa ult, the video URL and profi le number are related, e.g. , profilex = video.prox , bu t you change it any way you like. Based on the default URLs, access to the RTSP streams would be done like this: rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro1

rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro2 rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro3 rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro4 If authentication is enabled, the URLs will change as follows: rtsp://username:password@camera_address:554/video.pro1 [...] rtsp://username:password@camera_address:554/video.pro4

9.5.2 UPnP

UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play. A UPnP-enabled device, such as your network camera, an nounces its presence in the local network to other computers that support U PnP as well. The operating systems Win d ows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7/8 support UPnP . When the network camer a is connected to the n etwork, Win dows will alert the c omputer user of the presence of the new dev ice (a new icon will be added to y our My Network Places folder) and lets the user connect to the device in s tantaneously. Furthermore, UPnP has the ability to in struct the router or firewall to open certain ports, so that a party from the outside world can c ontact a device on the loc al network, suc h as the network camera. UPnP port forwar ding is not su pported by all rou ters, h owever. So, depending on your rou ter or firewall, y ou may or may not be a ble use th is function , also, ope ning ports in an y router or firewall increases the risk of an intruder success fully breaking in to your network. UPnP automates this ta sk an d le a v es it to th e d evic es t o n egot iate w h ich ports to ope n . S inc e th is is done without any form of authentication, enabling U P nP port forwar ding in your router is

not necessarily a good idea in a security-sensitive environment. You can always open individual ports in your router or f ir ewall manually. In the camera UPnP is enabled by defau lt. UPnP port forwardin g is disabled by default. When you enable UPnP port forwa r ding, the screen will reveal addi ti onal options. These are the ports the camera w ill instr uct th e router to op en. Depen ding on th e came ra m odel, you may see different ports. The new H.264 M egapixel cameras ha ve a simpler port model and require fewer ports than the other models. Normally there is n o need to change any of these ports, unless you know that a port is already in use by a different device or application.

9.5.3 Bonjour

UPnP Bonjour is a servic e tha t, just like UPnP, helps to find the n e twork camera on th e network. Bonj our is available f or W indows, but is more c om m only used for MacOS..

Bonjour:

Bonjour On- Enables the service (on by default).

Bonjour Off- Disables the service

Device name- Enter the name of your camera here. This is the name the Bonjour

service will displa y. If you have more th a n on e ca mer a in stalled in y ou r netw ork , this is

an easy way to differentiate among the cameras.

9.5.4 DDNS

If you are not plan n ing on con ne ctin g to the netw ork camera over a rem ote con n ection , bu t only in your loca l network, you can skip this section. Dynamic DNS is a netw ork s erv ice th at pr ov ides the ca pabil ity for a n etwor k ed devic e, su ch as a router or computer system, to notify a domain name s e r ver to change, in real time (ad-hoc) the active D N S configuration of its configure d host names, addresses or other information stor ed in DNS. In simpler terms: Users of priv ate Intern et services are often f aced with a problem: The ISP typically changes the IP address assigned to th e user based on a time interval. This may be as often as once ever y 24 hours or as seldom as once every 30 da ys. For the aver age user this is not a problem. Howev er, if you want to be able to connect to th e local camera (e.g. , in you r house) from a remote location (e.g., the office), you need to know under which Intern et address the camera can be reached. However, you don’t know what the current In ter net IP address is. So you are beginn ing to see the problem. DDNS solves this problem by allow ing y ou to cr eate a domain n ame f or y our home netw ork, which you can always use to access the camera. T o use the DDNS func tion, y ou w ill n eed to do the following two things. First, create a DDNS hostname with a DDNS service provider Secondly, set up a DDNS client in the home netw ork tha t contacts the DDNS serv ice provide r and updates the I P information. If the router in y our home network is equipped with a DD NS client, we re commend usin g the router instead of the cam er a. M ost SOH O router s are equippe d with a DDNS clie nt an d since the router is in direct control of handling the Internet connection, it’s the device be s t s uited

for the DDNS task.

Server Name- Select the DDNS provider of your choice. In our example we use

no-ip.com.

User ID- Enter the same u ser name h ere that y ou use to log in t o your a ccount settin gs

on www. dyndns.org. Do not enter your DSL user account information here.

Password- Enter the password for your no-ip.com user account here. Re-type the

password in the field below.

Host name- You need to enter the full host name tha t you have cr eated in your

no-ip.com account here.

Periodic Update- Y ou can either specify th e time in minutes after which the camera w ill

update its IP informa tion with the DDNS pro vider, or you can leave the setting as “ Au to” ,

which is recommended.

Click “Save” to a ctiv a te th e settin gs. Reboot the camer a to a ctivate the DDNS settin gs .

After a reboot y ou may need to wa it for a few minu tes before you c an access the camera

with the new domain name.

9.6 Digital I/O

If your ZAVIO network camer a is equipp ed with a digita l I/O inte rface, y ou can con figure th e connections on th is page. The screen shows the current status of input 1/ input 2 and output 1/ output 2. The screen a lso a llows y ou to def ine the “ nor ma l” s tate of th e port. T h e nor ma l state can be viewed as the “n on-alert-state.”

9.7 PoE

When you empow er IP Camera, the system will detect a f/ at mode of PoE automatically.

802.3af:

When IR LEDs are on, heater or fan will be disabled even the temperature is reaching th e trigger condition.

802.3at:

When IR LEDs are on, heater or fan will be activated when th e temperature is reaching the trigger condition.

9.8 LED

You can enable or disable the operat ion LEDs on y our ZAVIO network camera. Hiding the LED indicator will m ake the c amera a ppear to be offline w hile in fact i t is oper ational a nd captu res

The Network Camera features a log function for system messages. These are system messages about the camera start-up procedure, e-mail deliveries, FTP uploads, motion detection and more. The camera stores the messages in its internal memory and displa ys them on the sy s tem log screen. Since mem ory is limited, th e messages will eventually be truncated. If you need to log all the sys tem messages on a remote server (e.g., for permanent record keeping of alarm events or for troubleshootin g purposes), you can utilize the remote log functiona lity.

Enable Remote Log:

Server Name- Type in the netw ork address of th e system log server. Enter the address

without any lea d ing characters, such as http://.

Server Port- The standar d port for this protocol is 514 . If your system log server is set

up differently, you can change the value here. Current Log: This text box displays the real-time log of the camera messages. The remote log function uses the System Log Protocol, which is a standard for f or warding log messa ge s in an IP

network. System Log is a client/server protocol. The Sys tem Log sender (the Network Camera) sends a small (less than 1KB) textual message to the System Log server. This user manual shows one example of a System Log server, the 3CDaemon utility by 3Com Corporation (D ownload Location : http://support.3com.com/software/utilities_for_windows_32_bit.htm). After the installation of 3CDaemon, the main program window opens and the program is r eady to receive S ystem Log messages from the network c a mera. The messages shown here are the same messages that are displayed in the Web browser.
