ZIP IPC USER MANUAL

1. Overview

1.1 Range of IP Address

The ZIP range of IP cameras use an identical menu system which is detailed below. The default IP address is 192.168.10.1. If you are connecting this camera to a network which is not on a

192.168.10 address, then you will have change the IP address in the camera. The safest way is to connect this camera straight to a PC that is set to a 192.168.10 address using a crossover cable or using the LCD390 test monitor. Other methods are covered in more detail later in this manual.

1.2 Product Description

The ZIP IP camera is a digital online surveillance camera embedded with a Web server and capable of independent operation, giving the user access to real-time monitoring through a web browser.

The camera uses an integrated media processing platform for audio and video with H.264/ H265 High Profile encoding standards. Any remote user can have access to real-time monitoring by entering the IP address or domain name of the IP camera in the web browser.

The IP cameras can be managed by several users with different authorisation levels. IP cameras allow motion detection and send e-mails and can take snapshots in cases of emergency,

with the image or video snapshot stored on the internal SD card. Note that record times will vary according to the size of the SD card but will normally be short due to the large storage space taken by HD video and audio.

1.3 Operation Environment

Operating system: Windows 10 / Windows 7/ Windows 8 / Windows 2008 (32/64-bit), Windows 2003 / Windows XP / Windows 2000 (32-bit) CPU: Intel Core Duo II dual-core processor or higher Memory: 1G or more Video memory: 256M or more Display: 1024 × 768 or higher resolution IE: IE 6.0 or higher version

ZIP IPC USER MANUAL

2. IP Camera Connection

2.1 Connection direct to PC via a crossover cable

Connect IP camera to a PC via a crossover cable, with power input connected to a DC 12V power supply and set the IP addresses of the PC and IP camera in the same network subnet. The IP camera will communicate with the PC if the IP address in the camera is changed so that it is in the same subnet as the PC. This can be done prior to connecting IP camera to a network.

2.2 Connection direct to PC via a LAN/Patch cable

Connect IP camera to a PC via a LAN/Patch cable, with power input connected to a DC 12V power supply and set the IP addresses of the PC and IP camera in the same network subnet. The IP camera will communicate with the PC within one minute if the IP address in the camera is changed so that it is in the same subnet as the PC.

2.3 Connection to a router or switch

The most common use is connecting the IP camera to the Internet, where the camera and PC are connected to LAN ports on a router or switch, with the gateway of the camera and PC set to the IP address of the router.

3. Device Operation Instructions

3.1 Check Connection

1. The default factory IP address for the IP camera is 192.168.10.1 and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0. Change your computer IP address to the same network subnet as the IP camera, for example: IP Address of PC to 192.168.10.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 same as that of the IP camera.

2. Example: To test whether the IP camera is connected properly try pinging it, by clicking on the Windows button and the letter ‘R’ on the PC keyboard, entering the Run box in left hand corner of screen and entering “CMD” and click OK to display a black MSDOS screen with a flashing cursor. Then type <PING 192.168.10.1> (or IP address of IP camera)

Display should confirm the following: pinging IP address 192.168.10.1 - four times and - Packets Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0.

3. This indicates that the IP camera operates normally and the network is connected properly.

3.2 Searching for IP camera device using ZipFinder and changing IP etc.

ZipFinder may be used for searching and changing IP devices on a network. This program will be found on the client CD software disk supplied with the IP camera. To run ZipFinder click on the local connection icon on the desktop. Note that this tool must be used with care and must be removed once the IP addressing is completed.

1. First go onto the Windows PC and add an IP address in the range of the IP default address so the IP cameras that can be detected by your PC. Then by running ZipFinder you can search any device within the IP address range of the IP camera and the existing PC IP address range. Step A Go to Control Panel, Network and Internet, Networking and Sharing Centre and then click on Local Area Connection.

4.8.4 Pedestrian Detection (PD)

Purpose of Function

The purpose of this option is to draw a box in an area of the picture, so that when a moving object enters the detection area, the program extracts the moving foreground to analyse whether there is a human involved. The box must be a convex quadrilateral e.g and not and must contain the whole body.

Trigger Conditions:

1) Minimum area for targeting movement: The minimum target areas that can be detected respectively under the detection levels from small to large, account for about 4.0%-7.4% of the whole picture size. To aid sizing of the detection area box you will see two red boxes in top left hand corner of the picture. These boxes vary in size when clicking on the Target size parameter either Small, medium or Large. The minimum target area will be between the area size between the two red boxes.

2) The pedestrians must be within the scope of the drawn detection area.

3) The pedestrians must be moving.

Switch：Click to Enable or Disable option Latch Time: The external output alarm latch time can be set to 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds. Post Recording: After an alarm is triggered, the optional record time for continuous video

recording can be set to 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds. Target Size: The parameter scope for detection level includes Small, Medium and Large, with a default value of Medium. The Small parameter is used for a detection area further away that will require a smaller detection box. The Large target size will generally require a larger detection box because the subject will be closer.

Scene: Indoor only. Enable I/O Out: whether the triggered alarm has I/O output. Send Email: If an alarm is triggered, an Email will be sent as a notice, with corresponding Emails

set in Remote Setting-Network-Email.

ZIP IPC USER MANUAL

Record: whether a video is recorded. Rule Number: Only one rule can be set Rule Switch: Enable / Disable Rule Type: Normal only.

How Pedestrian Detection Works:

Below is the instructions for setting up Pedestrian Detection. When an alarm is triggered, the moving target will be surrounded by a coloured rectangular box and a letter is shown just under the preview picture. The letter for Pedestrian Detection is “S” for Smart option and the colour is red for record or green for no record. If options for standard continuous recording or motion have also been set then you may also see a letter “R” for normal continuous

recording or “M” for motion recording and again the colour will be red for record or green for no

record. If the I/O alarm option has been set then a letter “I” will be displayed, and again this will be

in red for record or green for no record.

Note these colour codes do no relate to the colour codes used in the Record Schedule/Playback Screen.

Method for setting up:

1. Enter the Pedestrian Detection interface and set Enable.

2. Click the mouse button in the area where you need to draw the target pedestrian detection box and choose the Rule Number without drawing the pedestrian detection area yet.

3. Enable rule.

4. Now using a mouse create a convex quadrilateral box (See comments about Purpose of Function above). Create this yellow box by dragging the cursor point and clicking on 4 points, which will be connected and form an enclosed area. In one corner of the area created you will see a small red square. Now click on Save. The save will only be actioned if the shape is a convex quadrilateral shape. To modify the shape of the drawn pedestrian detection area you can only select the small number box of the area and turn the yellow area into a red area. You can now click on one of the red circle points of the area to adjust the shape.

5. To delete the pedestrian detection area, you can only select its number box and click Delete, while ‘Delete All’ means to delete all the existing pedestrian detection areas if your camera provides more than one pedestrian detection area.

Note:

1) The set detection area must be accessible for pedestrians to avoid an invalid detection and the detection area should cover the whole body in the picture to avoid the failure to trigger an alarm.

4.8.5 Face Detection (FD)

Purpose of Function

The purpose of this option is to draw a box in an area of the picture, so that when a person enters the detection area, the program extracts the moving foreground to analyse whether a front view of a person’s face is involved. NOTE: The channel must be in mainstream mode in order to display the trace boxes when in preview mode.

Trigger Conditions:

1) Minimum area for targeting movement: The minimum target areas that can be detected respectively under the detection levels from small to large, account for about 0.44% ~ 0.72% of the whole picture size. To aid sizing of the detection area box you will see two red boxes in top left hand corner of the picture. These boxes vary in size when clicking on the Target size parameter either Small, medium or Large. The minimum target area will be between the area size of the two red boxes.

2) The human faces must be within the scope of the drawn detection area.

3) The human face must be a moving front view.

Display results:

When an alarm is triggered, the moving target will be surrounded by a green rectangular box. In the middle of the picture just below this box you will see the letter ‘S’ displayed for Smart option running. This letter will be red in colour when the camera is recording and green when no video is recorded.

Parameters: Switch：Click to Enable or Disable option Latch Time: The external output alarm latch time can be set to 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.

4.8.6 Cross Counting (CC)

Purpose of Function

The purpose of this option is to calculate the number of pedestrian movements or objects crossing a line either from A to B or from B to A and produce analytical statistics over a time period. The option to produce the statistics is found in the System Menu - Smart Analysis.

Display Results

This option provides statistical information that is used by the Smart Analysis menu in the System Menu. There are 3 options - List, Histogram or Line Chart.

List option - Example for a Daily Report

This option provides a statistical report for a Daily, Monthly or Annual Extract for Object or Pedestrian movement moving from A to B or from B to A. Further reports and available in Histogram or Line Chart format. Note that using Pedestrian requires the complete body crossing the line whereas the Object settings detects all objects and partial bodies.

Histogram option - Example for a Weekly Report

This option provides a histogram report for a Daily, Monthly or Annual Extract for Object or Pedestrian movement moving from A to B or from B to A.

Line Chart option - Example for a Monthly Report

Line Chart option - Example for an Annual Report

The two examples above show line chart reports that can be extracted for a Daily, Monthly or Annual Extract for Object or Pedestrian movement moving from A to B or from B to A.
