For Internet access configuration, please contact your local ISP for global IP address. Once the physical Internet connection gets installed, enter IP address (global), Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP from the ISP.
Chapter 3-4-3 HTTP & RTSP Service HTTP protocol is a reliable protocol for sending video streaming. Port forwarding technology can be used for sending video over Internet. The detail is described in the appendix. For changing HTTP service’s port number, please consult available port number from your network administrator. Change the port number at the port field and click on “Submit” button.
E-mail receiver setting E-mail address— E-mail address of the recipient E-mail sender setting E-mail address— E-mail address of the sender Auto E-mail sent with snapshot—constantly send JPEG snapshot within E-mail dwell time.
FTP server IP/DNS— IP address or domain name of the FTP server Account— Account of the FTP server Password— Password of the account Directory—File path for storing the JPEG snapshots Prefix—Prefix of the JPEG filename Date format—Date format string for the JPEG filename Postfix—Postfix of the JPEG filename Auto FTP sent—Constantly send JPEG snapshot within FTP dwell time.
Chapter 3-5 Video Settings This section describes the details in setting the H.264 FULL HD video’s attributes. Bit rate control, video input, and video resolution, settings can be configured. Chapter 3-5-1 Video General For transmitting H.264 FULL HD video over low bandwidth network such as Internet, please set the bit rate close to network upload bandwidth. H.264 FULL HD can encode frames based on the bit rate setting.
Bit Rate: Maximum bit rate available for a network connection Output Frame Rate: the frame rate of the profile GOP: I frame period per second Video Output: NTSC/PAL video system Power line frequency: 60Hz/50Hz lighting power frequency Chapter 3-5-2 Weighted Streaming Mode Weighted streaming mode is activated when an alarm went off. The streaming goes to the maximum speed, for example 30 FPS. If there is no alarm activity, the streaming stays one frame per second for saving bandwidth and storage.
To setup Exposure Control, Automatic Gain Control, White Balance Control, please adjust the value accordingly. To increase, the sensitivity at nights, please adjust Sense Up feature. Exposure Value: Adjust the value of the image exposure WDR: Enable or disable wide dynamic range feature. Black-light Compensation: Increase the exposure to the darker object.
No Sense-Up 3 Frame Sense-Up Chapter 3-5-4 MoonLight function MoonLight function feature is for low-light and high sensitivity DSP control enabling outstanding video quality at difficult environment. MoonLight function technology can be used for both black-n-white and/or color video mode. To do so, please first enable Auto Gain Control (AGC) setting. However, the combinational use of 3D noise reduction (3D DNR) can even reduce noise at low light environment. AGC and 3D DNR do not cause motion blur.
Chapter 3-5-6 Region of Interest (ROI) Region of interest (ROI) feature is for sub-stream (D1 or CIF) video buffer to scale and to crop on main video buffer (1080P) to meet best-fit video area. The major purpose is to use sub-stream for saving storage or bandwidth. Not Important Area Crop & Scale to D1 To enable ROI feature, please first select “Enable ROI”. button to get best-fit video area.
Chapter 3-6 IR Cut Removable IR Cut removable allows to schedule IR activation by (1) auto, (2) day, (3) night, or (4) schedule. When the setting is set to "Auto", IR activation is determined by the light sensor. "Night" setting means that the IR cut filter is removed. "Day" setting means that the IR cut filter is forced to be always on. When activation schedule is enabled, IR cut filter can be scheduled based on a specific time frame.
SD Recording: Enable SD card recording. Alarm/Motion Triggering: Digital input, face detection, tampering detection, and motion detection SD card recording. Recording Time: Post alarm recording time. Continuous: Continuous recording mode No Network Activity: If there is no network connection, perform SD recording. Recording Format: Recording resolution SD System Status: SD Linux mounting status.
Chapter 3-8 Alarm Settings H.264 FULL HD AiP camera’s hardware alarm system contains motion detection, alarm sensors, and one alarm/relay output. Many alarm features such as motion/alarm email notification and FTP archiving can be found at this section. Chapter 3-8-1 Motion/Alarm Setup There are motion detection zones allowed in the H.264 FULL HD AiP camera. A user can enable the detection zones with different sensitivities ranging from 1 to 99 (highest to lowest) for motion detection.
Chapter 3-8-4 Face Detection The video analytics contains face detection engine. There are up to 4 faces can be detected. Each face should be at least 1/20 out of the video size for recognition purpose. Once a face is detected, the alarm output, e-Mail with a snapshot, and/or an FTP snapshot can be triggered.
Chapter 3-8-5 Audio Detection For audio model, the AiP camera has audio detector detecting acoustic level. If the volume exceeds the audio sensitivity value, audio detector triggers an alarm for notification. Chapter 3-8-6 Tampering Detection The AiP camera’s video analytics engine is able to detect tampering. Tampering detection works (1) lens spray paint prevention, (2) camera move prevention, and (3) out of focus prevention. To enable this feature, please set Enable option.
Chapter 3-9 Audio Setting Audio setting is based on the following: MIC Volume: MIC or line input volume Audio Input Mode: Choose MIC input or Line input. Audio Input Gain: Voice input gain magnification Audio Output Volume: Line output volume adjustment Audio Coding Type: G.711 u-Law Sample Rate: Audio sample rate Bit Rate: Audio bit rate.
Appendix Advance Network DDNS and PPPoE Technologies The advantage of using DDNS and PPPoE is to save the cost of IP address. H.264 AVC AiP camera’s PPPoE service gets a dynamic global IP address after system reboot. This IP address may get changed periodically. This is the address needed to access the video server over Internet. When ISP re-assigns a new IP address to H.264 AVC AiP camera, H.264 AVC AiP camera notifies DDNS service. A remote PC can access H.
Advance Network Port Forwarding Technology Port forwarding technology is an advanced network technology which is widely used for using one global IP shared by many network devices. The network architecture is illustrated as below. Port 80 of the router (192.168.0.10) is assigned to the device IP address, 192.168.0.10. Port 81 of the router is assigned to the device IP address, 192.168.0.11. When Remote PC accesses the router’s port 86 (122.116.191.129), it eventually accesses the video server at 192.168.0.
Specification Video compression Resolution Multiple profile H.264 and Motion JPEG, dual codec QXGA(2048 x 1536), 1080P(1920 x 1080), 720P(1280 x 720), D1(720 x 480), CIF(352 x 240) Up to H.264 2048x1536 15 FPS (Only 3MP AiP cameras provide) Up to H.264 1920x1080 30 FPS, H.264 720x480 30 FPS, JPEG 720x480 25 FPS, JPEG 352x240 25 FPS Up to H.264 1280x720 30 FPS, H.264 720x480 30 FPS, JPEG 352x240 25 FPS Up to H.264 1920x1080 30 FPS, H.264 720x480 30 FPS, JPEG 1280x720 25 FPS Up toH.264 1920x1080 30 FPS, H.
