IMPORTANT:

Refer to the "Panoramic PTZ Installation Guide" in your product CD for design considerations before you proceed with physical installation.

The camera is intended to be installed with an SD series speed dome camera in a "Panoramic PTZ" configuration. Users should take the following into account:

1. There is a dominant - subordinate relationship between the fisheye camera and the speed dome. All configurations are done on a PC running the Calibration tool and a web console with the fisheye camera. The computation required for exerting the Panoramic PTZ control takes place on the fisheye camera.

1. In a panoramic PTZ configuration, the fisheye camera provides an overview over the 360^ hemispheric field of view; while the speed dome provides tracking, zooming, and keeping an object in a view of an adequate size. The configuration is operated via the VAST or Milestone software with easy clicks and drags.

Installation Concerns

Note the following when installing the fisheye and speed dome cameras:

1. Mount the cameras closely together, no greater than 1 meter apart.
2. The cameras should be mounted at the height of 3 to 6 meters from the ground, and their lens at approximately the same height.
3. A configuration thus configured can cover a surveillance area of a radius of 10 meters*.
4. Auto tracking, if applied, is designed to track an intruder in a place where human traffic is not heavy, such as a warehouse or a load area. Heavy traffic can result in a constant shift of tracked objects, and reduce the effectiveness of the feature.

* Note that the 10 meter radius area only applies when using the Auto tracking feature. If using manual control, the surveillance area can be much larger.

Attach Camera to Mounting Adaptor

To attach the camera to AM-51A mounting adaptor,

1. Remove the camera's top cover.
2. Fasten 2 included screws to the D holes (not the D+ hole).

3. Route cables through the adaptor.

4. Align the camera with the mounting adapter and let the 2 screws enter the key holes located on the sides where the camera's cabling interfaces reside, e.g., the Ethernet port.

5. Rotate the camera counterclockwise. You can then see the D+ hole through the slotted screw hole (in front of the Micro SD slot).

6. Fasten screws to secure the camera to the mounting adapter.

Camera Control Area

Display mode: This is a brand new configuration menu exclusively designed for Fisheye cameras. Due to the fisheye lens' wide coverage of 180° hemispheric and 360° panoramic views and to manipulate the details within, the following display modes are provided:

10 - One Original fisheye view.

1P - One Panoramic view

1R - One Regional view

2P - Two Panoramic views

103R - One Original and three Regional views

4R - Four Regional views

4R PRO - Four Regional views interactively displayed when the field of view changes in any of the views

108R - One Original and eight Regional views

* See following discussions for detailed explanation of these modes. The Wall mount type provides another two distinctive modes.

NOTE:

The following fisheye modes will not be available if you select the "1080P Full HD" mode in the Media > Video configuration window. The 1080P Full HD mode is like using the fisheye as an ordinary HD camera.

10 (Original) Display mode:

When mounted on a ceiling, the fisheye camera can cover an approximately 50 m² of surveillance area (hung at a height of approximately 3 meters), while still keeping details in videos with recognizable facial features of people trafficking through the area.

The 10 view is especially adequate for taking an overview glimpse of surveillance area with a ceiling mount camera.

10 View (Original View)

1P (Single Panoramic) Display mode:

With image correction firmware algorithms, the hemispheric image is transformed into a rectilinear stripe in the 1P display mode. Viewers can use the PTZ panel or simply use mouse control to quickly move through the 360^ panoramic view.

Note that the 1P view is apt for an overview, the Zoom in/out function does not apply in this mode.

1R (Single Regional) Display mode:

The 1R mode provides access to one image section within the hemisphere. You can zoom in or out (using the mouse wheel or PTZ panel) or travel through to other areas within the hemisphere using simple mouse clicks and drags. A single click on a particular object can bring the object to the center of your view window. Click and hold down the left mouse button, and you can swipe the view both horizontally and vertically.

2P (Dual Panoramic View) Display mode:

Similar to 1P, the 2P display mode provides simultaneous access to both the front and rear sections of a hemisphere. Both panoramic views are corrected into a more viewable dewarped image. Viewers can use a mouse click and drag to quickly scroll horizontally through the surveillance area.

    B --> C["Extended to rectilinear view (Dewarp)"]
    C --> D["View 1: Camera with monitor, computer interface, etc."]
    C --> E["View 2: Screen with scissors, camera, etc."]

103R (One Original & Three Regional) Display mode:

The 103R mode provides access to multiple live view sections within the hemisphere and the reference to their relative positions on an Original circular view. The FOV indicators (#1 \~ #3) interact with your current operation as you may zoom in/out or move the live view sections elsewhere.

You can zoom in or out or travel to other areas within the hemisphere using identical methods as previously described in the 1R mode.

You can also change the locations of Regional views by dragging the FOV indicators on the "Original" round-shape circular view.

103R (Original & Regional) Mode Screen Control

Tips:

In a Regional view displaying 100% of video feed (via the Resize buttons - see page 35), your mouse wheel can be used to scroll the view window vertically before you click on a live image. After you click on the live image, the mouse wheel becomes the zoom in/out tool.

H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options

○ UDP Unicast
○ UDP Multicast
TCP
HTTP

Depending on your network environment, there are four options with the transmission protocols with H.264 or MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses.
UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 78.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of using the UDP protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users behind a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow camera's streaming data to pass through.

Image settings

On this page, you can tune the White balance, Image adjustment and WDR enhanced parameters. You can configure two sets of preferred settings: one for normal situations, the other for special situations, such as day/night/schedule mode.

White balance: Adjust the value for the best color temperature.

■ Auto: It will automatically adjust the color temperature of the light in response to different light sources. You may follow the steps below to adjust the white balance to the best color temperature.

1. Set the White balance to Auto.

2. Place a sheet of white paper (or a color of a cool color temperature, such as blue) in front of the lens, then allow the Network Camera to automatically adjust the color temperature.

3. Click the Off button on Fix current value to confirm the setting when the camera adjusts and measures the white balance.

■ Manual: This item allows users to manually input the R gain & B gain ratios.

Image Adjustment

■ Brightness: Adjust the image brightness level, which ranges from -5 to +5.

■ Saturation: Adjust the image saturation level, which ranges from 0% to 100%. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

■ Contrast: Adjust the image contrast level, which ranges from -5 to +5.

■ Sharpness: Adjust the image sharpness level, which ranges from 0% to 100%.
■ Gamma curve: Gamma curve: Adjust the image sharpness level, which ranges from 0% to 100%. You may let firmware Optimize your display or select the Manual mode, and pull the slide bar pointer to change the preferred level of Gamma correction towards higher contrast or towards the higher luminance for detailed expression for both dark and lighted areas of an image.
■ Enable low light compensation: Select this option in low light mode, and the values of sharpness and brightness will change automatically. This function also benefits from an automated noise reduction feature.

WDR enhanced: This function allows users to identify more image details with an extreme contrast from an object of interest with one shadowed side against a bright background, e.g., an entrance. You may select the Enable WDR enhanced checkbox, and then adjust the sensitivity (low, high) and the strength (low, medium, high) to reach the best image quality.

You can click on Restore to recall the original settings without incorporating the changes. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save to enable the setting.

If you want to configure another sensor setting for day/night/schedule mode, please click Profile to open the Profile Settings page as shown below.

1. Select the Enable and apply this profile checkbox.
2. Select the applied mode: Day mode, Night mode, or Schedule mode. Please manually enter a range of time if you choose Schedule mode.
3. Configure the White balance and Image adjustment settings in the following columns. Please refer to the previous page for detailed information.
4. Click Save to enable the settings and click Close to exit the page.

Exposure Advanced Mode

On this page, you can set the Exposure measurement window, Exposure level, Exposure mode, Exposure time, Gain control, and Day/Night mode settings. You can configure two sets of Exposure settings: one for normal situations, the other for special situations, such as day/night/schedule mode.

Measurement Window: This function allows users to set measurement window(s) for low light compensation. For example, where low-light objects are posed against an extremely bright background. You may want to exclude the bright sunlight shining through a building's corridor.

■ Full view: Calculate the full range of view and offer appropriate light compensation.
■ Custom: This option allows you to manually add customized windows as inclusive or exclusive regions. A total of 10 windows can be set. Please refer to the next page for detailed illustration.

The inclusive window refers to the "weighted window"; the exclusive window refers to "ignored window". It adopts the weighted averages method to calculate the value. The inclusive windows have a higher priority. You can overlap these windows, and, if you place a exclusive window within a larger inclusive window, the exclusive part of the overlapped windows will be deducted from the inclusive window. An exposure value will then calculated out of the remaining of the inclusive window.

■ BLC (Back Light Compensation): This option will automatically add a "weighted region" in the middle of the window and give the necessary light compensation.

Exposure control:

■ Exposure level: You can manually set the Exposure level, which ranges from -2.0 to +2.0 (dark to bright).

Flickerless: Under some circumstances when there is a difference between the video capture frequency and local AC power frequency (NTSC or PAL), the mismatch causes color shifts or flickering images. If the above mismatch occurs, select the Flickerless checkbox, and the range of Exposure time (the shutter time) will be limited to a range in order to match the AC power frequency. See the screen capture below.

You can click and drag the semi-circular pointers on the Exposure time and Gain control slide bars to specify a range of shutter time and Gain control values within which the camera can automatically tune to an optimal imaging result. For example, you may prefer a shorter shutter time to better capture moving objects, while a faster shutter reduces light and needs to be compensated by electrical brightness gains.

Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode

If your camera is installed with an IR illuminator and the digital output signals are connected to it, you can let system firmware turn on the supplementary illuminator during low-light conditions.

IR cut filter

With a removable IR-cut filter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the filter to let Infrared light pass into the sensor during low light conditions.

■ Auto mode (The Day/Night Exposure Profile will not be available if Auto mode is selected) The Network Camera automatically removes the filter by judging the level of ambient light.

■ Day mode In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut filter at all times to block infrared light from reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.

■ Night mode In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut filter at all times for the sensor to accept infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity.

■ Synchronize with digital input The Network Camera automatically removes the IR cut filter when a digital input is triggered, for example, when the camera is accompanied by an external IR light that comes with its own sensor and provides a signal to the camera. Some camera housings come with such mechanism.

Click the stream item to display the detailed information.

This Network Camera offers real-time SVC, H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG compression standards (Triple Codec) for real-time viewing.

If H.264 or MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol. There are four parameters for you to adjust the video performance:

■ Frame size

You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoothlier video quality.

Regardless of the power line frequency setting (60Hz or 50Hz), the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, and 15fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds.

■ Video quality

A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission. Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is fixed at a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance. The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, 8Mbps, 10Mbps, 12Mbps, 14Mbps, and 16Mbps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

Bit rate restriction: The bit rate configuration is characterized either by the Average or the Upper bound approaches: the target bit rate utilized can be fluctuating around an average bit rate value or using the bit rate value as an Upper bound threshold.

Policy: You may select Frame rate priority or Image quality priority. The firmware dynamically controls bit rate and image quality to maintain the frame rate. If quality priority is selected, frame rate will be slightly compromised.

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

SVC

The SVC (Scalable Video Coding) feature enables streaming of videos for multiple clients from one single set of layered IP packets. Designed for saving bandwidth and CPU load on client stations, the frame rate of a video stream appearing through a view cell can be individually adjusted. This feature applies when an administrator experiences unstable video streaming due to the lack of network bandwidth, less-than-ideal hardware, or during an occurrence of network problems.

VIVOTEK's VAST server (rev. 1.6.1 and later) automatically negotiates with a camera and determines whether a network camera comes with the SVC feature. The SVC checkbox appears if the network camera supports the feature. The same checkbox also appears in the Batch Insert Cameras window. Note that the maximum frame rate varies with different cameras.

The rest of the video configuration options in the SVC column is identical to that of the H.264 protocol.

A sample screen of an SVC configuration option on a VAST LiveClient session is shown below:

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client. There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:

Frame size:

Maximum frame rate:

Video quality

■ Frame size

You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video quality.

The frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, and 15fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value. The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.

■ Video quality

The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

NOTE:

▶ Video quality and fixed quality refers to the compression rate. If you select to enter a Customized value in the Fixed quality menu, a lower value will produce higher quality.
▶ Converting high-quality video may significantly increase the CPU loading, and you may encounter streaming disconnection or video loss while capturing a complicated scene. In the event of occurrence, we suggest you customize a lower video resolution or reduce the frame rate to obtain smooth video.

Media > Audio

Audio Settings

Mute: Select this option to disable audio transmission from the Network Camera to all clients. Note that if mute mode is turned on, no audio data will be transmitted even if audio transmission is enabled on the Client Settings page. In that case, the following message is displayed:

Internal microphone input gain: Select the gain of the internal audio input according to ambient conditions. Adjust the gain from -33dB (least) to 21dB (most).

External microphone input gain: Select the gain of the external audio input according to ambient conditions. Adjust the gain from -33dB (least) to 21dB (most).

Audio type: Select audio codec AAC, GSM-AMR, or G.711 and the bit rate.

■ AAC provides good sound quality at the cost of higher bandwidth consumption. The bit rates are selectable from: 16Kbps, 32Kbps, 48Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps, and 128Kbps.
■ GSM-ARM is designed to optimize speech quality and requires less bandwidth. The bit rates are selectable from: 4.75Kbps, 5.15Kbps, 5.90Kbps, 6.7Kbps, 7.4Kbps, 7.95Kbps, 10.2Kbps, and 12.2Kbps.
■ G.711 also provides good sound quality and requires about 64Kbps. Select pcmu (μ-Law) or pcma (A-Law) mode.

Users can click Media > Video > Stream settings to set up the video quality of linked streams. For more information about how to set up the video quality, please refer to Stream settings on page 64.

When using Mozilla Firefox or Netscape to access the Network Camera and the video mode is set to JPEG, users will receive video comprised of continuous JPEG images. This technology, known as “server push”, allows the Network Camera to feed live pictures to Mozilla Firefox and Netscape.

URL command -- http://:/ For example, when the Access name for stream 2 is set to video2.mjpg:

1. Launch Mozilla Firefox or Netscape.
2. Type the above URL command in the address bar. Press Enter.
3. The JPEG images will be displayed in your web browser.

IMPORTANT:

▶ Microsoft® Internet Explorer does not support server push technology; therefore, using http://:/ will fail to access the Network Camera.
▶ Users can only use URL commands to request the stream 5. For more information about URL commands, please refer to page 137.

RTSP Streaming

To utilize RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that you have set a password for the Network Camera first; please refer to Security > User account on page 88 for details.

Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest.

If basic authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential risks of it being intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.

The availability of the RTSP streaming for the three authentication modes is listed in the following table:

	Quick Time player Real Player
Disable O O
Basic O O
Digest O X

Access name for stream 1 \~ 3: This Network camera supports multiple streams simultaneously. The access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.

If you want to use an RTSP player to access the Network Camera, you HAVE TO set the video mode to H.264 / MPEG-4 and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data. rtsp://:/

For example, when the access name for stream 1 is set to live.sdp:

1. Launch an RTSP player.
2. Choose File > Open URL. A URL dialog box will pop up.
3. Type the above URL command in the address field.
4. The live video will be displayed in your player as shown below.

NOTE:

An original, circular view will be displayed using all RTSP players. For access to the Regional Views, you can install VIVOTEK's ST7501 or VAST software. You can right-click on a live view

window to see the Display mode options.

RTSP port /RTP port for video, audio/ RTCP port for video, audio

■ RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. By default, the port number is set to 554.
■ The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used to deliver video and audio data to the clients. By default, the RTP port for video is set to 5556 and the RTP port for audio is set to 5558.
■ The RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol) allows the Network Camera to transmit the data by monitoring the Internet traffic volume. By default, the RTCP port for video is set to 5557 and the RTCP port for audio is set to 5559.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The RTP port must be an even number and the RTCP port is the RTP port number plus one, and thus is always an odd number. When the RTP port changes, the RTCP port will change accordingly.

If the RTP ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be displayed:

Multicast settings for stream 1 \~ 3: Click the items to display the detailed configuration information. Select the Always multicast option to enable multicast for streams 1 \~ 3.

Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point transmission; multicast, on the other hand, sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore, enabling multicast can effectively save Internet bandwidth.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The multicast RTP port must be an even number and the multicast RTCP port number is the multicast RTP port number plus one, and thus is always odd. When the multicast RTP port changes, the multicast RTCP port will change accordingly.

If the multicast RTP video ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be displayed:

Multicast TTL [1\~255]: The multicast TTL (Time To Live) is the value that tells the router the range a packet can be forwarded.

Network > QoS (Quality of Service)

Advanced Mode

Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.

The following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network:

■ The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data flow.
■ The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher reliability and stability on the network.

Requirements for QoS

To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:

■ All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS.
■ The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.

QoS models

CoS (the VLAN 802.1p model)

IEEE802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates the frame priority level from 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing disciplines to forward the packets.

Below is the setting column for CoS. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0\~4095) and choose the priority for each application (0\~7).

If you assign Video the highest priority level, your network switch will handle video packets first.

NOTE:

▶ A VLAN-capable Switch (802.1p) is required. Web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.
Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery time; they offer a “best-effort.” Users can think of CoS as “coarsely-grained” traffic control and QoS as “finely-grained” traffic control.
▶ Although CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since it is based on L2 protocol.

QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model)

DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queueing theory, and dropping (discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each network node classify packets according to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding treatment; for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.

Below are the setting options of DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint). Specify the DSCP value for each application (0\~63).

Network > DDNS

This section explains how to configure the dynamic domain name service for the Network Camera. DDNS is a service that allows your Network Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name.

Express link

Express Link is a free service provided by VIVOTEK server, which allows users to register a domain name for a network device. One URL can only be mapped to one MAC address. This service will check out if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your router. Unlike DDNS, which requires a user to manually check out details about UPnP port forwarding, the Express Link is more convenient and easy to set up.

Please follow the steps below to enable Express Link:

1. Make sure that your router supports UPnP port forwarding and it is activated, or you may see the following warning message: Express link is not supported under current network environment.
2. Check Enable express link.

If you choose Allow Type, only those clients whose IP addresses are on the Access List below can access the Network Camera, and the others cannot access. On the contrary, if you choose Deny Type, those clients whose IP addresses are on the Access List below will not be allowed to access the Network Camera, and the others can access.

Then you can Add a rule to the following Access List. Please note that the IPv6 access list column will not be displayed unless you enable IPv6 on the Network page. For more information about IPv6 Settings, please refer to Network > Enable IPv6 on page 73 for detailed information.

There are three types of rules:

Single: This rule allows the user to add an IP address to the Allowed/Denied list.

For example:

Network: This rule allows the user to assign a network address and corresponding subnet mask to the Allow/Deny List. The routing prefix is written in CIDR notation. For example:

accesses from IP address 192.168.2.x will be bolcked.

If IPv6 filter is preferred, you will be prompted by the following window. Enter the IPv6 address and the two-digit prefix length to specify the range of IP addresses in your configuration.

Range: This rule allows the user to assign a range of IP addresses to the Allow/Deny List.

Note: This rule is only applied to IPv4.

For example:

Administrator IP address

Always allow the IP address to access this device: You can check this item and add the Administrator's IP address in this field to make sure the Administrator can always connect to the device.

Security > IEEE 802.1x

Advanced Mode

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x settings.

The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates between client and server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.

■ The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:

graph LR
    A["Supplicant Network Camera"] <--> B["Authenticator (Network Switch)"]
    B <--> C["Authentication Server (RADIUS Server)"]

1. Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication.
2. Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A "go between" which restricts unauthorized end users from communicating with the authentication server.
3. Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides whether to accept the end user's access request.

■ VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP and EAP-TLS.

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:

1. Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (i.e., MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS server.
2. Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the configuration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s).

1. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.

NOTE:

▶ The authentication process for 802.1x:

1. The Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates to the Network Camera (the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).
2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certificate, which is then forwarded by the switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch.
3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server's certificate to the Network Camera.
4. Assuming all certificates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera's state to authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-configured port.

Applications > Motion detection

This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to enable motion detection. A total of five motion detection windows can be configured.

Follow the steps below to enable motion detection:

1. Click New to add a new motion detection window.
2. In the Window Name text box, enter a name for the motion detection window.

■ Use four mouse clicks to define the area where Motion Detection will take effect.
■ To change the four points of the rectangular, place your mouse cursor on any of it until it turns into a four-direction mark ❖.

1. Define the sensitivity to moving objects and the space ratio of all alerted pixels by moving the Sensitivity and Percentage slide bar.
2. Click Save to enable the settings.
3. Select Enable motion detection to enable this function.

For example:

√ Enable motion detection

The Percentage Indicator will rise or fall depending on the variation between sequential images. When motions are detected by the Network Camera and are considered to have exceeded the defined threshold, the red bar rises. Meanwhile, the motion detection window will be outlined in red. Photos or videos can be captured instantly and configured to be sent to a remote server (Email, FTP) using this feature as a trigger source. For more information on how to set an event, please refer to Event settings

on page 104.

A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered because the image variations still fall under the defined threshold.

If you want to configure specific motion detection settings individually for day/night/schedule operations, please click Profile to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page as shown below. A total of three motion detection windows can be configured on this page as well.

Please follow the steps beolw to set up a profile:

1. Create a new motion detection window.
2. Check Enable this profile.
3. Select the applicable mode: Day mode, Night mode, or Schedule mode. Please manually enter a time range if you prefer the Schedule mode.
4. Click Save to enable the settings and click Close to exit the page.

This motion detection window will also be displayed on the Event settings page. You can go to Event > Event settings > Trigger to choose it as a trigger source. Please refer to page 105 for detailed information.

NOTE:

▶ How does motion detection work?

B
Enable motion detection

D

Illustration of a cat with green grass and blue flowers on a grid background (no text or symbols)

There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher sensitivity settings are expected to detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera defines the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).

Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identified as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the defined threshold; therefore, the motion window will be outlined in red.

For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values.

4. You can then click on the screen, each click produces a red square (as a corner mark) to mark the area. Up to 20 red squares can be applied to mark an area of a complicated shape. Double-click on the screen to end the configuration process. Click and drag to change the corner marks' positions.
5. The green square in the middle of the screen indicates the minimum object size. Auto tracking will be activated only if the objects entering the region are larger than the minimum size. The smallest object size is 1.56% x 1.56% of the fisheye's field of view. You can click and drag to resize, or drag the mini. size square to a place on the screen to compare and estimate the size of objects that might enter a region of interest.
6. You can also manually enter numbers in the percentage boxes to change the size of the minimum object size.

Applications > Panoramic PTZ

- You can change the Sensitivity value using a pull-down menu. If you select a customized value, a slide bar will appear allowing you to change to a value between 0 and 100. The default is 30.

1. Click Save to preserve your configuration. Note that you can only configure one region of interest, and the speed dome can track one moving object at a time.

Since only one region of interest is allowed, as long as there is an existing region, the Add button will be unavailable.

NOTE:

1. Auto tracking is configured on the fisheye camera, and the fisheye camera commands the speed dome camera to track an intruding object.
2. The speed dome can track one object at a time.
3. If multiple objects are present, the camera tracks the object that is farthest from the camera.
4. If a tracked object stays motionless for 10 seconds, camera will abandon it and start tracking another object that is farthest away from the center.
5. Camera will perform corresponding zoom in/out while tracking an object in order to contain just the silhouette of the moving object.
6. Installed at a position 6 meters from the ground, the configuration can track a moving object 60cm in width, in an area that is 10 meters in radius. When installed at a position 3 meters from the ground, the configuration can track a moving object 60cm in width, in an area that is 6 meters in radius.
7. Manual control (such as using a joystick to pan or tilt or using a click on VAST view cell) always has a higher priority than Auto tracking.

Recording > Recording settings Advanced Mode

■ File attributes: Select one or more items as your search criteria.
■ Trigger time: Manually enter the time range you want to search.

Click Search and the recorded data corresponding to the search criteria will be listed in Search Results window.

IMPORTANT:

Due to the limitations of file system and video recording format, a video recording interrupted by sabotage or power outage will produce inaccessible video fragments. And the loss of video makes it difficult to identify who sabotaged the camera and the assets it aims to protect.

This revision of firmware (0100d0 and above) supports “Recoverable Recording,” a feature that enables the usability of video footages taken immediately before (less than 1 second) an interruption. By inserting meta tags and pointers to videos, videos recorded to the onboard SD card or networked storage is viewable even when it is abnormally discontinued. Some video frames will still be lost, yet it is now possible to retrieve important footages taken before a camera is destroyed or its power disconnected.

You can select the Recovered checkbox to search for the videos particularly affected by an interruption.

Search Results

The following is an example of search results. There are four columns: Trigger time, Media type, Trigger type, and Locked. Click ♦ to sort the search results in either direction.

■ View: Click on a search result which will highlight the selected item in purple as shown above. Click the View button and a media window will pop up to play back the selected file.

For example:

Click to select the Display mode

■ Download: Click on a search result to highlight the selected item in purple as shown above. Then click the Download button and a file download window will pop up for you to save the file.

■ JPEGs to AVI: This function only applies to "JPEG" format files such as snapshots. You can select several snapshots from the list, then click this button. Those snapshots will be converted into an AVI file.
■ Lock/Unlock: Select the desired search results, then click this button. The selected items will become Locked, which will not be deleted during cyclic recoding. You can click again to unlock the selections. For example:

■ Remove: Select the desired search results, then click this button to delete the files.

Appendix

URL Commands for the Network Camera

1. Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax. This section specifies the external HTTP-based application programming interface. The HTTP-based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.), and get and set internal parameter values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built-in Web server.

2. Style Convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, text within angle brackets denotes content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string, the angle brackets should also be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL syntax example further down in the page.

URL syntax is denoted with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the referenced syntax as shown below. For example, name of the server is written as and is intended to be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam.adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.

Syntax:

http:///cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data is returned in HTTP format, i.e., each line is separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.

Return:

HTTP/1.0 \r\n

URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box with the example.

Example: request a single snapshot image

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, these parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension .cgi is required.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]] 

Example: Set digital output #1 to active

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
