Mirroring: Horizontal: Horizontal mirroring (left/right) Vertical: Vertical mirroring (up/down) Horizontal & vertical: Horizontal and vertical mirroring Vertical display: This setting rotates the image to increase the vertical angle of view. It is necessary to rotate the camera module by 90° when doing this. NOTE: this function is only available in the TRUE WDR mode OFF and 2X.

Network frequency: Here you can set the mains frequency of the power supply network. TRUE WDR (digital overlap): wide dynamic function for improved display of high contrasts. Selection: Off: deactivated 2X: 2x exposure, 2 images with different exposure times are overlapped. 3X (only 2MPx models): 3x exposure, 3 images with different exposure times are overlapped. NOTE: the more images are overlapped, the more trailing effects come into play in moving scenes. The WDR function should only be enabled if the scene requires it. Scenario: These two indoor/outdoor options are used to configure certain pre-settings for the two scenarios in the camera. In the "outdoor" mode, additional filters are enabled for video detectors to prevent the detection of flying leaves, for example, as movement.

For many options, the possibility exists to apply different values for day and night modes. Switch over accordingly during the configuration.97

Brightness, saturation, hue, contrast, sharpness: Adjust these values to suit the ambient conditions.

In the TRUE WDR mode 2X and 3X, the exposure settings are configured automatically. If this mode is deactivated, you can either set the values for the shortest and longest exposure, or fix the exposure time and amplification to a value. Anti-flicker: enable this function if flickering occurs in the video image. Flickering can be caused by an unstable network frequency, fluorescent light or gas lamps.98 Smart IR: function to prevent cross fading from the reflections of objects which are too close (function only when TRUE WDR is off, cross fading is compensated through multiple exposure in TRUE WDR mode)

The BLC function (back light compensation) attempts to improve the appearance of objects in front of a bright background. Identification of the object can be improved here in addition to the WDR function particularly when it comes to close objects.

Note: if the BLC function is enabled, the digital WDR level is fixed (see later) and can no longer be changed.

Enable: activates the BLC function. The digital WDR level is then blocked. Level: the selection of the level -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 depends on the starting scene. Make this selection during the installation.

Mode: Select between different variants of white balance. Automatic, manual, fixed, indoor, outdoor, fluorescent light99

Noise reduction: Function for reducing noise in the image. The higher the value, the more noise is removed and the more static the image appears. Levels: off, low, medium, high

WDR level: wide dynamic function for improved display of high contrasts. The WDR level should be reduced if the image displayed is too bright. Levels: off, low, medium, high100

SD card error: An SD card error can be used to trigger an event in the Event Manager. Network error: Disruptions to the network connection can be detected by the system. In order to use this detector the camera must be equipped with a separate power supply (not PoE). Restart: An event can be triggered after the camera is restarted. Over-exposure: If the camera is over-exposed due to a sudden increase in brightness, this can be detected by the system. Under-exposure: If the camera is under-exposed due to sudden darkness, this can be detected by the system. Colour level: If the camera’s colours begin to drift, this can be detected by the system. Loss of focus: A sudden loss of camera focus can also be detected by the system. Turned: Any turning of the camera can be detected by the system. Covered: If the lens is covered, this can be detected by the system. Time before event signal: An event state must last for this set minimum period of time before a detector is triggered.

Enable audio detection: Exceeding a set noise threshold can trigger an event. For this to work, an audio input must be activated and connected to a signal source (line level).

7.11.6 Count statistics

On this page you can view the daily count statistics for the intrusion detection and tripwire detection detectors. Select the date, detector time and detector number. The exact count appears when you move the cursor over the bars displayed. The count can also be sent at intervals to an FTP server or email recipient. The file is downloaded in the *.csv format.116

Enable alarm output: Before it can be used the alarm output must first be activated. Trigger condition: In an alarm state the alarm output is either closed or open, depending on how it is used. The duration of the alarm condition can be pre-set.

User types: There are three user types: installer, master and user. The “installer” is hard-wired into the system – you can only change the password and language settings for this user. Add user: Assign a unique user name. The password must meet the following minimum requirements: Permitted characters: capital letters, lower-case letters, numbers, special characters (!@#$%^&*) Expiry date: if required, you can set a time limit on this user’s access. Language: The language used on the login page will be the same as that set on the PC. Once users are registered their language settings can be changed individually.117

Note: To test the settings a contact with an email address must first be created under “System”/“Contacts”.

You can set up an email account for sending emails (SMTP).118 Name: Assign a name for the account. This information will appear later when selected in the Event Manager. Server address: Enter the SMTP outgoing mail server associated with the email account. Authentication: To ensure proper authentication an encryption type (usually TLS), user name (usually the email address associated with the account sending the messages) and a password for the email account are required. User name: user name for the e-mail account Password: password for the account Sender: Enter the email address for the sending account. Port: The SMTP port is normally 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL). Subject: The subject appears in the subject lines of emails to the recipient. This subject will appear in all event emails. For instance, you might choose to give the camera location or designation here to help identify it. Test: To test the settings a contact with an email address must first be created under “System”/“Contacts”.

Create event rule: Up to five event rules can be created using the green “+” button. Name: event rule name Schedule: Schedule 1 is already pre-programmed as the default. This is set up to apply the event rules 24 hours a day. New schedules for individual activities can be created under “Configuration”/“Schedules”. Trigger: All detectors associated with the camera (e.g. motion detection) are displayed in the menu, provided the detector is activated/set up. If a detector has several zones attached to it, the zone must also be selected. One zone can trigger one rule. The manual trigger can be switched on and off using a button on the live video page. The periodic trigger can activate a given event rule at a pre-set interval (1 ~ 1440 mins).119 Action: Actions may include: NAS: Network drive (e.g. Synology NAS). A previously configured NAS must be selected. FTP server: A local FTP server or an FTP server on the internet. A previously configured FTP server must be selected. MicroSD card: A microSD card slot can be found in or on the camera itself. Alarm output: The camera's switch output E-mail: An email recipient. A previously configured contact must be selected. Medium: Select individual pictures, video clips or count statistics (FTP/email only). Pre-alarm/post-alarm: Individual pictures: Pictures are generated at 1-second intervals. Max. three seconds prior to the alarm. Max. five seconds following the alarm. If the 0/0 setting is used, only one event picture is transmitted. Video clip: A video clip can be created with a running time of up to three seconds before the event and five seconds following the event. Rest period after event: this amount of time must pass before an event can trigger the same event rule again. Count statistics: The count statistics for tripwire and intrusion detection can only be sent to an FTP server or email address.120
