1 Overview

The Oncam Evolution 05 Mini IP Series cameras are innovative and use a fisheye lens to create a 360° view with an extremely large area of coverage. The Oncam 360° IP camera may replace two or more conventional fixed cameras for seamless coverage of an entire scene with no gaps or blind spots. The ability to see in all directions at once makes Oncam 360° IP cameras ideally suited for total situational awareness.

The 5-megapixel sensor produces enough detail to allow digital pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) operations over the entire field of view (FoV). Unlike conventional PTZ cameras, Oncam 360° IP cameras are silent. Oncam 360° IP cameras have no mechanical motors or gears prone to wear and failure. The camera produces three types of views, each suited to a particular set of requirements.

The Evolution 05 Mini design allows for easy and fast installation with a range of mounting accessories for ceilings, walls, pendants and poles.

1.1 Fisheye View

The high quality fisheye lens produces a spherical image from which derive all other views. The raw image appears warped around a central axis. Special dewarping software built into the NVR / VMS converts the spherical image into a flat view that is more familiar to human viewers. When using video management software (VMS) to record a fisheye video stream, the entire image is preserved. You can retrospectively look at all directions regardless of the live or recorded viewed area after an incident.

1.2 Panoramic View

When using compatible VMS or NVR software integrated with the Oncam dewarping SDK, it is possible to generate a double 180-degree panoramic view from fisheye overview. The fisheye image is dewarped and split into two 180-degree bands for simpler viewing of the overall image.

Note: Due to the dewarping image cropping, the area directly underneath the camera is not visible. The camera does not generate the 180-degree panoramic view. The camera requires a compatible client machine with software to produce this panoramic view.

1.3 Camera Range

Configure the camera module for either an H.264 or MJPEG single stream.

• 10 FPS (maximum) with a frame size of 2144 x 1944 pixels (4 MP)
• 15 FPS (maximum) with a frame size of 1488 x 1360 pixels (2 MP)
- 30 FPS (maximum) with a frame size of 1056 × 960 pixels (1 MP)
- 30 FPS (maximum) with a frame size of 528 × 480 pixels (1/4 MP)

Enable and configure a second H.264 fisheye stream. If enabling the second stream, the maximum frame rates are reduced for both the main and second stream.

Simultaneously access a third MJPEG stream at a fixed FPS and a frame size of 528 x 480 pixels (1/4 MP).

1.4 Power Requirements

Supply power using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) through the RJ45 or M12 cable.

2 Camera Placement and Orientation

Camera placement is an important factor when planning your deployment. The Evolution 05 Mini camera has an exceptionally wide viewing angle. Consider the camera location for providing comprehensive coverage of a wide area. Mount the camera with an unobstructed view and consider scene optimization when one portion of the scene is bright and another dark.

The camera supports three different mounting orientations, Ceiling, Wall and Table. Each of these options require correct orientation settings selected from the Camera Web Interface. These camera settings ensure using the correct dewarping algorithm when connecting to a compatible VMS or NVR system.

2.1 Ceiling Mount

Ceiling mounting is preferred when most of the action is occurring below the camera in a horizontal plane. When a person is directly below the camera, captured is the top-of head view. When the person moves away from the camera, more of their face and body becomes visible.

Depending on the use case, use a single camera to cover a small to medium sized room. Mounting a camera high gives great situational awareness throughout a large room. When planning coverage ensure there are no obstructions. Some obstructions include pillars, high-sided furniture and any hanging objects near the camera such as signage.

2.2 Wall Mount

Wall mounting the camera can give a complete 180-degree side on view of an area. Use this view where ceiling mounting is not possible or if you need to capture a higher level of detail for objects closer to the camera (such as people's faces as they walk past the camera).

2.3 Table Mount

Install the Table Mount camera on a flat surface looking up. This configuration is for demonstration or testing purposes. You could use the Table Mount for inspecting systems or viewing under vehicles.

2.4 Coverage Area

The Evolution 05 Mini cameras provide coverage for open areas where situational awareness of people and objects are required.

The higher camera placement provides a larger coverage area. However, with higher camera placement a reduction in the pixel density is expected. Height impacts the image detail available, therefore ensure you consider image quality versus the mounting height.

Perform tests to ensure that the camera meets the system operational requirements and the required detail level is available.

Use a minimum height of 2 m (6.5 ft.) when ceiling mounting a camera for best results.

For multiple camera layouts, ensure the camera areas overlap for full coverage.

2.5 Overhead Viewing Angle

Ceiling-mounted cameras capture a top-of-head shot when the person is directly under the camera. Hats extend that top-of-head zone to some degree. Consider the viewing angle when requiring people identification or recognition.

2.6 Lighting

Avoid bright light sources pointing towards the camera lens. Always face lighting away from the camera or above the camera installation line (if ceiling mounted).

Adjust the auto-sensor in the camera from the Web Interface. Using auto-sensor adjusts the camera continuously to optimize the image by increasing exposure time. Furthermore, the maximum frame rate is reduced as exposure time increases. The image remains in full color until below one Lux, after which it transitions to black and white for better contrast.

The Indoor Night camera automatically switches to night mode, doubling the exposure time in progressive steps to maximize light sensitivity. The frame rate is halved accordingly. The image is rendered in black and white for better contrast. Optionally, use motion-sensing lights to illuminate the scene: The Indoor Night camera quickly adjusts when lights turn on.

3 Camera Installation

For installation of your Oncam Evolution 05 camera, provided are the following instructions. Reference the Camera Web Interface, page 24 for a more detailed features and functionality.

3.1 Preparation

To access the Web interface, open a browser window (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge and Safari) and enter the IP address of the camera. (For example, http://192.168.0.200).

The first response will be an authentication screen requesting a User Name and Password:

Default User name: admin

Default Password: admin (case sensitive)

Note: The admin user is permanent and cannot be renamed or deleted.

For security purposes, you should change the admin password. If desired, add other users and set the admin password to a complicated random string. Then use another user name for routine maintenance.

6.6 Media Player Requirements

QuickTime or VLC media player are required for viewing video through a web browser. The web browsers supported are Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge or Safari.

6.6.1 QuickTime

For firmware versions earlier than 1.9.9.243, use QuickTime version 7.7.4.

Download the QuickTime media player from https://software.com/windows/video/apple-quicktime/7.7.4.

6.6.2 VLC

For firmware versions later than 1.9.11.310, use the latest VLC media player.

Download the latest VLC media player from www.videolan.org > VLC > Download.

7 Camera Web Interface

Access camera configuration through the camera Web interface.

• Open a browser window and enter the camera IP address.
• Enter the User name and Password for this camera. The Control Panel screen displays.

Note: Images in the following sections may vary.

7.1 Control Panel

The camera produces a fisheye view that is a full 360-degree image in a circular format. The camera streams two fisheye images at the same time.

By default, only Fisheye1 displays in the Control Panel with one of the following options.

4 MP	2144 x 1944
2 MP	1448 x 1360
1 MP	1056 x 960
0.25 MP	528 x 480

Set the resolution from Admin > Stream Settings. See Stream, page 35.

Shown in the right pane is the Control Panel that includes the camera date and time, and current image streaming.

Set the current date and time from the Admin tab.

7.2 Image

The Image tab includes lighting and orientation controls for the image sensor.

Mains Frequency

Select the mains frequency depending based on the camera location.

Image Controls

Adjust the view using the image controls (Brightness / Contrast / Saturation).

Select the Defaults button to return the sliders to their default settings.

The camera has automatic imaging controls to guarantee the best image quality at all times.

Rarely use manual tuning.

graph LR
    A["BRIGHTNESS"] --> B["0"]
    C["CONTRAST"] --> D["2"]
    E["SATURATION"] --> F["1"]
    G["Defaults"] --> H["End"]

7.2.1 Sharpen

Increase or decrease the clarity and focus of an image. Using the Sharpen setting also emphasizes noise and increases data size.

7.2.2 EV Compensation

Increase or decrease the image exposure. Adjust the EV Compensation for unusual lighting conditions.

7.2.3 Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range. This increases the dynamic range in difficult lighting conditions. WDR particularly lightens dark areas without over brightening light areas.

WDR Level. After enabling WDR adjust the amount of WDR processing that is applied to the image. Higher settings further bring-out detail in shaded areas, in exchange for slightly lowering the overall contrast.

7.2.4 Switch to Monochrome

Control how the camera image switches from Color to Monochrome in response to different illumination levels.

Selecting Automatic (default) and the camera transitions progressively between color and monochrome as the illumination level varies.

Selecting Always Monochrome and the camera image remains in monochrome at all times.

Selecting specific Lux thresholds separates settings made for the Color-to-Monochrome to help the color remain stable in varying low-light conditions. In this configuration, the color follows a hysteresis curve as illustrated in Figure 10 Color Hysteresis Curve, page 26.

Figure 10 Color Hysteresis Curve

In Figure 10 Color Hysteresis Curve, page 26, the camera switches to Monochrome when the illumination falls to 1 Lux. The camera switches back to Color mode when the Lux rises to 20 Lux.

Set the two settings differently so the camera does not oscillate between color and monochrome when the illumination level is close to the threshold.

• Non-Permanent IR Light. Set the Monochrome-to-Color threshold high enough that the camera does not switch back to color mode when the IR lighting is present.
• Lux Readings. A lux meter reading may differ from a 360° sensor due to differing fields of view.
• IR-Sensitive Camera. Lux meter readings may differ because the camera accepts IR light.

7.2.5 Switch Delay Time

Select a delay time to prevent unwanted switching with large temporary light changes (for example, car headlights). Ignored are variations in illumination shorter than the defined Switch Delay Time.

The camera will not switch to Color mode if the illumination changes from 3 Lux to 100 Lux for 3 seconds and then falls back to 5 Lux.

7.2.6 Image Time and Date Overlay

Overlay the current date and time onto the image outside of the fisheye circle so not obscuring the video. The scaled image and overlay appears small when viewed using a web browser. Settings are available to set the format of the date and time text.

7.2.7 Camera Mount

Camera mount position. Mount cameras vertically or horizontally (for instance, wall or ceiling). When using the Oncam SDK for camera viewing and recording this setting ensures the scene is properly de-warped and the NVR PTZ operations correctly work. Set PTZ to match the installation position of your camera.

Notes:

- Privacy Regions are automatically enabled when created. Disable them by checking the Disable Privacy Regions Overlay checkbox.

- Delete a region by selecting the region in the list and click Delete. This also deletes any saved name and returns the specific region number to default settings.

7.4.2 Motion Detection

A motion detection region is a user-defined zone for detecting motion and triggering an action such as recording for later analysis. Motion detection features one full region (default) or eight definable regions.

The full region motion option is enabled by default.

Note: When a region is defined, the full region motion is disabled.

1. Select Motion Detection
2. Select a Region number (1 to 8).
3. Enter a Region Name.
4. Click Draw (the image shrinks slightly while you are drawing the zone).
5. Left-click to set the initial point. Click several times around the area until defining a suitable polygon. Click the starting point again to complete the region.
   Click Clear to restart drawing the polygon or cancel the current action.
6. Click Save to store the region in the dropdown Region list. The motion detection appears in the image as a blue polygon outline.

7. Repeat as necessary for up to 8 regions.

Improve Motion Detection efficiency by modifying the Sensitivity, Threshold, Persistence and Latency settings.

Sensitivity. Control the sensitivity of the camera to object movement. Where low-contrast objects are difficult to capture, increase the sensitivity to detect these objects. Setting the sensitivity lower requires more motion to activate an alarm.

Note: High sensitivity values in noisy environments may cause false alarms.

Threshold. The amount of moving pixels required to raise a motion alarm are determined by the threshold setting. Motion alarms are caused by the cumulative moving pixels regardless of their distribution. Setting the threshold higher increases the motion's time to activate an alarm.

Note: Low motion threshold in noisy environments may cause increased false alarms.

Motion Persistence. The period when motion is detected in a frame prior to raising an alarm is the persistence. Raising a motion alarm immediately after the motion might lead to false alarms in noisy environments. Use the motion persistence setting to ensure the system raises an alarm only when persistent motion exists.

Motion Latency. Motion latency defines how many frames in an alarm remains true after motion stops. A low latency allows a rapid succession of motion events to appear as multiple alarms. A higher setting will group rapid triggers into a single alarm event.

Notes:

• To delete a region, select the region in the Region dropdown list and click Delete. This also deletes any saved name and returns the specific region number to default settings.
• Use the Alarm Settings to configure detected motion as an alarm trigger that activates an alarm action. See Alarm, page 30.

1. Adjust the motion sensitivity by moving the Custom Sensitivity bar slider left or right to the desired value.

Fine-adjust the value by clicking the red arrows on the slider. Apply Custom Sensitivity to all motion detection regions.

An Alarm Bell symbol flashes at the bottom of the window giving you a visual indication of the Custom Sensitivity setting. The alarm bell symbol displays when you enable the Alarm Trigger Motion Detection and displays when the Motion Detection event has triggered.

NOTE: Setup and test motion detection by setting the threshold above any natural motion that is occurring in the scene to eliminate false alarms. Set the threshold to a minimum and gradually raise the threshold until natural motion no longer triggers the alarm.

8 Connecting Directly to the Camera Streams

Connect directly to camera streams to acquire JPEG and MJPEG (H.264) video streams.

8.1 JPEG Snapshot

Access JPEG images from your camera by using your camera's IP address and port creating the following URLs.

4MP JPEG http://camera_ip_address:port_number/mjpg/snapshot.cgi?camera=13

2MP JPEG http://camera_ip_address:port_number/mjpg/snapshot.cgi?camera=25

1MP JPEG http://camera_ip_address:port_number/mjpg/snapshot.cgi?camera=12

1/4MP JPEG http://camera_ip_address:port_number/mjpg/snapshot.cgi?camera=26

8.2 MJPEG / H.264 Video Stream

Using the Web Interface, find your camera's stream to determine the video setup. Using your camera's IP address and the appropriate URL, connect to your camera's video stream using your media player.

MJPEG

4MP JPEG	http://camera_ip_address:port_number/video.cgi?camera=13
2MP JPEG	http://camera_ip_address:port_number/video.cgi?camera=25
1MP JPEG	http://camera_ip_address:port_number/video.cgi?camera=12
14 MP JPEG	http://camera_ip_address:port_number/video.cgi?camera=26

H.264

4MP JPEG	rtsp://camera_ip_address:554/h264/video.sdp?camera=13
2MP JPEG	rtsp://camera_ip_address:554/h264/video.sdp?camera=25
1MP JPEG	rtsp://camera_ip_address:554/h264/video.sdp?camera=12
14 MP JPEG	rtsp://camera_ip_address:554/h264/video.sdp?camera=26

For example, the Evolution camera is the IP address 192.168.0.200, port 554 (H.264 RTSP stream is port 554).

1. From the Camera Web Interface, go to Admin > Video Setup
2. Check the Second Camera check box.
3. Select H.264 from the Stream dropdown menu,
4. Select 0.25M from the Resolution dropdown menu,
5. Click Set the Video Stream.

Using the following sample URLs provides the two video streams using your media player.

• 4MP H.264: rtsp://192.168.0.200:554/h264/video.sdp?camera=13
  • 1/4MP MJPEG: http://192.168.0.200:80/video.cgi?camera=26

For MJPEG streaming the username and password are required. By default, use "admin" for both the username and password.

9 Connecting through ONVIF Profile S or PSIA

Use an Evolution camera with an ONVIF Conformant Device hardware driver when adding the camera hardware to your NVR System. Set the camera to the desired mode before adding the camera to your NVR system.

Note: The ONVIF driver uses RTSP for transferring the video from the camera. The Evolution camera sends the MJPEG data using the MJPEG RTP standard RFC 2435. The RFC 2435 standard does not work using JPEG images with a width greater than 2040. This means RTSP does not transfer the larger MJPEG video streams from the camera. Stream any other MJPEG or any H.264 resolution using the ONVIF driver.

10 Troubleshooting and Technical Support

Use the following guide to ensure all components of the system are properly working.

Web Interface unavailable in browser	Use the IP Configuration Tool to confirm that you are looking at the correct address and there are no IP address conflicts. Check your own network settings to ensure the camera is on the same subnet, or is accessible by routing.
Web Interface fails to show a live image	Check your browser security settings.
Motion detection is not working properly	There must be at least one motion detection region defined and in use. On the Motion Detection panel, the VMD mode must be set to Motion Detection. Check the size and sensitivity controls to ensure that movement is detected.
Camera image stops or drops frames	This is commonly due to a network connectivity or bandwidth issues, especially for cameras connected to wireless networks or the public Internet. Try reducing the JPEG quality or resolution settings from the camera Web interface.
One portion of the image is over or under-exposed	Set the Brightness or use an EV setting which will add over or under exposure to the scene light.
There are bright or dark areas in the scene and no detail can be seen	Enable the WDR feature. This increases the contrast in darker and brighter areas of the scene. Adjust the WDR setting depending on the light differences to obtain the best image. See Wide Dynamic Range, page 26. Enhance the image by adjusting the EV settings so the bright areas are not over-exposed and the dark areas are sufficiently exposed. In most lighting conditions, the WDR setting should not be required.
