Alarm video
When setting up motion detection on the camera any of the pre-configured video streams can be used for the recording of alarm video. Refer to Fault Actions for more information on selecting a video stream for a motion detection alarm.
Integration with American Dynamics Network Video Recorders
The video stream image sources will have to be configured using the camera Web User Interface prior to adding the camera to the Network Video Recorder interface. Depending on the image sources selected the camera will add as two or up to five individual streams.
If changes are made to the image source (selecting Fisheye, Ceiling/Wall Panorama and Active Stream) while the camera is configured on the Network Video Recorder the change will not be updated on the recorder and it may be necessary to remove the camera and add it again to pick up the image source change.
Integration with other Illustra API Clients
The five video streams can be configured using the Web User Interface, as detailed here or using the Illustra API interface. Changes made to the streams using either method are applied and the video is displayed according to the configuration. Opening the Web User Interface live video allows the stream to be shared with the Illustra API and minimizes the impact on camera resources.

Privacy Zones
Note
A privacy zone can only be created when using a Fisheye image source. Refer to Procedure 5-1 Configure the Video Stream settings to change settings for the video stream.
Privacy Zones are “masked” sections of the camera’s viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the surveillance system who do not have access to the camera password from viewing these designated zones. Each zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in relation to the camera pan/tilt position.
In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Privacy Zones are useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish a privacy Zone around a safe's combination, but still view people approaching or opening the safe.
Up to 4 rectangular privacy zones can be used on the camera.
Note
Areas of the Privacy Zone may be exposed during rapid pan / tilt movements of the camera. To compensate for this limitation, you may want to program the Privacy Zone to be 20 to 25% larger than the area you want to mask.

Motion Detection
Motion detection will allow you to define a region of interest in the camera's field of view which can be used to trigger a Fault Action. Multiple areas of interest can be selected in the field of view but only one Fault Action may be triggered.
Motion Detection Best Practices
To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Motion Detection on the camera it is recommended that you adhere to the following:
- An object exhibiting motion needs to be at least 8x8 pixels in size to be detected.
- The color of the object (in grayscale) should be approximately 10-15% different than the background.
- The frame rate of the video should be high enough to capture the object in one or more captured frames.
- Exclude the Time Stamp region from motion detection, because the time stamp changes constantly and could register as motion.
- Try not to point cameras into sunlight, because high brightness will prevent detection of movement of bright objects such as a person with a white shirt.
- Avoid areas with persistent motion, such as trees, blinking lights, or spinning signs, by using an appropriate region of interest.
- The Frames per Second rate for recordings must be 7fps or higher.
Motion Detection Configuration Pane
The regions of interest within the camera's field of view are defined using the Motion Detection Configuration Pane. The regions of interest are set by drawing/highlighting an area on the pane. This is done by using the drawing tools on the Motion Detection Configuration Pane as seen in Figure 7.2 Motion Detection Configuration Pane
Figure 7-2 Motion Detection Configuration Pane

| Draw using free draw by clicking on the window and dragging to draw a shape. The area of detection is highlighted in yellow. | |
| Draw a polygon by clicking once in the window, and use the lines to form the region of interest. Click again to confirm the line. Double click when the shape is complete to finalise the detection area. The detection area is highlighted in yellow. | |
| Draw a rectangle by clicking once in the window and dragging the cursor over the camera view to highlight the area of interest. The detection area is highlighted in yellow when the mouse button is released. | |
| Select Draw when you want the draw style to draw a detection area. | |
| Select Erase when you want the draw style to erase sections of a detection area. | |
| Select when you want to select end entire camera view. | |
| Deselect All | This will remove the active selections. |
| Invert Selection | This will invert the current active selection. |
Creating a Motion Detection Alert
Create a motion detection alert on the camera.
Note
1 If the motion detection video stream is changed after the region of interest has been drawn it will be necessary to re-draw a new region.

Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS is supported for updating, in real time a changing IP address on the Internet to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network. RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System. In this situation the camera talks only to the DHCP server and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server. The camera sends its hostname to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS records accordingly. This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal DHCP and DNS service and the user wants only to access their camera within their own network.
By default, when making a DHCP request the camera will transmit its hostname as part of the DHCP request. This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the configurable parameter "camera name" on the web user interface. Any DHCP request will contain the cameras hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.

Base Protocol and Underlying Layers
- The camera is an IP camera compatible with TCP/IP protocol.
- The camera supports both IPv4 and IPv6, running either in single stack mode or dual stack mode (supporting both IP versions at the same time).
- TCP is used for two way communication and UDP will be used for broadcasting security.
- HTTP is used for the ONVIF protocol as transport mechanism for SOAP calls.
- FTP can be used to push alarm buffer video clips to a specified remote FTP server. The camera can use anonymous FTP or a specified username and password. There is no incoming FTP service.
IP multicast RFC 1112 level 1 support for sending but not receiving multicast IP datagrams to a group of interested receivers in single transmissions is supported for audio, video and metadata stream types. The streams can be controlled using the two methods described below:
1 A client can request a multicast stream using RTSP. When the client requests a stream the server will respond with a multicast address in the 'c=' field of the describe response (RFC
4566). The client will then respond with a Setup request with the Transport Type set to multicast, the device shall stop sending packets for a multicast configuration when no more RTSP sessions are using the same multicast configuration.
2 An RTP multicast UDP stream can be started by an ONVIF 'StartMulticastStreaming' request with a specified media profile. Streaming continues until 'StopMulticastStreaming' is called for the same profile
Multicast RTSP sessions support the same authentication methods as unicast RTSP sessions.
Network Address Configuration
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is enabled by default on the camera on initial camera startup, and after a hardware factory reset, and remains enabled until the camera receives either a DHCP address or is assigned a Static IP address. If no connection is made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address192.168.1.168, but continues to search for a DHCP address. If the camera is assigned a Static IP address, prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until a connection is made to a DHCP server.
- Static IP can be used if the camera cannot be found on the network using DHCP. In this mode, a static IP address, subnet mask, default router and a primary and secondary DNS server can be configured. This will be used by the camera when turned on. It is possible to assign a static IPv4 address while still allowing the IPv6 addressing to be Link Local (automatically assigned).
- Dynamic DNS or DDNS Dynamic Domain Name System is supported for updating, in real time a changing IP address on the Internet to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network. RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System. In this situation the camera talks only to the DHCP server and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server. The camera sends its hostname to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS records accordingly. This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal DHCP and DNS service and the user wants only to access their camera within their own network.
By default, when making a DHCP request the camera will transmit its hostname as part of the DHCP request. This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the configurable parameter "camera name" on the Web User Interface. Any DHCP request will contain the cameras hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.
Network Name Resolution
The camera uses DNS protocol to resolve network names. DNS server address will be acquired through DHCP or manually set for static IP configuration. Camera configuration supports symbolic names for all remote end-points (except DNS servers) but in this mode will depend on a working and correctly configured remote DNS server.
The camera can send email alerts via SMTP to one specified mailbox using a specified SMTP server. Support is provided for basic authenticated SMTP using username and password for login on the SMTP server.
Time Synchronization and Configuration
The camera supports NTP for time synchronization. The NTP server will have to be configured by the user. Alternatively, time can be manually configured via the Web User Interface or ONVIF.
Remote Shell Access
For security reason, remote shell access is limited exclusively to American Dynamics Level 3 Technical Support. This function is not available to the end-user.
It is recommended to keep SSH Enable disabled. This function should only be enabled this when it is requested by American Dynamics Level 3 Technical Support.
Authentication and Security
- HTTPS (HTTP over TLS) is used for the Web User Interface. HTTP connections to the camera IP will automatically be redirected to the HTTPS login page.
- The camera will automatically create a SSL certificate file to use for HTTPS. It is possible to upload a custom SSL certificate if validation is desired.
- The ONVIF service uses WS-Security Username Token Digest.
Firewall
The camera will provide a firewall, which is disabled by default. The firewall will be able to block ICMP and allow RP filtering and SYN Cookie Verification. The firewall will offer the ability to block selected IP or MAC addresses and allow access exclusively to selected IP and MAC addresses.
Note: Using the "Deny all" mode, could result in a miss-configuration and require resetting the camera via the physical reset button.
Discovery
The product supports WS-Discovery for discovery purpose.
A copy of illustra Connect is supplied with the camera, this is a MS-Windows based discovery application, which will allow discovering any illustra camera on a network; OS Compatibility: MS-Windows XP, MS-Windows Vista, MS-Windows 7 & 8.
For each camera found on the network, the discovery tools will report:
- Serial number.
- Model Name.
• Product Code (HardwareID). - MAC address.
- Current IP address.
- Firmware version.
This tool will allow configuration of:
- DHCP.
- Static IP configuration.
- Select a number of cameras and push a firmware update via ONVIF.
ONVIF Video and Control Interface
The primary video and control interface to the camera is the Open Network Video Interface Forum global standard for the interface of network video products. This uses SOAP over HTTP. The camera provides ONVIF for integration to internal and external systems.
