Network Connection

Default IP Address

Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first bootup. The default IP address of the unit is 192.168.1.168 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0.

However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit obtains an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you do not need to change the IP address of the camera.

Note: If you assign the camera 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 it connects to a DHCP server.

  • Connect to a PC directly: Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet cable. This requires POE switch or injector.
  • Connecting a camera to a Local Area Network (LAN): To add the camera to an existing LAN, connect the camera to the POE hub or switch on your network.

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that supports the viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).

WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favor a underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the lower end of the control, the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas of bright but less details in areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control, the image is overexposed which provides more detail in the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.

A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.

The default setting is OFF.

4 Select the WDR level from the drop-down list:

  • Off
  • Low
  • Medium
    • High

- End -

Day Night Mode

IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.

When needed, the True TDN mechanism removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the images allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.

This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light performance rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.

IR Illuminator

When the camera is in B/W mode it can utilize or see near-IR illumination; something the human eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the dome is paired with 850\~950nm IR illuminators. With this combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the dome can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where externally lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.

Procedure 47 Enable / Disable IR Illuminator

This feature is not supported on the Indoor Dome or Box camera. Refer to product codes for feature support.

Picture Additional

Configure Wide Dynamic Range, Day Night Mode, Flicker Control and Picture Adjustments including Brightness, Contrast, White Balance, Saturation and Sharpness displayed in the video pane.

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).

WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favor an underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the lower end of the control, the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas of bright but less details in areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control, the image is overexposed which provides more detail in the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.

A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.

Procedure 68 Disable/Enable Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Step Action

1 Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.

  • True WDR: Two shutter wide dynamic range, to compensate for bright and dark areas in the scene.
  • True WDR3x: Three shutter wide dynamic range, to compensate for bright and dark areas in the scene.

The default setting is OFF.

4 Use the required WDR Level from the drop-down list:

  • Off
  • Low
  • Medium
    • High

- End -

Day Night Mode

IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.

When needed, the True TDN mechanism removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the images allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.

This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light performance rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.

IR Illuminator

When the camera is in B/W mode it can utilize or "see" near-IR illumination; something the human eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the dome is paired with 850\~950nm IR illuminators. With this combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the dome can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where externally lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.

Procedure 69 Enable / Disable IR Illuminator

The Indoor Dome or Box camera does not support this feature. Refer to product codes for feature support.

Alarm I / O

Note: This section does not apply to the Compact Min Dome.

The cameras provide one alarm input. By connecting alarm devices, such as smoke alarms, twilight sensors, or motion sensors to these inputs you can enhance the usability of your video surveillance system.

For 15 seconds after being triggered, any additional individual input changes on that alarm source are logged and do not generate any other action. This is to reduce the effect that any oscillating alarm source, such as if a door is simply vibrating in the wind, causing a series of alarms to be generated.

Input alarms are triggered upon change of state. Either from opened to closed or from closed to open. The camera reports the current state of each input alarms (open or closed) as well as an active or inactive status in the alarm configuration page. Active alarms are also be visible in the current faults page.

The triggering of any input alarm affects scheduled tasks and delay them until at least 30 seconds has passed since the last digital alarm input was triggered.

Alarm Actions

Upon triggering each alarm input can be configured to trigger a faulty action:

  • Activate the digital output contact. This stays active until the alarm is acknowledged and cleared by an operator.
  • Send an external alarm WS-Event that includes alarm details
  • Send an external alarm through email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the AVI video file and one JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to local storage. If MJPEG is not being recorded on local storage, then no JPEG picture is sent.
  • Send an audio file through the unit. If a speaker has been connected to the audio output on the unit the file can be played as the alarm is triggered.
  • Send an AVI video file to a pre-configured external FTP server. The video file contains pre and post alarm video buffer and audio if enabled and supported, as outlined above.

Note:

  1. An active internal alarm only resets when the input state changes to "normal." A manual reset is not available.
  2. A microSD Card must be inserted to send an SMTP email, video files, audio and images from triggered alarms.

Motion Detection

Motion detection enables you to define a region of interest in the camera's field of view which can be used to trigger an Event Action. Multiple areas of interest can be selected in the field of view but only one Event 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 gray scale) should be approximately 10 - 15% different than the background.
  • 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 prevents 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.

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.

Creating a Motion Detection Alert

Create a motion detection alert on the camera.

The Motion Detection Alert feature supports up to three profiles in a Field of View (FOV). You can configure each profile with an individual sensitivity level and an event action.

Note:

1 If the motion detection video stream is changed after the region of interest has been drawn it is necessary to re-draw a new region.
2 If the stream settings are modified the motion detection is disabled and it is necessary to enable motion detection again if required.
3 Motion detection can only be enabled on a video stream that uses H.264 with a resolution on 1920x1440 or lower.

Procedure 99 Create a Motion Detection Alert

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 transmits 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 contains the cameras hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.

Dynamic DNS

Configure the Dynamic DNS settings for the camera.

End User License Agreement (EULA)

IMPORTANT - READ THIS END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("EULA") CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING THE DISK PACKAGE, DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE OR INSTALLING, COPYING OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE.

THIS EULA IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SENSORATIC ELECTRONICS, LLC ("TYCO"), AND GOVERNS YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND/OR FIRMWARE ACCOMPANYING THIS EULA WHICH SOFTWARE MAY BE INCLUDED IN AN ASSOCIATED PRODUCT AND INCLUDES COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND MAY INCLUDE MEDIA, PRINTED MATERIALS, AND "ON-LINE" OR ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTATION (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SOFTWARE"). BY BREAKING THE SEAL ON THIS PACKAGE, DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE OR INSTALLING, COPYING OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS EULA, DO NOT OPEN, DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY OR OTHERWISE USE THE SOFTWARE.

  1. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The Software may include computer code, program files and any associated media, hardware or software keys, printed material and electronic documentation. The Software may be provided to you pre-installed in a product or on a storage device (the media) as part of a computer system or other hardware or device ("System"). The Software is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. All title and intellectual property rights in and to the Software (including but not limited to any images, photographs, and text incorporated into the Software), the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the Software, are owned by Tyco and/or its suppliers. The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted under this EULA are reserved by Tyco and its suppliers.

  2. GRANT OF LICENSE. This EULA grants you the following rights on a non-exclusive basis:

a. General. This EULA permits you to use the Software for which you have purchased this EULA. If the Software is protected by a software or hardware key or other device, the Software may be used on any computer on which the key is installed. If the key locks the Software to a particular System, the Software may only be used on that System.

b. Locally Stored Components. The Software may include a software code component that may be stored and operated locally on one or more devices. Once you have paid the required license fees for these devices (as determined by Tyco in its sole discretion), you may install and/or use one copy of such component of the Software on each of the devices as licensed by Tyco. You may then use, access, display, run or otherwise interact with ("use") such component of the Software in connection with operating the device on which it is installed solely in the manner set forth in any accompanying documentation or, in the absence of such, solely in the manner contemplated by the nature of the Software.

c. Remotely Stored Components. The Software may also include a software code component for operating one or more devices remotely. You may install and/or use one copy of such component of the Software on a remote storage device on an internal network with all of the devices and may operate such component with each device over the internal network solely in the manner set forth in any accompanying documentation or, in the absence of such, solely in the manner contemplated by the nature of the Software; provided however, you must still acquire the required number of licenses for each of the devices with which such component is to be operated.

d. Embedded Software/Firmware. The Software may also include a software code component that is resident in a device as provided by Tyco for operating that device. You may use such component of the Software solely in connection with the use of that device, but may not retrieve, copy or otherwise

transfer that software component to any other media or device without Tyco's express prior written authorization.

e. Backup Copy. You may make a back-up copy of the Software (other than embedded software) solely for archival purposes, which copy may only be used to replace a component of the Software for which you have current valid license. Except as expressly provided in this EULA, you may not otherwise make copies of the Software, including the printed materials.

  1. OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS. Your use of the Software is subject to the following additional limitations. Failure to comply with any of these restrictions will result in automatic termination of this EULA and will make available to Tyco other legal remedies.

a. Limitations on Reverse Engineering and Derivative Works. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, and any attempt to do so shall immediately terminate this EULA - except and only to the extent that such activity may be expressly permitted, notwithstanding this limitation, either by applicable law or, in the case of open source software, the applicable open source license. You may not make any changes or modifications to any portion of the Software, or create any derivative works, without the written permission of an officer of Tyco (except as provided in Section 3(f) of this EULA with respect to "open source" software). You may not remove any proprietary notices, marks or labels from the Software. You shall institute reasonable measures to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this EULA by your personnel and agents.

b. Copyright Notices. You must maintain all copyright notices on all copies of the Software.

c. Transfer. You may only transfer your rights under this EULA (i) as part of a permanent sale or transfer of all of the devices for which the Software is licensed as applicable; (ii) if you transfer all of the Software (including all component parts, the media and printed materials, any upgrades and this EULA); (iii) if you do not retain any copies of any portion of the Software; (iv) if the recipient agrees to the terms of this EULA; and (v) if the Software is an upgrade, such transfer must also include all prior versions of the Software. You agree that failure to meet all of these conditions renders such transfer null and void.

d. Termination. Without prejudice to any other rights, Tyco may terminate this EULA if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions herein. In such event, you must immediately destroy all copies of the Software and all of its component parts. To the extent the Software is embedded in hardware of firmware, you will provide prompt access to Tyco or its representative to remove or lock Software features or functionality as Tyco determines.

e. Subsequent EULA. Tyco may also supersede this EULA with a subsequent EULA pursuant to providing you with any future component, release, upgrade or other modification or addition to the Software. Similarly, to the extent that the terms of this EULA conflict with any prior EULA or other agreement between you and Tyco regarding the Software, the terms of this EULA shall prevail.

f. Incorporation of "Open Source" and other Third Party Software. Portions of the Software may be subject to certain third party license agreements governing the use, copying, modification, redistribution and warranty of those portions of the Software, including what is commonly known as "open source" software. Such portions of the Software are governed solely by the terms of such other license, and no warranty is provided under this License for open source software. By using the Software you are also agreeing to be bound to the terms of such third party licenses. If provided for in the applicable third party license, you may have a right to reverse engineer such software or receive source code for such software for use and distribution in any program that you create, so long as you in turn agree to be bound to the terms of the applicable third party license, and your programs are distributed under the terms of that license. If applicable, a copy of such source code may be obtained free of charge by contacting your Tyco representative.

g. Trademarks. This EULA does not grant you any rights in connection with any trademarks or service marks of Tyco, its affiliates or its suppliers.

h. Rental. You may not sublicense, rent, lease or lend the Software. You may not make it available to others or post it on a server or web site or otherwise distribute it.

i. Software Keys. The hardware/software key, where applicable, is your proof of license to exercise the rights granted herein and must be retained by you. Lost or stolen keys will not be replaced.

j. Demonstration and Evaluation Copies. A demonstration or evaluation copy of the Software is covered by this EULA; provided that the licenses contained herein shall expire at the end of the demonstration or evaluation period.

k. Registration of Software. The Software may require registration with Tyco prior to use. If you do not register the Software, this EULA is automatically terminated and you may not use the Software.

I. Additional Restrictions. The Software may be subject to additional restrictions and conditions on use as specified in the documentation accompanying such Software, which additional restrictions and conditions are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this EULA.

m. Upgrades and Updates. To the extent Tyco makes them available, Software upgrades and updates may only be used to replace all or part of the original Software that you are licensed to use. Software upgrades and updates do not increase the number of copies licensed to you. If the Software is an upgrade of a component of a package of Software programs that you licensed as a single product, the Software may be used and transferred only as part of that single product package and may not be separated for use on more than one computer or System. Software upgrades and updates downloaded free of charge via a Tyco authorized World Wide Web or FTP site may be used to upgrade multiple Systems provided that you are licensed to use the original Software on those Systems.

n. Tools and Utilities. Software distributed via a Tyco-authorized World Wide Web or FTP site (or similar Tyco-authorized distribution means) as a tool or utility may be copied and installed without limitation provided that the Software is not distributed or sold and the Software is only used for the intended purpose of the tool or utility and in conjunction with Tyco products. All other terms and conditions of this EULA continue to apply.

  1. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. You agree that you will not export, re-export or transfer any portion of the Software, or any direct product thereof (the foregoing collectively referred to as the "Restricted Components"), to IRAN, NORTH KOREA, SYRIA, CUBA and SUDAN, including any entities or persons in those countries, either directly or indirectly ("Tyco's Position"). You also agree that you will not export, re-export or transfer the Restricted Components to any other countries except in full compliance with all applicable governmental requirements, including but not limited to applicable economic sanctions and constraints administered by the U.S. Treasury Department and applicable export control measures administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Department of State, any other U.S. government agencies, and measures administered by the European Union or the government agencies of any other countries. Any violation by you of the applicable laws or regulations of the U.S. or any other government, or where you breach Tyco's Position notwithstanding whether or not this is contrary to any aforementioned applicable laws or regulations, will result in automatic termination of this EULA.

  2. U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS. The Software is Commercial Computer Software provided with "restricted rights" under Federal Acquisition Regulations and agency supplements to them. Any use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFAR 255.227-7013 et. seq. or 252.211-7015, or subparagraphs (a) through (d) of the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights at FAR 52.227-19, as applicable, or similar clauses in the NASA FAR Supplement.

Tyco further warrants that for the same period, the Software provided on the recording medium under this license will substantially perform as described in the user documentation provided with the product when used with specified hardware. THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTY REPLACES AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR NON-MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY OF INFORMATIONAL CONTENT, OR SYSTEM INTEGRATION. TYCO MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ANY PORTION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE, FREE OF ANY SECURITY DEFECTS OR IN AN UNINTERRUPTED MANNER. TYCO SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY CHANGES IN THE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE(S) UPON WHICH THE SOFTWARE IS OPERATING, OR FOR PROBLEMS IN THE INTERACTION OF THE SOFTWARE WITH NON-TYCO SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE PRODUCTS. TYCO NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON PURPORTING TO ACT ON ITS BEHALF TO MODIFY OR TO CHANGE THIS WARRANTY, NOR TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR LIABILITY CONCERNING THIS SOFTWARE. THE WARRANTY MADE BY TYCO MAY BE VOIDED BY ABUSE OR MISUSE. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS UNDER MANDATORY LAW THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.

b. Exclusive Remedy. Tyco's entire liability and your exclusive remedy under the warranty set forth in this Section 6 will be, at Tyco's option, to (i) attempt to correct Software errors with efforts Tyco believes suitable to the problem, (ii) replace at no cost the recording medium, Software or documentation with functional equivalents as applicable, or (iii) refund a pro-rated portion of the license fee paid for such Software (less depreciation based on a five-year life expectancy) and terminate this EULA, provided, in each case, that Tyco is notified in writing of all warranty problems during the applicable warranty period. Any replacement item will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. No remedy is provided for failure of the Software if such failure is the result of accident, abuse, alteration or misapplication with respect to the Software or any hardware on which it is loaded. Warranty service or assistance is provided at the original point of purchase.

  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES.

a. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL TYCO'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION AND OTHER CONTRACT OR TORT CLAIMS) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS EULA, OR THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE, EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD\$5.00 OR THE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAID TO TYCO OR ITS RESELLER FOR THE SOFTWARE THAT GIVES RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. BECAUSE AND TO THE EXTENT THAT SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ABOVE, THESE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

b. EXCLUSION OF OTHER DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL TYCO OR ANY OF ITS RESELLERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (I) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS; (II) LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY SYSTEMS, RECORDS OR DATA, OR LIABILITIES RELATED TO A VIOLATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S PRIVACY RIGHTS; OR (III) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR COVER DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND LOST SAVINGS), IN EACH CASE EVEN IF TYCO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR VERIFYING THE SECURITY, ACCURACY AND

ADEQUACY OF ANY OUTPUT FROM THE SOFTWARE, AND FOR ANY RELIANCE THEREON. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR THE LIMITATION ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY APPLY TO YOU ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THOSE LAWS.

  1. GENERAL. If any provision of this EULA is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be severed from this EULA and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. You should retain proof of the license fee paid, including model number, serial number and date of payment, and present such proof of payment when seeking service or assistance covered by the warranty set forth in this EULA. This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regards to its conflicts of law principles. The parties hereby irrevocably agree that they submit themselves to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of New York for purposes of resolving any and all disputes arising under or related to these terms and conditions.
