20 Chapter 3-4-3 HTTP & RTSP Service HTTP protocol is a reliable protocol for sending video streaming. Port forwarding technology can be used for sending video over Internet. The detail is described in the appendix. For changing HTTP service’s port number, please consult available port number from your network administrator. Change the port number at the port field and click on “Submit” button. Chapter 3-4-4 SMTP Service Alarm or motion notification feature can send an alarm or motion detection snapshot to an E-mail account. To enable alarm or motion sending E-mail feature, please setup the following email accounts.
21 E-mail receiver setting E-mail address— E-mail address of the recipient E-mail sender setting E-mail address— E-mail address of the sender Auto E-mail sent with snapshot—constantly send JPEG snapshot within E-mail dwell time. SMTP server— Sender’s SMTP server Authorization— SMTP server’s authorization option if applicable Authorization account— Account of the SMTP server Authorization password— Password of the account To send a testing snapshot to a SMTP server, please click “Send” button to test and to verify the connection of the SMTP server. Chapter 3-4-5 FTP Service Alarm or motion notification feature can send alarm or motion detection snapshot to an FTP account. To enable alarm or motion sending FTP feature, please setup the following FTP account information.
22 FTP server IP/DNS— IP address or domain name of the FTP server Account— Account of the FTP server Password— Password of the account Directory—File path for storing the JPEG snapshots Prefix—Prefix of the JPEG filename Date format—Date format string for the JPEG filename Postfix—Postfix of the JPEG filename Auto FTP sent—Constantly send JPEG snapshot within FTP dwell time. FTP sent time—Schedule FTP snapshot at specific time Chapter 3-4-6 DDNS Settings DNS stands for domain name server, it provides domain name translation service for a device’s IP. Basically, domain name is easier to remember than numeric values (IP). DNS service requires service registration and subscription. DynDNS (DDNS) provides domain name service without subscription. To use www.ddnsipcam.com, you can use the last 6 digits of the MAC address as the host name with default account, the last 6 digits of the MAC address, and the default password, pass, if the AiP camera is on Internet with global IP address. The AiP camera tries to automatically register to www.ddnsipcam.com without further registering. For example, type “24094f.ddnsipcam.com” in a browser with login name “24094f” and password “pass” for login into the AiP camera, if the AiP camera is on Internet. Note: DDNS feature requires Internet connection.
23 Chapter 3-5 Video Settings This section describes the details in setting the H.264 FULL HD video’s attributes. Bit rate control, video input, and video resolution, settings can be configured. Chapter 3-5-1 Video General For transmitting H.264 FULL HD video over low bandwidth network such as Internet, please set the bit rate close to network upload bandwidth. H.264 FULL HD can encode frames based on the bit rate setting. Profiles: Selections of streaming combination Profile Name: Description of the profile Compression: compression type of the profile Resolution: the resolution of the compression VBR/CBR: VBR: Video quality encoding mode/constant bit rate encoding mode.
24 Bit Rate: Maximum bit rate available for a network connection Output Frame Rate: the frame rate of the profile GOP: I frame period per second Video Output: NTSC/PAL video system Power line frequency: 60Hz/50Hz lighting power frequency Chapter 3-5-2 Weighted Streaming Mode Weighted streaming mode is activated when an alarm went off. The streaming goes to the maximum speed, for example 30 FPS. If there is no alarm activity, the streaming stays one frame per second for saving bandwidth and storage. Chapter 3-5-3 Video Quality To setup video quality, please adjust brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and sharpness accordingly. The AiP camera can be set for day and/or night video quality for best video quality. Day or Night Video Quality Mode Day or night video quality can be fine tuned separately; the quality setting is scheduled based on the IR Cut scheduling table. Alarm Interval
25 To setup Exposure Control, Automatic Ga in Control, White Balance Control, please adjust the value accordingly. To increase, the sensitivity at nights, please adjust Sense Up feature. Exposure Value: Adjust the value of the image exposure WDR: Enable or disable wide dynamic range feature. Black-light Compensation: Increase the exposure to the darker object. Shutter limited: Min and max shutter range White Balance Control : Automatically adjust itself depending on the ambient light including tungsten, indoor, fluorescents, or outdoor. Mirror : Video mirroring Flip: Video flipping MoonLight function Auto Gain Control, AGC ( MoonLight function): Increase the gain of the video signal. If AGC can not still gain enough light, please set the Sense-Up feature. However, Sense -Up feature might cause mot ion blur at night. 3D Noise Reduction: Reduce noise at night. Sense-Up: Slow shutter feature for increasing CMOS sensitivity at night.
26 No Sense-Up 3 Frame Sense-Up Chapter 3-5-4 MoonLight function MoonLight function feature is for low-light and high sensitivity DSP control enabling outstanding video quality at difficult environment. MoonLight function technology can be used for both black-n-white and/or color video mode. To do so, please first enable Auto Gain Control (AGC) setting. However, the combinational use of 3D noise reduction (3D DNR) can even reduce noise at low light environment. AGC and 3D DNR do not cause motion blur. If the sensitivity is still not good for the environment, Sense-Up feature can then be used. However, the drawback can cause motion blur at low light condition. Chapter 3-5-5 Privacy Mask Each AiP camera has four privacy masks. A user can define the privacy mask for security reason. To use it, simply select the mask number and drag the mask on video area.
27 Chapter 3-5-6 Region of Interest (ROI) Region of interest (ROI) feature is for sub-stream (D1 or CIF) video buffer to scale and to crop on main video buffer (1080P) to meet best-fit video area. The major purpose is to use sub-stream for saving storage or bandwidth. To enable ROI feature, please first select “Enable ROI”. Click on Zoom Out or In button to get best-fit video area. Crop & Scale to D1 Not Important Area
28 Chapter 3-6 IR Cut Removable IR Cut removable allows to schedule IR activation by (1) auto, (2) day, (3) night, or (4) schedule. When the setting is set to Auto, IR activation is determined by the light sensor. Night setting means that the IR cut filter is removed. Day setting means that the IR cut filter is forced to be always on. When activation schedule is enabled, IR cut filter can be scheduled based on a specific time frame. For example, a user can set the IR cut activation time starting from 19:00 pm (day to night time) until 6:00 am (night to day time).
