Each camera has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address, which can be used to identify the camera on the network. Record the IP Camera’s MAC address, which can be found using the OpenEye IP Finder application and on the label of the camera, for identification in the future.
Page 39
When using static IP address to log in to the IP Camera, you can access it either through OpenEye IP Finder software or type the IP address directly in the address bar of your Internet Explorer. General IP address – The IP Address is necessary for network identification.
QoS (Quality of Service) Quality of Service allows you to prioritize network traffic services of the camera’s functions. The QoS function utilizes the Differentiated Services prioritized using Codepoint values (DSCP). Routers and switches on the network must be QoS or DSCP capable, and have these settings enabled for this function to operate on your network.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Enable UPnP: When enabled the camera will appear in My Network Places on Windows computers running UPnP on the same network. Enable UPnP Port Forwarding: When enabled the camera will attempt to open the web server port on the router automatically.
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is a service that allows a connection to an IP address using a hostname (URL) address instead of a numeric IP address. Most Internet Service Providers use Dynamic IP Addressing that frequently changes the public IP address of your internet connection; this means when connecting to the camera over the internet you need to know if your IP address has changed.
The camera can send an e-mail via Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) when motion is detected or when the sensor input is activated. SMTP is a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. SMTP is a relatively simple, text-based protocol, where one or more recipients of a message are specified and the message text is transferred.
The camera can send alarm messages to a specific File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site when motion is detected or when the sensor input is activated. You can assign alarm messages to up to two FTP sites. Enter the FTP details, which include server, server port, user name, password and remote folder, in the appropriate boxes and click Save when finished.
The camera can send alarm messages to a specific Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) site when motion is detected or when the sensor input is activated. You can assign alarm messages to up to two HTTP sites. Enter the HTTP details, which include server, user name and password, in the appropriate boxes and click Save when finished.
The CM-816 supports 4 digital alarm inputs and 2 digital alarm outputs. Make sure the alarm connections are properly wired before starting to configure alarm related settings on the Application screen. Refer to the pin definition table below for alarm system wiring.
Alarm Setting Alarm Switch – Enable or disable the alarm function. Alarm Type – Select an alarm type (Normal Close or Normal Open) that corresponds with the alarm application. Trigger Action (Multi-Option) Specify alarm actions that will take place when the alarm is triggered. ...
Page 49
PTZ Function – Assign a PTZ function (Preset, Tour, Auto Scan or Pattern) for the camera to perform when this alarm is activated. If Preset is selected, you will be prompted to enter a Dwell Time (1~256). This is the time in seconds that the camera will remain at that Preset location, and then it will return to the location that it was pointing at the time the alarm occurred.
Motion Detection allows the camera to detect motion and trigger alarms when motion in the detected area exceeds the determined sensitivity threshold value. On the Motion Detection page, there is a motion detection window (red box) displayed on the Live View Pane. The Motion Detection window defines the motion detection area. To change the size of the Motion Detection window, drag the edge of the frame to resize.
Page 51
When motion detection is activated, the Motion pop-up window will open. When motion is detected, the signals will be displayed on the Motion window as shown below Motion Detection Turn motion detection on or off. The default setting is Off. Motion Detection Setting In the Motion window the red line provides a motion detection threshold indication;...

Recording List - Each file recorded to the Micro SD/SDHC card will be listed in the Recording List. The maximum file is 60MB per file. The letters A/M/R appear at the beginning of each file, denoting the type of recording. A for alarm; M for motion; and R for regular recording. ...
The recording schedule allows you to set up scheduled recording to a local Micro SD/SDHC card. Activating Micro SD/SDHC Card Recording To set up continuous micro SD/SDHC card recording: Select Always to continually record until the card is full. To set the camera to overwrite old data, see the instructions for Disk Cleanup Setting earlier in this section.
The CM-816 camera supports JPEG snapshot function. You can specify a storage location for the snapshots. The default setting is: C:\. If you are using Windows Vista or 7, you will need to change the Snapshot location. Windows UAC does not allow internet programs to write directly to C:\ for security reasons.

Set Default –To reset the IP camera to the factory default settings, including the default IP address, click Set Default.
Video and Audio Streaming Settings On the Streaming tab, the Administrator can configure specific video resolution, video compression mode, video protocol, audio transmission mode, etc. Select the desired video resolution for the camera on the Video Format page. The recorder will record video based on the resolution selected here. 30875AE...
Video Resolution The camera provides four codec options under video resolution (two single streaming options and two sets of dual streaming options): MJPEG only H.264 only MJPEG + H.264 H.264 + H.264 Once a codec option is selected, multiple resolutions are available for each stream. MJPEG Resolutions* H.264 Resolutions* 1920x1080...
Video Rotate Type You can change the orientation of the video output if necessary. Normal Video – This is the default rotation designed for a normal setup with the camera mounted with the dome facing down. Flip Video – This option will vertically flip the video image (without the intervention of another device this may cause the reversal of perceived left and right when viewing the image).
You can select an MJPEG/H.264 compression mode on the video compression page appropriate for your application. You can also select to display compression information on the Home page. MJPEG Compression settings include: high compression, low bit rate, low quality ...
Video OCX Protocol On the Video OCX protocol page, you can select different protocols for streaming media over the network. In the case of multicast networking, you can select the Multicast mode. Video OCX protocol setting options include: RTP over UDP ...
Setting the camera to transmit fewer frames can save bandwidth. Each of the MJPEG and H.264 streams can have a separate frame rate setting from 1 to 30 frames per second. Higher frame rate will increase video smoothness, as well as file size and bandwidth usage.
On the audio page, the Administrator can select an audio transmission mode and audio bit rate. Audio monitoring and recording laws vary from location to location. It is highly recommended that you consult your local, state, and federal laws to verify that you are in compliance before implementing audio recording.
Bit Rate Selectable audio transmission bit rate include: 16 kbps (G.726) 40 kbps (G.726) 24 kbps (G.726) uLAW (G.711) 32 kbps (G.726) ALAW (G.711). Both uLAW and ALAW signify 64 kbps but in different compression formats. Higher bit rate will provide higher audio quality and require more bandwidth.
Use the PTZ tab to program Presets, Patterns, Auto Scans and Tours via PTZ controls. Additionally, various camera settings including Auto Exposure (AE), White Balance (WB), Back Light Compensation (BLC), Sharpness, Exposure Compensation, etc. also can be set here. Preset Up to 256 Presets can be programmed for the camera.
To move the camera view to a specified Preset position: Select the Preset Point from the list under Preset Go. The camera will move to the target position. Pattern The camera supports up to eight patterns. To create a Pattern: Select a path number from the Pattern Path list.
