3.How to install 1) Remove Dome Cover - Please turn counterclockwise the dome cover by grasping the bottom of the camera. 2) ADJUST IMAGE POSITION - The orientation of the camera up and down on the position of the image you want, please adjust left and right.
2. Accessing the Camera Follow the instructions in the NMDI Installation Guide to install the camera. The NMDI could be accessed with most standard operating systems and browsers. The recommended browser is Internet Explorer for Windows with other operating systems. 2.1 Access from a browser 1.
2.2 Accessing the camera from the Internet Once installed, the camera is accessible on the local network (LAN). Configure the router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic to access the camera from the Internet. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for router/firewall for further instructions.
2.5 Video stream types H.264 protocols and communication methods • RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is a protocol that allows programs to manage the real-time transmission of multimedia data, via unicast or multicast. • RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) serves as a control protocol, to negotiate the type of transport protocol to use for the stream.
RTP/RTSP/Unicasting should be used for video-on-demand broadcasting, so that there is no video traffic on the network until a client connects and requests the stream. However, as more and more unicast clients get connected, the traffic on the network will increase and may cause congestion. Although there is a maximum of 10 unicast viewers, note that all multicast users combined count as 1 unicast viewer.
4. Installation The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the NMDI. 4.1 Installation Setup Analog Output allows use of the analog BNC output from the camera to connect the camera NTSC, PAL: Analog Output is enabled. OFF: Analog output will be disabled.
5. Camera and Image The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the NMDI. 5.1 Video Codec These are the tools for adjusting the H.264 settings and controlling the video bit rate. H.264 This is a video compression standard that makes good use of bandwidth and which could provide high-quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s.
Codec H.264 Size Video output resolution. See the next page for the output resolution table. Image rate 1~30fps in normal mode (1~15fps for slow shutter mode) Note: If the slow shutter mode is turned on and the low light condition is met, the frame rate is automatically goes down.
5.2 Camera This section allows you to adjust various camera settings. 5.2.1 Exposure Control Exposure Mode AUTO: Use this setting for automatic exposure control. MANUAL: Use these settings to control camera exposure manually. To compensate for poor lighting conditions, you can adjust the Color level, Brightness, Sharpness, Contrast and Exposure control.
Max AGC Gain For low light conditions, adjust to a higher value, such as 30dB. BLC Control (Back Light Compensation) The BLC adjusts the exposure of scenes with strong backlight in the center-bottom of the image. When the image background is too bright, or the subject too dark, backlight compensation makes the subject appear clearer.
