Page 25: Event
Event On the Event pages, you can define how the unit is to handle incoming events. In This Chapter 8.1 Event Management....................25 8.2 Connection Monitor....................25 8.3 Digital I/O......................26 8.4 FTP Push......................27 Event Management On the Event Management page, you can link actions to specific events. Once the event occurs, it triggers the selected action automatically. -
Page 26: Digital I/O
The number of digital I/O channels that is provided depends on the model of your encoder (see the table below). Each of the I/O pins can function as a digital input or a digital output (but not simultaneously). Product Digital I/O channels EVE ONE EVE FOUR EVE 4x4 S-60 E v2 S-64 E v2 On the Digital I/O page, you can set the mode for each pin. -

Page 28: Recording
Recording The unit provides edge recording. This function makes it possible to record and store video locally - that is, at the unit itself. Recorded video clips are stored on the microSD card inside the unit. From the Edge Recording page, the clips can be downloaded for further processing. In This Chapter 9.1 Camera-#......................28 9.2 SD Card.......................29... -
Page 29: Sd Card
Recording ● signal loss ● audio level rising above a threshold Note: If you set connection loss as a trigger you also need to set up the Connection Monitor to monitor the connection. Persistent recording Recording to the microSD card is persistent. This means that powering the unit off and on does not erase the existing recordings on the microSD card. -
Page 30: Nas Recording
Recording SD card usage We advise to use high-grade, highly-durable microSD cards. Note that microSD cards are limited to the number of write cycles ranging from 200 (off-the-shelf TLC NAND) to 100.000 (4 GB industrial SLC NAND). Intensive usage will eventually wear out the card. The number of write cycles times the capacity of the microSD card gives you the total amount of data that can be written to the card in its life time. - Page 31 Recording Path In the Path box, type the name of the folder where the unit should store its recording data. For SMB/CIFS, the path always starts with the share name, followed by the directory in the share. Example: camera/camera0016. User name In the User name box, type the user name to be used to connect to the NAS server (only applicable for SMB/CIFS).

Device Using the Firmware upgrade section you can write a new firmware version to the upgrade image area. An upgrade image can replace an existing upgrade image written to the unit at an earlier upgrade. Important: It is essential that the upgrade image is compatible with the unit. To open the upgrade section, click Firmware upgrade. - Page 34 A DHCP server is found and an IP address is assigned from its pool of addresses. The unit can then be found with Device Manager - a software tool available for download at siqura.com/downloads/software. You can use this tool to connect to the web interface of the unit.
- Page 35 In that case, the unit can still be controlled from ONVIF clients that "know" of its existence. Select this check box if you need to establish MX connections. MX/IP is a proprietary UDP protocol used to communicate with Siqura equipment over a network connection.
-
Page 36: Date & Time
Device UPnP If enabled, UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows the unit to advertise its presence and services to control points on the network. A control point can be a network device with embedded UPnP, a VMS application or a spy software tool, such as Device Spy. With the UPnP service enabled in Windows, you can connect to the unit from Windows Explorer. -
Page 37: Security
Device Use a time server We strongly recommend that you use a time server. Without a time server, the real-time clock will deviate from the actual time after a few days. There are two options for specifying which time server is to be used. ●... - Page 38 Device Certificates To implement HTTPS on the unit, you need to install an HTTPS certificate. You can use a self- signed certificate or one created by a Certificate Authority (CA). CA-issued certificates provide a higher level of security and inspire more trust than self-signed certificates. Self-signed certificates are often installed for test purposes or as a temporary solution until a CA-issued certificate has been obtained.

Page 40: Snmp
A trap is sent when bad image quality or camera tampering is detected and another one when the situation returns to normal. Required MIB files can be downloaded at siqura.com/downloads/software. System information This section shows the network/device data specifically made available to the SNMP manager for making the device, its location and service manager(s) traceable. - Page 41 Camera Tampering events. Variables, which can be read from the unit's MIB through an SNMP manager, indicate why the alarm occurred. The OPTC-VCA-MIB required for this can be downloaded, together with the other MIBs for the unit, at siqura.com/downloads/software. In the Version list, click the SNMP version used.

Page 43: Analytics
Analytics Siqura video encoders include video analytics which can monitor the video images and raise an alert when the following events occur: ● The image quality becomes too poor. ● The camera's position or field of view has changed. ●... -
Page 44: Tampering
Analytics 12.2 Tampering As a result of tampering, or more accidentally, after cleaning, a camera may no longer cover the area designated for monitoring. The Tampering function can detect camera position changes and scene changes such as a blocked camera view. It does so by comparing the current image to one or more reference images that were captured and stored earlier. -
Page 45: Quality Monitor
Analytics 12.3 Quality Monitor The Quality Monitor can detect if images produced by the camera are still usable. Four coloured dials give an indication of the performance of the camera and show whether or not it needs attention. A quality check is made against what is normally a good picture. Examples of detectable occurrences ●... -
Page 46: Advanced
Advanced The Advanced menu gives access to the Direct Streaming, Data, and Audio (if supported) pages. Important: We recommend that you have in-depth understanding of the Advanced settings and their values before you make any changes. If in doubt, do not change the default values. -
Page 47: Data
Advanced Direct Streaming The unit supports direct media streaming to a multicast or unicast IP address (a decoder or viewing application, for example). In IP address, type the destination IP address. In Port, type the destination port number. Default: 50010. Use even numbers only. Select Enable. -
Page 48: Audio
Advanced Biasing If biasing is needed, it should be enabled on at least one module on the bus. Termination Normally, the devices at the two extremes of a bus are terminated, while intermediate devices are not. Therefore: RS-422, always enable (being point-to-point); RS-485, enable only for the first and last module connected to the bus configuration. -

Page 51: Upgrade Issues
Troubleshooting 14.6 Upgrade issues Successful upgrades are reported as "Successfully upgraded to version ...". In the event of an unsuccessful upgrade, the following error messages may help you pinpoint the cause of the problem. Upgrade procedure already in progress Cause: The unit received multiple upgrade requests at approximately the same time. However, only one request can be handled at a time. -
Page 52: Webpage Issues
Troubleshooting Solution: Set a lower resolution for one or more video streams and disable the quad view stream if not needed. Frame rate drops Cause: On multichannel units, the four encoders can simultaneously handle video encoding at full frame rate at 960H resolution. It is not recommended, however, to generate eight video streams at 960H. -
