    The group prefix is a user-definable expression (for example, myhostname), however, it is required. This allows administrators to assign different user groups and, thus, variable user rights to multiple simultaneously installed LDAP clients of the same system design (e.g. Dallmeier cameras described here). The available group suffixes are fixed expressions:...
  • Page 40 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM On the LDAP server, the LDAP group names with the group prefix myhostname would in this case be as follows: myhostname_G4 Group 1 (Administrator): Group 2 (User): myhostname_G2 Group 3 (Guest): myhostname_G1 However, it is absolutely necessary to also enter the used group prefix on the LDAP client (this device).
  • Page 41 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM Before saving the settings, the entries have to be verified. The validation is performed by querying the LDAP directory for an existing authorized LDAP user with administration rights (member of group 1). The settings on the LDAP client can only be saved if the query has been successful (re- turns an internal result).

    DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM 8.4.2 Rights The three user groups, and thus the assigned users, can be granted individual rights. In addition, the general public (user group anonymous) can be granted or denied access to certain types of live images (and/or live audio).

    DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM Network Basic Settings The network settings of the device can be configured manually or automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. In order to avoid network conflicts, you should clarify if intended network settings are permitted. In particular, the allocation of an already used IP address may result in mal- functions.
  • Page 45 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM  Note the explanations below. Connection Type This setting defines the transfer rate and the duplex mode. The “Connection type > automatic” (Autonegotiation) is sufficient for most applications. Bandwidth Limit Limiting the bandwidth (maximum allowed peak bit rate) can be useful to prevent video artifacts or frame drops due to packet loss with low bandwidth connections.
  • Page 46: Manual Configuration

    The newly assigned network settings can be determined by the MAC address of the de- vice using the IP-Finder or on the DHCP server. The IP-Finder must be executed in the same LAN in which the device is located.

    DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM Streaming 9.2.1 Video Server The (static) video server provides for a continuous transmission (streaming) of the pro- duced video data into the network, even without an application’s active data request. Note that the format of the RTP payload to be transported must correspond with the en- coding standard.
  • Page 48: Transfer Method

    DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM The transfer format defines the RTP payload to be transported. RTP/H264 The video data is packetized by the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) for a H.264 Video Elementary Stream. Audio data is not transferred. The data must be encoded to H.264 format.

    Dynamic Servers A dynamic server is created whenever a UDP or TCP data transmission is actively re- quested, for example, via the ActiveX-based Dallmeier control, the DaVid Protocol, the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) or via SMAVIA Viewing Client. The Dynamic servers tab provides information on the currently created dynamic servers.
  • Page 50: Audio Client

    DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM 9.2.3 Audio Client The Audio client tab allows for the configuration of the processing of audio data being sent to the device by external applications via UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or rather the activation of the output of the received audio signal via the installed analogue Audio OUT interface.

  • Page 52 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM The RtSP tab is used to configure the RTSP server in the camera. Fig. 9-5 The standard port number for RTSP is 554. In the RtSP server port input field the port number can be changed as needed. In order to generally prevent access to the RTSP server in the camera, which means not to allow any RTSP transmission, the relevant checkbox can be deactivated.

In addition, presets can be very useful starting points for the manual fine adjustment of different camera parameters.
  • Page 55 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM Flip By using the flip function, the image in the camera can be mirrored (flipped) horizontally, vertically or on both axes simultaneously. This provides flexible installation options for desktop, wall or ceiling applications. exposure/WB To reproduce accurate colours, regardless of the prevailing light sources and colour tem- peratures (measured in Kelvin), a correct white balance is required.
  • Page 56 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM Noise filter This setting can improve the image quality by reducing noise in signal processing. In scenes with lots of complex objects, enabling this function, however, may lead to a loss of detail in the image. The noise filter described here can be enabled at all resolutions.

    DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM 10.2.3 Day/Night The camera is designed to produce high-quality images in daylight as well as under low light conditions or at night. In the Day/Night tab, the following settings can be configured: Fig. 10-4 Mode • Automatic (Day/Night switching): The automatic Day/Night switching depends on the amount of visible light detected by the integrated ambient light sensor and internal defined parameters.
  • Page 59 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM Response time This function provides further fine adjustments of the automatic Day/Night switching. The response time defines the Day/Night switching delay time once the particular thresh- old levels are reached. Possible values: 1 sec. – 20 min. (Default: 5 sec.)

    DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM • Spot Light (spot metering): The exposure metering is only carried out for the image section as defined by the user. That area is then optimally exposed. However, the other image areas can be heavily overexposed or underexposed. This setting is recommended for scenes with extreme variations in brightness when a specific image section is to be exposed absolutely correctly.

    The camera is equipped with a motor-driven varifocal P-Iris lens. The focal length (zoom) and the focus are adjusted in the Lens control dialogue. Note that the Microsoft Internet Explorer is required and the ActiveX-based Dallmeier con- trol must be installed in order to display the live video.
  • Page 88 DDF4820HDV-DN-IM/-SM For best focusing results during the camera installation, P-Iris automatically selects the widest aperture and, with it, the smallest depth of field. Hence, it is able to achieve perfect image sharpness regardless of the lighting conditions.
