C-Series really comes into its own. Thanks to a wide range of onboard technologies developed by the Oncam team, combined with an intuitive user interface and seamless ONVIF implementation, users have the freedom to configure and tailor the camera to best serve their installation environment.
Installation & User Manual – Oncam C-SERIES Series Placement and Orientation Camera placement is an important factor when planning your deployment. The Oncam C-Series camera has an exceptionally wide viewing angle. Consider the camera location for providing comprehensive coverage of a wide area. Mount the camera with an unobstructed view and consider scene optimization when one portion of the scene is bright and another dark.
RJ45 and Punch Down For increased flexibility during camera installation, two methods of connection to the Oncam C- Series camera are available - RJ45 and Punch Down (or IDC). As part of the installation, if a network installer is bringing ethernet to every camera position then you can plug the cable straight into the camera.
To access the camera for the first time, you will need to discover the IP address of the camera. This can be discovered using your ONVIF compatible VMS (for a list of supported VMS partners please go to https://www.oncamgrandeye.com), the Oncam C-Series Camera Configuration Tool (download from https://www.oncamgrandeye.com/resources/c-series-camera-config-...

To communicate with a camera on a Link Local address the PC must also have a Link Local address allocated. This can be done manually if needed in all PC operating systems. This can also be done within the Oncam Camera Configuration Tool by clicking on the Link Local toggle switch to turn the feature on.
Open the Camera Configuration Tool on a PC that is on the same network as the cameras. As soon as the App is initiated it will discover the Oncam C-Series cameras on your network and display key information including the Friendly name, Model number, MAC Address and most importantly the IP Address of the camera.

5.3.1.4 Default Media Profiles and Video Encoders The Oncam C-Series camera supports up to four hardware video encoders which capture, compress, and convert video data into a format suitable for streaming and/or recording. Four default Media Profiles (MP1 - MP4 when in Multiple Streams Mode) have been created to represent each video encoder.

Oncam Angle Compensation Technology, they are perfectly parallel. The purpose of the Angle Compensation Technology is to correct the image so that all vertical lines in the scene (such as door or window frames, pillars, lamp posts etc.) are shown...
5.3.2.1 Image Settings Controls Oncam cameras are designed to adapt to the current lighting and scene conditions to produce optimal images at all times with default settings. Configure settings for any flicker-inducing, infra-red, or high dynamic range lighting conditions. Occasionally, user preferences, unusual conditions or areas of interest in the scene can require other special adjustments.

5.3.2.4 Advanced Light Management Technology Oncam’s Advanced Light Management Technology dynamically manages the available light to achieve the best results in every corner of every 360-degree scene. Whether it be extreme low light or a complex mixed lighting environment, it automatically optimizes image quality whatever light available to produce clearer, full-color, lower noise surveillance videos, while maintaining the sharpness of static or moving objects even in very low light conditions.
Range is -100 to +100. Default is 0. 5.3.2.11 Camera Mount Position This control lets any Oncam-enabled dewarping systems know in which orientation the camera is installed, so the dewarping systems can make sure the VCam images stay the right way up and move naturally.
If you are not sure, use BT.601 Studio Swing. If incorrect, it will have the least harmful effect on the image. In Oncam's tests, most display systems were found to use BT.601 SS regardless of the flags and so that is the default setting.

It uses smart dynamic object & motion-based algorithms, to analyze the video stream on the fly and identify what’s really important.
5.3.4.2 ColorMap Compression ColorMap is Oncam’s advanced color compression technology. By acting only on unperceivable colors in the scene, it can lead to an additional 20% bandwidth saving on top of traditional compression technologies. Shrink bandwidth and storage even further, without compromising image quality and level of details.
All key camera identification information is accessible in this area. This includes the camera name, model number, serial number and the firmware version. The camera model name can also be set here to identify itself as an Oncam Evolution 12 for ease of implementation into existing ONVIF installations.
5.8.1.6 NVI Emulation To ensure that C-12 camera can be seamlessly integrated into an existing Oncam Evolution 12 installation, enabling this mode will change the ONVIF Model name of the camera to EVO- 12NxD. The camera will then be recognized as an Evolution 12 camera and can be configured as required.
