1. Product Features The EVC ZN-XXX is a high performance H.264 network camera, designed for demanding security installations. It delivers crisp, clear images, disclosing every detail, thanks to its top quality 5.0 Megapixel progressive CCD sensor, Megapixel lens and advanced image processing. EVC ZN-XXX features a removable infrared cut filter, which enables color video in high and low light conditions, as well as IR sensitive black/white video at night.

The EVC ZN-XXX offers a comprehensive set of network security and management features. This includes support for port based network control (IEEE802.1X), which allows the camera to be connected to a network secured with this control, and HTTPS encryption, which provides a secure channel between camera and application.

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.

2.6 Video stream types Motion JPEG This format uses standard JPEG still images in the video stream. These images are then displayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion. The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but also provides excellent image quality and access to every individual image contained in the stream.
Page 10
RTP+RTSP This method (actually RTP over UDP and RTSP over TCP) should be your first consideration for live video, especially when it is important to always have an up-to- date video stream, even if some images are lost due to network problems. This could be configured as multicast or unicast.
3. The Setup The EVC ZN-XXX is configured from the Setup link, which is available on the top left hand side in the web interface. This configuration could be done by: • Administrators, who have unrestricted access to all settings under the Setup link •...
4. Installation The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the EVC ZN-XXX. 4.1 Installation Setup Installation mode is for matching the focus with analog output. After connecting the analog monitor output, User can match the focus easily. Please refer Chapter 2.3.
5. Camera and Image The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the EVC ZN-XXX. 5.1 Codec These are the tools for adjusting the H.264, MJPEG settings and controlling the video bit rate. Motion JPEG This format uses standard JPEG still images in the video stream. These images then are displayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.
Page 14
Using H.264, it is also possible to control the bit rate, which in turn allows the amount of bandwidth usage to be controlled. CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is used to achieve a specific bit rate by varying the quality of the H.264 stream. While using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), the quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible, at the cost of a varying bit rate.

5.2.1 Exposure Control Enable AE (Auto Exposure) ON: Use these settings to control full automatic exposure control. Some sub menus ( AGC Gain, e-Shutter Speed) will be disabled. OFF: Use these settings to control exposure manually. To compensate for poor lighting conditions, you could adjust the Color level, Brightness, Sharpness, Contrast, Exposure control, and DC-Iris.

The EVC ZN-XXX Network Camera could be set automatically to identify the light source used and compensate for its color. Alternatively, the type of light source could be set manually. The configuration of the video image would affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth.
6. Audio The EVC ZN-XXX could transmit audio to other clients, using a connected external microphone and could play audio received from other clients via connected speakers. This section describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the EVC ZN-XXX, such as setting the communication mode, adjusting the sound levels in the microphone and speakers connected to the camera.
7. Live EVC ZN-XXX could support 10 simultaneous users. In case of multicast, EVC ZN-XXX could support unlimited number of users. If supported on the network, consider using multicasting, as the bandwidth consumption will be much lower.
