Optera™ Operations Manual
Using the System Menu
The
System
menu contains general system time settings, and on screen display settings. It also provides
access to basic system information, and the backup, restore, and restart functions. Options may vary
depending on your camera model.
From the
System
menu, you can also access snapshots generated by event handlers.
Changing the Camera Name
Providing a user-friendly name might help you and other users identify the camera on the network, and
within other applications. The camera name is the name that appears bothin the Web interface and within
other applications that can find the device.

2. Provide a user-friendly name in the
3. Click Save.
Enabling and Disabling LEDs

affect your camera's network status and activity LEDs.
1. Select
General Settings
2. Select On or Off beside Enable LEDs.

Optera Compatibility Mode
Optera Compatibility Mode determines the type of stream(s) the camera sends to your Video Management
System, recorders, and clients. You should set the compatibility mode based on the panomersive
integration with your VMS. Check with your integrator to determine the panomersive implementation within
your VMS or client.
Panomersive
mode is for classic, typical panomersive/Optera integrations including VideoXpert.
l
The camera produces multiple streams representing the cube faces used by the Panomersive
Toolkit; the toolkit then assembles the streams as a single view at the VMS or client. Use this mode
for typical panomersive integrations, especially in VMS environments representing Optera as
multiple physical cameras.
Tiled
mode is for VMSes or clients that do not have a panomersive integration to dewarp and
l
assemble Optera streams. In this mode, the camera outputs "tiled" streams that the user can
assemble in a client to resemble a panorama. (For example, a 180 camera would output 3 "tiled"
streams; the user would place the streams next to each other in order at the client, producing the
semblance of a panorama across the three tiles or cells. You cannot use virtual PTZ controls when
in tiled mode.
Note: Switching to or from tiled mode clears all analytics and window-blanking settings.
Panomersive Uni-stream
l
single camera or stream. The camera outputs a single video stream that the Panomersive Toolkit
integration dewarps and allows users to access. The dimensions of the uni-stream are larger than
allowed by h.264 specifications; this may result in issues with decoders expecting streams that
strictly comply with dimensions defined by the h.264 specification.
