Configuring the High-Speed Dome camera This section describes how to configure the Network Speed Dome Camera and is intended for the product Administrator, who has unrestricted access to all Setup tools. Overview of the Administrator Tools The table below provides an overview of the Administration tools: Basic Network, Dynamic DNS, Date and Time, Video, PTZ Setup User Account...
Network All network-related settings can be defined here. Device Name Enter a device name for the camera. The camera shows up in your network under this name. The name also shows up in your DHCP Server log, should you decide to set the Network Address to "Dynamic IP Address"...
Dynamic DNS Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you with one public IP address. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your ISP. If your IP Address changes periodically, you want to use the DDNS Service (free service offered a www.dyndns.org) to obtain a static address for your dynamic IP.
Date and Time Current Camera Time Displays current date and time information based on the settings below. Time Configuration (x) Set Manually You can enter yyyy-mm-dd (year-month-day) for date and hh:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds) for time. Manual time configuration is required if the camera is unable to make a connection to an NTP server, perhaps because the camera has no access to the Internet and no local NTP Server is present.
Video All video-related settings can be configured on the page below. Dual Mode Streaming When this is activated, the camera will send out MPEG4 video and Motion-JPEG video at the same time. This can be useful if you want to utilize a third-party video surveillance solution which uses Motion-JPEG and at the same time want to benefit of the MPEG4 compression for your Web browser based access.

Image Size, Image Quality, Image Rotation Image Size: Select the image resolution from the drop-down list. Possible values are: 720x480, 640x480, 720x240, 640x240, 352x240 and 320x240. Frame Rate: FPS stands for frames per second, or images per second. To conserve bandwidth, you may lower the overall maximum frame rate of the live video.
Page 18
Highest Bit Rate/Quality -> highest network bandwidth usage: The effects of compression are minimal at the best image quality settings. The bandwidth usage of the camera at this setting can be up to 10 Mbps. De-Interlace Interlaced video is composed of two fields that are captured at different moments in time. When displayed on a typical computer screen, interlaced video frames will exhibit motion artifacts when both fields are combined and displayed at the same moment (today's computer screens are progressive scan monitors which display the image line by line from top to bottom without interlacing).
Page 19
NOTE: De-interlacing is only active for ActiveX / MS Internet Explorer. Java does not support it. Color Control You can adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Hue settings of the live image. Normally it is not necessary to change these values as the camera automatically adjusts for changing light conditions.

Dynamic DNS Registration Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you with one IP address which you use to connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes depends on your ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your network over the Internet.
