2.5 Live View Client PC Speaker (enable / disable) Client PC Microphone (enable / disable) Digital Zoom Snapshot Full Screen Video Stream Change (1 Stream <> 2 Stream) Play: Start Video Stream Stop: Stop Streaming NOTE: It is possible that not all the buttons described below will be visible unless the Live View page has been customized to display them.
H.264 Protocols & Communication Methods (continued) Unicasting is communication between a single sender and a single receiver over a network. This means that the video stream is transmitted independently to each user, and each user receives their own video stream. A benefit of unicasting is in case one stream fails, it only affects one user. Multicasting is bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces bandwidth usage by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to multiple network recipients.
3. Setup The GANZ PixelPro is configured from the Setup tab, which is available on the upper-left hand side in the web interface. This configuration could be performed by: - Administrators, who have unrestricted access to all settings under the Setup tab.
4. Installation The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available with GANZ PixelPro. 4.1 Installation Mode Installation Mode allows use of the analog BNC output from the camera to connect the camera to a service monitor, in order to adjust the positioning of the camera and focus the lens.

5.2 Camera This section allows you to adjust various camera settings. 5.2.1 Exposure Control Enable AE (Auto Exposure) ON: Use this setting for automatic exposure control. OFF: Use these settings to control camera exposure manually. To compensate for poor lighting conditions, you can adjust the Color level, Brightness, Sharpness, Contrast, Exposure control, and DC-Iris.
The GANZ PixelPro camera can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color temperature. If necessary, the type of light source could be set manually.
Origin : Back to original factory default position. 6. Audio The GANZ PixelPro can transmit audio to other clients, and can also play audio received from other clients. This section describes the basic audio settings, such as setting the communication codec, and adjusting the sound levels for the microphone and speakers connected to the camera.
GANZ PixelPro can support up to 10 simultaneous users via unicast. With multicasting, GANZ PixelPro can support an unlimited number of users. If supported on the network, consider using the multicast function, as the bandwidth consumption will be much lower.
8. SD Card 8.1 Configuration SD Card Configuration This configuration page allows you to save video and still images to the Micro SD (SDHC) card. NOTE: This function cannot be used when Installation mode is turned ON. Set the first stream to 1280x720 or 1280x720(wide) in the Video >...
8.2 Event Event SD Writing You can configure the camera to store still images based on events such as Alarm In and Motion detection. NOTE: This function cannot be used when Installation mode is turned ON. Set the first stream to 1280x720 or 1280x720(wide) in the Video >...
8.3 Periodical Periodical SD Writing It is setting page to save the still shot in the Micro SD card periodically. NOTE: This function cannot be used when Installation mode is turned ON. Set the first stream to 1280x720 or 1280x720(wide) in the Video > Codec section, and second stream to MJPEG or ‘None’. The Directory and File Prefix fields are same as on the SD Card >...
9. FTP 9.1 Configuration Server Configuration Enable / Disable the FTP function to download saved content from the SD Card remotely. When it is Enabled, the FTP client can download the saved content without removing the SD Card. Client Configuration Allows transmission of still images to remote sites, using the FTP server.
Event FTP Sending Allows transmission of still images to the FTP server at remote sites when an event occurs. NOTE: This function cannot be used when Installation mode is turned ON. Set the first stream to 1280x720 or 1280x720(wide) in the Video > Codec section, and second stream to MJPEG or ‘None’. The menu structure is similar to the SD Card >Event menu, but instead of saving the still image to the SD card on an event, it transmits to the FTP server configured in the FTP >...
10. Event 10.1 Alarm Port Alarm Input (dry contact) Used for connecting external alarm contacts and triggering specific alarm-based events. The input is typically connected to a motion detector or any other external security device, so that recording can be triggered and/or still images could be recorded and/or uploaded whenever the sensor is activated.
10.2 Motion Motion Detection Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs within the video image. A total of 4 motion detection zones can be configured. Configuring Motion Detection Click Motion Detection in the Event Config menu. Click ‘Add Window’, and select an area for motion detection by checking the relevant box.
10.3 Mapping Event Mapping It is possible to define conditions that would cause the camera to respond with certain actions. A triggered event happens as a result of an event which is mapped within this menu. This could be caused by motion detection or an external alarm input. Alarm Out events could be triggered by either Motion or Alarm In.
11.1 IP Setup IP Address Configuration The GANZ PixelPro supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6 (IPv6 will be supported as of v3.0). Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version should be always enabled.

How to Assign an IP Address Default setting is set to “DHCP” and “UPnP” function is set to ON. If your network has a DHCP server and the UPnP function is enabled on your PC, you can find the camera in “My Network”. 1) Execute the PixelPro Discovery Tool (from the Installation CD), and click “Search”...
11.2 Service Port Service Port HTTP port The default HTTP port number (80) could be changed to any port within the valid port range (1-65535). This is useful for simple port mapping. RTSP port The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. Enter the RTSP port number to use.
11.3 RTP RTP Port Range The IP address, port number, and Time-To-Live (TTL) value to use for the video stream(s) in multicast H.264 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for multicast. 11.4 E-mail You must turn Notification to ‘On’ and then enter the host names or addresses for your mail servers in the fields provided, to enable the sending of event and error email messages from the camera to predefined addresses via SMTP.
11.5 DDNS The GANZ Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) can provide your GANZ product with its own name server address (URL), which can then be used to access it over the Internet. The product can be unregistered from the service at any time. To do this click Network > DDNS and turn the DDNS off.
11.6 UPnP Universal Plug & Play (UPnP) allows you to find the IP camera automatically on your network.
