VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION

FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

PRIMARY STREAM AND SECONDARY STREAM

The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams
can be set up using a video preset setting, or they can be customized using the video configuration settings.
A video preset is a pre-defined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream
configuration, use the Video Preset page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.
To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream use the Video Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.
Configurable settings include the stream name, compression standard, resolution setting, image rate, and bit rate. The default names for the
streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names have been changed, the new names will replace the default
names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.
QUICKVIEW STREAM
The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with VGA resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is displayed when the
Imaging Tab settings are configured. This allows users to view changes to exposure, white balance, and tone map settings as they are configured
and before the settings are saved.
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream. The only stream setting that is selectable is the framerate: 2 ips
or 1 ips.
C2973M-B (1/10) 27
UNICAST
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.
The camera supports a maximum of 20 simultaneous users.
MULTICAST
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.

Network Tab
Use the Network tab to change the camera’s general network settings, select the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings, enable Secure Shell (SSH),
and configure 802.1x port security settings.
General Network Settings

The General Network page includes programmable and read-only fields for network communication settings. Available settings include the
Hardware Address, Hostname, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Servers.
You can also enable or disable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server from the General Network page. DHCP automatically
assigns an IP address to the device if there is a DHCP server on the network. If DHCP is set to On, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
server settings are read-only text. If DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually changed. The default camera setting for DHCP is On.
SSL Settings
To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide several security levels that can be adjusted for sites that use SSL technology to
transmit data. SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.
SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the Web browser accessing the camera has the required authentication. The camera can
generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign®), or it can generate
a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.
SSH Settings
SSH is a user-enabled protocol that allows Pelco Product Support to log on to and service the camera for advanced troubleshooting purposes.
From this page, users with the appropriate permissions can enable or disable SSH access to the camera.
802.1x
802.1x is a port security that authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access through a wired or wireless port using
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This port-based authentication method prevents unauthorized access to a Local Area Network (LAN)
through a physical port. For example, when a device is connected to a network port, the network switch will ask the device for authentication. If
the credential is accepted when the device sends a credential to the network switch, the network switch will open the port for normal use. If
authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.

TURNING ON DHCP
The default Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) setting for the camera is DHCP On. If the DHCP option is set to Off, complete the
following steps to reset it to On.
3. Select the On option for DHCP.
NOTE: If the camera is not connected to a DHCP server but DHCP is set to On, the default IP address 192.168.0.20 on subnet mask 255.255.255.0
is automatically assigned to the camera. After the first camera is connected and assigned the default IP address, the system will automatically
look for other cameras on the auto IP address system and assign IP addresses in sequential order as required. For example if three cameras are
connected to a network without a DHCP server, the first camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.20, the second camera will be assigned
address 192.168.0.21, and the third camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.22.
TURNING OFF DHCP

WARNING: Contact your network administrator to avoid any network conflicts before setting or changing the IP address of the device.
3. Select the Off option for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Imaging Tab
Use the Imaging tab to change the camera’s general image settings, adjust the camera exposure, program the focus mechanism, adjust the tone
map settings to increase scene detail, tune the white balance settings for scenes with fluctuating lighting conditions, or define window blanking
privacy areas.
General Imaging Settings

General imaging settings include adjustments for camera orientation and digital processing. The Orientation settings reconfigure the image
180 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically. Use these settings when installing the camera in an inverted position. If the orientation is
not adjusted, the image will display upside down and mirrored.
Digital processing settings can be set to Auto or Manual to adjust the camera’s sharpness, saturation, and contrast. When set to Auto, the
camera continually delivers the best possible image by automatically adjusting the digital processing settings based on the scene. Auto is the
default setting. Manual digital processing is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source.
Exposure Settings
Exposure is the amount of light detected by the camera sensor. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail and contrast between
white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates detail in the scene. The camera features Auto and Manual
exposure settings. Auto exposure automatically sets the amount of light detected by the camera sensor based on settings for light control,
exposure compensation, and the day and night exposure times. Manual exposure sets the amount of light detected by the camera sensor based
on a user-defined setting. Manual exposure is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source.
Auto is the default setting.
Focus Settings
Only avialable with the IM10 model.Focus sets the back focus to the center focal point of the scene. The camera can be configured to back focus
automatically or manually. Auto focus automatically back focuses the camera on the subject in the center of the scene. Manual focus turns off
the auto focus mechanism and locks the camera at a user-specified position. The manual focus setting is recommended only for indoor
applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source. The Focus page also includes Full Range Auto-Focus, Quick Auto-Focus, and a
Factory Defaults.
Tone Map Settings

Tone map balances the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to produce an image with more balanced lighting and more detail. This is
accomplished, in part, when the device maps the 10-bit input sensor data (0 to 1023 bits) into 8-bit output RGB values (0 to 255 bits).
White Balance Settings

White balance settings define how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White balance is especially effective in
scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one type of light source. For example, scenes that benefit from white
balance correction are outdoor scenes, indoor scenes that include a window or door that opens to the outdoors, or indoor scenes that include
both incandescent and fluorescent lighting.
38 C2973M-B (1/10)
Window Blanking Settings
Window blanking is used to conceal user-defined privacy areas. A blanked area appears on the screen as a solid gray window. The camera can

3. Select the Auto mode.
4. Select the Light Control method: Digital Exposure or Auto-Iris Exposure.
Digital Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the sensor exposure time depending on the light level at the scene. For very bright
scenes, the exposure time is very short and, as the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is increased until the maximum exposure
time is reached. Digital Exposure is the default setting and provides the best image quality for the majority of scenes.
Auto-Iris Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the lens iris depending on the light level at the scene. For this setting, the sensor
exposure time is fixed. Select Auto-Iris if the video shows flickering or rolling bands due to 50 Hz or 60 Hz lighting. Most lighting situations
do not require this setting.
5. Select the Exposure Optimization setting: Normal or Action. These are optimizations of the Digital Exposure control.
Normal: This setting is for very bright scenes and exposure time is very short. As the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is
increased until the maximum exposure time is reached. Normal is the default setting.
Action: This setting operates similar to Normal except the short exposure times are used for both bright and mid-level lighting. This
minimizes the blur in video caused by moving objects. For very low light scenes, Action optimization operates the same as Normal,
increasing the exposure time until the maximum exposure time is reached.
6. Set the Exposure Compensation setting. Move the slider bar to the right to brighten the video, or move it to the left to darken the video. The
exposure compensation range is -100 to 100; the default setting is 0 (zero).

A/V Streams Tab
Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab includes a Video Presets page, a Video
Configuration page, and an Audio Configuration page.
Video Presets
The Video Preset page includes three fully-configured video presets, which include primary and secondary video stream settings for easy setup.
These presets may also be used as a starting point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations vary depending on camera
model.
Video Configuration
The Video Configuration page allows you to customize the compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate of the video streams. The default
names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream. Although each stream can be configured independently, the settings of one
stream can limit the options available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.
NOTE: Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should always be the most resource-intensive of
the streams.
Audio Configuration
The Audio Configuration page allows you to setup the internal audio device or an external audio device. The default setting for Audio is disabled,
which means that no audio is transmitted from the camera. When enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on your system
configuration, images and audio may not be synchronized.
Not all camera models are equipped with an internal audio device. Refer to the specifications for your camera model for information.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are
solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

5. Configure the Compression Standard, Resolution, Image Rate, and Bit Rate settings for the primary stream.
NOTE: The compression standard, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings are dependent on each other. You must first decide the
priority setting before you configure a stream. For example, if you want an image rate of 30 ips, set the image rate before you configure the
other settings.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the Secondary stream.
COMPRESSION STANDARDS
JPEG: A commonly used video compression scheme, also known as MJPEG. JPEG has the least impact on the camera's processor, but it requires
the most bandwidth.
MPEG-4 (available only with 0.5 megapixel model): A full-motion video standard used by most DVD recorders. MPEG-4 is less
processor-intensive than JPEG, but it uses more bandwidth than H.264.
H264: A new version of MPEG-4 compression used in high-definition video players such as Blu-ray™ and HD-DVD. H.264 is the most
processor-intensive, but it requires the least amount of bandwidth.

NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the programmed compression standard and the resolution of the stream.

• Specifications on page 68
BIT RATE
The bit rate is the quality of the video stream (rendered in kilobits per second). The higher the value, the higher the video quality and bandwidth
required.
NOTE: When you change any of the video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the bit rate. If you manually reduce
the bit rate lower than the camera's automatic setting, the image quality might be reduced and the stream selection options might be limited.
I-FRAME INTERVAL
The I-frame interval configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames in the video stream. For example, in a scene where a
door opens and a person walks through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored by the video encoder. The stationary
background that occurs in the previous partial frames is not encoded, because no changes occurred in that part of the scene. The stationary
background is only encoded in the full frames. Partial frames improve video compression rates by reducing the size of the video. As the I-frame
interval increases, the number of partial frames increases between full frames. Higher values are only recommended on networks with high
reliability. This setting is only available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
C2973M-B (1/10) 53
QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES CODE POINT
Quality of Service (QoS) for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a code that allows the network to prioritize the transmission of different
types of data. This setting is only available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
NOTES:
• If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.
• Your network must be configured to use QoS. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware, contact your network administrator.
ENDURA SIGNING
Enabling the Endura Signing feature allows an Endura® system to authenticate video from an Endura recorded stream. This setting is only
available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
ADVANCE SHARPENING
The Advance Sharpening setting enhances picture detail by sharpening the edges in the picture. When this mode is enabled, there is a trade-off
between image quality and the resources required for processing power. The maximum camera resolution and image rate will not be available,
but the edges of the image seem sharper. Only use this setting if you cannot achieve the sharpness level you want by adjusting the digital
processing settings of the camera. The default setting for Advanced Sharpening is Off.

SELECTING THE AUDIO CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
To use audio with the camera you must have an audio device connected to the accessory port located on the back of the camera. Once the device
is connected, audio can only be enabled through the primary stream.
Audio and video may not be synced when viewing and listening to the primary stream through a Web browser. You may experience a
three-second delay in video when viewing the primary stream with audio.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are
solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personality.

GENERAL SETTINGS FOR USERS AND GROUPS
The general settings for user and groups allow you to change the way the camera manages the users and groups settings. These settings can be
managed on a camera-to-camera basis or by using a centralized server to apply changes to multiple cameras.
Figure 35. User and Group Settings Page
The available general settings for users and groups are as follows:
Standalone: The camera manages its users and groups locally. Any changes to users and groups affect only the camera that you are accessing.
Standalone is the default setting.
Node: The camera uses a centralized server for users and groups. In this mode, the users and groups pages are disabled and all management is
done on the central server. Any changes to users and groups affect all cameras connected to the central server.
Mixed: The camera verifies user names and passwords against a central server but manages the group settings locally. This is useful if you
want to use a departmental or corporate server for user names and passwords. In this mode, the settings on the users page are limited, and any
changes to user names and passwords are done on the LDAP server. While changes to user names and passwords affect all cameras connected
to the LDAP server, group permissions must be managed from each camera individually.
NOTE: The Node and Mixed settings are advanced controls. Consult your network administrator to obtain the required information.
