VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION

FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER SELECTED OPTIONS
Pleco 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,  educing 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.

1.2 Connection
1.2.1 Default IP address

The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.0.20 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0. When setting default IP address of 192.168.0.20 the camera will check to see if that address is  already in use and will bump the last octet of the address by 1 if it is. The bump last octet of IP Address by 1 will continue until an unused IP address is found.
However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit would obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you don’t need to change the  camera’s IP address. The factory default is DHCP On and 192.168.0.20 assignment only occurs when camera is set for DHCP but a DHCP server does not respond to request for an IP address.

1.2.2 Connecting From a Computer & Viewing Preparation
1.2.2.1 Using Pleco Device Utility Software to Get Camera’s IP Address
Pleco Device Utility software is a utility program that helps users to manage and configure the camera. Use the utility to find the IP address since the default option is to  obtain an IP address via DHCP and therefore the IP address will NOT be known. Steps to get the utility program running are listed below.

1. Finish installing the Device Utility to the computer according to the installation instructions.
2.  Log in to the Device Utility by entering the camera’s User name and Password. In the window, enter the previously created user name and password, then click Enter button to log in.

6. (Optional) Provide the addresses of DNS servers that are not configured automatically in the Manual DNS Servers box.
7. (Optional) Provide the addresses of gateways that are not configured automatically in the Manual Gateways box.

NOTES:

• The device will not accept multicast, localhost, or undefined IPv6 addresses.
• Link-local addresses are not supported for DNS.
• Manually specified DNS servers supersede automatically discovered DNS servers.
• Manually specified DNS servers are not validated by the device; verify any manually specified DNS servers before saving IPv6 settings.
• Manually specified gateways must be on the same network as the devices’ IPv6 addresses. Behavior for a gateway that is not on the same network as the device’s IPv6 addresses is undefined.
• Some video management systems (VMS), including Pleco VMS systems, do not support connections to cameras and encoders over IPv6.

2.2.2.2 Users & Security

Selecting “Closed Authentication” will request video clients to conform to Pleco API (Application Programming Interface) protocol in order to access to the camera, while  selecting “Open Authentication” will make API protocol of the camera fully open to various intrusions, which is not suggested due to security concerns.
• RTSP/JPEG
Selecting “Require Authentication” will request video clients to conform to RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) or JPEG protocol in order to access to the camera, while  selecting “Open Authentication” will make RTSP/JPEG protocol of the camera fully open to various intrusions, which is not suggested due to security concerns.
2.2.2.3 TLS
To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide several security levels that can be adjusted for sites that use TLS technology to transmit data. TLS encrypts  communications, making it difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.
TLS 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.

TLS Configuration
Select one of the following modes:

•   Required: A signed Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate must be installed, and a secure URL that begins with the protocol name “https:” must be used to access  the camera. Sensitive data is always encrypted during transmission. A URL that begins with the “http:” protocol rather than the “https:” protocol will be redirected to the  secure URL automatically.
• Optional: A signed TLS certificate must be installed, but a secure URL that begins with the protocol name “https:” is optional when accessing the camera. You can also  access the camera using a standard URL with the “http:” protocol, but sensitive data is not encrypted during transmission. To ensure that sensitive data is encrypted, you  must use a secure URL with the “https:” protocol.
• Disabled (default) : Turns off access to the Web client through TLS. Sensitive data will not be encrypted during transmission.

NOTE: If the TLS mode is set to disabled, you cannot access the camera using a URL that begins with an “https:” protocol.
Your Web browser displays an error message if you do not type the camera URL correctly.
Refer to the following sections for more information:

2.2.3.2 Exposure
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 Exposure and Day/ Night settings.

Exposure

• Priority Preset
  Select Motion or Low Noise as the exposure priority. The Motion setting increases exposure time to reduce motion blurring in low light. The Low Noise setting  decreases exposure time and adjusts frame rate for improved noise reduction in low light scenes.

• Flicker Correction
  Flickering by fluorescent light can be reduced by selecting “50Hz” if the power frequency is 50Hz, “60Hz”, if 60Hz.

• Manual
  Manual is a mode that allows the user to manually control both gain value and shutter speed. Selecting a smaller value like 1/10000 provides the fastest shutter speed and  vice versa. The larger the value, the more intensity of lights come into the camera and vice versa. It is recommended for an experienced administrator to adopt this mode.

Basic Setting
• BLC
Select an area ranging from Upper, Lower, Central 1/3rd, Central 1/6th, Left, and Right for Backlight Compensation.
Backlight Compensation is a function that sets the brightness of a selected area to an optimal level. This function is necessary when an auto iris lens tends to close quickly due to an intense light coming from the back of object in the area  wished to view, resulting in the area being too dark and difficult to see. In this case, users may set the area corresponding to the portion they wish to see. 

• DC Iris Control
DC Iris Control, driven by electric currents, is one of the auto iris modes that helps the surveillance camera to automatically adjust its iris opening, for better adaptation to  environments with constant changes in light levels. There are2 options below for selection:

1. Auto: Iris opening will alter itself in accordance with the changing light levels within the applied environment to present a better image quality.
2. Full: Iris opening will be kept within the maximum value regardless of light levels in environment.
   NOTE: The DC Iris Control function is available in DC Iris equipped models only.

• True WDR
Select On to enable True WDR. This technology is intended to provide a clear image even under the backlight circumstance where intensity of illumination can vary  excessively; namely both extreme bright and dark areas exist simultaneously in the field of view. True WDR is a sensor-based technology that achieves proper exposure levels  by capturing short and long exposures individually and combining them into a single frame to render a superior detail of image quality. Note that when True WDR is enabled,  the maximum frame rate will be forcibly decreased to 30fps if it was selected above 30fps originally. NOTE: True WDR is only possible when the Exposure Priority setting is set to Motion.

Day/Night
The Day Night Auto mode setting automatically controls the IR cut filter depending on the Transition Level and Transition Detect
Time settings.
Auto

1. Transition Level: Determines when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white). Select the “Lighter” transition level setting if you want the  camera to change modes at a high lux setting. Use the “Default” setting for normal day/night operation. Use the “Darker” transition level to change modes at a low lux setting.
   TABLE 2-1. LUX TRANSITION POINTS FOR INCANDESCENT LIGHTING** Transition Level Setting| Day to Night Transition Point**
   ---|---
   Lighter| 10 lux
   Default| 2 lux
   Darker| 1 lux

Check the IR Illumination box to enable IR Illumination.
NOTE: The IR Illumination function is available in IR equipped models only.

2. Transition Detect Time (sec): Controls the length of time the camera is exposed to a light level before it changes to color or black-white mode.
   This setting is useful for dark scenes where a bright light is momentarily introduced in the scene (for example, when a car with its headlights turned on passes the camera scene).

• Manual

1. Day: If the Day mode is selected, the camera is forced to stay in Day mode all day.
2. Night: If the Night mode is selected, the camera is forced to stay in Night mode all day.
3. Night w/IR Illumination: If the Night w/IR Illumination mode is selected, the camera is forced to stay in Night w/IR Illumination mode all day with IR illumination on.  A Slider for adjustment to IR Level ranging from 10 (The Lowest) to 100 (The Highest) appears beneath when Night w/IR Illumination mode is selected. In  addition, when Night w/IR Illumination mode is selected, On-top LED function will appear allowing user to turn the top LED On or Off for better image quality.
   NOTE: The IR Illumination function is available in IR equipped models only.
   NOTE: On-top LED selection is only supported by Wedge models. It is recommended to disable the On-top LED if the tilt angle is lower than 30°, to avoid light reflection when IR is On.

Lens Type
Select a lens type corresponding to mounted lens to perform the advantages from different iris controls. It is noticeable that the previous iris control mode will vary in accordance with the option selected here.
NOTE: Lens Type selection is only supported by Box models.

• None Iris
  When the mounted lens does not support either DC Iris or P Iris functionalities. This option is the entry selection for common lens type without advanced iris control mode.

• DC Iris
  Once DC Iris is selected, the DC Iris Control above will appear for iris adjustment.

• P Iris
  It is required to choose a compatible lens model from the dropdown menu once P Iris is selected. The P Iris Control above will appear for adjustment correspondingly.  Note that full P Iris functionalities can take effect only when supported lens I mounted.

2.2.3.3 Focus
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 Restore Settings to Defaults.

Focus
• Auto Focus

1. Temperature Change Refocus: The camera is programmed to run a quick automatic focus sequence when the internal temperature sensor of the camera detects an  environmental temperature change of 41°F (5°C). This focus sequence adjusts the center focal point of the scene to maintain optimal focus. The default setting is Off;  select On to turn on this setting.

2. Day/Night Switch Refocus: The default setting for the Day/Night Switch Refocus is Off. Select On if the camera’s focal length is greater than 25 mm or the night scene  uses mostly IR lighting. The best method to determine if the day/night refocus should be enabled is to test the camera with the daytime light conditions, and then test it  again with the nighttime light conditions.
   When enabled On this setting refocuses the camera when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white) or vice versa. For example, if the  camera changes from day mode to night mode, the imager automatically adjusts the back focus for the change in light.

3. If required, use one of the following buttons to adjust the focus:
   • Full Range Auto-Focus: The camera starts a full-range search to find the optimal focal point for the scene.

• NOTE: Supports 1MP Model only.
  NOTE:** Supports 2MP Model only.
  * NOTE: Supports 3MP Model only.
  ** NOTE: Supports 5MP Model only.

• Rate Control
The rate control setting determines the bit rate and quality of each frame in the video stream.

• CBR: The constant bit rate (CBR) streams video at a fixed number of bits per second. CBR uses the full capacity of the bit rate setting for scenes with or without motion.  Video is always streamed at the user bit rate setting. Adjust the CBR Bit Rate slider that appears when CBR is selected to the optimal fixed number of bits per second.

• CVBR: The constrained variable bit rate (CVBR) provides high-quality video and long recording time of variable bit rate while limiting variations in recording capacity  consumption. Adjust the Maximum Bit Rate slider that appears when CVBR is selected to the optimal bit rate for your configuration.

• Image Rate
  The image rate is the number of images per second (is) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates are 30, 25, 20, 16.67, 15, 12.5, 12, 10, 7.5, 5, 3, 2, and 1.
  NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the programmed compression standard and the resolution of the stream.

• GOP Length
  Select the GOP Length from 1 to 60. The upper limit depends on the selected image rate. Recovery of the lost frames will be more difficult as the value gets bigger.  Smaller values will increase the bit rate and network bandwidth demands. This setting is only available with H264 and H265.

• Qu’s (DSCP) Codepoint
  Quality of Service (Qu’s) 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 H264 and H265.

NOTES:

1. If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.
2. Your network must be configured to use Qi’s. If you are unsure if your network is Qu’s-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 H264 and H265.
• Profile
The profile defines the subset of bit stream features in an H.264 and H265 streams, including color reproduction and additional video compression. It is important that the  selected profile is compatible with the recording device so that a stream can be decoded and viewed.

1. High: A complex profile with a high compression ratio. This is the primary profile for high-definition television applications; for example this is the profile adopted for  Blu-ray and HD-DVD. The high profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.
2. M a in: An intermediate profile with a medium compression ratio. Main is the default profile setting. This profile is compatible with most recorders and uses fewer bits to  compress video than the baseline profile; however, it uses more bits than the high profile. The main profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.
3. Baseline: A fairly basic profile that is almost compatible with an array of applications.

2.2.4.2 Audio Configuration
The Audio Configuration page allows you to setup the 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.
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.

Audio Device
Select which audio source will be in use from the following three options.

• Auto: Selecting Auto allows the device to automatically detect available audio source, prioritizing Line In.

• Microphone In: Sound is received via audio built-in microphone in source capable of processing both analog and digital data.

• Line In: Sound is received via audio line in source.
  NOTE: Audio Device feature for selecting audio source is only supported by indoor dome models. All other models only audio source is Line In.
  Audio In

2.2.4.3 Local Recording
Local Recording enables users to record and save video files locally on the SD card inserted, instead of recording and saving them over the network that will occupy a huge  portion of memory and bandwidth. Check to enable this type of recording. Note that once the card is full, the oldest and previously-recorded video files on the card will be  overwritten when the option “Enable Continuous Recording” is checked.

2.2.4.4 RTP Settings
Multicast
Here a user can configure multicast RTP streams. RTP is a common way of transmitting and synchronizing surveillance system video and audio streams over RTSP session.  Multicast provides the most efficient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of clients viewing simultaneously.

Primary Video Stream

• Address: Set the multicast address for RTP video streaming.
• Port: Set the multicast port number for RTP video streaming to an even number in the range 1024 to 65534. To disable the port set value to 0.
• Time to Live (TTL): Set the effective scope of multicast distribution for RTP video streaming between 1 and 255. TTL is a mechanism that limits the lifespan of data in a  computer or network. It is implemented by having a counter or timestamp attached or embedded in the data in order to ensure that data is discarded once the correct  time is reached. TTL counter decrements each time the signal pass through a router, so when the value reaches 0, the signal can no longer be distributed. For example, if  TTL is set to [1], multicast distribution is confined to the local segment only and cannot be distributed by the router.
• Always Multicast this stream: Check this box to start on-demand multicast RTP video stream without opening a new RTSP session.

Secondary Video Stream
Repeat Primary Video Stream setting steps for the Secondary Stream settings.
Tertiary Video Stream
Repeat Primary Video Stream setting steps for the Tertiary Stream settings.
Audio Stream

2.2.4.5 Pelco Smart Compression
The Pleco Smart Compression features the brilliantly efficient stream compression technology to not only economically exert leverage between different regions and  compression levels, but also effectively reduce the average bit rate to level down the overall bandwidth exploitation. Refer to the following section for elaborate descriptions.

Smart Compression Level
Smart Compression swiftly identifies dynamic motions occurred within a scene and retains its details with clear quality, whereas the rest areas, e.g. static background, will be  imposed on higher compression level, thus economically decreasing bandwidth wielding on less important things and still keeping the dynamic motions details for future  forensic purpose. The intensity for Smart Compression can be defined by the different levels options. Select Off will simply disable this function. Advanced Settings
Enable Dynamic GOP Length: Smart Compression allows user to enable Dynamic GOP Length, which results in a significant bit rate reduction while keeping essentially the  same video quality. Dynamic GOP achieves this feat by dynamically adjusting the interval between I-frames according to amount of motion in the scene. Hence, when in a  scene there is limited or no motion; fewer I-frames will be used.
2.2.5 Event Source
Use the Events tab to configure camera events detections and the following handlers. Events detections are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the device how to  react when a specific event occurs. Event handlers are the actions that the device takes when an event occurs. For example, an event source can be configured to alarm an  operator via sending email notification if a motion occurs within the predefined camera’s coverage.
2.2.5.1 Alarm Source
