Operation
Using the AUTODOME Camera
The AUTODOME 7000 Series transmits PTZ control commands and images over a TCP/IP
network. It also allows users to configure the camera display settings, camera operating
settings, and to configure the network parameters.
The camera incorporates a network video server in the IP module. The primary function of the
server is to encode video and control data for transmission over a TCP/IP network. With its H.
264 encoding, it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote access to digital video
recorders and multiplexers. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV
systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single
camera can be simultaneously received on several receivers.
LIVEPAGE
Once the connection is established, the Web browser displays the LIVEPAGE. It shows the
live video image on the right of the browser window. Depending on the configuration, various
text overlays may be visible on the live video image.
Other information may be shown next to live video image on the LIVEPAGE. The display
depends on the settings on the LIVEPAGE Configuration page (see the AUTODOME 7000
Series online help).
Display Stamping
Various overlays or “stamps” in the video image provide important status information. The
overlays provide the following information:
Decoding error. The frame might show artifacts due to decoding errors. If subsequent
frames reference this corrupted frame, they might also show decoding errors as well
but won’t be marked with the “decoding error” icon.
Alarm flag set on media item
Communication error. Any kind of communication error is visualized by this icon.
Cause can be a connection failure to the storage medium, a protocol violation with a
sub component or simply a timeout. An automatic reconnection procedure is started
in the background in order to recover from this error.
Gap; no video recorded
Watermarking not valid
Watermarking flag set on media item

Discovery of storage not completed. If the information about recorded video is not
cached, a discovery procedure is started in order find all recorded video. During this
time, the “discovery” symbol is shown. While discovery is executed, gaps might be
shown in places which the discovery has not yet reached. The gap will automatically
be replaced by the true video, as soon as the correct information is available.
