3 System Information
3.1 Overview of functions
The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary
function is to encode video and control data for transmission
over an IP network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited
for IP communication and for remote access to digital video
recorders and IP systems. 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.
3.1.1 Progressive scan
The camera captures and processes progressively scanned
images. When there is fast motion in a scene, progressively
scanned images are generally sharper than interlaced images.
3.1.2 Day/Night function
The Day/Night function provides enhanced night viewing by
increasing the IR sensitivity. The motorized IR filter can be
removed in low-light or IR illuminated applications. The IR filter
switches from color to monochrome automatically by sensing
the illumination level. In auto switching mode the camera
prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images without
motion blur) or color (the camera gives color pictures as long as
the light level permits). For reliable Day/Night switching with an
external IR illuminator, synchronize the camera with the IR
illuminator using an alarm input port
3.1.3 Quad-streaming
Quad-streaming enables the camera to deliver three H.264
streams (a 720p HD stream, a downscaled resolution stream,
and a HD I-frame only stream) together with an M-JPEG stream.
These four streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and
recording options as well as integration with third-party video
management systems.
