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).
3.1.3 Wide dynamic range
A unique combination of 20-bit digital video processing that
enhances sensitivity and 2X-Dynamic which extends the
dynamic range, provides a sharper, more detailed image with
outstanding accuracy in color reproduction. The 20-bit digital
signal is automatically processed to optimally capture the detail
in both the high and low light areas of the scene
simultaneously, maximizing the information visible in the
picture.
