To avoid placing strain upon the electrical connections, arrange the composite cable such that approximately 120mm of the weatherproof connector protrudes out from the smaller plate that will connect to the camera. ‘Secure the mount adaptor to the supporting structure using M8 bolts, washers and Nyloc® type nuts where appropriate. IMPORTANT: Always use sprung washers and Nyloc® nuts in order to significantly reduce the possibility of bolts working loose due to vibration during operation. Cable entry path must be watertight to avoid ingress and build-up of water around the connector. Remove the four hex head bolts from the camera base and push the ‘connector back into the mount adaptor. Offer the camera to the mount adaptor and clip the lanyard onto the lug of the mount adaptor. in addition to being an essential safety device during operation, the lanyard is useful as a temporary hanging point ‘when the camera is being mounted in the inverted position. Catefully note the orientation notches of cable connector and camera socket. Align the notches accordingly and insert the connector onto the socket of the camera base. Twist the connector's retaining ring Unti it fully locks into place. Align the four holes of the mount adaptors with those on the camera base and insert the four hex head bolts, Tighten the bots to approximately 1.6K g/m. Do not over tighten bolts. ( IMPORTANT: Ensure that the lanyard is connected to the appropriate [Ny ‘on the mount adaptor when the camera mounting is complete. Also, double check all bolts for correct positioning and appropriate tightness.Tilt the camera head When mounting upright, the camera head can be cantered to allow it a field of view clear of the pan motor section of the. housing, 1 - Unscrew and withdraw the M5 socket head retaining bolt from the middle of the front of the yoke. 2 - Carefully tip the yoke assembly forward. 3- Re-insert the bolt from the rear of the yoke and tighten to approximately 0.97Kg/m.

If an external RS-485 connection is made this should not be connected to other camera equipment as address clashing may occur. Notices Software Versions. This guide is for use with the Oculus and Aeron PTZ cameras fitted with the HD IP encoder module. The information provided applies to the PTZ firmware versions v1.061 / 1.101 and encoder firmware version v4.0.1.5 and v4.0.5. PTZ configuration OSD. ‘The PTZ camera On Screen Display interface (Menus) are available through the analogue (CVBS) video output. This provides a video signal showing the on-screen text display. This can be employed for initial configuration of the PTZ unit. The OSD text display is not available through the network interface on all models and cannot be viewed through the Web browser GUI or VMS images in these cases. For twin IP encoder products, the OSD menu text is available on the Second (non-HD) IP connection.— User manual 4 System Configuration For initial set-up, the IP camera needs to be configured prior to using it with your network video management system. In most cases, only network configuration will be required. Since not all camera parameters can be controlled via networked video management systems. The initial configuration can be done locally on the IP camera using a laptop directly connected to the device”s network port, or remotely over the network 4.1 Network Configuration By factory default, the Oculus IP is configured with an IP of 192.168.1.100. If you are not using @ DHCP and the fixed IP number has been cleared the camera encoder it will automatically allocate itself an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) address in the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0. For twin-camera and encoder models the second encoder is configured with an IP of 192.168.1.101 It is suggested to always keep the second channel IP number as on above that of the primary output. ‘Both the primary encoder and the secondary encoder can be configured for DHCP allocation of their IP numbers. Advanced device network configuration can be made via the Integrated Configuration Too! (ICT), Contact Silent Sentinel for information on this.— User manual ‘Once the IP information is set, the Silverlight web application served by the Oculus-IP can be launched in your web browser by typing the device's IP address in the location bar. You can start to use your networked video management system for final system configuration or you can configure advanced parameters using the Oculus IP's web based Management paages. 4.2 Using the Web Application Primary (HD) encoder When entering the Web Application, you will be asked a username and password. The default username is “admin”, and password is ‘admin’.

Modifying these may cause loss of function: in the camera system | Itis advised NOT to make changes to this section, * Preview ~ This section allows you to view a thumbnail preview image of the camera's video input. This feature requires that the MJPEG encoder be enabled on the camera, otherwise a placeholder image will be shown indicating "No Video input’. To enable MJPEG video, see sections General and Video Compression below. * General — This section allows you to configure basic settings of the encoder module relating to management of video inputs. © Enable video input ~ This checkbox allows you to enable / disable the input. © Select Input Type ~ Select HD if the PTZ is using the HD 1080P video camera sensor. Select SD if using the Standard definition type module(s). ® Select Sensor (HD mode) ~ Select the appropriate HD camera sensor model connected. Select Custom if you would like to disable any command / control communication between the encoder module and the camera ‘sensor; in this mode the encoder will act as a slave and only process incoming video data.

Let's explore an example to better understand haw each setting should be configured based on scene and behaviour requirements. In our example, we wish to trigger a motion detection event when a vehicle appears within an ‘outdoor scene. In the above scene, we have set the motion detection parameters as follows: ‘+ Region Position (represented by the blue rectangle) was set to the street area where we wish the detection to occur. In our example, the region was set to: 0.35,0,0.81,1.00 * Frame count was set to 4 in order to eliminate any false detections. This means that the motion needs to be observed in at least 4 consecutive frames. + Sensitivity was set to 95. This value is recommended and should not be changed. * On threshold was set to 6% (8). We first estimate that the vehicle in the scene above ‘occupies around 2700 pixels within the image. The Region we selected (in blue) represents approx. 38860 pixels, or 1/3 of the 352x240 image. We can now calculate that the car represents 6.95% (2700/38860) of the Region. We therefore set the motion On threshold to 6% * Off threshold was set to 2% (2). This value is low enough to ensure no more vehicles are in the scene.~ User manual 4.6 JPEG FTP Upload ee ‘The JPEG upload feature can be configured from the web interface, Configuration page, Video In tab, JPEG Image Upioad section: ‘Configuration 2 ‘The configuration parameters are: ‘+ Enabled: Enables or disables the JPEG upload feature, ‘* FTP Server Address: Address of the FTP server, in either IP or DNS form, * FTP Server Port: Port of the FTP server. The default FTP portis 21 FTP Server Folder: Folder on the FTP server where to upload the JPEG images. A value of J" means that images are uploaded to the user’s home folder on the FTP server. A value of ,/test” means that images are uploaded to the subfolder ,test” of the user's home folder on the FTP server. * Usemame: Account's user name used to connected to the FTP server. * Password: Accounts password used fo connect to the FTP server. * Upload Interval: Interval, in seconds, at which JPEG images are uploaded to the FTP server. Default is 60 seconds. Last Images to Keep: The number of images previously uploaded to keep on the FTP server before starting to override old images.~ User manual * Configuration Optimisation: When set to “Upload Optimised’, the JPEG encoder is configured to optimize CPU usage for the JPEG image upload. Otherwise, the configuration of the encoder remains unchanged. The feature also provides one command: * Test/ Trigger Upload: Forces an immediate JPEG image upload to the FTP server using the currently saved configuration. The command then displays the success or failure of the upload, including the reason if the operation fails, 4.6.1 FTP Server Compatibility When connecting to the FTP server, the JPEG Image Upload service uses the username and password provided by the user. If the FTP user account does not require a password, the password can be left blank in the web interface. If the FTP server allows anonymous access, both the usemame and password can be left blank in the web interface. Because the uploaded files are JPEG images, the FTP transfers are done in binary format rather than ASCII format. Itis expected that the network where the video encoders are located is a private network, generally behind a firewall, On the other hand, the FTP server can be either on the same private network or on an external public network. In order to offer the best flexibility in such situations, the FTP transfers use .passive FTP", where all FTP connections are established from the client (the video encoder) to the FTP server. This feature presently does not support transfer over secure FTP. 4.6.2 JPEG image Names When uploading a JPEG image to the FTP server, the name of the file created on the FTP server depends on two factors: the video input number in the encoder as well as the number of images to keep. The file name pattem is as follows: videoinput_{vides putnumber).{imagenumber}.jpg— User manual Ifthe encoder has only one video input, the video input number is 1. Next, if the number of previous images to Keep is 0, new JPEG images will always override the same file: videoinput_1.1.jpg, videoinput_1.1.jpg, vidWeiht IPs, -- the number of previous images to keep is 5, new JPEG images will use @ file name rotation: videoinput_1.1.jpg, videoinput_4.2.jpg, videoinput_1.3.jpg, videoinput_1.4.jpg, videoinput_1.5,jpg, videoinput_1.1,jpg, videoinput_1.2,jpg, 4.6.3. Setup with Multiple Encoders In setups where multiple encoders upload JPEG images to the same FTP server, the encoders will upload JPEG images using the same file names. In order to prevent one video encoder from ‘overriding images from another encoder, one of two simple measures needs to be taken * Inthe configuration on each encoder, you can set a different FTP Server Folder. * On the FTP server, you can create multiple FTP accounts, one for each encoder, and configure them with different home folders. 4.6.4 Streaming - RTSP In addition to the web-browser viewing, the video images can be accessed using RTSP streaming, This functionality if often employed by Video Management System software or video media applications, (e.g. VLC Player). Each camera (if two fitted) has its own RTSP URL. The standard port for RTSP is port 554. ‘The HD images are available at their full resolution from. rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/videoinput_1/n264_1/media.stm The secondary camera, (or plain OSD Menu feed if no additional imager is installed), is available from rtsp://192.168.1.101:554/live.sdp The IP address section shown if for the dafault values.

This selling requires 2 re-boot of the camera to take effect Positioning speed controls the rate the camera moves under operator control and when moving to preset positions. The slowest rate is 1 which is equivalent to 22.5 degrees per second maximum and the fastest rate is 8 which is equivalent to 180 degrees per second maximum. This is the peak rate. Slower rates are available through the zoom dependant speed control and via the settings for the preset points. Low voltage PSU allows for use of 12VDC power from battery systems, adjusting power consumption accordingly. (IR lamp ‘models limited to 13VDC in this mode). Pan limit left and right set limits for the camera travel. The figures are in degrees and the zero point of the camera neads to be included in the sweep of the travel (although it can be the left or right limit). When these values are both set to 0 (zero) then the camera travel is unlimited. Tilt Himit down and tit limit up can be used to limit the tlt travel range. The zero point needs to be included in the range; although it can be the top or bottom limit. Set North sets the current camera pan position to be north. This affects the display of the compass bearing and axis readouts on the telemetry display. Wash duration sets the period for the wash cycle. This is in seconds. Wiper duration sets the period for the wiper cycle. This is in seconds. Heater function allows you to declare whether the optional temperature control device within the camera housing is a heater or a cooler. If ‘Heater’ is chosen, the Heater threshold setting below will represent @ negative Centigrade value, whereas if the ‘Cooler’ setting is selected, the Heater threshold will represent a positive Centigrade value. Heater threshold determines the temperature (0 to 40 Centigrade) at which the optional temperature control device within the camera housing should be activated. The value will either represent a positive or negative Centigrade value depending on whether the temperature control device is a heater (negative) or a cooler (positive).
