8	Using the IP AutoDome
		The VG4-200, VG4-300, and VG4-500i Series AutoDomes can be ordered with an optional IP
		module that allows the AutoDome to transmit PTZ control commands and images over a TCP/
		IP network. It also allows users to configure the AutoDome camera display settings, camera
		operating settings, and to configure the network parameters.
		The IP AutoDome 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 MPEG-4 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.
8.1	Overview of Features
		The IP module adds the following functionality to an AutoDome system:

		Function	Description

		Video Encoding	The camera uses the H.264 compression standard and ensures that the
			data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be
			adapted to local conditions within wide limits.

		Dual Streaming	Encodes dual data streams simultaneously according to two individually
			customized profiles. This feature creates two (2) data streams per
			camera that can serve different purposes. For example, one (1) data
			stream for local recording and one (1) data stream optimized for
			transmission over the Local Area Network (LAN).

		Multicast	Enables simultaneous, real-time transmission to multiple receivers. The
			network must implement the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols as a
			prerequisite for Multicasting.

		Configuration	Allows configuration for all camera settings from a Web browser on the
			local network (Intranet) or on the Internet. You can also update the
			firmware, load device configurations, store configuration settings, and
			copy these settings from one camera to another.

		Snapshots	Allows you to take and store individual video frames as JPEG images
			from the Web browser interface.

		Backup	Saves video images as a file on a computer’s hard drive from the Web
			browser interface.

		Audio	Switches between Biphase-in to Audio-in (line 2V P-P) microphone.

		Record	Allows configuration for the recording options of the IP module. You can
			record video from the Livepage to a hard drive or you can opt to store up
			to 8 MB of video on the IP module.
