3System Information

3.1Overview 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.

3.1.1Progressive 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.

3.1.2Day/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

3.1.3Quad-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.
