Megapixel Cameras and Surveillance Software User Manual

MP8D is a quad-sensor 8-megapixel panoramic camera consisting of four 2-megapixel sensors and operating at up to 22 FPS per camera.

All cameras are equipped with LAN connector and can deliver image data at a maximum data rate of up to 55 Mbps. Images are sent over the network in a compressed Motion JPEG format using TFTP protocol.

All cameras feature:

•Automatic exposure (AE) and Gain (AGC) control

•Automatic backlight compensation

•Automatic multi-matrix white balance

•50/60Hz selectable flicker control

•Electronic Zoom, Pan and Tilt (PTZ)

•Programmable brightness, saturation, gamma, sharpness, windowing and decimation

•Simultaneous delivery of full-field view and zoomed images at video frame rate

•Electronic image rotation by 180 degrees

•On board motion detection (except MP5 and MP8D: subject to change)

•Optional auto iris

Connectors

MP2, MP3DN, and MP5 have the following connectors located on the rear side of the camera housing:

•LAN connector, accepting a network UTP or ScTP cable carrying 100 Base-T. The LAN connector also accepts power-over-Ethernet

•DC jack, accepting 9V-12V DC supply

•Optionally, a DC auto-iris connector. MP3DN does not support auto-iris and does not have this connector

Power

Power for MP2, MP3DN, and MP5 can be supplied as follows:

•Via DC jack, 9V-12V. For power ratings see below. The center contact in the power connector is positive.

•Via LAN connector, 48V DC over spare wires or over data pairs. The cameras are compliant with IEEE 802.saf. The polarity is arbitrary. For a list of recommended PoE switches. (See “Network Switches and Routers”)

Power consumption will vary depending on the mode of operation. The maximum power consumption takes place when the camera is polled at full frame rate and runs at full resolution. The maximum power consumption is 3.6 Watts for MP2; 4.5 Watts for MP3DN and MP5; and 8 Watts for MP8D.

Housing and Mounting

All camera models feature a durable aluminum housing that minimizes fire hazards. The housing is not hermetically sealed. The ambient temperature should be maintained between 0ºC and 50ºC. The cameras are not to be used outdoors without appropriate protective enclosures.

Cameras are mounted using a ¼” x 20 threaded hole at the bottom of the housing. When mounting the camera make sure the screw that goes into the hole is short, ¼” or less, and does not touch the camera board.

The cameras are to be installed according to the applicable code. The mounting means should be adequate for mounting a 1 lb camera (except MP8D that weighs 4lbs)

Network Cabling

Category 5 cabling or better is recommended. All network cabling must be installed according to applicable codes and regulations.
