NOTE: User can specify only 5 intervals for each day of the week.
Chapter 7. SETTING: Advanced Pic. 7.20 IMPORTANT: If use input alarm contacts together with output alarm contacts, you need to connect them to separate power sources. If the contacts are connected to the same power source, they may work incorrectly. For example, it may cause false triggering. 7.8. Alarm Buffer This feature allows setting length of files that are recorded when the connection is lost for their further sending to FTP (network storage) or via e-mail.
Chapter 7. SETTING: Advanced Pic. 7.21 Video mode: shows the selected video format. Recording capacity: shows maximum record time. Pre-alarm period: maximum time interval for recording before the connection is lost. Post-alarm period: maximum time interval for recording until the connection is restored. Recording time: allows you to set a record time. Pre-alarm period: time interval for recording before the connection is lost.
Chapter 7. SETTING: Advanced Pic. 7.22 Threshold: allows adjusting the motion detection threshold for each of the areas. The closer the slider to the right position, the more the image must change to activate the motion detection. Sensitivity: allows adjusting the motion detection sensitivity for each of the areas. The closer the slider to the right position, the more the sensor is sensitive. Motion detection 1: check this box to enable this area. Motion detection 2: check this box to enable this area.
Chapter 7. SETTING: Advanced 7.10. System Log The system log contains the changes of camera parameters as well as the events. The entries are added automatically after the camera is turned on (Pic. 7.23). Pic. 7.23 Enable remote log: allows you to send information from the system log to a remote server. Server name: type the remote server name or IP address. Server port: type a port value to access the server (the default value is 514). Current log: this field contains system log entries.
Appendix Appendix Appendix A. Bitrate Values The tables below help you to estimate bitrate, considering the quality level and frames per second. See the information below to choose optimal parameters for your bandwidth. For example, if you connect to the Internet over ADSL 256 kbps / 2 Mbps, the optimal solution is to select the standard quality, 640х480 resolution and 256 kbps bitrate. A.1.

Appendix Appendix C. Requests for Images from IP Camera. This appendix contains standard request for images from IP camera. 1. http://: - provides access to IP camera, http port means camera HTTP port, the default value is 80, means camera IP address, the default value is 192.168.0.99. If the default values are used, the request is: http://192.168.0.99. 2. http://:/index.2.
Appendix 7. http://:< port>/video.mp4 – request for MPEG4 video, port means camera RTSP port, the default value is 554, means camera IP address, the default value is 192.168.0.99. If the default values are used, the request is: rtsp://192.168.0.99:554/video.mp4 8. http://:< port>/video.mjpg - request for MJPEG video, port means camera RTSP port, the default value is 554, means camera IP address, the default value is 192.168.0.99.

Appendix Appendix F. Glossary 3GP (3GPP file format) is a multimedia container format defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for 3G UMTS multimedia services. It is used on 3G mobile phones but can also be played on some 2G and 4G phones. ActiveX is a standard that enables software components to interact with one another in a networked environment, regardless of the language(s) used to create them.
Appendix CCD (Charged Coupled Device). This light-sensitive image device used in many digital cameras is a large integrated circuit that contains hundreds of thousands of photo-sites (pixels) that convert light energy into electronic signals. Its size is measured diagonally and can be 1/4", 1/3", 1/2" or 2/3". CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a specification for communication between a web server and other (CGI) programs.
Appendix Ethernet is the most widely installed local area network technology. An Ethernet LAN typically uses special grades of twisted pair wires. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T10, which provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps respectively. Factory default settings are the settings that originally applied for a device when it was first delivered from the factory.
Appendix to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway, and a switch, which furnishes the actual path in and out of the gateway for a given packet. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the web. The HTTP protocol runs on top of the TCP/IP suite of protocols.
Appendix JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group).Together with the GIF file format, JPEG is an image file type commonly used on the web. A JPEG image is a bitmap, and usually has the file extension ‘.jpg’ or “.jpeg.” When creating a JPEG image, it is possible to configure the level of compression to use. As the lowest compression (i.e. the highest quality) results in the largest file, there is a trade-off between image quality and file size. kbit/s (kilobits per second) is a measure of the bit rate, i.e.
Appendix PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is an analog color encoding system used in television systems in Europe and in many other parts of the world. PAL defines the video signal using 625 TV lines per frame, at a refresh rate equal to 25 frames per second. Power over Ethernet or PoE provides power to a network device via the same cable as used for the network connection.
Appendix SMTP authentication is an extension of SMTP, whereby the client is required to log into the mail server before or during the sending of email. It can be used to allow legitimate users to send email while denying the service to unauthorized users, such as spammers. SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security). These two protocols (SSL is succeeded by TLS) are cryptographic protocols that provide secure communication on a network. SSL is commonly used over HTTP to form HTTPS, as used e.g.
Appendix computers, printers, Internet gateways, Wi-Fi access points and mobile devices to seamlessly discover each other's presence on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment. Uniform Resource Locator or Unified Resource Locator (URL) is a character string that specifies where a known resource is available on the Internet and the mechanism for retrieving it.
