Image Settings
On the Image screen you can adjust several important settings affecting your camera image. These settings affect your camera image as well as your network bandwidth. Figure 1-4 Image Screen
To adjust a setting: Select the desired value from the pull-down list, or Enter it into the text field The setting changes after you select the value or press Tab. Figure 1-5 Image Settings Dialog Box
19
Table 1-1 describes the fields on the Image Settings dialog box. Table 1-1 Field Quality Image Settings Fields Description Your ideal quality setting depends on the minimum image quality and maximum transmission time that you find acceptable. The higher the image quality, the larger the file size and the slower the transmission time.
High Large File size Slow Transmissio n time Fast
Image quality
Low
Small
In a network with plenty of available bandwidth, changing quality does not affect frame rate. Max frame rate Enter a maximum frame rate in frames per second (fps). This is the maximum number of images per second that the camera sends to any one viewer. Note You can also set a bandwidth limit, limiting the total network traffic from the camera. Sharpness Increasing the sharpness value enhances the edges and small features in your camera images. If the edges appear too smooth or blurred, increase the sharpness. If your image seems rippled or noisy, decrease the sharpness. Increasing sharpness works against increasing compression by increasing file sizes. Saturation describes the difference of a color from the gray of the same lightness. Increasing saturation deepens the colors of your images, making reds redder and blues bluer. Decreasing saturation brings the image closer to a grayscale (that is, monochrome, black-and-white) image. Options are: 0.00 to 1.99 When saturation is set to 0, your camera goes into monochrome mode. In this case, all color information is discarded, creating grayscale images. Note Monochrome images compress better and transfer faster than comparable quality color images. In dark scenes, there is often little or no useful color information, so image quality improves with monochrome images.
Saturation
20
Image Settings Fields Description Configure the midtone levels of your image for best viewing. Enter a number (value) into the form field. Enter a number into the text field. If your camera is trained on a scene lit by artificial lighting, setting this value reduces image banding. The North America uses A/C power with a 60 Hertz (Hz) frequency. 50Hz is used in many other countries. A few countries use both frequencies.
Gain Settings
The gain settings affect the brightness of the image. Figure 1-6 Gain Settings Dialog Box
Table 1-2 describes the fields on the Gain Settings dialog box. Table 1-2 Field Gain style Gain Settings Fields Description The autogain algorithm of your camera sets brightness to best display the exposure window. The gain style setting chooses which pixels within the exposure window are used by the autogain algorithm for setting brightness levels. Options are: peakdetect: Uses only the brightest pixels in the exposure window, adjusting automatically for bright pixels. This is a good setting for watching bright areas. darkdetect: Uses only the darkest pixels in the exposure window, adjusting automatically for dark pixels. This is a good setting for outdoor scenes where you want to watch a shaded region. average: Uses all of the pixels in the exposure window This is a good setting for indoor scenes where there are no extremely bright or dark areas to skew the gain calculations. clipaverage: Uses all pixels except for the darkest and brightest pixels. This is a good setting for outdoor scenes where you want to ignore both sky and shadows and to watch a region of intermediate brightness levels. This is also a good setting for interior scenes. custom: An algorithm which is not one of the above. This may be the case if you have custom code in your camera or have made gain style settings with the command line interface.
21
Gain Settings Fields Description Sets the type of shutter response. Options are: optimize speed: Use this setting for fast moving subjects. This setting may cause images to appear grainy in low light conditions. optimize quality: Use this setting for high quality images. This setting may cause images to blur in low light conditions. auto: This setting is ideal when there is adequate light and objects are not moving too fast. fixed exposure: Forces an exposure speed. The list of available exposures may change based on other settings like frame rate, lightgrabber, and resolution.
Autogain
Sets how fast the autogain responds to changing lighting conditions. Options are: locked: Gain is held at the current value slow: Slower speed for outdoor (sunlight) conditions medium: Faster speed for indoor (fixed) conditions fastest: (Default) Fastest possible response
LIGHTGRABBER Enables or disables special processing for low-light images. The 4x setting specifies integration of four frames, twice the low-light correction as the 2x setting which specifies integration of two frames.
Overlays
An overlay is information that is added on top of an image. Figure 1-7 Overlays Dialog Box
Table 1-3 describes the fields on the Overlay Settings dialog box. Table 1-3 Field Timestamp Overlay text Overlay Settings Fields Description Enable or disable a timestamp overlay that appears on your image. Enter a text message (maximum 31 characters) that appears as an overlay on your image. You may use dynamic variables in this field. To use a $ sign, enter $$.) Note The overlay text automatically becomes enabled after you enter text into the overlay text field and then press Tab. To disable the text overlay: clear the text from the overlay text field and then press Tab.
22
Window Screen
The Window screen allows you to: Crop the image Change the exposure window Set up privacy masks Set up motion detection zones Window Screen
Figure 1-8
Crop Tab
Use the Crop tab to personalize the size of your camera image. Cropping involves discarding all but a selected region of interest in the camera image. This smaller image may increase your frame rate. Press: Apply to set your camera to use the crop settings currently shown on the page. Default to remove cropping from your image. Cancel to restore this page's crop settings to the state they were in when you entered the page.
You can also use your mouse to crop (see step 2 on page 25).
23
Exposure Tab
Use the Exposure tab to set the part of the image used for automatic exposure (gain) calculations. Figure 1-9 Exposure Tab
You can select a rectangular region of interest where brightness and color balance are optimized. This is useful if parts of your image are excessively bright or dark (for example, if your image contains large amounts of sky or sunlit windows). However, setting an exposure window may darken or brighten other areas of your image. Click apply to have your settings take effect. For best color balance, use an exposure window containing at least 20,000 pixels200 by 100and try to include some gray or white areas. Figure 1-10 shows the current exposure area outlined in blue. Figure 1-10 Live View with Automatic Exposure Window
In addition to setting the exposure window, you may wish to set the gain style algorithm from the Image Settings Page.
24
Privacy Tab
Use the Privacy tab to cover parts of your camera image with privacy masks. Figure 1-11 Privacy Tab
You can configure up to eight rectangular privacy windows in the image to be masked from view. Initially the dropdown list includes all currently-configured privacy windows plus, at the end of the list, an entry for one un-configured privacy window. After that window is configured, another un-configured privacy window selection is added to the list. To configure a privacy window: 1. 2. Select NEW in the window field. With your mouse, draw a rectangle (outlined in red) in the image screen of the desired size. Click on the point on the image where you want the top-left of the crop window to appear. Drag to where you want the bottom-right of the window, then release the mouse button. Click apply. Note that the window field now shows 1. Repeat step 1 to step 3 for up to eight privacy windows.
3. 4.
To delete the current privacy window, click default. The current privacy window is deleted and all subsequent privacy windows are renumbered downward by one. For example, if window 2 is deleted, window 3 becomes window 2, window 4 becomes window 3, and so on. The number of selections in the selected dropdown also decrease. Click clear privacy windows link to delete all privacy windows. To move or change the size of windows: If there are multiple windows displayed, the selected window has its corners marked with solid squares (see Figure 1-12). Click and drag on a corner or side of the selected window to the desired location, then release the mouse button. Click in the center of a selected window to move the window position without altering its size.

Figure 1-12
Motion Detection
Use the Motion tab to configure motion detection on the camera. Figure 1-13 Window Screen with Motion Detection
The motion detection settings allow you to configure up to eight rectangular windows of the image to be used for motion detection. After you set up the parameters for these areas, go to the Trigger screen to choose what action your camera will take when motion is detected.
26
The motion detection algorithm running on your camera triggers when significant change has occurred to enough pixels in a chosen part of your camera image. The default action is to use all pixels in the image for motion detection. You may change this by configuring one or more windows. To set a motion window: 1. 2. Select a window to set in the window field. The selected window has its corners marked with solid squares. You may type parameters directly into the text boxes for position and size or you may use your mouse to specify a window. If no window is marked: a. b. c. Click on the point on the image where you want the top-left of the window to appear. Drag to where you want the bottom-right of the rectangle. Release the mouse button.
If a window is marked: 0. a. b. c. d. Click on a corner or side of a window to move that corner or side. Drag it to the new desired location Release the mouse button. Clicking in the center of a window to move the position of that window without altering its size. Start a new window by clicking outside the existing window. The click specifies where the top-left of the window appears. Drag to the bottom-right and release the mouse button.

Network Setup
Figure 1-14 Network Screen
Use the Network settings screen to configure how the camera operates during TCP/IP connections. You can adjust your camera's initial configuration settings. Changing a setting immediately sends an activation command to the camera. While the command is being sent, you may not be able to change other settings.
Network Settings Fields Description Specify the name of the camera Specify the IP address of the camera. This will not take effect until the camera is rebooted. Specify the subnet mask, or netmask, that the camera should use. IP networks can be divided into several smaller networks by subnetting. When a network is subnetted, you must specify a subnet mask which tells network devices which smaller network they belong to. Note If the subnet mask is not properly configured, the camera may not be able to communicate with other devices on the network.
29
Network Settings Fields Description Enter the IP address of the host to use as a TCP/IP gateway between networks. The gateway allows communication between devices that are on different networks. Without a correct gateway setting, the camera cannot receive or transmit data from/to devices that are not in the same network address range. Specify the IP address of the external nameserver (if any) the camera uses when it attempts a TCP/IP connection with another host. An external nameserver must be specified for the camera to access an FTP server by using its text-based name. Since network devices can only recognize numeric IP addresses, a nameserver is needed to resolve the correct numeric IP address from a text-based name used in a connection request. Enter the domain name for the network that the camera is on. For example, one might enter mycompany.com as the domain name for your camera. The camera appends this suffix to requests that it sends to the nameserver. Enter the desired web port (the port number of your camera's web server). Options: 0 to 65536 (80 is the default). A camera with a network name of mycam.mycompany.com, and web port 8080, has an URL address of http://mycam.mycompany.com:8080. If its web port is 80, then its url may be abbreviated as http://mycam.mycompany.com.
primary nameserver
domain name
web port
bandwidth limit
Sets the maximum network bandwidth limit in kilobits per second (kbps). Options are: Unlimited means that image streams are delivered at full speed. This is not a recommended setting as an image stream may take up all the bandwidth in your network. 0 is an alternate method of specifying unlimited. A non-zero value restricts your camera to that amount of bandwidth. For example, a value of 64 limits the frame rate of your camera so that it outputs no more than 64 kbps of image data each second.
ethernet mode
Sets the camera ethernet connection mode. Options are: Auto (default) autonegotiates the correct setting with the switch. 100full means full-duplex 100half means half-duplex 10full means 100Mbit 10half means 10 Mbit The setting should match your switch. Caution Be careful when changing this setting as the incorrect value means you will no longer be able to connect to the camera. Changing this value requires a reboot.
30
Email Settings Fields Description The name or IP address of an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server on your camera network. Ensure that it is an SMTP server and that it accepts connections on port 25. Note For your camera to use a text-based name for connection attempts, you must specify a nameserver.
username password
The username for SMTP servers which require a logon. The password for SMTP servers which require a logon.
31
Time Settings Fields Description Select the time zone where your camera is located Adjust the date of your camera, in MM/DD/YY format. Adjust the time of your camera in 24 hour format (HH:MM:SS). Before adjusting the clock time, make sure that you have already selected the appropriate time zone for your camera. The timeserver protocol used by your network. Options are: none means your camera does not obtain its time from the network ntp (default) daytime
timeserver IP address
The IP address of the timeserver on your network (if any). Note Do not enter a DNS name. You may set this to 0.0.0.0. to specify none. Note When the NTP mode (below) is set to passive, entries in this field have no effect.
NTP mode
These items apply only when the timeserver protocol is set to NTP. Options are: passive enables or disables acceptance of incoming time broadcasts sent by an NTP server on the local subnet. broadcast (default) enables or disables your camera sending NTP broadcasts to find a time server on your local subnet. If you have set a timeserver IP address, then that is the timeserver used. In this case, a broadcast is sent only if the specified timeserver fails to respond. both sends out NTP broadcast requests and listens for incoming NTP packets.

Security Setup
Figure 1-17 Security Screen
Setting Passwords
Use the security screen to set up the following passwords: When general password protection is enabled, users (up to 2) must enter the general password to view camera images. When management password protection is enabled, the management user (limited to one) must enter the management password to modify the default camera settings.
The default usernames are: The default username for the General password is login The default username for the Management password is root. Honeywell recommends that you change this password when setting up a new camera.

Passwords Fields
Field
general protection change general password
Description
Enable or disable password protection for your camera. Enter a new general password (up to 7 alphanumeric characters, no spaces). It is recommended that your password contain a combination of numbers and letters to maximize security. Options are: basic sends user names and passwords over the network without secure encoding. It allows logging in by a URL address like http://myusername:mypassword@mycamera.mycompany. com. Basic authentication is less secure since: Passwords submitted with basic authentication can be learned by sniffing internet traffic. Many login attempts can be submitted quickly by URLs. You must close all web browser windows to logout. Otherwise un-authorized users can access your camera from your computer. secure authentication encrypts user names and passwords before they are sent over the network. The MD5 encryption standard and a handshaking protocol ensure security. Secure authentication does not allow users to log on by simply specifying their passwords as part of an URL address. For secure authentication to work, you must enable cookies in your web browser. Note For additional security, Honeywell recommends using secure authentication.
authentication mode
Enter a new management password (up to 7 alphanumeric characters, no spaces). A password consisting of a combination of numbers and letters works to minimize detection. Caution The management password cannot be disabled. Users must enter the management password in order to change camera settings.
Enter the same password as that entered in the change management password field.
34
You can limit access to camera images on weekends or weekdays (or both). Set weekdays or weekends to on or off to allow or deny access to camera images for the selected days. Alternatively, select timer, then specify the periods during which images are accessible. Enter the start and stop times in 24 hour format (hh:mm). For example, 16:00 = 4 pm, 01:00 = 1 am). During offhours, camera images are accessible only to the management user.
Caution
It is important that the camera does not lose power during this process. The camera reboots after a successful update.

Trigger Settings
Figure 1-19 Trigger Settings Screen
Your camera can capture image sequences in response to trigger events. Captured images can be transferred by FTP and/or e-mail. Possible trigger events include: Lapse of periodic intervals Signals from external relay devices (certain models) Motion within the image.
Trigger Settings Fields Description The method by which your camera transfers images in response to a trigger event. Your camera can e-mail individual images, and/or FTP image sequences. Whether detected motion will cause trigger events. When enabled, it is recommended that you also configure motion detection windows within your camera image (see Motion Detection on page 26). Note This item does not apply to all camera models.
motion
external input
When enabled, a signal from an external relay device will cause a trigger event. Note Available on some models only.
36
Trigger Settings Fields Description The time (in seconds) between regular periodic trigger events. 0 means there are no time lapse trigger events. Downsample (shrink) the image. Options are: 1 (1280 x 1024), default 1/2 (640 x 512) 1/4 (320 x 256) 1/8 (160 x 128) For example, selecting 1/4 reduces the image to a fourth its original width and height. Smaller images are processed and transmitted more quickly.
The minimum time in seconds between trigger events. Your camera will not trigger another event until the specified amount of time elapses after the last post-trigger image. The number of images your camera saves from each trigger event. Note Your camera can store only a limited number of trigger event images. This number depends on the size of your images. Cropping or downsampling allows storage of more images. Pre-trigger count plus post-trigger count should not exceed 8. It is recommended that you test (click below the Status bar) to see that you get the desired number of trigger images.
The time, in seconds, between successive pre- and post- trigger images.
