System Information
3.1
Overview 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.
3.1.1
Progressive 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.
3.1.2
True Day/Night function
In night mode, the camera enhances low light viewing by
switching the IR (infrared) filter out of the optical path and
providing a monochrome image. The camera can switch from
color to monochrome mode automatically by sensing the
illumination level, manually via the alarm input, or remotely via a
web browser.
3.1.3
Multiple streams
Multiple streams enable the camera to deliver several H.264
streams together with an M-JPEG stream. These streams
facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording options as
well as integration with third-party video management systems.
3.1.4
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
The camera complies to the ONVIF standard which means that
it is easier to install and integrate into larger systems. The
ONVIF standard is a global standard for the interface of network
video products.
