    Camera Name
    [Camera Name] 
    Be sure to enter [Camera Name (alphanumeric 
    characters)].
    Up to 15 ASCII characters (spaces and printable 
    characters) may be used for [Camera Name 
    (alphanumeric characters)]. 
    Note
     The camera name set here will be shown when the camera is 
    registered for use with included RM-Lite. 
    Initial Camera Settings(1) [AE Mode], [Slow Shutter], [Shutter Speed] 
    Set the exposure control and shutter speed for the 
    camera startup. 
    [AE Mode] 
    [Auto] 
    The exposure is controlled automatically. 
    [Auto (Flickerless)] 
    In this mode, image flickers caused by fluorescent 
    lights, etc., can be reduced. The shutter speed is 
    automatically adjusted according to the brightness 
    of the environment in which the camera is used.
    [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] 
    In this mode, a desired shutter speed can be 
    specified. 
    [Slow Shutter] 
    Slow shutter can be used only if [Auto] is selected in 
    [AE Mode]. 
    Set the maximum slow shutter time to be used when 
    in auto exposure mode when capturing video in a 
    dark place. Select [Disable], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4] or 
    [1/2]. As slower shutter speed generates residual 
    images when capturing a moving subject, select an 
    appropriate time according to the capture conditions. 
    [Shutter Speed] 
    Shutter speed can be used only if [Auto (Shutter-priority 
    AE)] is selected in [AE  Mode]. 
    Select a desired shutter speed from the 16 levels from 
    [1/2] to [1/16000]. When capturing a moving subject, 
    selecting a higher shutter speed can reduce blurry image 
    capture. 
    (2) [Exposure Compensation] 
    The exposure compensation when the camera starts 
    can be set in the range of [-4 (Dark)] to [4 (Bright)]. To 
    brighten the image, set a positive value. To darken the 
    image, set a negative value. 
    (3) [Metering Mode] 
    Set the metering mode when the camera starts. 
    [Center-Weighted] 
    The entire screen is metered by focusing on the 
    center of the screen. 
    Even when slightly darker/brighter areas are present 
    on the periphery of the screen, an appropriate 
    exposure can be achieved for the subject near the 
    center. 
    Use this mode if the subject is positioned near the 
    center of the screen. 
    [Camera] Setting Initial Camera Settings and External Device Name
    The following can be set here. 
     Camera Name
    Enter the name of the camera. The camera name 
    is required for use with RM-Lite.

    Set the external input device name and external 
    output device name.  
    						
    							52
    [Average] 
    The entire screen is metered by averaging. 
    A stable exposure can be achieved even in a 
    capture environment where there are notable 
    brightness differences within the screen. 
    Use this mode to stabilize the exposure in locations 
    where vehicles or people are moving. 
    [Spot] 
    The center of the screen is metered. 
    An appropriate exposure can be achieved for the 
    subject at the center of the screen regardless of the 
    brightness/darkness on the periphery of the screen. 
    Use this mode if you want to adjust the exposure to 
    the center of the screen because the subject is 
    receiving a spotlight or backlight, etc. 
    (4) [Focus Mode]
    Set the focus mode when camera starts. 
    [Auto] 
    Automatically brings the subject into focus. Normally 
    [Auto] is selected. 
    [Fixed at infinity] 
    The focus can be fixed to near infinity. 
    (5) [Smart Shade Control] 
    Select [Disable] or one of the 7 levels from [1 (Mild)] to 
    [7 (Strong)] for smart shade control at the camera 
    startup.

    light source. Enter a value from 0 to 1023 for both 
    the [R Gain] and [B Gain]. 
    [Daylight Fluorescent] 
    Select this option to capture video under daylight 
    fluorescent lighting. 
    [White Fluorescent] 
    Select this option to capture video under daylight 
    fluorescent or white fluorescent lighting. 
    [Warm Fluorescent] 
    Select this option to capture video under warm 
    fluorescent lighting. 
    [Mercury Lamp] 
    Select this option to capture video under mercury 
    lamps. 
    [Sodium Lamp] 
    Select this option to capture video under orange 
    sodium lamps. 
    [Halogen Lamp] Select this option to capture video under halogen 
    lamps or incandescent bulbs. 
    Note
     See “Subjects Difficult to Focus On” (p. 38).
     Focus ranges (rough guide) are shown in the following table 
    according to the settings of [Day/Night] (p. 53), etc.
    * When using an infrared lamp, the camera may be out of focus.
    Important
     The initial camera settings (1) to (6) define the defaults that 
    apply when the camera is started. Setting changes will be 
    reflected only after the camera is reconnected or rebooted. 
    Specify the settings used in the actual operating environment 
    from the Admin Viewer (p. 137).
     If the subject is a traffic signal or electronic scoreboard, etc., 
    the captured image may flicker. 
    In this case, try changing the [AE Mode] setting to [Auto 
    (Shutter-priority AE)] and selecting a shutter speed lower 
    than 1/100 to see if the problem improves.
     Setting a slow shutter speed may make it impossible for 
    intelligent functions to work correctly. Select a shutter speed 
    that suits the capture conditions and purpose.
    
     In conditions where an outdoor scene is captured 
    from an indoor location through a glass window, the camera 
    may focus on the glass surface if there is dust or water there. 
    Install the camera at the shortest possible distance from the 
    glass surface.

    Image stabilizer has the effect of correcting blurry 
    images. Try [On2] if the image is still blurry after 
    selecting [On1]. 
    If you have selected [On1] or [On2] as the image 
    stabilizer setting, the viewing angle will be smaller and 
    the image more coarse than when [Disable] is 
    selected. This is not a malfunction. 
    (3) [AGC Limit]
    Select one of 5 levels from 1 to 5 to automatically set 
    the upper gain limit. The greater the value, the higher 
    the sensitivity becomes. If you do not want to use the 
    automatic gain adjustment, select [OFF]. Setting the 
    [AGC Limit] allows you to record with reduced noise 
    when recording in low light conditions.Day/Night

    switching conditions. 
    (2) [Switching Brightness] 
    Set the brightness at which Day Mode and Night 
    Mode will be switched when [Auto] is selected in 
    [Mode]. Select [Darker], [Slightly Darker], [Standard], 
    [Slightly Brighter] or [Brighter]. Select [Darker] if you 
    want to capture video in color as much as possible. 
    Select [Brighter] to reduce noise. Note that this mode 
    switches to black & white sooner. 
    (3) [Response (sec.)] 
    Set the time in seconds needed for judgment on 
    switching between Day Mode and Night Mode when 
    [Auto] is selected in [Mode]. Select [60], [30], [20], 
    [10] or [5]. 
    The mode will switch between Day Mode and Night 
    Mode if brightness remains above or below the level 
    set in (2) for the number of seconds specified. 
    Select [30] or [60] if brightness changes frequently, 
    such as when a light source passes in front of the 
    camera. Select [5] or [10] if change in brightness is

    possible to switch Day/Night Mode via settings in [Setting 
    Page] > [Event] > [External Device Input] (p. 65) or [Event] > 
    [Timer] (p. 66).
     When [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] are switched, the image 
    may not focus correctly depending on the brightness.
     If [Day/Night] is set to [Auto], the infrared cutoff filter may 
    move several times while the mode is switching between 
    [Day Mode] and [Night Mode]. Pan, tilt, zoom and manual 
    focus will not work during this period.

    (4) [Multicast Port]
    Set the multicast port number for RTP streaming to an 
    even number in the range 1024 to 65534.
    To disable Multicast, set to [0].
    (5) [Multicast TTL]
    Set the effective scope of multicast distribution for 
    RTP streaming between 0 and 255.
    To disable Multicast, set to [0].
    The TTL (Time To Live), representing the effective 
    scope of multicast distribution, is decremented each 
    time the signal passes through a router. When the 
    value reaches 0, the signal can no longer be 
    distributed. For example, if TTL is set to [1], multicast 
    distribution is confined to the local segment only and 
    cannot be distributed by the router.
    (6) [Audio Transmission]
    Set RTP streaming audio transmission to [Disable] or 
    [Enable].
    [RTP]
    RTP Server, Audio Multicast and RTP Streaming
    The following can be set here.
    Server
    Enable RTP, and set the RTSP authentication 
    method and port number.
     Audio Multicast
    Make settings for multicast audio transmission.
    Streaming 1 to 5
    Make settings for RTP streaming of video, 
    multicasting, and audio transmission.

    Note
     RTP stream URL
    rtsp://IP_address:port_number/rtpstream/config1(~5)=r|u|m
    [=r|u|m] is optional and can be omitted. If specified, specify 
    only one option.
    r: Requests RTP over TCP
    u: Requests RTP over UDP
    m: Requests multicast
    Example: RTP streaming 1 request using RTP over TCP
    rtsp://192.168.100.1:554/rtpstream/config1=r
    Note that the actual operation is dependent on the RTP client 
    application, so the URL does not necessarily specify the 
    method used for transmission.
     The video quality and, when H.264 is selected, bit rate control, 
    video size, and frame rate, are determined by the [Video] 
    settings.
     Regardless of the [Server] > [Audio Server] > [Audio 
    Transmission from the Camera] setting, RTP streaming audio 
    will be used.
    However, to use audio settings, select [Enable] for [Audio 
    Transmission from the Camera] and make the settings.
     The [Access Control] > [User Authority] > [Video Distribution] 
    and [Audio Distribution] settings are not used for RTP.
     RTP streaming video may not be viewable on systems using a 
    proxy server or firewall. If the video cannot be viewed, contact 
    the system administrator.
     If host access restrictions are applied to a client while it is 
    streaming using RTP over UDP, it may take from a few to 
    several seconds until streaming ceases.

    Upload] for the upload method.
    (2) [Video Format]
    Select the [JPEG] or [H.264] format for video you want 
    to upload. 
    If [H.264] is selected, select [Use bit rate control] 
    under [Bit Rate Control] in [Video].
    (3) [Frame Rate] 
    Enter the maximum frame rate of image to be 
    uploaded. This setting can only be made when 
    [JPEG] is selected for [Video Format].
    (4) [Pre-event Buffer (number of frames)] / [Pre-event 
    Buffer (sec)]
    Enter the number of frames or seconds of video to be 
    buffered before the event. The maximum amount is 
    number of frames for a [JPEG] selection and number 
    of seconds for an [H.264] selection in [Video Format].
    (5) [Post-event Buffer (number of frames)] / [Post-event 
    Buffer (sec)]
    Enter the number of frames or seconds of video to be 
    buffered after the event. The maximum amount is 
    number of frames for a [JPEG] selection and number 
    of seconds for an [H.264] selection in [Video Format].
    Note
    The server or network load may increase and the frame rate may 
    drop, depending on the settings. If this occurs, try the following 
    measures. Also check the settings including the network to the 
    server. 
     Reduce the image file size:
    – Set a lower value under [Video Quality] for JPEG/H.264 
    (p. 55). 
    – Set a lower value for [Video Size: Upload / SD card] for 
    JPEG (p. 55).
    – Set a lower value for [Video Size] for H.264 (p. 55).
    – Set a lower value under [Target Bit Rate (kbps)] for H.264 
    (p. 55).
     Reduce the uploading frequency: 
    – Reduce the value in [Pre-event Buffer] or [Post-event Buffer] 
    (p. 59). 
    [Upload] 
    Setting HTTP/FTP Upload and E-mail Notification
    The following can be set here. 
     General Upload
    Set the upload operation to be performed and the 
    image buffer.
     HTTP Upload
    Set HTTP connection uploads. 
     FTP Upload
    Set FTP connection uploads. 
     E-mail Notification
    Set event information and image e-mail 
    notifications. Important
     If the upload function is used, either the [Event] menu must 
    be set (p. 64) or the [Event] tab in the Intelligent Function 
    Setting Tool (p. 110) must be set. 
     If you are using both e-mail notification by text and image 
    and image upload by HTTP/FTP, set [Video Size: Upload / SD 
    card] (p. 55) to a small size.
     HTTP upload does not support SSL/TLS. 
     If the camera is set to perform upload or e-mail notification 
    continuously, not all images or e-mails may be sent 
    depending on the video size and the network condition to the 
    server. In this case, an event log message is displayed 
    (p. 79). 
     If the destination for HTTP/FTP upload or e-mail notification is 
    set for a Windows operating system, IPsec communication 
    cannot be applied.
     When an H.264 video is uploaded, the following restrictions 
    apply to [H.264] of [Video].
    - Only [Use bit rate control] can be selected for [Bit Rate 
    Control].
    - Only [3072] or less can be selected for [Target Bit Rate 
    (kbps)].
    - Only one of [0.5], [1], and [1.5] can be selected for [I 
    Frame Interval (sec)].
     The maximum image buffer size capacity is approx. 5 MB. 
    If a large video size is set, the Frame Rate, Pre-event Buffer 
    and Post-event Buffer may not be achieved as specified. 
     If buffering cannot be achieved as specified, a message is 
    written to the event log (p. 79). 
    Before using a large video size, confirm that no messages 
    appear in the event log.
     Regardless of the image buffer frame rate setting, only a 
    single image will be uploaded when a timer event occurs 
    (p. 66).
