Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards, such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing rests on the unit’s cables or power cords.

Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation.

Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for the type of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices. Using a cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal may result in degradation of color and video parameters.

Physical Security: The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.

Network Security: The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating and free from malicious interference. The unit is intended for installation on the backbone of a trusted network.

Electrostatic Safeguards: The unit as well as other equipment connected to it (relay outputs, alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge.

The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security plan. The goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to establish network connectivity.

Sub Stream: Select the video settings for viewing the sub-stream

Main Stream (Event): Select the video settings for viewing events

Upon selecting this setting, the Enable Event Compression Parameters checkbox is displayed. If you want to set different video settings for the Event stream, check this box and configure the video settings.

From the Video Type drop-down list, select Video Stream or Video&Audio.

From the Resolution drop-down list, select:

For PAL systems: 720*576 (D1), 704*576 (4CIF), 704*288 (2CIF), 352*288 (CIF), or 176*144 (QCIF). The default is D1.

For NTSC systems: 720*480 (D1), 704*480 (4CIF), 704*240 (2CIF), 352*240 (CIF), or 176*120 (QCIF). The default is D1.


38

From the Bitrate Type drop-down list, select Variable or Constant.

Constant Bit Rate (CBR) is used for setting a constant, maximum bit rate. CBR is not optimal for storage or quality, because it does not allocate enough data for complex sections (which results in degraded quality), and wastes data on simple sections. Choosing a higher bit rate results in better quality, but requires more storage.

Variable Bit Rate (VBR) files vary the amount of data per time segment. VBR enables a higher bit rate (and therefore requires more storage space) for more complex video or audio, while a lower bit rate and less storage space is allocated to less complex media. VBR files may take longer to encode and might be more problematic for streaming if the maximum bit rate is not set high enough to allow for high instantaneous bit rates.

From the Video Quality drop-down list, select Highest, Higher, Medium, Low, Lower, or Lowest.

From the Frame Rate drop-down list, select the number of frames per second (FPS) from 25 (for a PAL system) or 30 (for an NTSC system) to 1/16. The higher the FPS, the smoother the motion in the video.

Note:

The EN-216 automatically detects whether it is operating on a PAL or NTSC system.

In the Max. Bitrate text box, enter the maximum bit rate in Kbps (≤ 8,192 Kbps). The higher the bit rate, the better the image quality. This is especially helpful for allowing high instantaneous bit rates when using VBR. A higher bit rate consumes more storage space, however.

From the Video Encoding drop-down list, select the video compression format: MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264, or MJPEG according to the required image quality and storage limitations.

Note:

Not all Video Management Systems support all video formats.

To configure the settings on another camera, in the Copy to Camera area, do one of the following:



Check the camera checkbox to copy settings to a specific camera.

5.4.4.12 HTTPS

HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) ensures that transferred data between a web server and a web client (the browser) is encrypted using the Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) protocol over HTTP. The Secure Socket Layer also authenticates the identity of the client and server.

HTTPS requires that you obtain a secure SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) organization, such as VeriSign, which verifies the identity of the certificate holder (the organization on whose network the device operates).

Note:

In order to enable use of the HTTPS protocol, you must first create or request the creation of a secure certificate in the HTTPS screen.

HTTPS URLs begin with the prefix “https://”. After HTTPS is enabled, the system uses the HTTPS login mode by default when you enter the IP address (e.g., https://192.0.0.64).

You can also enter http://IP address (e.g., http://192.0.0.64) if you want to use HTTP mode to log into the device.
