Introduction

Standard Settings

  1. Camera Details:

    1. Name: the labelled name of the camera in the UI.

    2. Manufacturer: the camera's manufacturer.

    3. Model: the camera model.

    4. User ID: a user friendly ID that can be used for external control, associated with whomever added the camera.

    5. Asset Code: insert your asset code if applicable.

    6. Enabled: select for the camera to be active.

    7. Relay ID: the relay that is activated whenever the camera is activated (most often used to prompt a DVR to begin recording the video feed). Choose ‘0’ to disable.

    8. Operating Mode:

      1. Automatic

      2. Mirror

      3. Manual

    9. Layer: the layer the camera is placed on, e.g. S/A Layer.

    10. Colour: the colour of the camera icon on the PPI.

    11. Invert Pan: when selected, all pan controls for the camera will be reversed. Used for cameras that are mounted in an inverted position.

    12. Invert Tilt: when selected, all tilt controls for the camera will be reversed. Used for cameras that are mounted in an inverted position. 

    13. Range: Defines the maximum zoom distance (in metres) that the camera should be taken to when tracking distant objects. When tracking moving targets at long zoom levels it is possible to miss the target altogether. By reducing the zoom level, a larger field of view provides greater opportunity to keep the target within the frame. 

    14. Zoom Factor (%): the percentage of the camera's maximum zoom capability used when following a track.

    15. Home Zoom Factor (%): the percentage of the camera's maximum zoom capability used when at rest at the Home Position.

    16. Default Viewer:

    17. Height Offset Mode: choose between the options; None, Terrain, Local and Combined.

  2. Position:

    1. X/Y/Z (m): the relative position of the camera to the origin, within the PPI Display, measured by an X/Y/Z octant.

    2. Latitude/Longitude (°): the true geographical position of the camera.

  3. Home Position:

    1. X/Y (m): the relative position of the Home Position (camera direction at rest) to the origin, within the PPI Display, measured by an X/Y quadrant.

    2. Latitude/Longitude (°): the true geographical position of the Home Position.

  4. Offset: this value determines the change in camera position necessary to go from the factory rest direction to the Home Position rest direction.

    1. Pan: the degree value the camera needs to move left or right.

    2. Pan Delta: the numeric interval between each click of the left-right direction controls.

    3. Tilt: the degree value the camera needs to move up or down.

    4. Tilt Delta: the numeric interval between each click of the up-down direction controls.

  5. Areas: see Camera Areas. Camera Areas will be listed here.

  6. Connection Details (ONVIF):

    1. Address: defines the IP address of the camera.

    2. User Name: user details to access connection.

    3. Password: security password to access connection.

    4. Security Mode: the security protocols available for the camera connection. 

      1. Auto: uses both digest and username token authentication.

      2. Digest: confirms the identity of a user before sending sensitive information. It applies a hash function to the username and password as a form of encryption before sending them over the network. 

      3. Username Token: an authentication technique that lets users enter their username and password once and receive a uniquely-generated encrypted token in exchange, which in turn identifies the user to the camera.

      4. None.

URL connection details will be specific to camera protocol - not all will employ ONVIF. If you are unsure of the appropriate connection details, refer to the camera manual or your camera supplier. 

Advanced:

  1. Camera Details:

    1. Dwell Timeout (s): defines a time period for which the camera will remain on a view before moving to the next position. The default setting is 10 seconds

    2. Dwell Zoom Factor (%): the percentage of the camera's maximum zoom capability used when dwelling.

    3. Large Pan (°): the angle the camera rotates during a Large Pan.

    4. Large Pan Zoom Factor (%): the percentage of the camera's maximum zoom capability used when performing a Large Pan.

    5. Fast Target Speed (m/s): the minimum speed a Target must have before it is considered Fast.

    6. Fast Target Zoom Factor (%): the percentage of the camera's maximum zoom capability used when following a Fast Target.

  2. Classification Zoom Factors: select +/- to add/remove Classification Zoom Factors. To create a Classification Zoom Factor, select + and then input the Classification and Zoom Factor values below. To edit an existing Classification Zoom Factor, select a previous entry in the list, and then change the value in the fields underneath.

    1. Classification: choose the classification to create a zoom factor for.

    2. Zoom Factor (%): define the zoom factor; the amount the camera will zoom in on a target of that classification when identified.

  3. Connection Details (ONVIF):

    1. Port: defines the port number used by the camera.

    2. Use TLS:

    3. Connection Limit: the maximum number of connections possible to this camera.

    4. Media Profile Token: a unique token identifier which applies a media profile. A media profile consists of a set of media configurations. Media profiles are used to configure properties of a media stream from a device.

    5. Available Tokens:

  4. Driver Details: 

    1. Show Range: show the camera range on the PPI. By default, this appears as a green, dashed-line perimeter.

    2. External ID: 

    3. Minimum Delay (s): 

    4. Small Move Delta (m):

    5. Zoom Coefficient A, B, C: these three values are derived from the model number of the camera and define the manner in which the zoom reacts to changing distance. These values are generally not altered.

    6. Max. Zoom Range (m): the maximum distance to which the camera will zoom to (if technically capable).
