Introduction High-quality, high efficiency video & audio transmission via IP network The network surveillance camera allows you to view live video over internet. Your control center can be set up anywhere with internet access without being restricted by locations. Surveillance video is processed by the most up-to date compression technology and transmitted in MPEG-4 compression format, whose transmission efficiency and video quality remain uncompromised by the network, minimizing the lagging of live surveillance video. In addition, wireless LAN is also supported. The wireless model makes the network usage more handy without the hassle of cable installation. Great usability in every surveillance aspect The network surveillance camera’s ease of use begins with its web-based user interface, using Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse the live video or the provided Windows client Surveillance Management Center(SMC) that offers many additional benefits: its user interface can display video up to 9 camera servers at the same time. Recording can also be done simultaneously and you can use it to view recorded video from the archive and backup your recorded file with audio.

Unparalleled surveillance functions where nothing slips through your watch The network surveillance camera’s motion detection function sends out the alarm when any movement of any object occurring on the scene is detected, which makes it ideal for home and after-hour facility security. 16 preset positions can be programmed and the auto-cruise function will make the tour accordingly as if you were taking the patrol rounds in person. You can also program the cameras to take snapshots or record video when the alarm is triggered by the event. These snapshots can be transmitted via FTP or email. Event recording is done by a client PC on the network as the camera sends snapshot in JPEG format as part of the responses to the triggered event. Optional centralized management software for large scale surveillance services The software suite performs as a central control station on a client PC that controls, manages, and monitors up to 9 network surveillance camera server units over the network at the same time. You can talk to your surveillance camera just by a click on the managed camera to start 2-way audio conversation. The flexible and diversified SMC offer you handy surveillance solution on Windows platform.

Note: Depends on firmware version to be upgraded, surveillance camera may reboot itself with factory default or maintain its original setting. Note: Check the NSC3615 LED to ensure the surveillance camera reboot itself properly. Frequently Asked Questions Network Configuration Category : IPCAM / Installation / General Question: How can I determine my network setting / configuration ? Answer: You shall verify what kind of your user PC network access point are you in(public/private IP address).

The following figure is an example. Justify your network access point(User PC A /B/C) Leadtek Live Demo corporate / home LAN User PC C 2 NAT: ( IP: 172.16.0.62 ) Internet NSC3615 ( IP: 220.128.22.97 ) NAT Router ( Global IP : 211.72.242.91 ) ( Private IP : 192.168.0.1 ) User PC B NSC3615 ( IP: 59.120.205.60 ) 1 NAT : ( IP: 192.168.0.3 ) User PC A(public) ( IP: 62.128.30.57 ) If you do not know your IP address of PC / notebook, enter the command as the snapshot to find out: If the “IP Address” field displayed is included in the following range, your PC is located in a private LAN Private IP address range: � 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 : private IP address range � 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 : private IP address range � 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 : private IP address range � 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255 ( DHCP link failure address setting)

SIP Configuration Category : SMC / Configuration / General Question: How to verify SIP connection mode for A/V transmission in NSC3615(Peer-to-peer or SIP proxy) ? How do I configure SIP connection mode on SMC? Answer: SMC supports 2 mode of SIP connection, i.e. peer-to-peer or via SIP proxy. A SIP phone number shall be pre-configured before make the SIP call to IPCam server. For a peer-to-peer mode, the IP address of target IPCam shall be designated before launching IPCam connection. If you are making an SIP proxy connection to IPCam server, make sure you have already configured SIP proxy setting of SMC itself. The SIP proxy setting can be modified from “Advance Setting” �”Other” Make sure “Using SIP Server” option is “ON”. You need to restart SMC to make the new SIP proxy setting to be effective.

Motion Detection Category : SMC / Operation / General Question: How do I configure the Motion Detection of IPCAM ? Answer: Configure motion detection from “Advanced Setting”�”Motion Detection”�”Area 1” Use the mouse to make the selection of motion detection block and apply the “Enable” radio button.

The rest of the setting determines what actions will be taken by SMC(snapshot, record) or IPCam device(send snapshot by email or FTP, trigger DO) when motion alarm triggered.

Four parameters (Sensitivity / Object Size / Frame Interval / Alarm Duration) need to configured before turning on the motion detection function. � Sensitivity: This parameter determines the sensitivity of embedded motion detector algorithm. The higher the value, the more sensible to the motion object change.

� Object Size: This parameter determines the pixel change percentage of motion interest area. If more pixels(vs configured value) are justified and declared as changed by embedded motion detector algorithm, motion is reported by the device. � Frame Interval: The frame interval check the number of required video frames in a row to confirm the motion condition. The smaller the value, the higher motion probability. � Alarm Duration: The “Alarm Duration” parameter specifies period of interval to start next motion detection. If one motion event is confirmed and declared, it is required to wait for the time specified by “Alarm Duration” so that the next motion event can be start to detect. The motion detection parameters are configured via Windows client SMC. The surveillance camera will save the setting in its own permanent storage and start performing the motion monitoring task. The parameters will be still effective after a device reboot. Video Quality Setting Category : SMC / Configuration / General Question: How can I configure the IPCAM to get the best of video quality ? What factors may dominate the video quality of IPCAM performance ?

Answer: The following configurable parameters have dominant effects on user video quality feeling: � Video Resolution � Video Mode � Bit Rate � Frame Rate � Quality Those parameters are closely linked and there is a tradeoff between setting of each parameters. For example, there is no guaranteed setting to satisfy user (Bit Rate, Frame Rate, Quality) setting under desired video resolution. The final effect also needs to take complexity of live image coding into account. For example, a big scene change will take more bitstream to reconstruct the image frame and thus more network bandwidth is required. 1) Video Resolution: The actual video resolution configured determines the viewable image delivered by the surveillance camera. CIF : 352 x 288 QCIF : 176 x 144 VGA : 640 x 480

QVGA : 320 x 240 D1 : 702 x 480 The higher resolution configuration makes surveillance camera codec engine to pump out more bitstream data for reconstruction of image frame in Windows client. 2) Video Mode Leadtek surveillance camera supports 2 video mode for rate control, i.e. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate(CBR). The VBR setting honors the frame rate and quality setting and thus pump out as much as bitstream to satisfy those 2 parameter setting(frame rate , quality). As dramatic scene change in surveillance camera side, you will observe the running video bit-rate is going up(mostly out of user bit rate control) to maintain the better frame rate and quality setting. The CBR setting honors the bit rate setting and thus frame rate and quality setting are sacrificed to maintain the consistent network bandwidth usage. 3) Video Bit Rate The video bit rate describes / places an upper bound limit on how much video bitstream will be generated by codec engine. This parameter is cross-related to video mode setting. Please also refer to video mode setting for details. 4) Frame Rate The frame rate parameter describes / places an upper bound limit on how much video frame per second are generated by surveillance codec engine. The actual frames received in Windows side may be lower than user’s configuration due to network packet loss, congestion , computing power of PC and etc. 5) Video Quality The quality parameter describes the quantization level of MPEG-4 macro block. User may observe the block / mosaic effect of video image if the parameter setting is high. The lower the video quality value the finer block will be observed on image reconstruction.

Configuration Setting: Video Resolution / Video Mode / Bit Rate / Frame Rate / Video Quality Scene without moving object � CIF / VBR / 256 k / 30fps / 4 Running bitrate 214 k/ 28 fps � CIF / VBR / 256 k / 30fps / 31 Running bit rate 138k / 28 fps The blocked image will be observed on the image.

Scene with moving object � CIF / CBR / 256 k / 30fps / 4 Running bit rate 284k / 8fps The actual running frame rate is lower than 30 fps due to the constraint of available network bandwidth. � CIF / CBR / 256 k / 30fps / 31
