VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION  
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS  
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality  
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture  
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution  
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,  
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event  
not being recorded by the system.  
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the  
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in  
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Introduction  
The IDE Series is a fixed network dome camera with a built-in, Web-based viewer for live streaming to a standard Web browser (Microsoft®  
Internet Explorer® or Mozilla® Firefox®). The camera features open architecture connectivity for third-party applications and is also  
Endura Enabledand compatible with Digital Sentry® to record, manage, configure, and view multiple live streams.  
The camera supports two compression formats and many resolutions. The two standard compression formats include H.264 and MJPEG. The  
dual streams can be configured for a variety of resolutions, frame rates, and bit rates.  
The IDE Series includes 1.3 and 2.1 megapixel (MPx) models available in two camera styles: color or day/night. The day/night model has an  
mechanical IR cut filter that increases camera sensitivity in low-light situations. The camera uses a 1/3-inch imager and accommodates  
CS-mount lenses.  
The camera also includes built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE), which supplies power to the camera through the network. If PoE is not available, the  
camera is prewired for 24 VAC.  
BUILT-IN ANALYTICS  
All IDE Series models are preloaded with user-configurable behaviors. The device is capable of running up to three behaviors at the same time;  
however, the number of behaviors is limited to the available processing power of the device and the type of analytic being used.  
Pelco analytics are configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The behaviors are also compatible with Endura® or a third-party  
system that supports the Pelco Analytics API. Refer to the specific product documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco  
analytics.  
Models are also available with ObjectVideo® (OV) Suites. OV Suites require an OV ready-compliant system with an OV Readyvideo  
management system to configure and enable the OV Analytic Suites that are preloaded on the dome. Refer to the ObjectVideo documentation for  
instructions on how to configure and enable OV analytics.

WIRING  
CAT5 CABLE  
Connect a Cat5 cable to the RJ-45 network port. The 8-pin connector includes video and PoE for the camera. PoE (IEEE 802.3af) injects power over  
the same cabling that carries the network data, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. This simplifies the installation and operation of  
the camera without affecting network performance.  
NOTE: The camera will autosense and configure itself to use either a crossover cable or a straight cable.

The camera provides an alarm input for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Both normally open and normally  
closed devices are supported.  
Supervised Alarms  
When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the camera maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit  
(3.3 VDC, 1 ohm). If the alarm circuit length changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass, the voltage fluctuates from its normal state and  
activates an alarm.  
NOTE: Install the 1-kohm resistor as close to the switch as possible.  
Figure 18 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of a supervised alarm input. Whether the alarm is normally closed or normally open,  
neither a cut nor a bypass can defeat these alarms.

Multicast. Select the media player from the Player drop-down menu. Available settings include Pelco Media Player or QuickTime.  
JPEG compression: Select the image rate for the stream from the Image Rate drop-down menu. The available settings for the primary  
and secondary streams depend on the Image Rate setting. The QuickView Stream has only two image rate settings: 2 ips and 1 ips.  
4. Click the Select button to save the stream settings.  
Refer to the following sections for more information:  
PRIMARY STREAM AND SECONDARY STREAM  
The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams  
can be set up using a video preset setting, or they can be customized using the video configuration settings.  
A video preset is a predefined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream  
configuration, use the Video Preset page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.  
To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream use the Video Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.  
Configurable settings include the stream name, compression standard, resolution setting, image rate, and bit rate. The default names for the  
streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names have been changed, the new names will replace the default  
names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.  
QUICKVIEW STREAM  
The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with VGA resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is displayed when the  
Imaging Tab settings are configured. This allows users to view changes to exposure, white balance, and tone map settings as they are configured  
and before the settings are saved.  
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high  
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.  
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream. The only stream setting that is selectable is the framerate: 2 ips  
or 1 ips.

EVENT STREAM  
The Event Stream displays a list of alerts triggered by a running behavior (analytic). The alert includes a screen capture, the profile that was  
triggered, and the zone where the alert was detected. For the Event Stream to work you must have a behavior profile running. To set up and run  
behaviors, use the Analytic Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the Events Tab.  
UNICAST  
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data  
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera  
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.  
The camera supports a maximum of 20 simultaneous users.  
MULTICAST  
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the  
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.

server settings are read-only text. If DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually changed. The default camera setting for DHCP is On.  
SSL Settings  
To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide several security levels that can be adjusted for sites that use SSL technology to  
transmit data. SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.  
SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the Web browser accessing the camera has the required authentication. The camera can  
generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign®), or it can generate  
a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.  
SSH Settings  
SSH is a user-enabled protocol that allows Pelco Product Support to log on to and service the camera for advanced troubleshooting purposes.  
From this page, users with the appropriate permissions can enable or disable SSH access to the camera.  
802.1x  
802.1x is a port security that authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access through a wired or wireless port using  
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This port-based authentication method prevents unauthorized access to a Local Area Network (LAN)  
through a physical port. For example, when a device is connected to a network port, the network switch will ask the device for authentication.  
If the credential is accepted when the device sends a credential to the network switch, the network switch will open the port for normal use.  
If authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.  
SNMP  
SNMP is an application layer protocol used to manage TCP/IP-based networks from a single workstation or several workstations. The camera  
supports SNMP versions 2c and 3 and can be configured to send data using a trap.

Imaging Tab  
Use the Imaging tab to change the cameras general image settings, adjust the camera exposure, program the focus mechanism, adjust the tone  
map settings to increase scene detail, tune the white balance settings for scenes with fluctuating lighting conditions, or define window blanking  
privacy areas.  
General Imaging Settings  
General imaging settings include adjustments for camera orientation and digital processing. The Orientation settings reconfigure the image  
180 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically. Use these settings when installing the camera in an inverted position. If the orientation is  
not adjusted, the image will display upside down and mirrored.  
Digital processing settings can be set to Auto or Manual to adjust the camera’s sharpness, saturation, and contrast. When set to Auto, the  
camera continually delivers the best possible image by automatically adjusting the digital processing settings based on the scene. Auto is the  
default setting. Manual digital processing is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source.  
Exposure Settings  
Exposure is the amount of light detected by the camera sensor. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail and contrast between  
white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates detail in the scene. The camera features Auto and Manual  
exposure settings. Auto exposure automatically sets the amount of light detected by the camera sensor based on settings for light control,  
exposure compensation, and the day and night exposure times. Manual exposure sets the amount of light detected by the camera sensor based  
on a user-defined setting. Manual exposure is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source.  
Auto is the default setting.  
Focus Settings  
Focus sets the back focus to the center focal point of the scene. The camera can be configured to back focus automatically or manually. Auto  
focus automatically back focuses the camera on the subject in the center of the scene. Manual focus turns off the auto focus mechanism and  
locks the camera at a user-specified position. The manual focus setting is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single,  
unchanging primary light source. The Focus page also includes Full Range Auto-Focus, Quick Auto-Focus, and a Factory Defaults.  
Tone Map Settings  
Tone map balances the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to produce an image with more balanced lighting and more detail. This is  
accomplished, in part, when the device maps the 10-bit input sensor data (0 to 1023 bits) into 8-bit output RGB values (0 to 255 bits).  
White Balance Settings  
White balance settings define how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White balance is especially effective in  
scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one type of light source. For example, scenes that benefit from white  
balance correction are outdoor scenes, indoor scenes that include a window or door that opens to the outdoors, or indoor scenes that include  
both incandescent and fluorescent lighting.

SELECTING AUTO EXPOSURE SETTINGS  
Figure 30. Auto Exposure Page  
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.  
2. Select Exposure from the drop-down menu.  
3. Select the Auto mode.  
4. Select the Light Control method: Digital Exposure or Auto-Iris Exposure.  
Digital Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the sensor exposure time depending on the light level at the scene. For very bright  
scenes, the exposure time is very short and, as the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is increased until the maximum exposure  
time is reached. Digital Exposure is the default setting and provides the best image quality for the majority of scenes.  
Auto-Iris Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the lens iris depending on the light level at the scene. For this setting, the sensor  
exposure time is fixed. Select Auto-Iris if the video shows flickering or rolling bands due to 50 Hz or 60 Hz lighting. Most lighting situations  
do not require this setting.  
5. Select the Exposure Optimization setting: Normal or Action. These are optimizations of the Digital Exposure control.  
Normal: This setting is for very bright scenes and exposure time is very short. As the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is  
increased until the maximum exposure time is reached. Normal is the default setting.  
Action: This setting operates similar to Normal except the short exposure times are used for both bright and mid-level lighting. This  
minimizes the blur in video caused by moving objects. For very low light scenes, Action optimization operates the same as Normal,  
increasing the exposure time until the maximum exposure time is reached.

6. Set the Exposure Compensation setting. Move the slider bar to the right to brighten the video, or move it to the left to darken the video. The  
exposure compensation range is –100 to 100; the default setting is 0 (zero).  
7. Color cameras only: Set the Max Exposure Time and Night Max Exposure Time.  
Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during daytime conditions.  
Decreasing Max Exposure Time reduces the blur caused by fast moving objects as the light dims, but it also reduces the light sensitivity of  
the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.  
Night Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during dim light, such as  
nighttime conditions. Increase this time to increase the light sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default  
setting is 120 msec.  
8. Day /night cameras only: Set the Day Max Exposure Time and Night Exposure Time.  
Day Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed when the camera is in  
Day (Color) mode. Decreasing Max Exposure Time reduces the blur caused by fast moving objects as the light dims, but it also reduces the  
light sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.  
Night Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed when the camera is in  
Night (black-white) mode. Increase this time to increase the light sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the  
default setting is 120 msec.  
9. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day Exposure Time and the Night Exposure Time.  
Day Exposure Time: This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during daytime conditions. Decreasing  
exposure time decreases the light sensitivity of the scene and reduces the blur caused by fast moving objects; however, it increases the  
amount of noise in the scene. The day maximum exposure time range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.  
Night Exposure Time: This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during nighttime (black-white)  
conditions. Increase the exposure time to increase light sensitivity of the scene. The night maximum exposure time range is 1 to 500 msec;  
the default setting is 120 msec.  
10. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day Night mode to Auto or Manual.  
Auto: This setting automatically controls the IR cut filter determined by the Transition Level and the Transition Detect settings.  
Manual: This setting sets the IR filter to a fixed position. The filter can be set to the Day (color) position or the Night (black-white) position.

4. Move the Analog Gain slider to the desired position. Increasing the gain increases the brightness of the image, but it also increases the  
amount of noise in the image. The analog gain range is 1.00 to 15.75; the default setting is 1.00.  
5. Move the Exposure Time slider to the desired position. This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that the sensor is exposed to the  
light. Decreasing the maximum exposure time decreases the light sensitivity. The exposure time range is 0.01 to 1000 msec; the default  
setting is 15 msec.  
6. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day Night Position setting.  
Day: Sets the IR filter to the Day (color) position.  
Night: Sets the IR filter to the Night (black-white) position.

DAY NIGHT SETTINGS  
The Day Night mode controls the position of the IR cut filter, which determines the color or black-white setting of the camera. The Day Night  
mode settings change depending on the Exposure settings. If the camera is set to Auto Exposure mode, the Day Night mode can be set to Auto or  
Manual and all of the respective settings are available. If the camera is set to Manual Exposure, the only available Day Night mode setting is  
Position, which sets the IR filter to either the Day (color) position or the Night (black-white) position.  
DAY NIGHT AUTO AND MANUAL MODES  
DAY NIGHT AUTO MODE  
The Day Night Auto mode setting automatically controls the IR cut filter depending on the Transition Level and Transition Detect Time settings.  
Transition Level: Determines when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white). Move the slider to the left or right  
to change the transition level to a lighter or darker setting. Select a lighter transition level setting if you want the camera to change modes at a  
high lux setting. Use the default setting of 4 for normal day/night operation. Use a darker transition level to change modes at a low lux setting.

Transition Detect Time (sec): Controls the length of time the camera is exposed to a light level before it changes to color or black-white mode.  
This setting is useful for dark scenes where a bright light is momentarily introduced in the scene (for example, when a car with its headlights  
turned on passes the camera scene).  
DAY NIGHT MANUAL MODE  
The Day Night Manual mode sets the IR cut filter to a fixed position depending on the Position setting. Available settings include Day and Night.  
Day: Sets the IR filter to the Day (color) position.  
Night: Sets the IR filter to the Night (black-white) position.

CONFIGURING AUTO FOCUS SETTINGS  
Figure 32. Auto Focus Page  
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.  
2. Select Focus from the drop-down menu.  
3. Select the Auto mode.  
4. Set the Temperature Change Refocus setting. The camera is programmed to run a quick automatic focus sequence when the internal  
temperature sensor of the camera detects an environmental temperature change of 41°F (5°C). This focus sequence adjusts the center  
focal point of the scene to maintain optimal focus. The default setting is On; select Off to turn off this setting.  
5. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day/Night Switch Refocus setting. The default setting for the Day/Night Switch Refocus is Off. Select On  
if the cameras focal length is greater than ~25 mm or the night scene uses mostly IR lighting. The best method to determine if the day/night  
refocus should be enabled is to test the camera with the daytime light conditions, and then test it again with the nighttime light conditions.  
When enabled (On) this setting refocuses the camera when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white) or vice  
versa. For example, if the camera changes from day mode to night mode, the imager automatically adjusts the back focus for the change in  
light.  
6. If required, use one of the following buttons to adjust the focus:  
Full Range Auto-Focus: The camera starts a full-range search to find the optimal focal point for the scene.  
Quick Auto-Focus: The camera searches for the optimal focal point in a limited range.  
Restore Setings to Defaults: The camera resets the auto focus to the factory default setting.

A/V Streams Tab  
Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab includes a Video Presets page, a Video  
Configuration page, and an Audio Configuration page.  
Video Presets  
The Video Preset page includes three fully-configured video presets, which include primary and secondary video stream settings for easy setup.  
These presets may also be used as a starting point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations vary depending on camera  
model.  
Video Configuration  
The Video Configuration page allows you to customize the compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate of the video streams. The default  
names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream. Although each stream can be configured independently, the settings of one  
stream can limit the options available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.  
NOTE: Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should always be the most resource-intensive of  
the streams.  
Audio Configuration  
The Audio Configuration page allows you to setup an external audio device. The default setting for Audio is disabled, which means that no audio  
is transmitted from the camera. When enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on your system configuration, images and  
audio may not be synchronized.  
Not all camera models are equipped with an internal audio device. Refer to the specifications for your camera model for information.  
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of  
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are  
solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

Resolutions  
IMAGE RATE  
The image rate is the number of images per second (ips) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates are 30, 25, 24, 15,  
12.5, 12, 10, 8, 7.5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.5, 2, and 1.  
NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the programmed compression standard and the resolution of the stream.  
Refer to the following section for more information:  
BIT RATE  
The bit rate is the quality of the video stream (rendered in kilobits per second). The higher the value, the higher the video quality and bandwidth  
required.  
NOTE: When you change any of the video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the bit rate. If you manually reduce  
the bit rate lower than the camera's automatic setting, the image quality might be reduced and the stream selection options might be limited.  
I-FRAME INTERVAL  
The I-frame interval configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames in the video stream. For example, in a scene where a  
door opens and a person walks through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored by the video encoder. The stationary  
background that occurs in the previous partial frames is not encoded, because no changes occurred in that part of the scene. The stationary  
background is only encoded in the full frames. Partial frames improve video compression rates by reducing the size of the video. As the I-frame  
interval increases, the number of partial frames increases between full frames. Higher values are only recommended on networks with high  
reliability. This setting is only available with H.264.

QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES CODE POINT  
Quality of Service (QoS) for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a code that allows the network to prioritize the transmission of different  
types of data. This setting is only available with H.264.  
NOTES:  
If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.  
Your network must be configured to use QoS. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware, contact your network administrator.  
ENDURA SIGNING  
Enabling the Endura Signing feature allows an Endura® system to authenticate video from an Endura recorded stream. This setting is only  
available with H.264.  
RATE CONTROL  
The rate control setting determines the bit rate and quality of each frame in the video stream. There might be a trade-off between image quality  
and the resources required for video storage when selecting a rate control setting.  
CBR: The constant bit rate (CBR) streams video at a fixed number of bits per second. CBR uses the full capacity of the bit rate setting for scenes  
with or without motion. Video is always streamed at the user bit rate setting.  
PROFILE  
The profile defines the subset of bit stream features in an H.264 stream, including color reproduction and additional video compression. It is  
important that the selected profile is compatible with the recording device so that a stream can be decoded and viewed.  
Baseline: A simple profile with a low compression ratio. A baseline profile is compatible with more recorders but uses more bits to compress  
quality video than the other profiles. This profile supports I-frames and P-frames. Use the baseline profile in applications with limited scene  
changes; for example, an indoor scene with a single, unchanging primary light source and minimal motion.  
Main: An intermediate profile with a medium compression ratio. Main is the default profile setting. This profile is compatible with most  
recorders and uses fewer bits to compress video than the baseline profile; however, it uses more bits than the high profile. The main profile  
supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.  
High: A complex profile with a high compression ratio. This is the primary profile for high-definition television applications; for example this is  
the profile adopted for Blu-ray and HD-DVD. The high profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.  
GOP STRUCTURE  
The group of pictures (GOP) structure is the sequence in which frames are placed within a video stream. The GOP structure always includes  
intra-coded frames (I-frames) and predictive coded frames (P-frames), but it can also include bi-directionally predictive coded frames (B-frames).  
Each GOP structure starts with an I-frame: an image of the complete scene that is used as the reference frame in the structure. P-frames record  
data changes that are different than the previous frame. This allows the video encoder to save space since the data of the I-frame is not  
duplicated. B-frames not only capture data changes from the previous frame, but they also capture the data changes from the frame after the  
B-frame. B-frames are more compressed than P-frames and require more processing power to be decoded.  
The camera can be configured to use one of the following GOP structures:  
IP: A compression that uses only I-frames and P-frames to provide low latency and a high level of decoder support. This GOP structure is  
compatible with more recorders and decoders than IBBrBP.  
IBBrBP: The most sophisticated H.264 compression available. IBBrBP provides the highest quality image at a given bit rate, but it also increases  
the latency of the video and requires more processing power for decoders.  
ADVANCED SHARPENING  
The Advanced Sharpening setting enhances picture detail by sharpening the edges in the picture. When this mode is enabled, there is a trade-off  
between image quality and the resources required for processing power. The maximum camera resolution and image rate will not be available,  
but the edges of the image seem sharper. Only use this setting if you cannot achieve the sharpness level you want by adjusting the digital  
processing settings of the camera. The default setting for Advanced Sharpening is Off.

Events Tab  
Use the Events tab to configure camera events and analytics.  
Events are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the device how to react when an event occurs. Event handlers are the actions that  
the device takes when an event occurs. For example, a system source can be configured to send email to an operator if the system shuts-down  
and restarts.  
Sources  
The camera supports one physical input alarm source, a system source, and a timer source. The Alarm source is the camera input for an external  
signaling device, such as a door contact or motion detector. The System source is activated when the camera restarts. The Timer source is a  
user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time. For example, the timer can be activated every 60 seconds to save an  
image to an SD card.  
Handlers  
The device supports a Send Email handler, a “Write JPEG to SD Card handler,” and an “Upload JPEG to FTP Server handlers.” The Send Email  
handler sends an email to a defined email address when an event is activated. The “Write JPEG to SD Card” saves a JPEG of the activated event  
to an SD card. The “Upload JPEG to FTP Server” saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.  
Analytic Configuration  
Pelco analytics can be configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The device is preloaded with user-configurable behaviors and is  
capable of running several behaviors at the same time. The number of behaviors is limited to the available processing power of the device.  
Available processing power is determined by the settings for compression standards, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and analytic configuration.  
Pelco analytics are also compatible with Endura® or a third-party system that supports Pelcos Analytics API system. Refer to the specific product  
documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco analytics.  
NOTE: Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through the analytics API.  
Models are also available with ObjectVideo® (OV) Suites. OV Suites require an OV ready-compliant system with an OV Readyvideo  
management system to configure and enable the OV Analytic Suites that are preloaded on the camera. Refer to the ObjectVideo documentation  
for instructions on how to configure and enable OV analytics.  
Pelco analytics include the following behaviors:  
Abandoned Object: Detects objects placed in a defined zone and triggers an alarm if the object remains in the zone longer than the  
user-defined time allows.  
Adaptive Motion: Detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined zone. The  
objects are monitored until they exit the scene.  
Camera Sabotage: Detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed with spray paint, a cloth, or  
covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.  
Directional Motion: Generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a person or object moves in a specified direction. For example, a camera is  
pointed at an exit door. If someone tries to enter through the exit door, an alarm triggers.  
Loitering Detection: Identifies when people or vehicles remain in a defined zone longer than the user-defined time allows. This behavior is  
effective for real-time notification of suspicious behavior around ATMs, stairwells, and school grounds.  
Object Counting: Counts the number of objects that enter a defined zone or cross a defined trip wire. This behavior can be used to count people  
at a store entrance/exit or inside a store where the traffic is light.  
Object Removal: Triggers an alarm if an object is removed from a user-defined zone. This behavior is ideal for customers who want to detect  
the removal of high-value objects, such as a painting from a wall or a statue from a pedestal.  
Stopped Vehicle: Detects vehicles stopped near a sensitive area longer than the user-defined time allows. This behavior is ideal for parking  
enforcement, suspicious parking, traffic lane breakdowns, and vehicles waiting at gates.

ANALYTIC CONFIGURATION  
NOTES:  
This section explains how to configure and enable Pelco analytics using a Web browser.  
Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through the analytics API.  
For information on how to receive analytic alerts for ObjectVideo Suites, refer to the ObjectVideo Web Console User Guide or the  
ObjectVideo Web Console User Guide-Abridged. Both are available on the resource disc supplied with the camera.  
Figure 45. Analytic Configuration Page  
To configure an analytic behavior using a standard Web browser, you must create a profile, select the behavior for the profile, and then create the  
zones to be monitored by the behavior.  
Profiles: A profile extends the flexibility and power of a behavior. For each behavior, you can create several custom profiles that contain  
different settings. With these profiles, you can set up different scenarios for the behavior. Depending on the behavior, each profile might focus on  
a different zone, have different sensitivities, detect different object sizes, or trigger an alarm based on different types of motion.  
Behaviors: A behavior analyzes objects within the camera’s field of view and can be configured to detect and trigger alarms automatically when  
specific activity is detected. Available behaviors are based on the camera model. Examples of behaviors include Camera Sabotage, which  
detects contrast changes in the field of view and triggers an alarm if the lens is obstructed or if the camera is repositioned; Adaptive Motion,  
which detects and tracks objects that enter a user-defined zone; and Object Counting, which counts the number of objects that enter a defined  
zone or cross a defined trip wire.  
Zone: A zone is a defined boundary or area that is monitored by a configured behavior. A zone can be defined by a box, polygon, or tripwire, and  
it can also include the direction of motion. These attributes are determined by the parameters of the selected behavior.

6. Click the Calibrate Scene button to calibrate the scene.  
NOTE: Set the perspective settings to reflect the camera’s angle. This information will make the object sizes you set on the next tab more  
meaningful and help reduce the number of false alarms.  
7. Select the behavior for the profile from the “Select behaviors” section.  
8. Configure the settings for the behavior.  
9. Click the Save button to save the profile. The new profile name appears in the Select Profile section.

CONFIGURING A BEHAVIOR  
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.  
2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.  
3. Select a profile from the Select Profile section.  
4. Select the behavior for the profile from the “Select behaviors” section.  
5. Check the Activate Behavior box located in the “Settings for [behavior name]” section.  
If the camera has enough resources, the behavior activates and a check mark appears to the left of the selected behavior(s), which is  
located in the “Select behaviors” section.  
If the camera does not have enough resources, the following message and instructions appear: “The camera does not have enough  
processing power to activate this behavior. To free up needed resources, turn off one of the other behaviors or reconfigure the video  
streams.”  
6. Set up the zones for the behavior.  
7. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.  
DRAWING A ZONE  
You can define up to 32 zones for each behavior. Each zone has a shape and direction. There are three types of drawing tools: Box, Polygon, and  
Line. If a box or polygon is drawn to define the zone, any motion against the alarmed direction will trigger an alarm. If a line (trip wire) is drawn  
to define the zone, any motion that crosses the line against the alarmed direction will trigger an alarm.  
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.  
2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.  
3. Click a behavior located in the “Select behaviors” section.  
4. Check the Activate Behavior box located in the “Settings for [behavior name]” section. A check mark appears to the left of the selected  
behavior(s) located in the “Select behaviors” section.  
5. Use the draw tools to define the zone.  
6. Set the behavior-specific settings for the zone:  
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the zone. Consider naming zones based on their location.  
Enable alarm: Activates the alarm function. Select the check box to activate an alarm.  
Direction: If the alarm is enabled, this setting defines the direction in which you want to detect and count moving objects and people  
inside the defined zone. Direction settings include all directions (All, Up, Up-right, Right, Down-right, Down, Down-left, Left, and Up-left).  
Alarm at: Defines the number of objects required to enter the zone or cross the trip wire to trigger an alarm.  
Alarm severity: Defines the level of an alarm event. Settings include Minor, Normal, Major, and Critical  
Dwell Time: Defines the time in seconds that the alarm-triggered zone turns to normal status. The default setting is 30 seconds.  
Reset count after alarm: Rests the counter to zero after the count reaches the defined the number of objects required to trigger an alarm.  
7. To draw another zone, repeat steps 5 through 7.  
8. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
