About this guide
Some supported video units can be directly integrated into Omnicast; that is you just connect
the unit to your network and then add the unit to your Omnicast system from the Archiver.
Other supported video units require additional set up from their web-based configuration page
before they can be added to Omnicast.
This guide explains the pre-configuration instructions for selected video units, and any
additional configuration steps required for some video unit features to work in Omnicast 4.8
SR3. It supplements the Omnicast Administrator Guide.
NOTE For details such as firmware and certification status of the video units supported by
Omnicast, see the Supported Devices list on Genetec’s Technical Assistance Portal (GTAP) at
https://gtap.genetec.com.
This guide is written for installers, integrators, and Omnicast administrators. It assumes you are
familiar with the following concepts and systems:
•Microsoft Windows operating system
•Networking concepts and computer hardware knowledge
•Security and video surveillance system concepts
•Omnicast applications

Enable audio out anti-jitter buffering
Axis, Sony, and Verint extensions can be configured to use the audio out anti-jitter buffer. With
this feature enabled, the Archiver buffers the audio packet before sending it to the unit's audio
decoder, eliminating any jittering that may occur. To enable this feature, you must activate the
AudioOutDelay Registry key.
1Open the Registry Editor in Windows.
2Navigate to one of the following folders:
If you are using a 32-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Gene-
tec\OmnicastArchiver4.x\Extensions\{Extension Name}.
If you are using a 64-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFT-
WARE\Wow6432Node\Genetec\OmnicastArchiver4.x\Extensions\{Extension Name}.
3Double-click the AudioOutDelay REG_DWORD.
4In the Value data field, type 400 ms.
5Click OK.
6Repeat Step 2 to Step 5 for each extension.
Restart Omnicast services to apply your changes.

Arecont
genetec.com | Omnicast Video Unit Configuration Guide 4.8 SR3 6
EN.100.007-V4.8.C3.(1)
Configure picture settings
You can configure the following picture settings in the Specific Settings tab of Arecont cameras
in Config Tool:
•Sharpness. Adjusts the image crispness.
•Blue. Adjusts the blue tint. This setting changes the camera's automatic white balance. Valid
value are from -64 to +64 for panoramic models, and -10 to +10 for others camera models.
NOTE It takes a few seconds for the camera to adjust to the new setting.
•Red. Adjusts the red tint. This setting changes the camera's automatic white balance. Valid
value are from -64 to +64 for panoramic models, and -10 to +10 for others camera models.
NOTE It takes a few seconds for the camera to adjust to the new setting.
Configure illumination settings
You can configure the following illumination settings in the Specific Settings tab of Arecont
cameras in Config Tool:
•Illumination mode. Adjusts the camera’s white balance settings based on the illumination
in the scene. From the drop-down list, choose one of the following options:
Auto. The camera’s white balance is adjusted automatically.
Indoor. Assumes the camera is located indoors with tungsten or fluorescent lighting.
Outdoor. Assumes the camera is located outdoors with natural lighting.
Mix. Assumes the camera is located indoors with natural lighting.

Configure exposure settings
You can configure the following exposure settings in the Specific Settings tab of Arecont cameras
in Config Tool:
•Auto exposure. When this option is ON, it maintains the user-defined image brightness
under changing lighting conditions.
•Exposure Window. If the camera is not a panoramic model, you can specify the auto expo-
sure window size and position one of the following ways:
Enter the Top left pixel and Down right pixel coordinates, and click Apply.
Select the window size using the Zone selection window:
iNext to the Auto Exposure setting, click Select.
ii Click the image snapshot, and drag the green zone to the size you want.
NOTE If you have a cropped field of view, then the exposure window must be contained
within the cropped field of view. For more information about setting a cropped field of
view, see "Configure Arecont cropped field of view" on page 5.
iii You ca n Clear your selection, or click to refresh the image.
iv Click OK.
•Low light mode. Adjusts the exposure to increase performance under low light conditions.
Exposure time is the amount of time the sensor is exposed to light. Short exposures result in
less light, creating darker images, and longer exposures create brighter images.

Arecont
genetec.com | Omnicast Video Unit Configuration Guide 4.8 SR3 8
EN.100.007-V4.8.C3.(1)
High Speed. Allows you to set a fixed exposure time from the Short Exposure slider.
NOTE Low values reduce motion blur, but may result in noisier video. Make sure you have
enough illumination to improve the image quality.
Speed. Enables short exposures ranging from 10 to 80ms. The exposure time increases in
low light conditions.
Balanced. Enables medium exposures ranging from 20 to 80ms in low light conditions,
resulting in a higher exposure time.
Quality. Enables longer exposures ranging from 40 to 200ms. Motion blur may increase,
but video contains less noise under low light conditions.
Moon Light. Enables exposures of up to 500 ms if necessary. This mode results in more
motion blur for fast moving objects.
•Short Exposure. Sets the fixed exposure time when you set the Low light mode to High
Speed.
Configure day/night settings
You can configure the following day/night settings in the Properties tab of Arecont unit entities
in Config Tool.
NOTE These settings are only supported on dual-sensor cameras (for example, the AV135 and
A3130), and cameras equipped with an IR filter (DN and IR models).
•Day/Night mode. Determines whether the camera operates in daytime or nighttime
modes, which adjusts the amount of light.

Arecont
genetec.com | Omnicast Video Unit Configuration Guide 4.8 SR3 9
EN.100.007-V4.8.C3.(1)
Auto. Allows the camera to switch from daytime to nighttime conditions automatically,
based on the Switching Gain and To ggle G uard settings.
Day. Forces Day mode, and disables Night mode.
Night. Forces Night mode, and disables Day mode.
•Switching Gain. Determines the level of darkness required for the camera to switch from
Day to Night mode when the Day/Night mode is set to Auto. Small values cause the camera
to switch to Night mode when there is still a lot light in the scene, and larger values cause
the camera to stay in Day mode much longer.
TIP For AV3130 and AV3135 units, you can set the gain from 0 to 18, and for other units you
can set it from 64 to 512.
•Tog g l e Guard. Adjusts the level of brightness required to switch from Night to Day mode.
This setting should be adjusted to prevent the camera from toggling modes during transi-
tional lighting periods.
TIP Setting this option to 0corresponds to the camera switching at 100%. For AV3130 and
AV3135 units you can set the toggle guard value from 0 to 6, and for other units you can set
it from 1 to 4.
Configure flicker control
The flicker control feature prevents flicker caused by lightning power line frequency.
NOTES
•This setting has no effect when the dominant light is sunlight.
•This setting loses effect if the camera’s Low Light Mode exposure option is set to High
Speed, and the Short Exposure value does not match the power line frequency. The Short
Exposure value matches the power line frequency when it is close to a multiple of 8.3ms for
60 Hz, and a multiple of 10ms for 50Hz.
For information about configuring Arecont exposure settings, see "Configuring Arecont
camera image settings" on page 5.

Upgrading Arecont unit firmware
To upgrade the firmware for Arecont units, you must use the Arecont Firmware Loader. Before
you upgrade, you must ensure that the unit is not streaming video. If the unit is streaming video,
remove the schedule from the camera.
Configuring Arecont H.264 units
To use key frame-related functions (such as still alarms) with Arecont H.264 cameras, you must
set a high frame rate, or modify the frame interval between key frames. To change the interval
setting, use the following URL: http://<camera.ip>/setreg?page=3&reg=21&val=<value meant
to replace the 50>. For example, if your camera IP is 10.1.24.35 and you want to change the
interval setting to five, you would type: http://10.1.24.35/setreg?page=3&reg=21&val=5.
NOTE If you are using an Arecont SurroundVideo IP Camera, you must replace the 21 in the
URL with 100 (http://10.1.24.35/setreg?page=3&reg=100&val=5).
