Audio Monitoring Disclaimer
US Code, Title 18. Sec. 2510 & 2511 (2) (d) prohibits audio monitoring unless there
are public signs posted giving clear indication that the communication is being
monitored. Therefore, it is required to exhibit posting of signage, a disclaimer, on
the public entrances and exits, notifying all that “Audio Monitoring on These Prem-
ises.”
Sunba provides such warning decal along with every IP camera. It is the responsi-
bility of user to clearly post the decal and verify State law to guarantee any deploy-
ment compliance.

WARNING! It is important to perform a pre-installation test (bench-test) indoor prior to
outdoor installation.
The camera can be powered by a DC12V power adapter (came with the package) and transmit video data
using a network cable to a router/switch.
The camera can also be connected to a PoE injector/switch which would let the network cable supply both
power and data connection.
Sunba PTZ camera requires the PoE adapter (switch/injector) to support IEEE 802.3at standard, which is
also known as PoE+.
Sunba IP camera comes with a built-in micro SD card slot that can store videos and snapshots.
Insert the TF card as directed by the
arrow.
Remove the 4 screws to take o the
camera back cover.
Remove the 4 screws located on the
top of the camera.
Open the top cover, and insert the TF
card as directed by the arrow.

Note: Auto LAN search only works if the http port of the camera remains unchanged (default 80). If the
http port has been changed, the camera can only be added manually with its corresponding new port.
You can add device by Auto Search in LAN if your smartphone is connected to
the same network as the camera. Select the device that you want to add.

The IP camera should automatically display under “Online Device” on the lower section. Select the
camera, and click “+Add” to add the camera to the upper section.

The HTTP port has default value of 80, and if you change
the default HTTP port, the url for logging into the camera

Select Static from the Obtain IP Address drop-down list.
Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Defualt Gateway address
you would like to modify. Make sure the IP address of the camera is
unique on the network.
For SUNBA Performance Series IPC, HTTP port is equivalent to the ONVIF port. Please note
all ports must have unique value to each other.
2Aer the configuration of E-mail, when alarms are riggered, the
camera will send messages with alarm snapshots to the specified
E-mail address.
3Configure relevant parameters of the sender and the recipient. You
may end a test email aer setting the recipient address. The following
table describes some major parameters.
When enabled, the e-mail will be encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security)
or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to protect privacy. irst it tries to send through an SSL
connection. If the SMTP server supports SSL, the e-mail will be sent through the
SSL connection; otherwise, it tries to send using STARTTLS.
When enabled, the e-mail will contain 3 instant snapshots as attachment accord-
ing to the number you set via Capture Interval.
Username and password of the registration email address. The password allows
the following special characters \ / : * ? ’ ” < > | % &

Set the IP address and port for the FTP server,
username and password used to upload
images to the FTP server, select Upload

Aer the configuration of FTP, you will be able to upload snapshots from network cameras to the specified
FTP server.
Restrictions on FTP entries:
1.The FTP server must be in numeric format (IP) and doesn’t support domain as input.
2.The password of FTP doesn’t support special characters.
Click Setup > Storage > FTP.
There are two sections of FTP upload.
The general FTP configuration is for snapshots (except for face detection) saved through the general alarm
events. The smart FTP configuration is for uploading snapshots taken from smart events such as face
capture.
3Set the path for saving snapshots on the FTP
server and the file name format. For example,
set path as Preset No.\\IP Address\\-
Date\\Hour(s), and set file name as Preset
No.-PTZ Zoom-PTZ Latitude-PTZ Longitude.-

Parameter Configuration
Frame Rate

Image Quality
I Frame
Interval
GOP
SVC
Three options: H.265, H.264 and MJPEG.
Note:
The bit rate changes to the default when you change the setting between H.264
and H. 265. The default bit rate for H.265 is half of that for H.264.
Video Image Quality cannot be set when Video Compression is set to H.265 or
H.264. When Compression set to MJPEG, only three frame rates are available: 1, 3
and 5; and Bit Rate, I Frame Interval, Smoothing and U-Code cannot be set.
When Encoding Mode is VBR, you can move the slider to adjust quality
level for images. Moving the slider toward Bit Rate decreases the bit rate and may
aect image quality. Moving the slider toward Quality increases the bit rate and
improves image quality.
Frame rate for encoding images. Unit: FPS (frame per second).
Note:
To ensure image quality, note that the frame rate should not be greater than the
reciprocal of shutter speed.
4.Video and Image Setting
Click Setup > Video & Audio > Video.
4.1 Video Setting

You can set video parameters that your camera supports. If available,
you may also enable sub-stream and third stream as required.
CBR: Constant Bit Rate, which means that the camera transmits data at a constant
data rate.
VBR: Variable Bit Rate, which means that the camera adjusts the bit rate dynami-
cally according to image quality.
Interval at which an I frame is encoded. Normally, a shorter I frame interval oers
better image quality but consumes more bandwidth.
Group Of Pictures in MPEG video encoding. This parameter specifies the order in
which intra-frames (I frame) and inter-frames are arranged.
SVC (Scalable Video Coding) can reduce storage without compromising playback
quality.

In a poor network environment, you can enable smoothing to get more fluent
video.
Use the sliders to change the settings. You may also
enter values directly. The following table describes
some major parameters.
Item Description
Brightness Set the degree of brightness of
images.

between the blackest pixel and
the whitest pixel.

U-Code
- 09 -
Basic Mode: The actual bit rate is around 3/4 of the set bit rate.
Advanced Mode: The actual bit rate is around 1/2 of the set bit rate.
Note:
When U-Code is enabled, video compression only supports H.264 and H.265.
MJPEG is not supported.
When U-Code is enabled, the capture mode does not support frame rates higher
than 30.
Parameter Description
Exposure Select the correct exposure mode to achieve the desired exposure eect.
Automatic: The camera automatically adjusts exposure according to the
environment.
