2.2 Description
The TrafficPTZ Ultimo is a high-precision full-featured network PTZ camera providing high-
quality, high-definition images. The tightly integrated 30x optical zoom, autofocus lens makes
for the easiest installation and remote adjustment.
Construction
The accurate top-mount construction ensures vision beyond the horizon and continuous
rotation on the horizontal axis, thereby combining high speed and absolute tracking accuracy,
both in manual and in patrol mode. The TrafficPTZ Ultimo is temperature-hardened for
demanding applications in cold or hot environments.
Multistream high definition
The TrafficPTZ Ultimo cameras have multiple stream capability for simultaneous streaming of
one or more H.264 streams, combined with MJPEG. Two independent H.264/MJPEG encoders
can generate full-HD 1080p video streams at full frame rate. Optionally, a third encoder can
be configured for MPEG-4 or MPEG-2, to guarantee backwards compatibility with many legacy
control systems Multiple combinations of resolution and frame rate can be configured to
satisfy different live viewing and recording scenarios.
Open standards
The careful assembly and compliance to open standards of the TrafficPTZ Ultimo ensure that
the camera integrates with the most common VMSes out of the box. Being ONVIF Profile S
compliant, the camera is supported even if your software does not have a dedicated driver. If
you wish to incorporate the camera’s special features in your dedicated client software, TKH
Security's SPI offers an easy HTTP API for guaranteed interoperability. This makes these
cameras outstanding candidates for projects which require customisation.
Day/Night, backlight compensation, and wide dynamic range
The TrafficPTZ Ultimo provides automatic day/night functionality for use in low light situations.
Backlight compensation enhances image visibility in difficult lighting situations. This ensures
quality pictures at all times. Wide dynamic range solves the problem of overlit images by
taking the better of two pictures with different light references.

6.1 Management
Camera Management is where you can give the camera a name, change the aspect ratio, set
the video output mode, and turn on mirrored horizontal view, digital zoom, and image
stabilisation.
Name
Type a unique, descriptive name in the Name box so that you can easily identify the camera
on the network. The name can be enabled as an overlay (see "Overlays" on page 21) so
that it is visible in the web interface previews and in video streams transmitted by the
camera.
Aspect ratio
This setting lets you adjust the proportional relationship between the width and the height of
the preview images shown on the TrafficPTZ Ultimo webpages.
Output mode
The camera can stream high-definition video (1080p) at 25 or 30 frames per second (fps).
Note that the mode selected here determines the available frame rates on the Streaming
Profiles page (see "Streaming Profiles" on page 24).
Mirror horizontal
This function flips the image horizontally to create a mirrored effect.
Nice to know
In a control room, this function can be used to make traffic go in the same
direction on all monitors, which is less fatiguing for the operators.
Digital zoom makes it possible to zoom further in digitally on the image when the camera has
reached the full optical zoom level. The camera enlarges the area at the centre of the image
and trims away the edges. The image resolution and image quality are reduced when you use
digital zoom.

6.2.1 Exposure
Exposure is the amount of light received by the image sensor and is determined by how wide
you open the lens diaphragm (iris adjustment), by how long you keep the sensor exposed
(shutter speed), and by other exposure parameters. The unit features both automatic and
manual exposure adjustment.
Exposure mode
Use this list to select the exposure mode.
●Auto
Shutter speed, iris and gain are controlled automatically based on the ambient light level.
●Shutter priority
The shutter speed takes main control of the exposure. Iris and gain are adjusted
automatically.
●Iris priority
The size of the iris opening (aperture) takes main control of the exposure. The shutter
time and gain are adjusted automatically. The iris can be set manually: Range: F1.6~F14.
●Bright
The shutter speed keeps its current value. Using the Bright slider, you can set a
combination of gain and iris. This gives you a single control to adjust the exposure.
●Manual
Shutter speed, iris and gain can be adjusted independently according to the ambient light
level.
Actual shutter
Shows the current shutter time with the selected exposure mode.
Maximum shutter time
Use this list to adjust the maximum shutter time. Shorter shutter times reduce motion blur,
but they admit less light to the sensor. This function is available in exposure modes Auto and
Iris priority.
Auto slow shutter
Select Enable to allow shutter times slower than the frame time. With this function enabled,
the camera lowers the frame rate of the camera in low-light conditions. This reduces the noise
level, but results in fewer frames per second. This function is available in exposure mode
Auto.
Actual iris
Shows the actual aperture size of the lens (iris) with the selected exposure mode.
Actual gain
Shows the current amount of gain with the selected exposure mode.
Maximum auto gain
Use this slider to adjust the maximum gain that can be used by the camera. A higher gain
level results in more noise in the image. This function is available in exposure modes Auto,
Shutter priority, and Iris priority.
Camera
16

EV compensation
Use this function to compensate the exposure value (EV).
● Selecting a positive value produces a brighter picture but it may cause overexposure. You
can also consider using the Highlight correction function to get more brightness.
● Selecting a selecting a negative value produces a darker picture but it may cause
underexposure. You can also consider using the Wide dynamic range function to get more
darkness.
This function is available in exposure modes Auto, Shutter priority, and Iris priority.
Wide dynamic range
The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images when there
are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view. WDR balances
the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details. To prevent the
loss of scene details, bright areas are not saturated and dark areas are not too dark. This
function is available in exposure mode Auto.
Backlight compensation
Backlight compensation (BLC) brings more detail to the dark areas of an object when a strong
light source shining on it from behind makes it too dark to be seen clearly. To prevent the
object from appearing as a silhouette, the exposure of the entire image is adjusted to achieve
a usable light level for the object in the foreground. This function is available in mode Auto.
Highlight correction
A small but very bright part of the image (for example, headlights of a car or the reflection of
the sun in a window) can cause the entire image to become underexposed. Setting the
Highlight correction function to Low, Mid or High compensates for exposure by strong sources
of lights to enhance the overall image quality. This makes it possible to easily read the
number of vehicles and number plates in an indoor parking area or outdoors at night. This
function is available in modes Auto, Shutter priority, and Iris priority.
Manual gain
Use this slider to adjust the gain. Increasing the gain results in a brighter picture but also
produces more picture noise. This function is available in exposure mode Manual.
Manual iris
Use this slider to adjust the iris. Increasing this value reduces the amount of light reaching
the sensor of the camera, but increases the depth of field of the image. This function is
available in exposure modes Manual and Iris priority.
Manual shutter
Use this list to adjust the shutter speed. Decreasing this value causes the camera sensor to
pick up less light, but reduces motion blur. This function is available in exposure modes
Manual and Shutter priority.
Manual brightness
Aided by the visual feedback from the camera view, use this slider to adjust the gain and iris
values in one go. The Actual gain and Actual iris values are updated as you move the
slider. This function is available in exposure mode Bright.
Camera
17

6.2.2 Focus
Auto focus mode
The Auto focus (AF) function provides two modes to automatically adjust the focus position.
●Normal
This is the normal mode for AF operations.
●Interval
Use Auto focus interval mode to set the interval between AF movements. If there are
frequent changes in the camera scene you may want to set a longer interval to prevent
frequent AF movements. The time intervals for AF movements and for the timing of the
stops can be set in one-second increments using the Auto focus move time setting. The
default setting for both is set to five seconds.
Auto focus sensitivity
The switching of AF sensitivity can be set.
●Normal
Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this when shooting a subject that moves
frequently. Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.
●Low
Improves the stability of the focus. When the lighting level is low, the AF function does not
take effect, even though the brightness varies, contributing to a stable image.
6.2.3 White Balance
A camera needs to measure the quality of a light source and create a reference colour
temperature in order to calculate all the other colours. The unit for measuring this ratio is in
degree Kelvin (K). Users can select one of the White Balance control modes, according to the
operating environment. The table below provides the colour temperatures of some light
sources as a general reference.
Light source Colour temperature in °K
Cloudy sky 6000 to 8000
Noon sun and clear sky 6500
Household lighting 2500 to 3000
75 W Light bulb 2820
Candle flame 1200 to 1500
White balance
A variety of white balance modes is available to correct the colour of different types of light.
When you select a mode, the effect of the setting is visible in the camera view and the Actual
white balance blue and Actual white balance red values (unavailable in Manual mode) are also
updated.
●Auto
Using colour information from the entire screen, the camera detects a colour temperature
range and calculates an optimal white balance. It corrects the colours using the colour
temperature radiating from a black subject based on a range of values from 2500 K to
7500 K.
Camera
18

●Auto tracing
The camera continuously adjusts the colour balance to changes in the colour temperature
which may occur. Auto tracing is suitable for environments with light sources ranging from
2000 K to 10000 K.
●Auto outdoor
This is an auto white balance mode specifically for outdoor environments. It allows you to
capture images with a natural white balance in the morning and evening.
●Auto sodium lamp
The camera automatically compensates for sodium vapour lighting to restore objects to
their original colour.
●Auto outdoor sodium lamp
This is an auto white balance mode specifically for outdoor sodium vapour lighting, as used
in street lamps, for example.
●Indoor
3200 K Base mode. The camera adjusts the white balance to a colour temperature range
suitable for indoor lighting conditions.
●Outdoor
5800 K Base mode. The camera adjusts the white balance to a colour temperature range
suitable for outdoor lighting conditions.
●Sodium lamp
This is a fixed white balance mode specifically for sodium vapour lamps.
●Manual
Aided by the visual feedback from the camera view, you can change the white balance
value manually by adjusting the White balance blue and White balance red sliders.
White balance blue
Adjusts the white balance blue level. This slider is available in mode Manual.
White balance red
Adjusts the white balance red level. This slider is available in mode Manual.
Adjust white balance
Adjusts and fixes the white balance according to the scene the camera sees at the moment.
This function is best for situations with minimal scene changes and continuous lighting. The
function is available in mode Manual.
6.2.4 Day/Night
An infrared (IR) cut-filter can be removed from the image path for increased sensitivity in
low-light environments. The ICR can automatically engage depending on the ambient light,
allowing the camera to be effective in day/night environments.
IR cut filter
The IR cut filter can be set to Auto, On, and Off.
●Auto
Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings needed for attaching or removing the
IR cut filter. With a set level of darkness, the IR cut filter is automatically disabled (ICR
Off), and the infrared sensitivity is increased. With a set level of brightness, the IR cut
filter is automatically enabled (ICR On).
●On
Camera
19

The IR cut filter is enabled. Use this mode when there is sufficient light (day mode).
●Off

In dark conditions (night time, iris extremely closed or extremely short shutter times), the
gain of the camera will increase. Use the IR cut filter threshold slider to determine at which
gain level the IR cut filter should be removed to allow more light to reach the camera sensor.
High sensitivity
Increases the maximum gain, which makes it possible to produce a brighter output even in a
darker environment.

You can control the level of noise reduction with the Noise filter strength slider.
Noise filter strength
Sets the level of noise reduction. The noise reduction effect is applied in levels based on the
gain and this setting value determines the limit of the effect. In bright conditions, changing
