Overview
The Nextiva S2700e series contains high-resolution, IP mini-dome cameras with triple axis
lens rotation for flexible installation, and low lux sensitivity for crisp clear images in a
variety of lighting conditions.
Designed for color or day/night use, the S2700e series delivers dual stream, DVD-quality
video at up to 4CIF at up to 30 frames per second in NTSC (25 in PAL). The day/night
function ensures around the clock imaging performance; in low light conditions the camera
automatically adjusts to black and white mode for optimal image clarity.
Many compression modes (also called codecs—coder/encoder) are available: a proprietary
MPEG-4-based mode, the MPEG-4 ISO 14496-2 compliant mode, and MJPEG (Motion
JPEG).
You can use the S2700e series edge devices in point-to-point contexts as well as with video
management and storage applications. Furthermore, they enable configuration, video
viewing, and maintenance from web browsers. Here is the indoor model:

Security
Every camera comes with a unique SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate for securing its IP
link. SSL is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of IP message
transmission. If enabled, the SSL protocol secures I/O and proprietary VSIP communication
data. It does not apply to video transmission.
Video
The available video frame rates of each encoder IP camera are:
NTSC—1 to 7, 10, 15, or 30 frames per second (fps)
PAL—1 to 6, 8, 12, or 25 fps
The composite video signal of the camera is sent to two separate encoders. You can
customize each encoder to meet your system needs, for instance in terms of frame rate and
resolution. Here are typical scenarios regarding encoder use:
Each video encoder of an S2700e camera can have the following performances:
Scenario Encoder 1 Encoder 2
point-to-point point-to-point unused
unused point-to-point
point-to-point and web interface web viewing at rate A point-to-point at rate B
web viewing and
point-to-point at rate C unused
video management software view at rate D record at rate E
Note: You should not use the web interface and a video management software at the
same time to avoid configuration conflicts.
