Connection
Accessing the Camera
The camera can be accessed directly from its web page or using Vicon’s PRONTO Device Manager,
which can be found on Vicon’s website. Note that when accessing the camera for the first time, a
message will display to reset the password.
Since this is a network-based camera, an IP address must be assigned. The camera’s default IP
address is obtained automatically through a DHCP server in your network; be sure to enable DHCP in
"Network Settings." If DHCP is not available, the camera will use APIPA (link-local address); IPv4 link-
local addresses are assigned from address block 169.254.0.0/16 (169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255).
Connecting from a Computer
Connecting from a Computer
Make sure the camera and your computer are in the same subnet. Check whether the network
available between the camera and the computer by executing ping the default IP address. To do this,
simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the “Start Menu”, select “Program”. Then select
“Accessories” and choose “Command Prompt”), and type “Ping” and then type in your IP address. If the
message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.
Start a browser, e.g., Chrome, and enter IP address. A login window as shown below should pop up.
In the window, enter the default user name: ADMIN; it is required to change the password for added
security, which requires at least 8 characters including 1 uppercase letter, 1 special character,
alphanumeric characters to log in.
Further administration on the unit can be found in "Configuration."

After clicking “Configuration,” the screen will display as below, with several menu options on the left
side for users to configure. These will be explained one by one in the following chapters.
1. Encode
1.1 Encode
Figure: Encode Settings
Profile and Streams
Profile
Current Profile: 1/2/3
It is strongly recommended to define different settings under each stream to maintain better video
transmission for varied network environments and applications. By default, there are 3 profiles, and
each profile contains 3 streams for individual configuration. The detailed configurations for each
stream are described in detail below.
Corridor: On/Off (Camera Dependent)
Vertically oriented scenes, e.g., sidewalk, aisle, hallway/corridor, require more details in vertical areas,
so the common 16:9 aspect ratio is not appropriate, and a large portion of bandwidth is wasted in
landscape field-of-view. In order to optimize the image result for corridor-like applications, click “On” to
enable this function; the image will be rotated right 90 degrees to a 9:16 aspect ratio that perfectly fits
portrait-like scenarios, reducing bandwidth and storage consumption.
Streams
Compression
As an example, compression options for the 2 MP models are 1920×1080, 1280×960, 1280×720,
800×600, 640×480, 640x360, 320x240. Higher resolution values are model dependent and frame rates
correspond to the resolution, streams and codec selected.
Note

Refer to the datasheet for the camera model or the “Appendix: Product Comparison-
Max resolution & frame rate” for details.
DSCP: 0 ~ 63
To classify and manage network traffic and provide quality of service (QoS) on today’s IP networks,

V2000/V2100 User Guide

Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a computer networking architecture that specifies a
resource allocation to each device on a priority-based pattern for ideal bandwidth management. The
bigger the value, the higher priority it will be.
Frame Rate: 30 ~ 1
Choose desired frames per second from the dropdown menu.
Rate Control: CBR/VBR/CVBR
Choose one of the Rate Control modes depending on different situations. Higher bit rate value will
result in better image quality with bigger file size and therefore consume more network bandwidth,
while lower bit rate value has less loading on network bandwidth due to smaller file size but with
inferior image quality. Note that if iStream is selected in Video, Enhanced Codec, this will be grayed
out.
CBR Bit Rate/Max Bit Rate: 64 ~ 20000 for H.264 codec, 64~8000 for H.265 codec
The default bit rate synchronizes with the maximum resolution, e.g., 2MP@30fps model has
4000 bps as default. It is recommended to use the default bit rate, as it provides a better balance
between image quality and network bandwidth.
When a bit rate value lower than default bit rate is selected, the image quality may deteriorate.
When selecting a bit rate higher than default bit rate, there is a correlation between resolution and
selected bit rate. Higher maximum resolution cameras are better suited to selection of bit rate higher
than default bit rate than lower maximum resolution cameras.
Note

CBR Bit Rate and Max Bit Rate options are available only when H.264 or H.265 codec
is selected.
Quality Level: VBR; MJPEG: Low/Mid/High
Select the Quality Level number from 1 to 10 for H.264 and H.265 Codec with VBR Rate Control
selected, or Quality Level Low/Mid/High for MJPEG Codec. “High” or “larger value” produces the
highest image quality but increases the file size. By contrast, “low” or “smaller value,” produces the
lowest image quality with decreased file size and network bandwidth consumption. For CVBR, select
the limitation on the bit rate.
Codec: MJPEG/H.264/H.265
MJPEG: Each video frame is individually compressed as a single jpeg image with full-scale contents
and can be retouched easily. However, this results in larger file sizes and, therefore, tends to lose
frames under limited network bandwidth.
H.264: This widespread video compression format adopts intelligent technology to record variations
in each frame rather than record each full frame. As a result, less network bandwidth is required,
and file size tends to be smaller compared with the previous MJPEG codec.
H.265: Also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), H.265, the latest video compression
standard, provides almost double the compression ratio at the same level of video quality
compared with H.264. It efficiently reduces the redundant areas among different frames by using
pattern comparison, enhanced difference-coding areas and variable-block-size segmentation.
Profile: High Profile/Main Profile
There are 2 different kinds of profiles for H.264 codec and 1 profile for H.265 codec compression ratios,
where the protocol for each type varies. H.264 Codec supports Main Profile and High Profile profiles.
H.265 Codec supports Main Profile only. Users can select the preferred one for their applications or
contact IT personnel for more information.
SVC-T
SVC-T supports the FPS adjustment on the client side, for example, users can adjust the FPS to 7.5, 15,
30, etc. Select Off or adjustment; it is recommended to select Off.

V2000/V2100 User Guide

GOP: 1 ~ 60
GOP stands for Group of Picture length. Select the GOP length number from 1 to 60 for 60 Hz camera
type. Smaller number means the distance between 2 I-frames is smaller, which needs more network
bandwidth while having better image quality. By contrast, a larger number consumes less bandwidth
but, in an unstable network connection, video display may not be smooth. The available length
number options of GOP will vary based on frame rate settings.
1.2 Dewarp for V2360W Panoramic Camera Only
Dewarp is a process of perspective correction of an image to reverse the effects of geometric
distortions caused by the camera lens. According to the mounting type, the algorithm of Dewarp will
process image properly.

This section allows a user to control the settings pertaining to exposure mode and day/night modes.
The screen will vary depending on the selections made.
Basic Settings
Figure: Exposure Basic Settings
Exposure Mode: Auto/Flickerless/Shutter Priority/Manual
There are 4 modes to select from, which are described below.
Auto: With certain pre-settings, before taking videos, the camera automatically determines the
correct exposure for pictures without user input settings.
Flickerless: This mode allows the camera to override the shutter speed, which helps to avoid
interference of fluorescent lights in some environments.
Shutter Priority: It enables user to select a specific shutter speed for adjustment of aperture,
ensuring correct and proper exposure.
Manual: A mode that allows user to manually control both gain value and shutter speed. It is
recommended that only an experienced administrator use this mode.
True WDR
This technology is intended to provide clear images even under backlight circumstances where
intensity of illumination can vary widely, for example when both extreme bright and dark areas exist
simultaneously in the field-of-view. True WDR is a sensor-based technology that achieves proper
exposure levels by capturing short and long exposures individually and combining them into a single
frame to render a superior detail of image quality. Note that when True WDR is enabled, the maximum
frame rate will be automatically decreased to 30fps if it was selected above 30fps originally. The
Exposure Mode setting becomes disabled when True WDR is checked.
Enhanced WDR Level
Enhanced WDR, available when “True WDR” is activated, facilitates better quality of details within both
bright and dark areas. This further strengthens and reinforces the optimal image result based on a
perfect combination of both True WDR and Enhanced WDR. Slide to set enhancement level; the
higher the number the better the enhancement of WDR level.
Max Shutter Time: 1/8000 ~ 1
Select the maximum shutter time.
Note

Max Shutter Time is only available when exposure mode “Auto” is selected.
