64 PCs or decoders can be connected to the ENVI IP Camera, network bandwidth can limit the
maximum connections.
. Functionally, the central monitoring system (CMS) software that is provided can replace
the decoder
Multicast Mode
If the network supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used to receive video effectively
from an ENVI IP2 Camera using a single streaming of video.
Relay
Video can be re-transmitted from a center to another center. This arrangement is useful when the network
bandwidth to the site is limited and more than one center wants to monitor the site.

PC client can send PT commands to the external equipment via the serial port.
When a decoder system, instead of a PC client, is connected to the ENVI IP2 Camera, the serial port
and that of the decoder system works in pass-through mode. That is, data from one port is delivered to
the other port, and vice versa.
3. Connecting Sensor and Alarm
Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.
4. Connecting Power
After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC connector to the
system.
5. Does it Work?
Once the power is supplied to the camera, it will start booting. The system will boot up to an operating
mode after approximately 40-60 seconds. The green LED on the Ethernet port will flash indicating the
system is ready.
The software provided on the disc called ENVI VMS allows you to check the IP address and other
network details of the camera.

Encode
Input Format
Choose video type to be used between composite NTSC or composite.
Resolution
Selectable video compression resolution:
NTSC: 720X480, 720x240, 352X480, 352X240, 176X120
PAL: 720X576, 720X288, 352X576, 352X288, 176X144
Frame rate
Determine the maximum number of frames of video images to compress. The frame rate of
transmitted video can be affected by the network bandwidth limitation.
Preference
Preference in video compression and transmission: With „Bit rate‟ selected, the video
compression will be effected by the „Bit rate‟ value entered. With „Quality‟ selected, the video
compression will be effected by the quality of image selected. Therefore, „Bit rate‟ and „Quality‟
correspond to CBR (Constant Bit rate) and VBR (Variable Bit rate) respectively.
Quality
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up
bandwidth for increased activity in the image and less for lower activity in the monitored area.
Bit rate
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) allows you to set a fixed target bit rate that consumes a predictable
amount of bandwidth. The bit rate would normally need to be increased for increased image
activity, but in this case it is constrained. The frame rate and image quality are affected
negatively.
I-Frame Interval
Possible values are between 0 and 255. There will be no I-frames if 0 is selected.
H.264 Profile
Select H.264 Profile: High Profile or Baseline Profile.
The standard defines various sets of capabilities, which are referred to as profiles, targeting
specific classes of applications.
- High Profile (HiP)

ENVI Series IP Configuration Manual
________________________________________________________________________________
19
HIP is the primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for high-
definition television applications (for example, this is the profile adopted by the Blu-ray Disc
storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).
- Baseline Profile (BP)
BP is primarily for low-cost applications that require additional data loss robustness. This profile
is used in some video conferencing and mobile applications. This profile includes all features
that are supported in the Constrained Baseline Profile, plus three additional features that can
be used for loss robustness (or for other purposes such as low-delay, multi-point, video stream
compositing).
Dual Encode
Use Dual Encode
Both H.264 and MJPEG are supported. Secondary Video can be used on a Live View window.
Dual Compression Algorithm
