ALI-NS8014VR IP PTZ Camera Installation and Setup Guide

SECTION 1: OVERVIEW

• 

3D Positioning

: In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the video image and drag a 

rectangle area in the lower right direction, then the mini PTZ camera system will move the position to the center and allow the 
rectangle area to zoom in. Use the left key of mouse to drag a rectangle area in the upper left direction to move the position to 
the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom out.

• 

Proportional Pan/Tilt

: Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds according to the 

amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the 
image from moving too fast on the live view image when there is a large amount of zoom.

• 

Auto Focus

: The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.

• 

Day/Night Auto Switch

: The mini PTZ cameras deliver color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night, the 

mini PTZ cameras switch to night mode and deliver black and white images with high quality.

• 

Slow Shutter

: In slow shutter mode, the shutter speed will automatically slow down in low illumination conditions to 

maintain clear video images by extending the exposure time. The feature can be enabled or disabled.

• 

Backlight Compensation (BLC)

: If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be seen 

clearly. The BLC (Backlight Compensation) function can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this 
causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.

• 

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

: The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images even 

under back light circumstances. 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 and provide clear images with details.

• 

White Balance (WB)

: White balance can remove the unrealistic color casts. White balance is the white rendition function of 

the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.

• 

Patrol

: A patrol is a memorized series of pre-defined preset function. The scanning speed between two presets and the dwell 

time at the preset are programmable.

• 

Pattern

: A pattern is a memorized series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions. By default the focus and iris are in auto 

status during the pattern is being memorized.

• 

Park Action

: This feature allows the mini PTZ camera to start a predefined action automatically after a period of inactivity.

• 

User Management

: The mini PTZ camera allows you to edit users with different levels of permission, in the admin login 

status. Multiple users are allowed to access and control the same network mini PTZ camera via network simultaneously.

• 

3D Digital Noise Reduction

: Comparing with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D digital noise reduction function 

processes the noise between two frames besides processing the noise in one frame. The noise will be much less and the video 
will be clearer.
