Intelligent Video Analysis
After only 20 minutes you can miss 90% of the activity
on a screen. Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) assists by
alerting you when predefined alarms are triggered. By
smartly combining up to 8 IVA rules, complex tasks are
made easy and false alarms are reduced to a minimum.
IVA also adds sense and structure to your video by
adding metadata. This enables you to quickly retrieve
the relevant images from hours of stored video.
Metadata can also be used to deliver irrefutable
forensic evidence or to optimize business processes
based on people counting or crowd density
information.
With IVA, our focus is to alert you when needed and
help you quickly retrieve the correct data.
intelligent Auto Exposure
Fluctuations in backlight and front light can ruin your
images. To achieve the perfect picture in every
situation, intelligent Auto Exposure (iAE) automatically
adjusts the exposure of the camera. It offers superb
front light compensation and incredible backlight
compensation by automatically adapting to changing
light conditions.
With iAE, our focus is to provide you with perfect
exposure every time.
intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
Quiet scenes with little or no movement require a
lower bitrate. By intelligently distinguishing between
noise and relevant information, intelligent Dynamic
Noise Reduction (iDNR) reduces bitrate by up to 50%.
Because noise is reduced at the source during image
capture, the lower bitrate does not compromise on
video quality.
iDNR adjusts spatial and temporal filtering (3DNR)
based on intelligent analysis of the scene content.
Motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF)
reduces motion blur normally associated with
standard temporal filtering. This maintains image
quality of fast moving objects while still optimizing
bitrate.
With iDNR, our focus is to significantly reduce storage
costs, and lessen network strain by only using
bandwidth when needed.
Area-based encoding
Area-based encoding is another feature which reduces
bandwidth. Compression parameters for up to eight
user-definable regions can be set. This allows
uninteresting regions to be highly compressed, leaving
more bandwidth for important parts of the scene.

Selectable resolution and aspect ratio
The camera has three basic application variants that
can be chosen at start-up to provide the best possible
performance for typical applications:
• 5MP (16:9)
• 5MP (4:3)
• 1080p resolution
The 5MP variants can be used in applications where
the highest resolution possible is required. The
1080p30 (16:9) variant is for applications that require
extra sensitivity and dynamic range.
Each of these variants selects the best possible tuning
parameters for the application so that you get the best
performance possible from your camera.
User modes
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that
allows fast and easy configuration. Nine configurable
user modes are provided with the best settings for a
variety of applications. Different user modes can be
selected for day or night situations.
• Indoor – general day-to-night changes in an indoor
environment without sun highlights or street lighting
effects.
• Outdoor – general day-to-night changes in an outdoor
environment with sun highlights and street lighting
effects.
• Night-optimized – optimized for details in low light
environments.
• Low bit rate – reduces bandwidth requirements.
• Intelligent AE – optimized for scenes with fluctuating
front and back light caused by sunlight or other
illuminated objects in the scene.
• Vibrant – enhanced contrast, sharpness and
saturation.
• Sports and gaming – high-speed capture, and
improved color rendition and sharpness.
• Traffic – for monitoring traffic movement on roads or
parking lots. It can also be used in industrial
applications where fast moving objects are to be
monitored. Motion artifacts are minimized.
• Retail – improved color rendition and sharpness with
reduced bandwidth requirements.
Multiple streams
The innovative multi-streaming feature delivers various
H.264 streams together with an M‑JPEG stream. These
streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and
recording, plus easy integration with third-party video
management systems.
Depending on the resolution and frame rate selected
for the first stream, the second stream provides a copy
of the first stream or a lower resolution stream.
