Chapter I System Introduction

1.1 Product Description

The V940B Series Bullet Camera adopts progressive scan CMOS sensor with an

internal HD motorized zoom lens. The camera has an internal Smart IR

technology that provides 98 ft/30m IR distance. The IR LEDs output power can

be adjusted automatically according to the brightness of the scene so that the IR

LEDs do not work at full capacity. The power consumption of the complete unit

is greatly lowered and the service life is lengthened.

V940B Series offers 2MP cameras and 4MP cameras; the 4MP cameras can

support up to 2592×1520@20fps video output. All cameras use H.265/H.264/M-

JPEG encoding, providing output with excellent definition and color

reproduction, more detailed and accurate information and the accuracy of smart

analysis that can, effectively, be guaranteed.

V940B Series cameras boast of smart functions, including camera tampering, to

detect if the camera/lens has been moved, blocked, low/high brightness or

defocused; intrusion detection, providing protection for key areas; and line cross

detection, providing border protection, which are important features for many

enterprises. These cameras can be widely used in sites that demand high

definition image quality in low lighting environments, such as ordinary buildings,

supermarkets, hotels, shops, parks, schools, factories, warehouses, underground

parking lots, etc.

The compact design makes it easy to install; the integral wall mount allows

adjustment of the angle of view.

1.6 Notes

1. After login, first perform network settings. The gateway IP address should be

set as that of the connected network camera.

2. The IP address cannot conflict with that of other devices; if there are conflicts,

the camera cannot be viewed.

3. If the camera utilizes a PoE power supply, connect equipment strictly

according to the parameters of the Power Supply Switcher. Additionally, a

practical test of maximum network cable length for the Power Supply

Switcher must be performed, to avoid camera failure caused by insufficient

power supplied to the Power Supply Switcher or to avoid the harm to the

Switcher.

These units should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved

materials in conformance with federal, state, and local codes. Read these

instructions thoroughly before beginning an installation. Always refer to Vicon’s

website to assure you have the most up-to-date manual, www.vicon-security.com.

The camera is supplied with an accessory kit that includes mounting hardware

(screws, anchors and grommets), an RJ-45 connector protective cover, a power

connector (2-pin screw terminal), replacement/spare locking screws (screws that

secure the camera module in its cradle), and an Allen tool to loosen the screws.

(Unit: inch, in the parentheses is mm)

Figure 2-1

2.3 Installation of Camera

Select a location that is clear of obstacles and can support the weight of the unit.

Exercise maximum caution when installing the unit to the wall or ceiling. It is

recommended to install the camera 2-4 meters from the floor. As a failsafe

against falling, attach the unit by chain, wire cable or other safety restraint to an

appropriate anchor point. Cabling should be routed to the installation location.

The infrared laser will turn on in the low light conditions and 5 tiny red dots will

10

be visible. Do not look directly at the lens of the camera as it may impair eyesight.

Step 1: Prepare the mounting holes.

Prepare three mounting holes in the specified location, as shown in the figure

below.

∅2.76(70.2)

∅1.35(35.0)

3-120°

Figure 2-2 Location of Mounting Holes

Note: Make sure there is a proper position for a cable hole. The cables are

connected to a pigtail cable assembly on the camera.

Step 2: Install the camera.

Fix the camera to the ceiling with three M4x25 supplied umbrella-type self-

tapping screws (or fastening hardware appropriate for the mounting surface).

Figure 2-3 Install the camera.

11

Step 3: Adjust the camera angle.

Loosen the angle adjustment screw, adjust the camera angle and direction to the

desired position and then tighten the screws. The camera installation is complete.

Users can set the video parameters for H.265, H.264 and MJPEG stream,

including resolution, frame rate, GOP number, and bit rate.

46

Resolution for H.265/H.264 major stream:

The resolution of 4 MP camera is up to 2592×1520, with 2560×1440,

2048×1520, 2304×1296, 1920×1080, 1280×960 and 1280×720 options.

The resolution of 2 MP camera is up to 1920×1080, with 1280×960 and

1280×720 optional.

Resolution for H.265/H.264 minor stream:

The resolution is up to 1920×1080, with 1280×960, 1280×720,

720×576/720×480, 704×576/704×480, 640×480, 352×288/352×240, 320×240

and closed options.

Resolution for third stream:

For the third stream, the stream type can be set as H264, H265 and MJPEG.

The resolution can be 640×80/352×240/320×240.

Frame Rate: This is the number of compressed frames produced by camera per

second. The larger the frame rate is, the better the image continuity will be, but

the CPU performance is lowered. The smaller the frame rate is, the worse the

image continuity will be, but the CPU can handle more events.

The maximum frame rate for H.265 and H.264 is 30fps. The maximum frame

rate for MJPEG is 5fps.

The Max. Encoding Capacity of 4 MP camera is

2592×1520@20fps+720×480@30fps+ MJPEG640×480@5fps.

The Max. Encoding Capacity of 2 MP camera is 1080P@30fps+720P@30fps+

MJPEG 640×480@5fps.

GOP number: GOP number is the ratio of I frame (complete image) to P frame in

(changes in image) in compressed video images. The larger the value is, the less the

data quantity is and the less network resource it occupies.

Max. GOP number can be set to 60.

Bit Rate: There are 2 modes of bit rate: variable rate (VBR) and constant rate

(CBR).

47

With variable bit rate, the system can automatically adjust the bandwidth of the

images per the complexity of the images. In practical use, the complexity of the

video images varies constantly, as the details of the scene and the moving speed

change. If the video includes too much detail and images in it move fast, then the

bandwidth it uses will be larger. If not, the bandwidth is smaller. If the Bit Rate

is set as “Constant bit rate,” then the images are transferred by fixed bandwidth

capacity, no matter how the complexity of the images changes.

Bit Rate: If “VBR” is selected, the upper limit of bit rate has to be set; if

“CBR” is selected, the stream size will be fixed and the stream size is defined

in the “Bit Rate.” For major stream, the bit rate upper limit can be

256kbps~10000kbps; for minor stream, the bit rate upper limit can be

256Kbps~2000Kbps.

Image Quality: Set under MJPEG (third) stream. Options: Highest, High, Average,

Low and Lowest. The higher the image quality is, the more bandwidth it will use.

48
