Description
Model 3016 delivers full resolution, full frame rate MPEG video over an IP network. Designed primarily for security and surveillance applications, model 3016 features advanced motion detection with configurable thresholds and regions of interest. Sony optics ensure the highest quality video over IP. A wide range of stream bitrates is supported, from 400kbps to DVD quality so that video quality can be optimized for a diverse range of bandwidth and storage constraints. Any standard web browser may be used to configure the camera via its built-in HTTP server.
Ethernet Protocols
The 3016 supports both UDP and RTP video streaming.
The UDP format (User Datagram Protocol) offers the fastest dfata rates at the expense of minimal error checking. A disadvantage of the UDP format is that it cannot be played using popular stream players such as QuickTime. However, the latency
i.e., the time delay between recording and displaying, while using these players, can be several seconds.
The RTP format (real time protocol) trades off CPU and memory usage for error correction and compatibility with QuickTime and Real Player.
Camera Control
The 3016's CPU accepts zoom commands from the Ethernet. A simple command line applicatin, CCclient.exe, is included at no cost to control the zoom functions of the 3016.
Bit Rates and Bandwidth
The data rates discussed below refer to the video bit rate from the MPEG frame grabber used by the 3016. The 3016's programmable bit rate allows trading image quality for bandwidth.
Higher bit rates from our MPEG compression give better quality images than lower rates. Full-size interlaced images of 30 frames/sec will start to show distortions below 1 Mbits/sec, however, image quality improves only slightly above this rate.
When low bit rates are selected, the amount of distortion depends on the amount of motion in the scene. A chess game will have less distortion than a soccer game.
Software and Manuals
The 3016 is configured with a standard web browser or command line via the scmd.exe executable. Zoom capabitlities are controlled command line via the CCclient.exe. executable.
