Multicast functions  
This camera utilizes MPEG-4 compression technology. Thanks to efficient encoding, the  
data transmission rate remains low, even with maximum image quality at 25 images per  
second; furthermore, it can be adapted to meet the bandwidth requirements of various  
network infrastructures.  
In appropriately configured networks, the multicast function permits the simultaneous video  
transmission in real time to several receivers. A requirement for this to function properly is  
the implementation of the UDP and IGMP protocols on the network.  
Configuration  
This camera can be configured with a browser via the local area network or  
through the Internet. Firmware updates and the quick uploading of device  
configurations are handled in the same way. Please note that disconnecting  
the camera or power supply while the firmware update is still in progress can  
cause serious damage to the camera.

alarm when the video is locked, for example, when the lens is covered.  
Motion alarm:  
Select On if the unit is to activate an alarm when the motion alarm is triggered.  
Alarm input 1/2:  
Select the option On in order to activate the alarm by means of an external alarm  
sensor. Otherwise select Off. If this setting is turned On, you must also select if the  
alarm is activated by an Active high or Active low voltage level. Enter into the text  
field a message for the alarm input which will be displayed on screen if an alarm is  
activated.  
Alarm Settings ó Alarm Connections  
Options are provided to specify the behavior of the devices in the event of an alarm.  
Connect on alarm:  
Select On, to automatically establish a connection to one of the predefined IP  
addresses in the event of an alarm. The addresses will be contacted in turn once  
until a connection is established.  
Select Assign IP to input if you want a predefined allocation of alarm input and  
remote IP address. Thereby only one remote IP address will be contacted in case of  
an alarm, namely the first IP address with alarm input 1 being triggered, the second  
with alarm input 2 and so on.  
Choosing the parameter Follow input 1, a connection to the first IP address is  
established when alarm input 1 is triggered and holds only until there is a contact at  
alarm input 1. For example, the connection is established if a push-button connected  
to alarm input 1 is activated and will be disconnected automatically when the button  
is turned off.  
Number of video receiver address:  
The ZN-L8000 can store up to 10 alarm IP addresses. In case of an alarm, the  
addresses are contacted one after the other until a connection is established.  
v2.0 - English  
17  
Alarm IP address:  
You can enter the IP addresses of a possible receiver.  
Remote receiver password:  
Here you can enter the respective receiver password in case the receiver is  
protected by one.  
Live video auto-connect:  
Select the option On if it is required to re-establish a connection to the previously  
specified IP address after each restart, e.g. after a connection breakdown or network  
dropout. The addresses will be contacted in turn once until a connection is  
established.  
Alarm settings ó Motion detector  
The camera contains an integrated video sensor, which based on the video processing can  
register changes in the video signal. These changes are primarily initiated by movement in  
the field of view of the camera. The sensitivity of the video sensor can be adjusted, so that  
an alarm is generated only if a given threshold is exceeded.  
In order for the alarm to operate, the following conditions must be fulfilled:  
Ø motion detection must be activated.  
Ø at least one cell must be activated.  
Ø parameters must be matched to environmental conditions and to required responses.  
Ø the sensitivity must be set to a value greater than 0.  
Light reflections, switching on or off of floodlights or light level changes caused  
by cloud movement in bright daylight can cause undesirable responses from  
the video sensor and thereby generate false alarms. Test for different day and  
night time conditions in order to ensure correct operation of the video sensor.  
For surveillance of indoor areas, ensure a constant lighting of the areas during  
the day and at night. Uniform surfaces without contrast can trigger false alarms  
even with uniform lighting.  
v2.0 - English  
18  
Motion detector:  
Select the option On to activate the video sensor.  
Select sensor field:  
The areas of the image to be monitored by the video sensor are selected here. The  
video frame is subdivided into 396 square cells. Each of these cells can be  
activated or deactivated. If it is necessary to exclude particular regions of the  
camera field of view from the monitoring process because of, say, continuous  
movement (e.g. due tree movement in a wind), the relevant cells can be deactivated  
(use mouse click for this operation)  
Local sensitivity:  
The basic sensitivity of the video sensor can be adapted for the ambient camera  
conditions. The sensor reacts to brightness variations in the video image. The  
darker the observation range, the greater the value that must be selected here.  
Adjust the sensitivity by moving the slider to the desired setting with the mouse key  
held down.  
Average n [frames]:  
It is possible to define the number of frames during which a movement is monitored  
in order to generate an alarm. In this way, it is possible to prevent generating a false  
alarm, e.g. by a bird flying across the surveillance area. Select the desired value by  
moving the slider to the desired position with the mouse key held down.  
Object min size [n*] blocks:  
The number of sensor cells, which a moving object must cover in order to generate  
an alarm, can be specified. In this way it is possible to prevent too small objects from  
producing an alarm. For this, the minimum recommended value is 2 (2 × 2 sensor  
fields). Select the desired value by moving the slider to the desired position with the  
mouse key held down.  
Alarm indicator:  
To prevent false alarms, a motion signal can be matched to a given alarm threshold.  
In this way, for example, it is possible to filter out effects caused by the background  
noise generated in the camera itself. The blue line indicates the alarm threshold.  
Any value greater than this will produce an alarm signal. The components of the  
motion signal generating the alarm are indicated in red. The alarm threshold can be  
varied to suit individual requirements.  
Take note of the amplitude of the movement signal displayed in the window over a  
long period and at all light levels likely to be encountered in practice. Move the  
mouse pointer onto the blue line. Holding the left mouse button pressed, move the  
blue line to the required position.  
Motion tracking:  
For certain applications, it can make sense to generate an alarm only if movement  
takes place in a particular direction. You can activate the motion detection and  
select the direction of movement required to generate an alarm. Select the option  
On, in order to activate the motion tracking feature of the video sensor.  
v2.0 - English  
19  
Tracker:  
In the Tracker field you see an arrow, which indicates the current motion in the  
video image. By means of check boxes in the four corners, the desired direction can  
be activated. If, for example, all movements to the “left” and “upwards” are to  
activate an alarm, then mark the top left corner. If all movement to the “left” is to  
activate the alarm, then check the left upper and the lower left corners. Note the  
movements indicated by the arrow in the video image over a long period and at all  
light levels likely to be encountered in practice. Click the check box in order to  
activate the corresponding directional component.  
Relay Setting ó Relay Configuration  
The switching conditions for the relay output can be configured. The function of an open  
switching relay (normally closed contact) or a closed switching relay (normally open  
contact) can be specified. It is also possible to specify whether the output should operate  
as a bistable or as a monostable. In bistable operation, the activated state of the relay  
remains as switched. In monostable operation, the time can be selected after which the  
relay is to revert to its steady state. Various events can be selected to automatically  
activate the output. In this way, for example, it is possible to switch on a floodlight when a  
motion alarm has been detected and to switch the light off again at the end of the alarm.  
Please note that changing the default configuration the relay will work as set when the  
camera is powered on but as indicated in the previous session when powered off.  
Idle state:  
Select Open if the relay is to operate as a normally open contact or Closed if it is to  
operate as a normally closed contact.  
Operating mode:  
Select the operating mode for the relay. If, for example, a lamp is switched on by an  
alarm and is to remain on when the alarm has ended, select Bistable. If an acoustic  
signal activated by an alarm is to remain on for a period of, for example, 10 seconds,  
select 10 s.  
Relay follows:  
Select a particular event by which the relay is to be activated as required.  
v2.0 - English

If the device is used in front of a firewall, transmission over TCP (Port 80) should be  
selected. If used in a local network select UDP.  
Ethernet link type:  
Adjust the type of Ethernet link to the network. In most applications, 'Auto' is the  
correct choice. For some routers and switches it may be necessary to set the  
Ethernet link type to a fixed value.  
Select the appropriate value:  
10 MBit/s HD = 10 Mbps half-duplex  
10 MBit/s FD = 10 Mbps full-duplex  
100 MBit/s HD = 100 Mbps half-duplex  
100 MBit/s FD = 100 Mbps full-duplex  
v2.0 - English  
21  
DNS Server IP Address:  
When working with a device over the Internet, dynamic IP addresses are assigned  
for efficient use of the IP address pool, i.e. the device gets a new (changing) IP  
address each time a connection is set up. Connecting is easier when the device is  
listed on a DNS server. The device logs in regularly, leaving the device name,  
device IP address and the current Internet IP address.  
To connect to a device over the Internet you just insert the device name together  
with the URL of the DNS server, which then returns the valid Internet IP address for  
automatic connection set up. The default setting for the DNS server IP address is  
the IP address of the VCS DNS server videotec.info. The ZN-L8000 contacts the

address of the VCS DNS server is 195.145.107.78.  
DNS refresh time: enter here the time interval for the ZN-L8000 to contact the DNS  
server. You can enter a value from 30 to 86400 sec (24 h). Leave  
this field empty if you don't want to use the DNS function.  
Multicast operation is only possible using the UDP protocol. The TCP  
protocol does not support any multicast connection.  
Due to settings inside this device, the following ports in your network have to be opened:  
TCP (Port 80): port 80  
UDP (without Multicast): all UDP ports starting with port 1024 and TCP port 1756.  
UDP (with Multicast): the defined Multicast video port and the consecutive 7 ports.  
Service Settings ó Multilink – Multicast  
Along with a 1:1 connection between a transmitter and a receiver (unicast), the units  
provide the option of connecting a number of receivers to simultaneously receive the video  
signal. This is achieved either by a duplication of the data stream in the unit with  
subsequent distribution to a number of receivers (multi-unicast) or by distribution of a single  
data stream on the network itself to a number of receivers in a defined group (multicast).  
Requirement for multicast operation is a multicast compliant network with  
implementation of the UDP protocol and the IGMP protocol. Other group  
management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support any  
multicast connection.  
v2.0 - English  
22  
The devices support the multi-unicast operation up to a maximum of 5 simultaneously  
connected receivers for MPEG-4. The transparent data connection is maintained from the  
first unit. However, after 15 seconds of inactivity the data connection is automatically  
suspended and another unit can exchange transparent data with the transmitter.  
For multilink operation, the network is not required to be multicast compatible as the  
devices are also multi-unicast compatible. Duplication of the data in the unit requires  
considerable processor power and, under certain circumstances, leads to limitations in the  
picture quality.  
Multicast streaming:  
Select the option On in order to activate the multicast function. For that purpose a  
valid Multicast group IP address has to be entered.  
Multicast group IP address:  
Before you and use the multicast and the streaming mode in a multicast-compatible  
network, you must establish a special IP address (class D address). The network  
must support the establishment of a group IP address and the Internet Group  
Management Protocol (IGMP). The address range is from 224.0.1.0 to  
238.255.255.255. With this field left empty (0.0.0.0) the device is sending in multi-  
unicast mode and streaming is not possible.  
Multicast port MPEG-4:  
This field is read-only and informs about the selected video port. Assignment of port  
numbers is done automatically by the software.  
Multicast racket TTL:  
Here the number of junctions can be entered a data packet can pass within the  
network. By setting the parameter you determine the life span of the data packets,  
e.g. if multicast is operated over a router the value must be greater than 1 to  
guarantee transmission of the packets.  
Service Settings ó Version Information  
Hardware and software version numbers are only required for information and can not be  
altered. Keep a record of these numbers in case technical assistance is required.

Service Settings ó Livepage Settings  
The live page can be set up to suit individual requirements. Options are provided here to  
display different information and operating elements along with the video picture. In  
addition, individual background images for the main window and for the upper screen area  
(banner) can be used.  
For the background image you can use the file types GIF and JPEG. The file  
paths must correspond to the type of access (for access to a locally stored file,  
for example, c:\Images\Logo.gif, for access to an Internet/Intranet file, for  
example, http://www.cbcamerica.com/images/logo.gif). Note that with Internet  
or Intranet access, the connection must be maintained in order to continually  
display the image. The image files are not stored in the device.  
Start page background URL:  
Enter the file path to a suitable background image. The image can be stored on a  
local computer, on a local network or at an Internet address.  
Start page logo URL:  
Enter the file path to a suitable image for the upper screen area (banner). The image  
can be stored on a local computer, on a local network or at an Internet address.

Enter the path to the location where the log files for the alarm messages are stored.  
File for saving general messages:  
Enter the path to the location where the log files for the general system messages  
are to be stored.  
Path for JPEG/MPEG-4 files:  
Enter the path to the storage location for the JPEG snapshots and video sequences  
which can be stored from the live page or the DRAM-Replay.  
Service Settings ó Software Update  
Software upload:  
The units are designed in such a way that their functions and parameters can be  
updated with firmware (device software). In such cases, transmit the updated  
firmware package via the selected network to the device. On termination of the  
connection, the firmware will be automatically installed. This allows a device to be  
remotely serviced and updated without a technician having to modify the device  
installation on site.  
Before starting the firmware upload, ensure that you have selected the correct  
upload file! An upload of other files can result in the device being no longer  
addressable and having to be replaced. Please remember that you can damage  
a camera interrupting a firmware upload.  
Configuration download:  
You can store the configuration setting of the device on a PC and upload stored  
configuration settings from a PC to the device. (Click on Download)  
Configuration upload:  
Upload the configuration by selecting a file and clicking Upload.  
Reset operation  
In order to activate the new configuration the system must be rebooted by  
entering the current IP address followed by a reset operation.

OPERATION WITH INTERNET EXPLORER  
You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer from version 5, the Microsoft Java  
Virtual Machine and please disable the java script debugging.  
You need to install the MPEG ActiveX plugin.  
Your PC should support a video resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.  
Connection  
Once you have configured your device, you may enter the IP address of the camera into  
the Internet Explorer address bar. (using 192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.0.1/ is acceptable.)

Individual images can be displayed in different resolutions. To select the resolution,  
append the corresponding parameter to the command snap.jpg:  
Ex: 192.168.0.1/snap.jpg  
Ø Snap.jpg?JpegSize=S 176 x 144 pixels  
Ø Snap.jpg?JpegSize=M 352 x 288 pixels  
(default value)  
Ø Snap.jpg?JpegSize=XL 704 x 576 pixels  
SERVICE  
The connection between two IP addresses can be checked using the command ping. You  
can thus check whether the device in the network is active.  
Ø Open the DOS input window and enter the command ping followed by the IP  
address of the device. (Ex: ping 192.168.0.1)  
Ø When the device is found, you receive in response: Reply from ..., followed by the  
number of bytes transmitted and the transmission time in milliseconds (ms). Other  
messages, such as a time out or unreachable, this indicates that the device cannot  
be addressed via the network. This can have the following causes:  
The device is not physically connected to the network. In this case, check the  
connecting leads, and the link lights on all devices. Or, perhaps the device is not  
correctly integrated into the network with its settings. Check the IP address, the  
subnet mask and the gateway IP.  
Reset  
In order to activate the new configuration the system must be rebooted by  
entering the current IP address followed by a reset operation:
