Your network camera supports bi-directional audio. There are two supported voice band
channels that function in full duplex mode. Your camera can transmit audio from the camera
to the client (PC) using any audio source that provides an industry standard line level input
(see the terminal strip as depicted in Figure 2-6). Your camera can also receive audio from
the client (PC) and provide an industry standard line level output suitable to connect to
audio devices. Audio input and output have 600 Ohm impedance. See Audio Settings on
page 63 to configure audio options.

Connecting Alarms

WARNING!

Do not exceed the maximum rating of 12 VDC, 0.5 A on alarm

output connections.

Your HD3MDIH/X camera has one alarm input and one alarm output. Connect mechanical
or electrical switches to the alarm input connection to allow event-triggered recording.
When alarm inputs are configured, your HD3MDIH/X camera triggers an alarm only when
the normal alarm state (open or closed) changes.

Note

It is important to click Apply to save any configuration change.

Table 3-4

IP Network Device Setting Options

Option

Description

Device Name

By default, the device name is the device type plus the MAC Address. Honeywell
recommends, for security, that you change the device name.

MAC Address

The MAC address is a factory-assigned address that is unique for each device.

IP Address

The IP address of the device on the network.The camera obtains an IP address

by static or dynamic (automatic) means. There are two options: DHCP (dynamic),
assigned by the user, or APIPA (static), assigned by the network.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask, or netmask, value of the device on the network. IP networks
can be divided into several smaller networks by subnetting. When a network is
subnetted, you must specify a subnet mask, which tells network devices which
smaller network they belong to.
Note If the subnet mask is not properly configured, the camera might not be
able to communicate with other devices on the network.

Default Gateway

The default gateway address that connects the device to the network. Enter the
host IP address to use as a gateway between networks. The gateway allows
communication between devices that are on different networks. Without a correct
gateway setting, the camera cannot receive or transmit data from or to devices
that are not in the same network address range.

Troubleshooting

Technical Support
Prior to calling Honeywell technical support, refer to the following topics for possible
solutions to problems with your HD3MDIH/X camera. To contact the Honeywell Video
Systems technical support team, call 1-800-796-2288 (North America only) or send an
e-mail to [email protected].
Any equipment returned to Honeywell Video Systems for warranty or service repair must
have a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number must be
clearly marked on all return packages and internal paperwork.

Problem: Lens Out of Optical Focus

Possible solutions:
1.

Verify that the lens cap has been removed from the camera.

2.

This can also be caused by dirt, oil, grease, and fingerprints, and so on, that have
accumulated on the lens or bubble. Check the lens and dome bubble, then clean
them, if needed.

Caution

Document 800-07361V1 Rev A

02/11

Use extreme caution when cleaning the lens and dome bubble so
you do not scratch their optical surfaces. Prepare a washed-out
cotton cloth or lens cleaning paper with alcohol or lens cleaning
liquid. Clean by moving spirally from the lens center towards its rim.
Repeat until the lens is completely clean.

67

Troubleshooting

Problem: Live View Does Not Display the Expected Video

Possible solutions:

Ensure that your web browser settings have been configured to allow ActiveX controls
(see Installing the Honeywell IP Utility and Web-Client Software on page 29 for
information on setting up your browser).
Ensure that the network cable from the camera is connected to both the camera and
the network.
Ensure that the camera assembly board DIP switch settings are configured correctly.

Problem: Cannot Connect to a Device

When the following message (Figure B-1) displays in the status bar of the IP Utility, your
device connection is limited. Usually this warning indicates that your PC and the device
your are connecting to are on different subnets. Contact your network administrator for help
to resolve your network issue(s).

Glossary
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Video Amplifier in a camera that boosts the amount of
video gain (including the noise) to maintain a 1V p-p (1-volt peak-to-peak) video signal
output. It becomes operational when the light level is low. The circuit is designed to
compensate for fluctuations in scene illumination which would cause the video output
level to be too low. If the video level (scene illumination) is adequate, the circuit does not
apply any gain to the signal. As the video level falls, more gain is applied by the AGC
circuit to the video signal.
ALC (Automatic Light Compensation) Setting in an Auto Iris lens to control the iris
opening. Adjusts between peak and average to respond to the bright part of the scene
(peak setting) or the average value of the video signal (average setting).
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Allows a server to dynamically assign
IP addresses to nodes (workstations) automatically. Provides client information including
subnetwork mask, gateway address, and DNS (Domain Address Server) addresses.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) Digital Noise Reduction eliminates the flicker that can
appear in an image under certain lighting conditions (for example, fluorescent lighting).
DSS (Digital Slow Shutter) Automatically provides a clear image under low-light
conditions (increasing magnification may cause noise/distortion).
ELC (Electronic Light Control) Typically used with manual iris lenses. The image
brightness is controlled electronically by the camera through automatically adjusting
shutter speed for a properly exposed picture.
Flickerless Eliminates the flicker that can appear in an image under certain lighting
conditions (for example, fluorescent lighting). This is usually caused by the interaction of
the shutter with the AC frequency of the lighting. The flickerless setting changes the
camera shutter speed to a value that will not cause flicker (1/100 sec, NTSC, 1/120 sec
for PAL). The side effect is that the camera sensitivity is reduced because the electronic
iris feature has effectively been turned off and will no longer control the optimum exposure
setting for available light conditions.
FOV (Field of View) The part of the scene visible with a particular lens. The height
(horizontal) and width (vertical) picture size at a given distance that can be seen through
a lens. Generally, shorter focal length lenses have a wider field of view than those with
longer focal lengths.
Gain The amplification a system provides to a signal.
IP Address A unique, 32-bit identifier for a specific TCP/IP host computer on a network.
Iris Adjust Adjusts the iris to either open or close in response to changing light
conditions.

Glossary

NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) A standard of specifications for

television transmission in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Central American, and half of South
America. The North American system uses interlaced scans and 525 horizontal lines per
frame at 30 frames per second.
PAL (Phase Alternate Line) A standard of specifications for television transmission for
color TV signals used in West Germany, England, Holland, Australia, and several other
countries. It uses an interlaced format with 625 lines per frame at 25 frames per second.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) A method of powering Ethernet-connected devices via the
Ethernet cabling as defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Shutter Speed The speed at which the charge is read out from the CCD chip. Adjusts the
light sensitivity of the camera. A faster (briefer) shutter speed can arrest the motion of a fast
moving object (reduce image blur), rendering it sharp. Fast shutter speeds allow less light
to all on the CCD and can darken the image. For fast shutter speeds, ensure there is
adequate lighting. Usually selected using DIP switches on the side of the camera.
Subnet Mask A number used to identify a subnetwork so that an IP address can be shared
on a LAN.
True Day/Night The incorporation of a moving mechanical IR filter within the camera
ensures true 24 hour surveillance, providing high quality color images during the day and
similar quality black & white images at night when used with IR lighting.
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) These are power supplies used in the majority of
high security systems, whose purpose is to back up the system when the main power fails.
