Introduction

The HD Cam is a full HD IP camera which can be connected directly onto a helmet Picatinny rail

mount, making it suitable for use in tactical situations.

The camera integrates directly with the Visual Engineering Body Worn Mesh Radio. When coupled

with the BWM it provides a complete end to end surveillance system.

The camera has exceptional performance in low light conditions and is supplemented with built in

Infrared or white light LED Illumination.

The HD Cam supports variable video resolutions, which ranges from 1920x1080 down to 320x240.

Variable frame rate and bitrate adjustments are also possible. All of these parameters can be

congured via a web browser interface.

The outer casing is CNC machined aluminium, this rugged build together with its IP67

environmental rating produces a camera that is t for deployment into tactical eld operations.

The camera is designed to have ecient use of power, all connections including power and IP video

are combined into one Fisher connector on the rear of the housing.

A button mounted on the top of the camera controls the activation state of the LED Illuminator. At

initial power on the LED will switch on in low light levels determined by the integrated ambient light

sensor. Following power on if the button is pressed it will disable the LED regardless of light level.

Further presses of the button will cycle the LED to rst switch back to auto state and then o and so

on.

Custom cable assemblies interface with body worn radios from Silvus and TrellisWare.

Connecting the Camera

HD helmet cameras are shipped with custom interface cable as per customers specications.

Once the camera is powered and has an IP connection, users can web browse to the camera to

control its functions.

The web browser allows control of camera parameters such as encoder resolution, encoder bit-

rate, and network settings.

All parameters are non-volatile, meaning they will be remembered after re-powering the camera.

Type the camera’s IP address into the browsers address bar, using the camera IP address

192.168.1.195.

Default IP Address

HD Helmet cameras are by default set with a xed IP address of 192.168.1.195

If the camera is not responding on this address it is possible that the IP address has been changed.

If the new IP address is unknown, the user can use the VE Camera Viewer software application to

locate the IP address. This method is explained in the The VE Camera Viewer section of this user

guide.

Camera Login

On trying to establish a connection the user will be prompted for the User Name and Password,

enter the following details:

Default User Name is:

root

Default Password is:

Date Menu

The date menu page allows the user

to synchronise the camera time to

an SNTP server. In this instance it is

necessary to have the PC connected

to a network.

If a network connection is not

available it is possible to synchronise

the camera to the PC time by ticking

the “Sync Camera to PC Time” check

box and pressing the submit button.

The “UTC Oset” can be altered to

align the camera time with the local

time zone. Changes are only enabled

when the submit button is pressed.

To align the camera to the actual PC

time the “UTC Oset” should be made

same as the value displayed in the “PC

UTC Oset” eld.

Update Menu

Following a Submit the camera will update the rmware and display the following text:

Programming in Progress...Do NOT remove power

Wait until the web page clears this text before trying to move away from the current web page or

powering o the camera. Updates typically take approx 3 minutes to complete.

It is possible to update the

rmware of the camera. There are

three steps to updating the camera

rmware, as shown on the right. 3. Submit the le

Only update the camera

with les that have

been approved by Visual

Engineering.

Use of other les will render

the camera inoperable.

Tick this box and press

submit to sync the camera

to the PC time

1. Select the

Update tab 2. Browse to the le

A camera encoder can be given a software reset at any time by pressing the “Reset” button on the

right hand side of the page.

Video Menu

The Video Page is where all the

camera’s IP encoder parameters

are controlled.

The encoder supports two

encoding formats, H.264 and

MJPEG. The choice of the format

is initiated by the user when the

stream is enabled.

To initiate a H.264 stream from

a camera with an IP address of

192.168.1.195 the URL is:

rtsp://192.168.1.195/h264

To initiate an MJPEG stream from

a camera with an IP address of

192.168.1.195 the URL is:

rtsp://192.168.1.195/jpeg

• Constant Bitrate. This will output a constant bitrate IP video stream, as set in the Bitrate eld.

• Constant Quality. In this mode the bitrate is varied in a eort to maintain a constant quality.

The target quality is set using a number between 0 to 51, the lower the number the higher

the quality, this is set in the quality eld. Amendments to this value are only allowed when the

constant quality mode is enabled. In this mode the ‘ceiling’ bitrate is controlled by the value set

in the Bitrate eld, the encoder will attempt to limit the maximum bitrate to this value.
