Network Connection

Default IP Address

Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first bootup. The
default IP address of the unit is 192.168.1.168 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0.

However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit obtains an IP address automatically
from the DHCP server so that you do not need to change the IP address of the camera.

Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.

• Connect to a PC directly: Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet
cable. This requires POE switch or injector.

• Connecting a camera to a Local Area Network (LAN): To add the camera to an existing
LAN, connect the camera to the POE hub or switch on your network.

2 Check whether if the network is available between the unit and the computer by pinging the

default IP address.

a Start a command prompt.

b Type “Ping 192.168.1.168”. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the con-

nection is available.

3 Start Internet Explorer and enter IP address: 192.168.1.168. A login window appears. In the

window, enter the default user name: admin and password: admin to log in.

- End -

DHCP

On initial camera startup, and after a hardware factory reset, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is enabled by default and remains enabled until the camera receives either a DHCP address
or is assigned a Static IP address.

is made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address

192.168.1.168, but continues to search for a DHCP address.

Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.

- End -

Procedure 15 Disable DHCP

Step Action

1 Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that supports the viewing of high contrast scenes that
include both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).

WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favor a underexposed or overexposed image. By
selecting the lower end of the control, the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas
of bright but less details in areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control, the image is
overexposed which provides more detail in the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.

A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting
conditions simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.

performance.

When needed, the True TDN mechanism removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the images
allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in
many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.

This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light
performance rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.

Day Night Mode

The dome provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light
level falls below certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light
conditions.

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include
both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).

WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favor an underexposed or overexposed image. By
selecting the lower end of the control, the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas
of bright but less details in areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control, the image is
overexposed which provides more detail in the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.

A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting
conditions simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.

8200-1631-03 D0 79

Illustra Pro Series Installation and Configuration Guide

Motion Detection Best Practices

To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Motion Detection on the camera it is
recommended that you adhere to the following:

• An object exhibiting motion needs to be at least 8x8 pixels in size to be detected.

• The color of the object (in gray scale) should be approximately 10-15% different than the
background.

• Exclude the Time Stamp region from motion detection, because the time stamp changes
constantly and could register as motion.

• Try not to point cameras into sunlight, because high brightness prevents detection of
movement of bright objects such as a person with a white shirt.

• Avoid areas with persistent motion, such as trees, blinking lights, or spinning signs, by
using an appropriate region of interest.

Motion Detection Configuration Pane

The regions of interest within the camera’s field of view are defined using the Motion Detection
Configuration Pane. The regions of interest are set by drawing/highlighting an area on the pane. This
is done by using the drawing tools on the Motion Detection Configuration Pane.

Creating a Motion Detection Alert

Create a motion detection alert on the camera.

The Motion Detection Alert feature supports up to three profiles in a Field of View (FOV). You can
configure each profile with an individual sensitivity level and an event action.

Blur Detection

The camera generates an alarm and then takes the action you specified during configuration when
the Blur Detection feature is enabled and the camera detects incidents that make the video image
blur, such as: redirection, blocking, or defocusing.

When you enable Blur detection, it has a polling period of roughly 1 minute.

A Blur Detection start fault is raised when blur has been detected at 60 successive polling periods of
1 second (up to 1 minute).
