1 Introduction
This guide is for the use with the CONVISION CC-8xxx cameras using firmware version 1.1.5.003.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 8/60
2 The Live View
The IP camera web interface is made up of two main pages: the Live View page and the Setup page. The Live
View provides the current display from the IP camera along with selected settings, configuration and functionality.
A login is required to access the web UI. The administrator username is “root”, and the password by default is
“pass”.
After logging into the IP camera via the browser, the user is first presented with the Live View interface.
Below is an example of the Live View page. Following the screenshot is a discussion of the different areas within
the Live View page.
The right hand panel (Information, Streaming, Audio, Control) can be hidden by clicking the small arrow
bordering the video and Streaming pane.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 9/60
Click the arrow (highlighted in green) to hide/display the right side panel.
2.1 Live View, Setup & Client Setup
In the top right corner of the screen are three links.
Live View: the main viewing screen with various controls.
Setup: provides the interface for most of the camera configuration.
Client Setup: configuration for PC client settings such as storage directory,
and web UI streaming preferences.
Client Setup
The Client Setup provides options to modify the recording path, streaming protocol and buffering time.
Streaming protocol and buffering time relate to streaming settings for the web UI on the client PC. These
settings are only applied for the browser session, and don’t persist after the browser is closed.
Settings apply to a specific PC; they are not universal.
Recording Path
Recording Path is used to define the directory where snapshot images and video will be stored.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 10/60
Streaming Protocol
RTP/RTSP over HTTP is the default. This is the most flexible setting in that it streams using port 80 which
should likely require no client router configuration.
RTP over UDP may use less bandwidth than the other options, but it may also result in inferior video quality
since packets may be lost in transmission (more common over WAN) and may require additional router
client configuration for UDP traffic.
See section 5 Router/Firewall Configuration for more information on network configuration considerations.
Buffering Time
Buffering Time can be increased if video appears to lag due to network latency. However, an increased
buffer will result in increased lag between real time.
2.2 Controls and Status
The View Size controls adjust the viewable screen size in Live View. The Zoom feature can be used, and
Record and Snapshot will capture video/snapshots to the local hard drive.
Digital Out will trigger a digital output signal (e.g. to an alarm).
Full Screen will display video in full screen mode. Click the Esc key to exit Full Screen mode.
SD Card shows the status of the SD card.
Digital In Alert will display when a digital in alert has been triggered.
Motion Detection Alert will display when motion detection has been triggered.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 11/60
Speed Dome Models
The speed dome cameras have 6 digital input connections.
Therefore, the Live View Digital IN alert displays 6 separate signals labeled 1-6.
2.3 Digital Zoom
The Digital Zoom feature allows zooming in on a specific area. When using the View Size controls, a
magnifying glass icon will replace the mouse pointer icon.
To magnify a specific area, place the magnifying glass icon over the desired area and left click the mouse.
Additional left mouse clicks will continue to magnify wherever the mouse is placed.
To zoom out, right click the mouse.
If the mouse is moved to the edge of the image window, the mouse icon will change to a white, triangular
icon.
This icon allows moving the view using electronic PTZ if the functionality is available and enabled.
2.4 Information
Resolution and frame rate will be displayed in the Information pane.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 12/60
2.5 Streaming
To toggle between different video streams, use the Stream drop down list.
The number of ROI which are enabled in the Video Setting – Profile Setting will determine the number of
streams available for viewing. See the “Video Control – Video Setting” section for more information.
2.6 Audio
Audio volume controls for speaker and microphone. Clicking on the icon will mute or enable.
2.7 Control (PTZ Control)
The PTZ control panel will not be present in those models where PTZ will not be used .
Use the Set button to mark a preset, and the Go button to use a preset.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 13/60
Speed Dome PTZ Control
The speed dome cameras have some additional PTZ controls displayed in the Control panel.
For more information about the speed dome PTZ functionality, see section
PTZ Dome Camera PTZ Control Settings.
CC-8xxx-PM Models
The CC-8xxx-PM models (Computar Zoom Lens) also have a Push Focus function which automaticalls
determines the optimal focus for a given setting.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 14/60
3 Setup
The web interface is made up of two main pages: the Live View page and the Setup page. The Live View page
interface was introduced in the previous section.
The Setup interface is primarily used for viewing and configuring the IP camera’s settings.
From the Live View page, click the Setup link at the top right side:
Below is a screenshot of the Setup page. The initial page displayed is the “System information” page.
The left hand panel lists the configuration nodes which can be viewed and modified. Clicking on an item will
reveal sub menus which are available.
To return to the Live View page, click the Live View link in the right hand corner.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 15/60
NOTE: Configuration changes in the Setup interface require clicking the SAVE button.
Otherwise, changes will not be applied.
The following discusses the different basic configuration options within the Settings page.
3.1 System – Information
The Information page is always the initial page displayed when switching to the Setup view. Basic
information related to the IP camera is displayed here.
The page only displays information; no changes can be made here.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 16/60
3.2 System – Generic Setting
Camera Name
Enter a camera name if a specific name is desired.
System Time
3 options are available:
Manual: insert time manually
PC Time: set to the current PC time
Network Time Server: periodically synchronizes with a time server
For Network Time Server two standard options are provided. If another time server is preferred, then
choose others from the list and add the address of the time server which will be used.
Renew Period specifies the synchronization schedule.
Day Light Saving allows the daylight saving time to be defined. When the Enable Day Li ght Saving is
checked, the start and end time should be configured to define the DST stat / end time. The camera will
then automatically adjust for DST.
Schedule Reboot
The camera can be configured to reboot on a weekly basis if desired. Last Reboot displays the date and
time of the last reboot.
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 17/60
Camera Lens (for CC-81xx models only)
Keep this entry as this is correct for CONVISION lenses.
Digital Input
This defines the method by which the digital in sensor operates. If the normal condition is open (N.O.), then
the alarm will be triggered when the circuit is closed. The opposite applies for N.C.
LED
The camera LED lights can be enabled or disabled.
The CC-84xx cameras have an additional setting which controls operation of an external IR LED source.
The External IR Output Level controls the circuit voltage which is used to turn on/off the external IR LED.
NOTE
: Refer to the external IR LED manufacturer’s recommendation to properly set the External IR Output
Level.
Low = Active Low: no voltage turns on the external IR LED; voltage turns off the IR LED
High = Active High: voltage turns on the external IR LED; no voltage turns off the IR LED
User Manual CONVISION CC-8xxx Cameras – Firmware 1.2.0 18/60
HTTP Port
To use a non-default port, change the HTTP Port value. This port is used by the camera’s web server and
HTTP streaming.
Language
Currently English, Simplified Chinese, Czech, French, German, Russian and Italian are available.
3.3 System – User Account Management
User accounts can be added, edited or deleted via the controls in the left corner.
Users are assigned to a group (admin, operator or viewer).
To edit or delete an account, highlight the account in the User List window and click the edit/delete button.
After making changes, click SAVE to apply changes.
