IV-1. Basic

The “Basic” menu opens a submenu with eight categories of settings for your network camera’s basic

operation. Select a category and refer to the appropriate chapter.

IV-1-1. Network

Network settings are displayed on this page, as shown below. You can configure your network camera to dynamically receive a local IP address from your router’s DHCP server or you can specify a local static IP address for your network camera. Additionally, advanced users can configure the camera using PPPoE.

Network Type

Select “DHCP” to automatically assign an IP

address to your network camera from your router or “Static IP” to manually set a static IP address using the fields below. “PPPoE” is an additional option for advanced users.

IP Address

Static IP users specify an IP address here, which will be the IP address of your network camera.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask of the IP address.

Gateway

Enter the gateway address of your network.

Primary DNS

Enter the IP address of your primary DNS server.

Secondary DNS

Enter the IP address of your secondary DNS server (optional).

HTTP Port

You can edit the HTTP port number to any value between 1024 – 65535. The default value is 80.

Username

Enter the PPPoE username assigned by your ISP here.

Password

Enter the PPPoE password assigned by your IPS here.

MTU

Enter the maximum transmission unit (MTU) value of your network connection. This value must be greater than 512 and less than 1492. The default value is 1392.

PPPoE is not recommended unless you are an advanced user. Using PPPoE, your network camera can connect directly to your modem/ISP without a router/access point. This may cause issues using the EdiView II app, EdiView Finder and the web-based management interface.

IV-1-2. Wireless

The wireless page allows you to configure settings for your network camera’s wireless connection. For Windows users, your wireless connection should have been set up already using EdiView Finder, though you can still use this page to revise the settings if you need.

Mac users need to configure these settings manually since EdiView Finder on

Mac will not set up your camera’s wireless connection. A quick guide to set up

your network camera’s wireless connection using a smartphone or a computer is included below.

Mac users setting their network camera’s wireless connection for the first time please ensure your network camera is connected to your router/access point/switch via Ethernet cable.

You can also use the “wireless” page for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): to either activate push-button WPS (the same effect as physically pushing the hardware WPS button built into the camera), or PIN code WPS (using a PIN code for verification between the two wireless devices for additional security.)

IV-3-1-1. Motion Detection

The network camera features a motion detection function and various options for (motion detection) events notification. When motion is detected, it is defined as an “event” and the camera will record for a specified length of time. You can set the camera to send this recording as a notification via email or FTP, and/or to local storage such as a NAS or MicroSD card inside the camera.

You can also set the camera to send a push notification for each event to a smartphone with EdiView II installed. You can view a 10 second recording of

the event, which is automatically stored in the network camera’s memory, from the app’s “Events” menu.

Recordings stored automatically in the network camera are limited to 10 seconds and only a limited quantity can be stored. These recordings are separate from any recordings saved to local storage or sent via email/FTP, and will be overwritten as new recordings are created.

Motion Detection

Enable or disable the motion detection function of your network camera.

Detection Type

Select type of motion detection: Video motion detection: This is softwarebased motion detection which is highly sensitive to any motion & lighting changes. Human motion detection: This is infrared (PIR) motion sensor detection, which detects changes in infrared radiation caused by heat e.g. a person entering a room.

Interval Time To Detect

After motion is detected, the network camera will not detect motion again for this length of

time. For example, using an “Interval Time To Detect” of 20 seconds means that after

motion is detected, the camera will not detect any further motion for 20 seconds. Then after 20 seconds, the camera will detect motion again.

Upload Event File to FTP

A video recording of a detected event can be sent to a designated FTP server. Select “Enable” or “Disable” for this function. When enabled, you need to configure the FTP server information on the “FTP” page of the “Events  Notification” menu.

Send Event File to Email

A video recording of a detected event can be sent to a designated email recipient. Select

“Enable” or “Disable” for this function. When

clicking and dragging inside the box (move) or on the edges (resize).

Sensitivity

Adjust the sensitivity level of motion detection for each region. A higher value will trigger the alarm for minor motion in the video and vice-versa. You can reduce the sensitivity level if you receive unnecessary event notifications.

Threshold

Adjust the motion detection threshold level for each region. A higher value will trigger the alarm for large objects in the video, a lower value will trigger the alarm for smaller objects.

Save

Save your settings.
