Introduction
This manual explains how to configure the camera over the network with a web
browser.
TruVision IP cameras can be configured and controlled using Microsof t Int er net
Explorer (IE) and other browsers. The procedures described use Micr os of t Internet
Explorer (IE) web browser.
Checking your web browser security level
When using the web browser interface, you can install ActiveX controls to connect and
view video using Internet Explorer. However, you cannot download data, such as video
and images due to the increased security measure. Consequently you should check the
security level of your PC so that you are able to interact with the cameras over the web
and, if necessary, modify the Active X settings.
Configuring IE ActiveX controls
You should confirm the ActiveX settings of your web browser.
To change the web browser’s security level:
1. In Internet Explorer click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
2. On the Security tab, click the zone to which you want to assign a web site under
“Select a web content zone to specify its security settings”.
3. Click Custom Level.
4. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are signed or m arked as
safe to Enable. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are
unsigned to Prompt or Disable. Click OK.

Defining the system time
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of network
devices, such as IP cameras and computers. Connecting network devices to a
dedicated NTP time server ensures that they are all synchronized.
To define the system time and date:
1. Click Configuration > System > Time Settings.
TruVision 360° Camera Configuration Manual 9
2. From the Time Zone drop-down menu, select the time zone that is the closest to the
camera’s location.
3. Under Time Sync, check one of the options for setting the time and date:
Synchronize with an NTP server: Check the NTP enable box and enter the server
NTP address. The time interval can be set from 1 to 10080 minutes.
- Or Set manually: Enable the Manual Time Sync function and then click to set the
system time from the pop-up calendar.
Note: You can also check the Sync with computer time checkbox to synchronize
the time of the camera with the time of your computer.
4. Check Enable DST to enable the DST function, and set the start and end dates of
the DST period.
5. Click Save to save changes.
Defining RS-485 settings
The RS-485 serial port is used to control extra devices that support the 485 protocol
(Pelco D or Pelco P), such as PTZ devices, lighting devices or other devices. You can
also connect it to an analog PTZ camera, using a 360° camera to control PTZ
movement.
You need to configure these parameters before connecting the camera to any devices.
