Chapter 2
Network access
This manual explains how to configure the camera over the network with a web browser.
TruVision IP cameras can be configured and controlled using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and other browsers. The procedures described use Microsoft 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.

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. In the System folder, click the Time Settings tab to open its window.
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 date of the DST period.
5.Click Save to save changes.
