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 the Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE) web browser.
Checking web browser security level
When using the web browser interface, ActiveX controls can be installed to connect an d
view video using Internet Explorer. However, data such as video and images can not be
downloaded due to the increased security measure. Check the security level of the PC
to enable interaction with the cameras over the web and, if necessary, modify the
Active X settings.
Configuring IE ActiveX controls
Confirm the ActiveX settings of the 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 be assigned to a website under “Selec t a w eb
content zone to specify its security settings.”
3. Click Custom Level.
4. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are signed or marked as
safe to Enable. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are
unsigned to Prompt or Disable. Click OK.
—or—
Under Reset Custom Settings, click the security level for the whole zone in the
Reset To box, and then select Medium. Click Reset, and then click OK in the
Internet Options Security tab window.
5. Click Apply in the Internet Options Security tab window.
Windows users
Internet Explorer for Windows® operating systems have increased security measures to
protect a PC from malicious software.
To ensure complete functionality of the Windows web browser interface, do the
following:
• Run IE as an administrator in the workstation
• Add the camera’s IP address to the IE’s list of trusted sites
TruVision Stainless Steel PTZ Camera Configuration Manual 3
To add the camera’s IP address to Internet Explorer’s list of trusted sites:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
3. Click t he Security tab, and then select the Trusted sites icon.
4. Click t he Sites button.
5. Deselect the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check
box.
6. Type the IP address in the Add this website to the zone box.
7. Click Add, and then click Close.
8. Click OK in the Internet Options dialog window.
9. Connect to the camera for full browser functionality.
Activating the camera
When you first start up the camera, the Activation window appears. You must define a
high-security admin password before you can access the camera. There is no default
password provided.
You can activate a password via a web browser and via TruVision Device Manager
(included on the CD to find the IP address of the camera).
Activation via the web browser:
1. Power on the camera and connect the camera to the network.
2. Type the IP address into the address bar of the web browser, and press Enter to
enter the activation interface.
Note:
The default IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.70.
For the camera to enable DHCP by default, you must activate the camera via
TruVision Device Manager. Please refer to the following section, “Activation via
TruVision Device Manager”.
4 TruVision Stainless Steel PTZ Camera Configuration Manual
3. Type the password in the Password field.
Note: A valid password range must be between 8 and 16 characters. You can use a
combination of numbers, lower and upper case letters, and special characters : _ - ,
. * & @ / $ ? Space. The password must contain characters from at least two of
these groups. We also recommend that you reset your password regularly. For high
security systems, it is particularly recommended to reset the password monthly or
weekly for better protection.
4. Confirm the password.
5. Click OK to save the password and enter the live view interface.
Activation via TruVision Device Manager:

Overview of the camera web browser
Use the camera web browser to view, record, and play back recorded videos as well as
manage the camera from any PC with access to the same network as the camera. The
browser’s easy-to-use controls provide quick access to all camera functions.
If there is more than one camera connected over the network, open a separate web
browser window for each individual camera.

main or sub stream is being used.
Note: Resolutions can vary depending on the camera model.
Bitrate Type: Specifies whether variable or fixed bit rate is used.
Variable produces higher quality results suitable for video downloads
and streaming.
Video Quality: Specifies the quality level of the image. It can be set
when variable bit rate is selected. Options include: Lowest, Lower,
Medium, Higher and Highest.
Frame Rate: Specifies the frame rate for the selected resolution.
The frame rate is the number of video frames that are shown or sent
per second.
Note: The maximum frame rate depends on the camera model and
selected resolution. Refer to the camera’s specifications.
Max Bitrate: Specifies the maximum allowed bit rate. To maintain high
quality image resolution, a high bit rate must also be selected.
Video Encoding: Specifies the video encoding used.
Profile: Different profile options indicate different tools and
technologies used in compression. Options include: High Profile,
Profile, and Basic Profile.
SVC: Select OFF or ON to disable/enable the SVC function. Select
Auto and the device will automatically extract frames from the original
video when the network bandwidth is insufficient.
I-frame Interval: A video compression method. We strongly
recommended not changing the default value of 50.

Audio Encoding: G.722.1, G.711ulaw, G.711alaw, MP2L2, G.726,
Smoothing: Adjust the smoothness of the stream.
and PCM encoding standards are selectable.
Audio Input: MicIn is selectable for the connected microphone.
Input Volume: Specifies the volume from 0 to 100.
Environmental Noise Filter: Set as OFF or ON to filter environmental
noise.

Define a region of interest (ROI) within the camera view. Assigns more
encoding resources to an ROI (background information is less focused
when network performance is less than optimal).

isplay Info. On
When Dual-VCA mode is enabled, the camera sends video analytics
results (metadata) to an NVR or other platforms to generate a VCA
alarm.
To configure ROI settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration > Video/Audio > ROI.
2. Click Draw Area to draw the region of interest on the image. Up to four regions can
be drawn.
3. Select the stream type from the Stream Type drop-down list to set the ROI
encoding.
4. Select Enable under Fixed Region to manually configure the area.
Region No.: Select the region.
ROI Level: Choose the image quality enhancing level.
Region Name: Type the required reg ion name.
5. Select Enable Face Tracking and/or Enable Target Trackin g under Dynamic
Region for face and target tracking. The ROI will change, depending upon where
faces or targets are detected in the scene.
