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

Page 6

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

Page 7

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:

Highlight compensation (HLC) is a camera technology that detects if

there are any strong spots of light and compensates for the area as needed to produce clearer images. Used to read, for example, car number-plates in streets or parking lots at night. Default is Off.

Defines whether the camera is in day or night mode. The day (color)

option could be used, for example, if the camera is located indoors where light levels are always good. Select one of the options (Default is Auto):

Day: Camera is always in day mode. Night: Camera is always in night mode. Auto: The camera automatically detects which mode to use. Schedule: Select the start and end times for day mode

White balance (WB) tells the camera what the color white looks like.

Based on this information, the camera will then continue to display all colors correctly even when the color temperature of the scene changes such as from daylight to fluorescent lighting, for example. Select one of the options (Default is Auto):

MWB: Manually adjust the color temperature to meet your own requirements.

Outdoor: Apply for outdoor environments. Indoor: Apply for indoor environments. Fluorescent Lamp: Apply for scene where there are fluorescent lamps

installed near the camera. Sodium Lamp: Apply for scene where there are incandes cent lamps

near the camera. Auto-Track: White balance is continuously being adjusted in real-time

according to the color temperature of the scene illumination.

Auto: White balance is determined automatically.

Digital noise reduction (DNR) reduces noise, especially in low light

conditions, to improve image performance. Select one of the options (Default is Normal Mode):

Normal Mode: Standard DNR. Expert Mode: Set up the Space DNR level and the Time DNR level.

Space DNR level is used to reduce static noise, but if you configure a higher value, the image may be not clear. Time DNR level is used to reduce dynamic noise. If you configure a higher value, the moving object may have an obvious shadow.

Off: Disable the function.

Only available when DNR is set to Normal Mode. Set the level of noise

reduction in the Normal Mode. Higher value has a stronger noise reduction. Default is 50.

motor vehicles.

Motor Vehicle: Choose this option when monitoring motor vehicles.

Auto: This is the recommended setting when the application scene

of the speed dome is complicated. Keyboard Control Speed Define the speed of PTZ control by a keyboard as Low, Normal or

High. Default is Low.

Basic event

Motion detection alarms

A motion detection alarm refers to an alarm trigg er ed w hen the camera detects motion. The motion alarm is only triggered if it occurs during a programmed time schedule.

Select the level of sensitivity to motion as well as the target size so that only objects that could be of interest trigger a motion recording. For example, the motion recording is triggered by the movement of a person but not that of a cat.

Define the area on-screen where the motion is detected, the level of sensitivity to motion, the schedule when the camera is sensitive to detecting motion, as well as which methods are used to produce a motion detection alarm.

Dynamic analysis for motion can also be enabled. When there is motion, the motion area is indicated by green rectangles.

36 TruVision Stainless Steel PTZ Camera Configuration Manual

Page 39

Defining a motion detection alarm requires the following tasks:

1. Area settings: Define the on-screen area that can trigger a motion detection alarm and the detection sensitivity level.

2. Arming schedule: Define the schedule during which the system detects motion.

3. Linkage: Specify the method of response to the alarm (see below). Trigger

Recording must be selected to launch recordings to be stored on the SD card or in

NAS.

4. Normal and advanced configuration: Normal configuration permits setting the sensitivity level of the motion detection. Advanced configuration provides more control over how motion is detected. It permits setting the sensitivity level as well as the percentage of the motion detection ar ea t hat the obj ec t must occupy, selecting day or night mode, and setting up eight differently configured defined areas.

5. Recording schedule: Define the schedule during which motion detection can be recorded. See “Recording schedule” on pag e 50 for further informati on.

Note: All scheduled times are based on the 24-hour clock. Ensure that the correct

time zone and daylight saving time settings have been configured in Configuration > System > System Settings.
