Getting started

All encoder configuration and control is done via the webpage. Before you start using the encoder, you must first activate the device by setting up a strong password.

Default network settings

The default network settings are:

• IP address - 192.168.1.70

• Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0

• Gateway address - 192.168.1.1

• HTTP port: 80

• Server: 8000

When you f irst start up the device, the Activation window appears. You must define a high security admin password before you can access the device. There is no default password provided.

Tips on creating a strong password:

• 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.

• The password is case-sensitive so use a mixture of upper and lower case letters.

• Do not use personal information or common words as a password

User Name: It is always “admin”. It cannot

be changed. The bar showing password strength

Enter the new admin password and confirm it.

VCA settings

The configuration of each individual VCA (Video Content Analysis) event is done in the camera browser. Within the encoder, you are able to li nk acti ons to a VCA alarm from IP cameras that support this feature.

The encoder can be set up to detect several types of VCA events, which can then trigger a series of linkage methods:

• Audio Input Exception

• Cross Line Detection

• Intrusion Detection

• Sudden Scene Change

Audio input exception

Audio exception detection detects sounds that are above a selected threshold. You can set it to detect a sudden rise and/or fall in sound intensity. The smaller the

sensitivity level set, the larger the change in sound needs to be to trigger detection. The sound intensity threshold filters the sound in the environment. The louder the environmental sound, the higher the value.

To setup audio input exception actions:

1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration and then Remote Configuration >

VCA > Audio Input Exceptions. The Audio Input Exceptio ns window appears.

This function is only available in the one-channel and four -c ha nnel e nc od er s, w hi ch have a SD card.

It is not available in eight-channel and 16-channel encoders. Defining a recording schedule lets you specify when the encoder records video and

which pre-defined settings are used. Each camera can be configured to have its own recording schedule.

The sched ules are visually presented on a map for easy reference. See Figure 9 below for a description of the recording schedule window.
