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.

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 -

TruVision Series 3 IP Camera FW3.1 Configuration Manual 5

Under Reset Custom Settings, click the security level for the whole zone in
the Reset To box, and select Medium. Click Reset.

Then click OK to the Internet Options Security tab window.

5. Click Apply in the Internet Options Security tab window.

activate the camera via TruVision Device Manager” below.

3. Enter 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 lea st 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.

To activate the camera via TruVision Device Manager:

1. Run the TruVision Device Manager to search for online devices.

2. Check the device status from the device list, and select the inactive device.
