Video Quality Caution
Frame Rate Notice Regarding User Selected Options
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the
systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of
data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either
lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture
rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly
than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the
system. Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users' purposes is solely the users'
responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application,
picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a
judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular
requirements for such use.

Note: For security purposes, it is required that you create a user account when you access the
camera for the first time. In its out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and
password assigned. In this state the camera does not allow for video to stream or configurations to
change. It is required that you set an administrative user name and password at this time. Creation of
an administrative user changes the state of the camera to its “operational mode,” where credentials
must be provided in order to view live video or change its configuration. This first user configuration
can also be done in VxToolbox software.
There is no provision for recovering a forgotten administrator user name or password. The camera can be
restored to its out-of-the-box, no user name and password configuration by powering down, depressing the
Factory Defaults button, and holding the button down for at least four seconds while powering the camera
back up.
Once the camera is powered back up the user will be prompted to create a username and password.
The recommended browsers for your camera are Mozilla® Firefox®, Google Chrome™, or
Microsoft™Edge™ for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems; and Firefox for Mac® operating
systems. For supported browser versions, refer to the Specification Sheet for your product.
1. Open a web browser.
2. Type the camera’s IP address or host name in your browser’s address bar and then click Enter.
Note:
You can obtain your camera’s IP address or access the camera using VXToolbox
software.

The Network & Security menu provides access for configuring Network settings, Users & Security, TLS,
Traffic Shaping, 802.1x, SNMP, and Firewall. You have the option of changing ports and adding firewall
rules. By default, your device receives an address over DHCP, and all other network features are disabled.
Understanding General Network Settings
Network Hostname
You can configure a host name for your camera containing up to 63 alphanumeric characters. At least one
character in the host name must be a letter.
Port Settings
Port settings determine the ports over which users communicate with the camera.
HTTP: Do not change the HTTP when connecting to a Pelco video management system (VMS); doing so
might prevent you from viewing or recording video from your imaging camera. The default HTTP port is 80.
Note:Do not change the HTTP port when connecting to a legacy Pelco video management system,
as this may prevent you from viewing or recording video from your imaging device.
HTTPS: Set TLS to Optional or Required and install a security certificate before altering the HTTPS port.
The default HTTPS port is 443.
RTSP: Cameras communicate with video management systems over RTSP. Do not change the RTSP
port. The default RTSP port is 554.
IPv4 Settings
By default, cameras are configured to obtain network settings over DHCP. If a DHCP server is not
available, the camera defaults to an address of 192.168.0.20 on a 255.255.255 subnet. If 192.168.0.20 is
already in use on the network, the camera will increment the address by one until it finds an unused
address (for example,192.168.0.21 if 192.168.0.20 is in use).
Set DHCP to Off to configure a static address and manually set the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
Server settings.
IPv6 Settings
(Optional): Your camera supports IPv6 configurations in conjunction with IPv4; the device does not support
IPv6-only network deployments. The camera will accept up to sixteen IPv6 addresses, three IPv6 DNS
servers, and three IPv6 gateways.
There are two configuration modes for IPv6 address assignment:
l Auto: Enables automatic configuration using router advertisement. Additional configuration can be
provided over DHCPv6 (if available on your network). Selecting Auto still allows you to manually
configure additional address, DNS servers, and gateways.
l Manual Only: Provides a link-local address for the device, and it requires you to manually configure
all other IPv6 address settings for the camera. Manually specified addresses require a prefix and
must be input in the format prefix/IPv6Address. The camera will reject addresses that do not contain
prefix information.
Note:
– Cameras do not accept multicast, localhost, or undefined IPv6 addresses.
