Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first bootup. The default IP address of the unit is 192.168.1.168 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0.
However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit obtains an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you do not need to change the IP address of the camera.
Note: If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to a DHCP server.
- Connect to a PC directly: Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet cable. This requires POE switch or injector.
- Connecting a camera to a Local Area Network (LAN): To add the camera to an existing LAN, connect the camera to the POE hub or switch on your network.

PTZ Picture Basic settings
The procedures and information in this section are applicable to the IR PTZ camera only.
Picture Basic
Configure the Auto Focus, Exposure, and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) settings on the camera.
When Auto Focus is enabled, the camera automatically compensates for scene changes that affect focal length (focus) and light levels (iris).
Setting Exposure
Configure the exposure settings for the camera. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Open Shutter provide additional functionality to help compensate for low-light scenes.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
AGC amplifies the video signal in scenes when there is not enough light to produce full video levels. The maximum level of AGC is controlled by the Max Gain control. It is adjustable from 0dB (off) to 37dB. As gain is increased, the sensor noise is also amplified, which can result in more noticeable noise in the image.
Open Shutter
This is a technique that is used for really low light performance applications. It allows the shutter speed to be slowed down further than normal to allow the sensor to collect more light. The maximum level of Open Shutter is controlled by the Shutter Speed control. It is adjustable from 1/30 down to 12
second. The slower the Shutter Speed, the higher the chance for image blur which may affect moving object identification. It is only in effect during low-light situations where an image would not be obtainable otherwise and does not affect the camera performance in normal orbright light situations.
Max Gain
The Max Gain setting is an upper limit for how much gain can be increased when AGC is enabled. The trade-off between picture level (brightness) and noise may be adjusted by setting the Max Gain value. Lower values for Max Gain setting may result in a darker picture, but with less noise. Higher values for Max Gain setting may result in a brighter picture, but with more noise.
Procedure 55 Configure Exposure Settings

Picture Additional
Configure Wide Dynamic Range, Day Night Mode, and Picture Adjustments including Brightness, Contrast, White Balance, Saturation and Sharpness which displays in the video pane.
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that supports the viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).
WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favor a underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the lower end of the control, the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas of bright but less details in areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control, the image is overexposed which provides more detail in the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.
A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.
Procedure 59 Disable/Enable Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
Step Action
1 Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.

Note: TrueWDR3x does not apply to 8MP models.
Note: WDR and TrueWDR3x does not apply to the 2MP PTZ model.
The default setting is OFF.
4 Select the WDR level from the drop-down list:
- Off
- Low
- Medium
• High
- End -
Day Night Mode
IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.
When needed, the True TDN mechanism removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the images allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.
This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light performance rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.
IR Illuminator
When the camera is in B/W mode it can utilize or see near-IR illumination; something the human eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the dome is paired with 850\~950nm IR illuminators.
With this combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the dome can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where externally lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.
Procedure 60 Enable / Disable IR Illuminator

Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).
WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favor an underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the lower end of the control, the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas of bright but less details in areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control, the image is overexposed which provides more detail in the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.
A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.
Procedure 81 Disable/Enable Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
Step Action
1 Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.

Note: TrueWDR3x does not apply to the 8MP models.
Note: WDR and True WDR3x does not apply to the 2MP PTZ model.
The default setting is OFF.
4 Use the required WDR Level from the drop-down list:

Day Night Mode
IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.
When needed, the True TDN mechanism removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the images allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.
This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light performance rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.
IR Illuminator
When the camera is in B/W mode it can utilize or "see" near-IR illumination; something the human eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the dome is paired with 850\~950nm IR illuminators. With this combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the dome can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where externally lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.
Procedure 82 Enable / Disable IR Illuminator
The Indoor Dome or Box camera does not support this feature. Refer to product codes for feature support.
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus. |

Alarm I / O
Note: This section does not apply to the Compact Mini Dome.
The cameras provide one alarm input. By connecting alarm devices, such as smoke alarms, twilight sensors, or motion sensors to these inputs you can enhance the usability of your video surveillance system.
For 15 seconds after being triggered, any additional individual input changes on that alarm source are logged and do not generate any other action. This is to reduce the effect that any oscillating alarm source, such as if a door is simply vibrating in the wind, causing a series of alarms to be generated.
Input alarms are triggered upon change of state. Either from opened to closed or from closed to open. The camera reports the current state of each input alarms (open or closed) as well as an active or inactive status in the alarm configuration page. Active alarms are also be visible in the current faults page.
The triggering of any input alarm affects scheduled tasks and delay them until at least 30 seconds has passed since the last digital alarm input was triggered.
Alarm Actions
Upon triggering each alarm input can be configured to trigger a faulty action:
- Activate the digital output contact. This stays active until the alarm is acknowledged and cleared by an operator.
- Send an external alarm WS-Event that includes alarm details
- Send an external alarm through email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the AVI video file and one JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to local storage. If MJPEG is not being recorded on local storage, then no JPEG picture is sent.
- Send an audio file through the unit. If a speaker has been connected to the audio output on the unit the file can be played as the alarm is triggered.
- Send an AVI video file to a pre-configured external FTP server. The video file contains pre and post alarm video buffer and audio if enabled and supported, as outlined above.
Note:
- An active internal alarm only resets when the input state changes to "normal." A manual reset is not available.
- A micro SD Card must be inserted to send an SMTP email, video files, audio and images from triggered alarms.

Region of Interest (ROI)
Note: The IR PTZ camera does not support the Region of Interest (ROI) feature.
A region of interest is a defined area of the camera view which considered to be higher priority than areas of non-interest. For example, in secure environments, areas of potential activity could be a specific door or window. They are specified by drawing a rectangular overlay on the video stream. The overlay is highlighted in green and an OSD is displayed outlining the size % for the x and y axis Up to five regions of interest can be configured, all of which can be enabled / disabled.

Motion Detection
Motion detection enables you to define a region of interest in the camera's field of view which can be used to trigger an Event Action. Multiple areas of interest can be selected in the field of view but only one Event Action may be triggered.
Motion Detection Best Practices
To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Motion Detection on the camera it is recommended that you adhere to the following:
- An object exhibiting motion needs to be at least 8x8 pixels in size to be detected.
- The color of the object (in gray scale) should be approximately 10 - 15% different than the background.
- Exclude the Time Stamp region from motion detection, because the time stamp changes constantly and could register as motion.
- Try not to point cameras into sunlight, because high brightness prevents detection of movement of bright objects such as a person with a white shirt.
- Avoid areas with persistent motion, such as trees, blinking lights, or spinning signs, by using an appropriate region of interest.
Motion Detection Configuration Pane
The regions of interest within the camera's field of view are defined using the Motion Detection Configuration Pane. The regions of interest are set by drawing/highlighting an area on the pane. This is done by using the drawing tools on the Motion Detection Configuration Pane.
Creating a Motion Detection Alert
Create a motion detection alert on the camera.
The Motion Detection Alert feature supports up to three profiles in a Field of View (FOV). You can configure each profile with an individual sensitivity level and an event action.
Note:
1 If the motion detection video stream is changed after the region of interest has been drawn it is necessary to re-draw a new region.
2 If the stream settings are modified the motion detection is disabled and it is necessary to enable motion detection again if required.
3 Motion detection can only be enabled on a video stream that uses H.264 with a resolution on 1920x1440 or lower.

Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS is supported for updating, in real time a changing IP address on the Internet to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network. RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System. In this situation the camera talks only to the DHCP server and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server. The camera sends its hostname to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS records accordingly. This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal DHCP and DNS service and the user wants only to access their camera within their own network.
By default, when making a DHCP request the camera transmits its hostname as part of the DHCP request. This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the configurable parameter "camera name" on the Web User Interface. Any DHCP request contains the cameras hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.
