Edit camera settings
Note, the settings for each camera are configured separately. On each cam-
era preview window there is a Tool icon
in the lower right corner, click this
icon to configure the camera. It is important to know that configuration set-
tings are stored in the camera and are retrieved when a video session is
opened.
To understand the various configuration settings we will look at the settings
for a typical camera. Refer to the screen shots that follow to understand how
to configure each camera settings. Most settings use drop-down menus or
check boxes.
Name and Date/Time
You can assign the camera a descriptive name. Up to 15 characters may be used. The new name will appear
when the next video session is initiated. You can also set your date and time preferences.
Event Capture
/ Notification
This screen enables you to choose what IP camera feature will be used to detect motion, and to specify the
video capture window that results when motion is detected. It allows you to tailor the timing of the video
capture in respect to when motion is detected. Some cameras have additional features (such as White Light
LED) that you can activate here.
All of our IP cameras utilize video analytics to detect motion. Some cameras also have a PIR (Passive Infra
Red) detector that may be used to detect motion.
Note: You must choose only one method of motion detection.
PIR motion detection is based on sensing body heat via multiple beams. When the detected heat signature
breaks the beams in sequence, motion is detected. It has a range of about 15 feet (4.5m) and does not re-
quire ambient light to detect motion.
Video analytics detects motion by comparing sequential video frames for change. In many situations, video
analytics is a superior method of detection since it can be configured to avoid areas that may have movement
that would falsely detect motion. Additionally range is not a factor since motion detection is based on chang-
es to the video frame.
