Preparation
Connect the Equipment
To be able to connect to the camera firmware from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to
be connected to each other via Ethernet cable. At the same time, the camera has to have its own
power supply. In case of PoE cameras, you can use PoE Injector or a PoE Switch between the a
camera and the PC. The cameras that have the DC power connectors may be powered on by
using a power adaptor.
The Ethernet port LED or Power LED of the camera will indicate that the power supply for the
camera works normally.
Configure the IP Addresses
In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC
have to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have
very similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each
other. There are 2 different approaches to IP Address management in Local Area Networks –by
DHCP Server or Manually.
Using DHCP server to assign IP addresses:
If you have connected the computer and the camera into the network that has a DHCP server
running, then you do not need to configure the IP addresses at all both the camera and the PC –
would request a unique IP address from DHCP server automatically. In such case, the camera
will immediately be ready for the access from the PC. The user, however, might not know the IP
address of the camera yet. It is necessary to know the IP address of the camera in other to be
able to access it by using a Web browser.
The quickest way to discover cameras in the networkthe is to use the simplest network
search, built in the Windows system just by pressing the Network icon, all the cameras of the – “ ”
local area network will be discovered by Windows thanks to the UPnP function support of our
cameras.

In the example below, we successfully found D11 camera that we had just connected to the
network.
With the left mouse click on D11 it is possible to automatically launch the default browser of the
PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of the browser already.
If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the
cameras in the network IP Utility by using –. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not
only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC
addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple
devices at the same time.
The IP Utility can be downloaded for free from http://www.acti.com/IP_Utility
With just 1 click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows:
You can quickly notice the D11 model in the list. Click on the IP address to automatically launch
the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of
the browser already.

Use the default IP address a came : of ra
If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to assign the IP addresses to
both PC and camera manually to make sure they are in the same network segment.
When the camera is plugged into network and it does not detect any DHCP services, it will
automatically assign itself a default IP:
192.168.0.100
Whereas the default port number would . In order to access that camera, the IP address of be 80
the PC has to be configured to match the network segment of the camera.
Manually adjust the IP address of the PC:
In the following example, based on Windows 7, we will configure the IP address to 192.168.0.99
and set Subnet Mask to by using the steps below: 255.255.255.0

Manually adjust the IP addresses of multiple cameras:
If there are more than 1 camera to be used in the same local area network and there is no DHCP
server to assign unique IP addresses to each of them, all of the cameras would then have the
initial IP address of , which is not a proper situation for network devices all the IP 192.168.0.100 –
addresses have to be different from each other. The easiest way to assign cameras the IP
addresses is by using : IP Utility
With the procedure shown above, all the cameras will have unique IP addresses, starting from
192.168.0.101. In case there are 20 cameras selected, the last one of the cameras would have
the IP 192.168.0.120.
Later, by pressing the Refresh button of the IP Utility, you will be able to see the list of cameras “ ”
with their new IP addresses.
Please note that it is also possible to change the IP addresses manually by using the Web
browser. In such case, please plug in only one camera at a time, and change its IP address by
using the Web browser before plugging in the next one. This way, the Web browser will not be
confused about two devices having the same IP address at the same time.

Access the Camera
Now that the camera and the PC are both having their unique IP addresses and are under the
same network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera.

Host
The section Host allows the administrator to define the name of the “ ”
camera and preferred user interface language.
There are two kinds of names Host Name and Camera Name. –
Host Name is used to identify the camera by a DHCP server. In some networks with very strict
security policy, it is required that all the network devices should have their host name, and when
the devices attempt to access the network by requesting an IP address from a DHCP server, the
DHCP server would check if the host name is among the allowed devices. On this page, it is
possible to edit the Host Name. To actually include the Host Name in DHCP discovery packet
sent from a camera, please go to and make sure the device is in IP Settings Dynamic IP
Address mode and Use host is checked. “ name”
Camera Name Video Management System Software is used to identify the device by or by
Tools. Usually, upon installation of the camera, the actual installation location is used as an
easy- -remember Camera Name, such as Front Gate or Elevator 1 . In many cases the VMS to “ ” “ ”
is able to modify the Camera Name directly via its own user interface without needing to access
Web Configurator.
Language selection under Host has the same purpose as the one on the login page of Web
Configurator.

Date & Time
Each video frame contains a time stamp. The accuracy of the time stamp is very important for
incident investigators. Therefore the clock of the camera has to be adjusted to most accurate time
possible.
The section provides the options for adjusting the date Date & Time
and time of the camera.
There are two ways to adjust the date and time by getting date and time – automatically
regularly from any of the worldwide, or by selecting proper time zone, NTP servers manually
date and time. The automatic way can be used only if the camera has an access to NTP servers.
If you are using an isolated Local Area Network without Internet access, you can only use Manual
date and time adjustment mode.
When choosing for automatic date and time updating, you can key in the IP SNTP/NTP Server
address of the NTP server and the time interval for automatic time synchronization. If you want to
key in the domain name of NTP server instead, please make sure the DNS server IP address has
been set under IP Settings; otherwise the camera will not be able to resolve the domain name of
the NTP server.

If all the cameras are getting the date and time from the same NTP Server, you can be most sure
that the video clips from different cameras can be well synchronized later for comparison
purposes.
To choose the most suitable NTP Server to synchronize date and time with, please refer to the
worldwide pool of NTP Servers: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
When choosing mode, you can adjust the date and time by the select boxes. Set Manually

HTTPS protocol allows creating a secure channel over an insecure
network in order to protect the data sent between the camera and its counterpart. Two things are
required to have a secure communication encrypted data, and verified counterpart of the –
communication. To make sure that the messages are being sent and received from true
counterpart, the certificate is needed.
There are two methods to create certificates and –Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access
Control. 802.1X authentication involves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an
authentication server.
The supplicant is a client device (such as an IP camera) that wishes to attach to the LAN/WLAN.
The authenticator is a network device, such as an Ethernet switch or wireless access point; and
the authentication server is typically a host running software supporting the RADIUS and EAP
protocols.
The authenticator acts like a security guard to a protected network. The supplicant (i.e., client
device) is not allowed access through the authenticator to the protected side of the network until
the supplicant’s identity has been validated and authorized. An analogy to this is providing a valid
passport at an airport before being allowed to pass through security to the terminal. With 802.1X
port-based authentication, the supplicant provides credentials, such as user name / password or
digital certificate, to the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards the credentials to the
authentication server for verification. If the authentication server determines the credentials are
valid, the supplicant (client device) is allowed to access resources located on the protected side
of the network.
Please IEEE 802.1x and configure settings the screen below. Note that the new enable on
setting will only take effect after Save & Reboot . “ ”

SNMP Setting
T item displays the SNMP configuration p he SNMP Setting age.
SNMP provides an easy way to manage network devices. The main features are:
1. Monitoring device uptime
2. System detail description. (Ex: model name, model description and firmware version.)
3. Collect interface information. (Ex: MAC address, interface speed, local port.)
4. Measuring network interface throughput.
To use SNMP, just SNMP function in e camera (SNMP agents) and run SNMP enable th
management software in server (NMS: Network Management Station) to connect the devices. to
The SNMP agent supports versions V1, V2 and V3. SNMP V1 is the initial implementation of
SNMP. SNMP V2 is proposed to enhance the performance of management, such as the
communication of server and devices, the confirmation of information delivery and receipt.
Primary additions in SNMP V3 concern security and remote configuration enhancements.
SNMP V1/V2 uses “Community” name as password to authenticate identity. “Read Community”
is the password for server to get information from devices. “Write Community” is the password for
server to edit values on devices. The default is “public” for Read Community and “write” for Write
Community. Of course, you can set any other password as your read/write community.
You can enable V1, V2 or both. Click “ ” after you’ve completed setup.Apply
The security method of SNMP V3 uses account/password for authentication. “Security Name” is
the account name to be used with your “Password”. The default security name is “public” and the
password must be at least 8 characters long. You also can set any other security name or
password. Click “ ” after you’ve completed setup.Apply

SNMP function is now enabled. You may now install and run the SNMP management software on
computer server.
SNMP Trap Usage:
SNMP traps enable notifications from devices. Devices may send message to the management
server whenever significant events occur such as cold start, warm start and authentication failure.
The manager will get the information immediately and take action if necessary.
Cold start Warm start means device reboot by power disconnection. means device reboot by
firmware without power disconnection. If there other parties attempt to connect to the device with
wrong security password under SNMP V1, V2 or V3 setting, the device will send an
authentication failure message to the management server.
To enable SNMP Trap function in the camera, type the IP address of the computer running the
SNMP management software and type trap community as password to allow server to get trap
message from device (Default is public). Select available traps and click . “ ”Apply

IP Settings
The section provides the options to define how the IP Settings
camera would obtain its IP address; and to which DNS server should the camera connect to, in
order to resolve domain names.
Connection Type
The sub-section Connection Type allows defining the method of
obtaining the IP address of the camera. By default, the camera is in Dynamic IP Address mode
and attempts to get the IP address from a DHCP server. If such attempt fails after several
seconds (for example the DHCP server does not exist), the camera will automatically assign itself
an IP address, listed under Static IP Address.
Host Name is used to identify the camera by a DHCP server. In some networks with very strict
security policy, it is required that all the network devices should have their host name, and when
the devices attempt to access the network by requesting an IP address from a DHCP server, the
DHCP server would check if the host name is among the allowed devices. On this page, it is
possible to edit the Host Name and enable or disable the use of host name.
Most installation projects include clear network topology and static IP addresses for each camera.
In such cases, you can change the camera to mode and modify the Static IP Address IP
Address, Subnet Mask Gateway and accordingly.
In some rare cases, the camera may be connected to the control center over Internet. Usually,
the most cost efficient way is to use ADSL connection with . To avoid the unexpected PPPoE
changes of IP addresses by Internet Service Provider upon the restart of the camera, it is

recommended to activate a DDNS service for such scenario, and let the control center connect to
the camera by the domain name instead. Please refer to the DDNS section for more details.
To set the camera in PPPoE mode, set the radio button to PPPoE and key in the User Name and
Password, provided by Internet Service Provider.

DDNS
There are surveillance solutions that consist of single
cameras scattered over a wide territory, therefore each of those cameras should be connected to
Internet in order to become accessible by Control Center. For example, the chain stores, bus
stops, currency exchange booths, etc.
In such cases, one of the practical networking solutions is to use DSL modem on camera site and
let the camera obtain the dynamic IP address from the Internet Service Provider through the DSL
modem using PPPoE connection, which is much more cost-effective than applying for static IP
address.
However, there is one drawback in this solution in order to do the remote surveillance from the –
Control Center, the NVR Server in the Control Center has to know the address of the IP camera
at all times in order to get the video stream from the camera. If the camera s network connection ’
has been reset for any reason, the camera will get a new IP address through DSL Modem, which
may be different from the previous one. NVR will not know about this change, and the connection
between the camera and NVR will fail.
There however exists a solution that makes sure the NVR can find the camera even if the camera
IP changes frequently. Our cameras support service that allows Dynamic DNS or DDNS
frequently changing IP be mapped to a certain unchangeable domain name. The mapping
database and its updating engine are hosted in one of the Dynamic DNS servers, most of which
offer basic services for free, such as www.dyndns.org.
How does it work? Look at the graph below.

Every time the IP camera gets an IP that is different from previous one, it notifies the public DDNS
Service about the change. The DDNS Service updates its database immediately, mapping the
assigned domain name (for example ) to the new IP address. In NVR camera123.dyndns.org
settings, only the domain name ( ) is used to identify the camera. Every camera123.dyndns.org
time when NVR needs to connect to the camera, it asks from DDNS Service what the current
camera s IP is. The DDNS Service instantly responds to NVR and tells it the camera s IP. Now ’ ’
NVR will use the IP of the camera to connect to the camera and the video stream from the
camera to NVR can be initiated.
As a result, NVR can always find the IP camera regardless of frequently changing IP address of
the camera. Since there are so many public DDNS Services available for free, the PPPoE-based
connection is really a good and low-cost solution for single-camera sites.

sufficient for most environments and the video adjustments are not necessary. The following
sections explain the ways to configure the video quality or streaming details in case it is required
to do so.

The sub-section is also named For Audio supported cameras, Video.
there will also be a sub-section named Audio. The video section is divided into tabs. The
functionality of each tab is explained separately below.
Upon opening the sub-section named Video, the live view of the Stream 1 of the camera will
appear. Since the camera is a dual stream device, it is possible to see how each of the 2
streaming configurations looks like, by selecting either or under the live Stream-1 Stream-2
video window.
Usually, Stream-1 is configured to be high quality video with maximum resolution and frame rate
for recording purposes while Stream-2 is usually a moderate quality stream for live view purposes
of the VMS, to reduce VMS computing power during video decoding of multiple channels.

Compression
The section Compression allows the user to define the compression settings of “ ”
the video stream 1 and stream 2. The purpose of compression is to reduce the bandwidth and
VMS storage consumption.
Usually the stream 1 is configured to be the best quality stream for NVR recording purposes while
the stream 2 is configured to be with the basic quality for the live view of NVR, to minimize the
computing power of NVR used for video decoding.
Parameters
Description
Encoder Type
There are two encoder types available: H.264 (High Profile) and
MJPEG.
H.264 Profile
This item is available only if the Encoder Type is H.264.
The H.264 Profile defines the video compression scheme: High
Profile Main Profile Baseline, , and . These schemes vary from least
compressed, , to most compressed . By Baseline , High Profile
default, the H.264 Profile is , which provides the most High Profile
compression with the best video quality, but more computing power.
Some third-party video management system has long latency or er
takes more time to decode gh Profile compression scheme in this Hi ,
case, you can select or . In order to get the Main Profile Baseline
same video quality, you can select a higher bit rate with lower
compression; this is the same as having a lower bit rate with a High
Profile. For example, a video on High Profile with 2M bit rate will have
the same video quality as a video with Baseline Profile at 3.5M bit
rate.
VGA Aspect Ratio
It is used to define the aspect ratio of VGA stream it can be either –
4:3 ratio (640x480) or 16:9 ratio (640x360). When Auto Detected is “ ”
chosen, the VGA stream will follow the ratio of the higher resolution
stream, to ensure the identical view of stream 1 and stream 2.

Resolution
Depending on the camera model, the number of available resolutions
may be different. The default resolution setting of the camera may not
necessarily be the maximum resolution of the camera. If the user
wants to use the maximum resolution, it is possible to do it here. The
maximum possible resolution of the stream 2 will be smaller than
stream 1.
Frame Rate
Defines the amount of frames per second.
Video Bit Rate Mode
(only for H.264)
Under Constant Bit Rate mode (CBR), the camera keeps the stable “ ”
bitrate regardless of the complexity of the scene. Under this mode, the
video quality may vary if the bit rate value is set too low. It is easier to
do storage and network bandwidth consumption estimations under
this mode compared to Variable Bit Rate mode.
Under Variable Bit Rate mode (VBR), the camera will keep the video “ ”
quality stable while the bit rate may occasionally go up or down,
depending on the complexity of the scene.
Video Max Bit Rate
(only for H.264)
Defines the upper limit of the bitrate (only available under CBR mode).
The bitrate will be floating slightly under that limit. For example, if the
limit is set as 2M, the bitrate will be floating around 1.6~2.0 Mbps.
If the Video Max Bit Rate is chosen as
“ ” “ ”Unlimited , then the Video Bit Rate
selection box will appear that defines
the bit rate level.
Video Bit Rate
(only for H.264)
Under CBR mode, when Video Max Bit Rate is chosen Unlimited“ ”,
the user can define the AVERAGE bit rate. For example, if the Video
Bit Rate is chosen 2M, then occasionally, the actual bit rate may go
below or beyond 2M, but in the long run, the average bit rate will be
very close to 2M. This mode allows the most accurate storage
estimations, however, while planning the bandwidth, please consider
the occasional peaks of bit rate.
Quality
H.264 Compression:
Under VBR mode, the bit rate will be
floating while the video quality will
be stable and follows the quality
standard set by the user. The user
can choose either High Medium or Low quality. The higher is the “ ”, “ ” “ ”
quality level, the more bit rate the camera will use to achieve the
target quality.
MJPEG Compression:
The user can define the quality with the numeric scale from 1 to 100.
The default MJPEG quality is 60. The higher is the quality level, the
more bit rate the camera will use to achieve the target quality.

GOP
(only for H.264)
Under VBR mode it is possible to adjust the GOP length - that is the
occurrence rate of I-frames. By default, there is one I-frame per
second. For example, in case of 30fps, there will be 1 I-frame and 29
P-frames every second by default. When the GOP is changed to “1
I-frame per 5 seconds , then there will be one I-frame, followed by 149 ”
P-frames. In case of the static scenes, long GOP can further minimize
the bandwidth and storage consumption.
