Security Settings
For greater network communication security, you can enable compliance with the Federal Information
Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 1 or Level 3 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules for
server and camera communication.
Security Settings 12

Note: lFIPS 140-2 Level 1 requires the purchase of a FIPS camera license.
lFIPS 140-2 Level 3 on cameras with an onboard TPM requires the purchase of a FIPS camera
license.
lFIPS 140-2 Level 3 on cameras without an onboard TPM requires the purchase of a CRYPTR
micro card. The CRYPTR card must be inserted into the camera's SD card slot before it can be
enabled.
1. Go to the Security Settings page.
2. In the Encryption Engine drop-down list, select the type of encryption to use:
lOpenSSL is the default option for encryption.
lFIPS 140-2 enables FIPS 140-2 level 1 encryption.
lNXP TPM enables the onboard trusted platform module (TPM) to securely store your
encryption keys. Only cameras that come with the onboard NXP TPM will display this option.
lCRYPTR micro enables the installed CRYPTR card to securely store your keys, meeting FIPS
140-2 level 3 requirements.
Important: Switching the setting to CRYPTR micro will cause the camera to generate a
new key and self-signed certificate. Some certificate and key management may be
required when you enable this setting. If your previous keys were signed by a
certificate authority (CA), the newly generated keys will also need to be signed by the
CA to keep the connection to your camera secure.
The Camera Configuration Tool (CCT) can be used to generate a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR) from the camera and to upload the signed certificate back to the
camera. For more information, see the Camera Configuration Tool User Guide.
3. ClickApply to save your settings.
Important: Changing this setting on your camera will require your camera to reboot and you
will lose the video stream for that time. Avigilon recommends that you apply this setting
during non-critical operating times.
Once CRYPTR encryption is enabled, you can access the CryptR Log page by selecting it in the side menu.
When the CRYPTR micro's internal audit log reaches 80% capacity, entries are automatically pulled from the
CRYPTR micro, logged to the camera's syslog, and the CRYPTR micro's audit log is cleared out. The CryptR Log page will only show entries that haven't been logged to the camera's syslog yet.
Security Settings 13

Note: If the CRYPTR micro card is ejected or becomes unusable while it is inserted in the camera
and enabled, the camera will restart in FIPS 140-2 mode. If the card is re-inserted into the camera,
CRYPTR micro will need to be re-selected as the Encryption Engine to continue using the CryptR
micro card to store your keys.
Image and Display
Tip: Features and options are disabled if they are not supported by the camera.
Note: If a camera with video analytics or unusual motion detection is physically moved or adjusted,
or if the focus or zoom level is changed, reset the learning progress to provide accurate results. If the
camera's image rate and compression or display settings are updated, the learning progress may
reset automatically.
On the Image and Display page, you can control the camera’s day/night and exposure settings.
The Image and Display page includes an image panel that displays the camera’s live video stream. When you
click Apply to save your changes, the video stream is updated to use the new settings.

oClick > to take a small step.
oClick Inf to focus at infinity.
lIf available, click Auto Focus to let the camera focus itself.
Note: Once the focus is manually set, it will not change.
3. If the camera becomes defocused while in monochrome mode at night, adjust the IR Focus Offset
slider to compensate for the focus shift caused by the built-in or external IR illuminators.
4. To set how the camera compensates for the environmental lighting conditions, define the following
settings:
lDay/Night Mode: Use the Day/Night Mode drop-down list to set how the video image switches
between day and night mode.
oAutomatic: When the light level is above the day/night threshold, the video image will be
in color. When the light level goes below the day/night threshold, the camera will
automatically open the IR cut filter and switch to monochrome mode. If IR illuminators
are enabled, they also turn on.
oCheck the Restore Automatic after Timeout box to automatically restore the Day/Night
mode to Automatic after a certain timeout period. The Timeout field can be assigned a
value between 5s and 3600s for the timeout period.
oUse the Day/Night Threshold slider to set the day/night threshold. Move the slider to
select the light level when the camera switches between day mode and night mode. The
slider is only available when the Day/Night Mode setting is set to Automatic.
The slider may display one of the following values:
nDay/Night Threshold (EV): The slider value is in Exposure Values (EV).
In day mode, the last known light level is displayed under the image panel and is
also shown as a blue bar on the Day/Night Threshold slider.
nDay/Night Threshold (gain dB): The slider value is in decibels (dB).
oUse the Hysteresis setting to refine the threshold offset.
oChoose Low when the camera should switch from day to night in scenes where
the difference between light and dark levels are small.
oChoose High when the camera should switch modes when the difference
between light and dark levels are large.
oThe default value is Medium.
oColor: The video image will always be in color.
oMonochrome: The video image will always be monochrome.
Image and Display 15

oExternal: The camera will open the IR cut filter and switch to monochrome mode based
on the digital input circuit state.
Note: The default digital input circuit state is configured on the Digital Inputs
and Outputs page. For more information, see Digital Inputs and Outputs on
page29.
lDay/Night Delay (seconds): Set the delay time, in seconds, before the Day/Night mode switch
is made once the set threshold is reached.
lEnable IR LED in Night Mode: You can manually enable or disable the IR illuminators that are
installed on the camera. If unchecked, the IRLEDs will not turn on in Night mode.
lEnable Adaptive IR Compensation: You can enable automatic infrared adjustments through
Adaptive IR Compensation. This allows the camera to automatically adjust the video image for
saturation caused by IR illumination.
lShow Auto Contrast ROI: Enabling this option allows you view and select the region of
interest. The contrast is automatically adjusted based on the selected region.
lEnable Night Visibility Check: You can manually enable or disable the night visibility check on
a camera. The night visibility check, when enabled, performs a periodic test switching between
day/night mode to check if there is sufficient light level to switch from night mode to day mode.
When disabled, the camera will use a less optimal method to determine if the light level is

Dynamic Range (WDR). This allows the camera to adjust the video image to accommodate
scenes where bright light and dark shadow are clearly visible.
