Introduction 1

Accessing the Camera Web Interface
After the camera has been installed, you need the camera's IP address to access the web interface. The IP
address can be found in the following:
lThe Avigilon Control Center (ACC) software — Open the Setup tab to see the details of the selected
camera.
lMotorola Solutions' Camera Configuration Tool (CCT) — Go to the Network tab to see the details of the
selected cameras.
Once you have the IP address, complete the following procedure to access the web interface:
Note: The web browser must be configured to accept cookies or the camera web interface will not
function correctly.
1. On a computer with access to the same network as the camera, enter the camera's IP address into a
web browser:
http://<camera IP address>/
For example: http://192.168.1.40/
2. You will automatically be prompted to enter your username and password to access the camera. If the
device is in the factory default state and was manufactured after January 1, 2020, you will be asked to
create a user with administrator privileges before the device will be operational. For more information,
see Creating the Initial User and Logging In below.
Creating the Initial User and Logging In
Cameras manufactured after January 1, 2020, do not have a default username and password and will be in a
factory default state.
Important: You must create a user with administrator privileges before the camera is operational.
Tip: Cameras manufactured before January 1, 2020, have a default username and password you can
use to log in. For more information, see Logging In on the next page.
If the camera is in the factory default state, you will be redirected to the Add User page to create an
administrator user:
Accessing the Camera Web Interface 2

1. Enter a new User Name or keep the default administrator name.
2. Enter a new Password for the user. We recommend using a complex and unique password. Avoid
using an empty password as they are not supported across all platforms and devices.
3. Confirm the new password.
4. For the first user, Administrator must be selected in the Security Group drop-down menu.
5. Click Apply. After creating the user, you will be asked to login.
Logging In
You will automatically be prompted to enter your username and password to access the camera.
lIf the camera is in the factory default state and was manufactured after January 1, 2020, you will be
asked to create a user with administrator privileges before the camera will be operational. Use these
credentials when logging in.
lThe default username for most cameras is administrator with no password.
Tip: It is recommended that you add a password after your first login. For more information, see
Editing Users and Passwords on page33.
Logging In 3

Live View
After you log in, the first page you see is the Live View. The Live View contains an image panel that displays
the live video stream.
Use the menu links in the top-left corner to navigate through the web interface. Click Live View any time to
return to this page.
Tip: Features and options are disabled if they are not supported by the camera.
Saving a Still Image
If you see the Save Still to SDCard button from the Live View page, the camera supports the ability to take
snapshots of live video from the web interface.
To use this feature, the following settings are required for the camera:
lThere is an SD card inserted in the camera. For more information, see the camera's installation guide.
Saving an image to the SD card is not supported if you are using FIPS Level 3 encryption with a CryptR
micro card inserted in the SD slot.
lThe camera's onboard storage settings are enabled on the Storage page. For more information, see
Storage on page26.
lThe camera's video format must be set to MJPEG in the Compression and Image Rate page. For more
information, see Compression and Image Rate on page20.
Once all the requirements have been met, you can click Save Still to SDCard and the image that is displayed
in the Live View page is automatically saved to the SD card.
To download the snapshot, see Downloading Recorded Video from the Web Interface on page28.

Setup
Note: Certain options are not displayed if they are not supported by the camera model you are using
or if you do not have the required user permissions.
The factory default settings allow you to use the camera or encoder immediately after installation. If you have
special requirements, you can customize the settings through the web interface. In the top-left menu area,
click Setup to display all the available setup pages.
A Restore Defaults button is available on each setup page to restore the factory default settings.
Be aware that some settings are only available through the camera's web interface and cannot be changed in
the network video management software.
For information specific to H4 Edge Solution (ES) cameras, see ACC™ ES Camera on page37.
For settings that are specific to the H4 Thermal Elevated Temperature Detection cameras, see the H4
Thermal Elevated Temperature Detection Camera User Guide.
Setup 5

General
When you select Setup, the first page you see is the General page. The General page allows you to set the
camera's identity.
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.
1. In the Name field, give the camera a meaningful name.
2. In the Location field, describe the camera's location.
3. Select the Disable device status LEDs check box to disable the LED indicators located on the camera.
4. Select the Lens Distortion Correction check box to enable an algorithm-based automatic correction
of lens distortion. The camera will reboot when applying this setting.
5. From the Mode drop-down list, select the mode that the camera will operate in.
This option is only displayed for higher bandwidth usage cameras.
lFull Feature — This is the standard operating mode. Offers the full functionality of the camera.
lHigh Framerate — This mode will use the maximum image rate possible but will disable self-
learning video analytics, Unusual Motion Detection (UMD), and tamper detection and WDR on
EScameras.
