enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, gateway,
and DNS server information. Then select APPLY.
The results window will automatically update with the
newly congured settings. Conrm the information is
correctly congured.
The camera can be accessed by entering the
listed IP address in a web browser (Internet Explorer
recommended). When prompted, install the
ActiveX controls for the best remote web viewing
experience. The default user name is ADMIN and the
default password is 1234.
Note: After rst logging in to the IP camera, you will
be prompted to change the default password to a
secure password. This is highly recommended for all
users to ensure proper device security.

5. Troubleshooting
Common Issues Answered
Can’t nd the camera IP address using MDLoad or other software:
• Make sure Ethernet and/or DC power cables are correctly connected to the camera.
• Make sure the PoE switch or DC power source meets the camera power requirements.
If using PoE, make sure the PoE switch is powered on.
• Make sure the PC is on the same network as the camera. Ping the camera’s IP address.
On your PC, go to Start>Programs>Accessories >Command Prompt. Type ping then the
camera’s local IP address and press Enter. If you get the message “Request timed out,”
PC and camera are not on the same network or camera is not connected. Camera is
connected if you receive replies.
• Camera set for static IP mode using an incorrect IP address. By default, the camera is set
for DHCP mode, which means it will automatically obtain an IP address from your router.
Reset the camera to factory default settings by removing the camera dome cover and
pressing the reset button for 5 seconds or more.
Can’t connect to the camera on a web browser using local IP address:
• See steps above.
• Verify the camera’s local IP address using one of the methods listed in
“Finding the Camera IP Address.”
Can’t connect to camera on a web browser using a DDNS address:
• Port forwarding not set up. Make sure the HTTP port (default: 80) is forwarded on your router
to the camera local IP address.
• Multiple cameras using same port number to connect. Congure each camera to use
different ports and port forward the new ports.
• DNS servers not set correctly in the camera network settings
• If DHCP is enabled on the camera and connected to an NVR, the NVR will congure the
default settings of the camera.
Can’t connect to camera video on a web browser:
• If using IE, make sure to install ActiveX plug-in or Adobe Flash Player.
• If using a browser other than IE. (e.g. Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox), make
sure the latest version of Adobe Flash Player is installed.
Video performs poorly on browser:
• Insufcient bandwidth available for high-quality stream1. Select stream 2 under Stream.
Stream 2 provides a lower resolution to conserve bandwidth and improve performance on
low-bandwidth connections.
• If using IE, click the message above the video area to use ActiveX plug-in instead of Flash
Player. ActiveX may provide smoother video performance.

7. Activating video Analytics and Deep Learning Video
Analytics
Video Analytics
This camera is equipped with video analytics functionality, including line crossing, area
entrance/exit, loitering, stopped, and object removed detection, that can be used from the
Concept Pro suite of recorders.
To use video analytics, you must rst ensure the license is recognised by the recorder. To do this,
rst connect the camera to the Concept Pro recorder over the network or through its PoE ports.
Then, through the recorder user interface, navigate to <MENU> ➔<SYSTEM SETUP> ➔<SYSTEM>
➔<LICENSE>. Click <ADD AUTOMATICALLY> if the recorder is connected to the network to
automatically add the license for all valid connected cameras.
Alternatively, the individual camera license can be found by logging into the camera web
interface, navigating to <SETUP> ➔<SYSTEM> ➔<LICENSE>. The license should be listed in this
menu. The license can then be manually added to the recorder <LICENSE> menu should the
automatic option not properly update.
Once the license is applied, simply navigate to the <CAMERA> - <VA SETUP> menu to setup
video analytics. Select the desired channel and turn ACTIVATION to ON.
Click START WIZARD and follow the instructions to congure a new VA rule, calibrate the
accuracy of the camera, and congure related settings. Alternatively, click ADD in the rule
tab to manually congure settings. Click the SCHEDULE tab to customize the VA schedule.
Note: Performing CALIBRATION is recommended to increase the video analytics accuracy.

IP CAMERA QUICK START GUIDE
Deep Learning Video Analytics
This camera can also be used with select Concept Pro recorders to provide highly accurate
deep learning video analytics, including human, animal, and/or vehicle intrusion detection
and illegal parking detection. This level of object classication is far more accurate and
intelligent than traditional video analytics and can help focus your system on what is of
primary importance.
In order to use Deep Learning VA with this camera, please contact your seller to purchase
a license for the recorder the camera will be connected to. Once this license is purchased
and activated by the seller, navigate through the recorder user interface to <MENU> ➔
<SYSTEM SETUP ➔<SYSTEM> ➔<LICENSE>. Click <ADD AUTOMATICALLY> if the recorder is
connected to the network to automatically add the license for the recorder. Alternatively,
manually add the license key as informed by the seller.
Once the license is applied, navigate to <CAMERA> - <DLVA SETUP> to begin conguring
your next generation intelligent analytics.
Select a desired channel and ensure DLVA is activated. Use the four corners of the video
preview to adjust the target monitoring area. Select Intrusion Detection or Illegal Parking
Detection and congure the settings as desired.
Thumbnails of detected objects will display in the live screen timeline. Move the mouse to
the right side of the live UI to display the timeline and click the DLVA Tab on the top of the
timeline to display these thumbnails. Click a thumbnail to initiate quick playback.
A corresponding DLVA Search menu is also available to quickly search video for desired objects.

IP CAMERA QUICK START GUIDE
Increasing Camera Video Stream Bit Rate
Navigate to <MENU> - <CAMERA> - <CAMERA SETUP> - <STREAM SETUP> to congure the
camera bit rate as desired (up to 8Mbps for rst stream, up to 2Mbps for second stream).
With Smart Storage Compression (SSC) off by default, the system will record video streams at
higher bit rates, and preserve this bit rate no matter the record FPS.
NOTE: Changing all channels on an NVR to use the maximum bit rate in constant bit rate
mode is not recommended as this will increase bandwidth and storage requirements, as well
as potentially shorten the lifespan of connected hard disks.
Please carefully review installation requirements and select the best streaming and recording
settings that balance desired image quality with recording longevity and system stability.

IP CAMERA QUICK START GUIDE
7. Optimising video for image quality and storage requirements
All Concept Pro cameras & recorders come with features designed to help balance the
need for high quality images and lower storage requirements. Selecting the proper settings
for each camera can help optimise your system and balance image quality with storage
requirements.
Constant Bit Rate
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) applies a specic bit rate for the video stream and the camera will
transmit at approximately this bit rate without regard to time, light level, scene complexity,
or other factors. As a result, the image quality will appear improved, but bandwidth and
storage requirements will be the high.
Variable Bit Rate
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) automatically adjusts the bit rate according the scene being
monitored. With VBR enabled, the image quality will decrease when there is less or no
motion occurring and increase when scene complexity increases. As a result, bandwidth
and storage requirements can be considerably reduced while the image quality will be
focused on scenes of actual importance.
VBR+
Similar to other smart codecs, VBR+ is a more intelligent video processing feature that can
more aggressively apply techniques to dramatically reduce the bit rate by only focusing
optimal image quality according to scene complexity.
Regions of Interest
Regions of Interest can be manually set with the area denoted ‘of interest’ or ‘not of
interest’. According to the setting, the camera will apply optimal image quality to the area
and low image quality to outside areas to help reduce bit rate further
Auto ROI is another option that allows the camera to intelligently track moving objects and
apply optimal image quality to moving objects only while the background image quality
would be lower.
Smart Storage Compression (SSC)
SSC on Concept Pro NVRs is designed to limit the camera bit rate according to the
recording FPS value. With Smart Storage Compression (SSC) set to ON, the system will reduce
the maximum bit rate to 4Mbps for the main stream and 1Mbps for the sub stream. It will
also automatically adjust the max bit rate according to the record FPS setting. SSC therefore
attempts to balance image quality with recording frame rate for additional savings in
bandwidth and storage.
H.265
H.265 is a new video compression codec that allows for more optimal compression of video
streams compared to the H.264 video codec. When combined with VBR, this can result in
a considerable reduction in bit rate compared to H.264 without a major trade off in image
quality.
Note: Performance of bit rate control schemes and video compression codecs depends
upon the installation environment.
