11 Web Configuration Guide - v1
• Enter NTP server address and click Apply.
2. To enable DST, configure the following on the Setup > System > DST Settings page
if required:

Modify IP address and network settings
By default, the HD Ultra X Range cameras cameras use DHCP to get an IP address on initial
startup. Alternatively, you can statically configure the IPaddress and network settings to
allow the camera to work on the required network.
Use the Web configuration pages to change the IP address and network settings.
1. Enter the following network configuration on the Setup > Network > Network
Settings page if required:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
• DNS servers
Control Center requires that the IP address for a device in a site remains fixed. If the DHCP
server has been configured to lease addresses from an address pool, rather than based on
MAC address, the device will not work correctly with Control Center.
Modify camera settings
After the camera has been installed in its final location, you need to adjust the image settings
to ensure that you have the best quality picture.
Use the Web configuration pages to change the camera settings.
1. Adjust the image settings to fit the scene using the options on the Setup > Camera
page.
Adjust the required settings manually, for example:
•Brightness
•Contrast

4CONFIGURING ANALYTICS
The HD Ultra X Range cameras have video analytics capabilities. This section provides
details about the capabilities available and how to configure them for common applications.
Enable motion detection
Motion detection monitors the scene for any motion. When motion in the scene is detected,
the camera triggers an event that can be used to activate an alarm or trigger an action in
Control Center.
Motion detection is configured on the Setup > Events > Motion page.
1. Select an Area from Motion Area 1 to Motion Area 4.
2. Click and drag on the preview image to configure the area.
3. Set Activation to Enable.
4. Adjust Sensitivity if required.
5. Click Save.
Using ACF rate control
Using Activity Controlled Frame-rate (ACF) rate control allows video to be transmitted at a
reduced frame rate when no Event is active, saving bandwidth, and recording disk space.
ACF requires Rate Control settings to be configured and an appropriate Event to be enabled.
Enable ACF
ACF is configured on the Setup > Video&Audio pages.
To enable and configure ACF do the following:
1. On Setup > Video&Audio > Video page, set the Main/Sub stream settings to the
required inactive period values, for example, 1 fps, 1024 kbps.
2. Set Smart Core to Smart.ACF.
3. Click Apply.
4. On Setup > Video&Audio > SMART.ACF page, select Main/Sub stream and
configure the required active period values, for example, 30 fps, 4096 kbps.
5. Set the required Hold On Time. This is the period that the ACF mode will remain
active after the triggering event ends.
6. Select the required Trigger Event (Motion,Alarm Input, or both).
7. Click Apply.

15 Web Configuration Guide - v1
ACF activation and duration
Active Motion or Alarm Events will switch the camera to the ACF mode.
The camera will then run in the ACF mode for the configured ACF Hold On Time:
Codec and Resolution are not configurable for ACF use. All ACFconfigurations use the
same values for Codec and Resolution as set on the Video page.
