INTRODUCTION:
The System X2 is a Dual Camera Surveillance System utilizing the Flashback 4 Digital
Video Recorder and the Flashback 4G GSM/LTE Modem for streaming of the recorded
video. The System X2 is in a weatherproof enclosure. The video recorder will remain in
the “sleep mode” until it receives an alarm signal from any Intellicam sensor. When the X2
receives a sensor alarm signal, it will wake up and start the video recording.
IMPORTANT: All settings are programmed using theFlashback User Interface.
HARDWARE, CONTROLS, AND INDICATORS:

FLASHBACK 4 SETUP:
Before a cellular connection can be made, the Static IP SIM card, APN, Username, and
Password, and if used, the Server information, have to be entered into the Flashback-4
User Interface. This is accomplished by using the Flashback’s Wi-Fi access point to
access it’s webpage interface. The setup procedure is as follows:
1. Power up the System X2 by connecting the supplied AC power adapter, use of the
Battery Pack during set up is not recommended as you will waste battery power. Once
power is connected, manually trigger the IR-904 sensor, to power up the System X2. Then
wirelessly connect your computer to Flashback DVR via the internal Wi-Fi in your
computer. It may take up 90 seconds before your computer will recognize the Flashback’s
SSID number and you need to make sure your System X2 is within 4 feet of your
computers Wi-Fi signal.
2. Select the Flashback’s (FB-nnnn). Click “Connect” and enter the Flashback’s Wi-Fi
password: fb4wifipw.
3. Once you are connected, open your browser and enter the Flashback’s IP address
172.16.01.1 to open the Flashback Login Webpage. By default, the login user name is
“admin” and the password is “icam1007”.
4. If you are using a Static IP SIM card, enter the “APN” number. Click on the “Network”
Scroll down and click on “4G Modem”. Enter the “APN” number. Once this has been set
up correctly, you can now connect through the Static IP Address for that specific Static IP
SIM card.
5. Recommended Settings while you are setting up and programming the Flashback.
A. Wi-Fi timeout: Set to “Disabled”, this is found under “Network” tab, then scroll
down to the “Wi-Fi” tab.
B. Sleep Mode: Set to “Manual”, this is found under the “System” tab, then scroll
down to “Unit Control”.
C. Date, Time, and Time Zone. Click on the “System” tab, then scroll down to “Date
and Time”. Set the correct Date and Time. Then click on “Paste Current PC Date and
Time”. Make sure you select the correct Time Zone. Click on “Submit” at the bottom
right-hand side of the page to save.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FLASHBACK DEPLOYMENT SETTINGS:
Before you deploy the System X2, we recommend the following settings to maximize
battery life and performance. How to apply these settings is explained on page 6.
1.Trigger Duration: 2 minutes.
2. Wi-Fi timeout: 15 minutes
3. Sleep Mode: Automatic at 15 minutes
NOTE: If the Flashback does not receive additional sensor triggers, it will go
into “sleep mode”. This is the “window” of time that you get after receiving a
SMS text notification to log into the SIM IP address and look at live video or
pre-recorded video.
FLASHBACK ACTIVATION:
The “record time” can be adjusted via the Flashback “Triggers” menu by setting “Duration”.
Figure 1.
The Flashback User Guide states:
The “Duration” is the minimum video record time after the sensor trigger has ended. This
is useful when handling random length triggers from Passive Infrared Sensors, etc. For
example, if the Duration is set to 2 minutes, the Flashback records video for at least 2
minutes after the final sensor trigger. Re-triggering: If additional sensor triggers are
received during this period, the “Duration” timer is reset to an additional two minutes. The
recorded video will be continuous.

Three Key Settings for Optimal Battery Life:
1. Trigger Duration : From the Homepage, click on the “Triggers” tab, scroll
down to “Inputs”. We recommend that both Input 1 and Input 2 be
programmed for 2 minutes. (Fig. 1)
2. Wi -Fi Timeout : From the Homepage, click on “Networks”, scroll down
and click on “ Wi-Fi”, you will see “Wi -Fi Timeout”. We recommend this be
programmed for 15 Minutes . (Fig. 2). Note that the Wi-Fi setting must be less
than or equal to the sleep mode setting.
Fig. 2
3. Sleep Mode – From the Homepage, click on the “System” tab . Scroll down
and click on “Unit Control”, you will find the “Sleep Mode” setting. Program the
setting to “Automatic” and the “Inactivity Period” to 15 minutes (Fig. 3). *The
Sleep Mode value must be greater than or equal to the Wi-Fi Timeout setting,
or the X2 will not go into Sleep Mode. If not, this will cause your batteries to
fail prematurely.

Shake or Tamper Detection
Shake Detection is activated by the amount of mechanical shake
(acceleration), eg physical movement of the System X2 Gateway . Enabling the
“Wakeup” option causes the unit to wake-up from Sleep Mode when the unit is
subjected to the set level of mechanical shake. (Fig. 5) NOTE – This is used to
notify you via SMS text, if someone has tampered with the System X2
gateway. This is not a required setting.
1. Set the Shake Detection, click on the “Triggers” tab. (Fig. 5). Scroll down to
the “Shake” section.
2. “Highlight” the events that you want to occur when a “shake” is detected ,
such as Record, Stream, Snapshot, or SMS.
3. Set the “Shake Level” to 80. The higher the number, the less sensitive the
shake detection becomes.
4. Set the “Duration” to 2 minutes and click on “Submit”.

VIEWING OF PRE-RECORDED VIDEO FILES:
To view pre-recorded video files located on the “SD Card” tab of the Flashback User
Interface, you must have a “VLC” Media Viewer program installed on your computer,
laptop, and or Cell Phone. You can download a free copy at (https://www.videolan.org).
1. From the Flashback homepage, click on “SD Card” tab on the main menu.
2.Click on the “date” of the recording that you want to view.
3. Select “sd1” or “sd2”. sd1 is for the Camera 1, and sd2 is for the Camera 2.
4. Select which recording you want to view. Depending on the number of triggers you had
for that day will dictate the number of videos for that date. (Fig. 4)
5. Once the video has been downloaded you can click on the video. The VLC Media
viewer should open and allow you to watch the selected video. Fig. 4
VMS – Video Management Systems
When using multiple System X2’s, or other recording devices, such as Pole Cameras. We
recommend the use of a VMS such as Airship. We recommend that you contact your
current VMS supplier to check if your VMS is compatible with the Flashback DVR and 4G
manufactured by Ovation, or by contacting Ovation (www.ovation.co.uk)
Please contact Intellicam for information regarding the how to get Airship or how to use it.

Viewing Of Video After Deployment:
Overview: Once the System X2 has been deployed at the surveillance site, if anyone
enters that area and “triggers” a sensor, the System X2 will automatically power up,
start recording video, and will send a text to all pre-programmed Users listed in the
Flashback User Interface, notifying them of alarm activity.
IMPORTANT: The System X2 will be powered “on” for only 15 minutes (unless the
suspect remains in that area and “re-triggers” the sensor, which will cause the System
X2 to remain on for additional time until the suspect leaves that area).
The only time window for you to login into the Flashback User Interface is during this
15 minute period after you have received the initial SMS test message.
1. Once you receive the SMS text message, open your smartphone and click on the
FB4 Webpage that was previously loaded onto your phone. (Example IP
Address: 123.123.123.123).
2. Default login is USER: admin / PASSWORD: icam1007).
3. Once on the FB4 Flashback Homepage, click on “SD Card” tab. The recorded
videos will be displayed by date and time. SD1 is for Camera 1 and SD2 is for
Camera 2. With each sensor activation, there will be, both a “video” and a “still
