Network access
This manual explains how to configure the camera over the network with a web
browser.
TruVision IP cameras can be configured and controlled using Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE) and other browsers. The procedures described use Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE) web browser.
Checking your web browser security level
When using the web browser interface, you can install ActiveX controls to connect and
view video using Internet Explorer (the camera is not compatible with Microsoft Edge).
However, you cannot download data, such as video and images due to the increased
security measure. Consequently you should check the security level of your PC so that
you are able to interact with the cameras over the web and, if necessary, modify the
Active X settings.
Configuring IE ActiveX controls
You should confirm the ActiveX settings of your web browser.
To change the web browser’s security level:
1. In Internet Explorer click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
2. On the Security tab, click the zone to which you want to assign a web site under
“Select a web content zone to specify its security settings”.
3. Click Custom Level.
4. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are signed or marked as
safe to enable. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are
unsigned to Prompt or Disable. Click OK.
- Or -
Under Reset Custom Settings, click the security level for the whole zone in the
Reset To box, and select Medium. Click Reset.
Then click OK to the Internet Options Security tab window.
5. Click Apply in the Internet Options Security tab window.
Windows users
Internet Explorer operating systems have increased security measures to protect your
PC from any malicious software being installed.
To have complete functionality of the web browser interface with Windows 7, 8 and 10,
do the following:
• Run the Browser interface as an administrator in your workstation
• Add the camera’s IP address to your browser’s list of trusted sites

TruVision 6MP and 12MP 360° Camera Configuration Manual 5
To add the camera’s IP address to Internet Explorer’s list of trusted sites:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click Tools, and then Internet Options.
3. Click the Security tab and then select the trusted sites icon.
4. Click the Sites button.
5. Clear the “Require server verification (https :) for all sites in this zone” check box.
6. Enter the IP address in the “Add this website to the zone” field.
7. Click Add, and then click Close.
8. Click OK in the Internet Options dialog window.
9. Connect to the camera for full browser functionality.
Activating the camera
When you first start up the camera, the Activation window appears. You must define a
high-security admin password before you can access the camera. There is no default
password provided.
You can activate a password via a web browser and via TruVision Device Manager.
Warning: When the 360° camera is operating, the surface of the housing will be hot to
the touch. The heat buildup is due to the processing power that is required to operate
the camera
Activation via the web browser:
1. Power on the camera and connect the camera to the network.
2. Input the IP address into the address bar of the web browser, and click Enter to
enter the activation interface.
Note:
The default IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.70.

6 TruVision 6MP and 12MP 360° Camera Configuration Manual
For the camera to enable DHCP by default, you must activate the camera via
TruVision Device Manager. Please refer to the following section, “Activation via
TruVision Device Manager”.
3. Enter the password in the password field.
Note: A valid password range must be between 8 and 16 characters. You can use a
combination of numbers, lower and upper case letters, and special characters: _ - , *
& @ / $? Space. The password must contain characters from at least two of these
groups. We also recommend that you reset your password regularly. For high
security systems, it is particularly recommended to reset the password monthly or
weekly for better protection.
4. Confirm the password.
5. Click OK to save the password and enter the live view interface.
Activation via TruVision Device Manager:
1. Run the TruVision Device Manager to search for online devices.
2. Check the device status from the device list, and select the inactive device.
3. Enter the password in the password field, and confirm it.
Note: A valid password range must be between 8 and 16 characters. You can use a
combination of numbers, lower and upper case letters, and special characters: _ - , *

groups. We also recommend that you reset your password regularly. For high
security systems, it is particularly recommended to reset the password monthly or
weekly for better protection.
4. Click OK to save the password.
A pop-up window appears to confirm activation. If activation fails, confirm that the
password meets the requirements and try again.

5. Change the device IP address to the same subnet with your computer by either
modifying the IP address manually or checking the check box of Enable DHCP.
6. Input the password and click the Save button to activate your IP address
modification.
Overview of the camera web browser
Use the camera web browser to view, record, and play back recorded videos as well as
manage the camera from any PC with access to the same network as the camera. The
browser’s easy-to-use controls provide quick access to all camera functions.
If there is more than one camera connected over the network, open a separate web
browser window for each individual camera.
Note: For accurate analysis Ceiling Mount should be selected when setting up the
camera. See “Display control” on page 9. If Ceiling Mount is not selected, the
Application tab will not be visible during setup.

Defining the system time
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of network
devices, such as IP cameras and computers. Connecting network devices to a
dedicated NTP time server ensures that they are all synchronized.
To define the system time and date:
1. Click Configuration > System > Time Settings.
2. From the Time Zone drop-down menu, select the time zone that is the closest to the
camera’s location.
3. Under Time Sync, select one of the options for setting the time and date:
Synchronize with an NTP server: Select NTP and enter the server NTP address.
The time interval can be set from 1 to 10080 minutes.
- Or -
Set manually: Enable the Manual Time Sync function and then click to set the
system time from the pop-up calendar.

Defining RS-485 settings
The RS-485 serial port is used to control extra devices that support the 485 protocol
(Pelco D or Pelco P), such as PTZ devices, lighting devices or other devices. You can
also connect it to an analog PTZ camera, using a 360° camera to control PTZ
movement.
You need to configure these parameters before connecting the camera to any devices.
To set up RS-485 settings:
1. Click Configuration > System > RS485.
2. Select the RS-485 port parameters.
