TruVision 81 Series IP Camera Configuration Manual 1

Introduction
This is the user manual for the following TruVision®IP camera models:
1080p IP Wi-Fi Desktop IR camera (2 MP):
RS-3230/3231
• TVQ-8101
1080p IP Wi-Fi Bullet IR camera (2 MP):
RS-3250/3251
• TVB-8101
Default settings to access the camera
Default credentials
The camera comes with a user account with administrative rights for configuring all
options on the camera. The user name is “admin” and the password is “1234.” For
enhanced security, we highly recommend changing the default password during initial
setup.
Default network settings
The network settings are:
• IP address (in a network without a DHCP server): 192.168.1.70
• IP address (when using a temporary Wi-Fi connection for installation): 192.168.2.70
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway address: 192.168.1.1
Ports used:
Browser TruVision Navigator
RTSP: 554 RTSP: 554
HTTP: 80 Server/client control port: 8000
Temporary Wi-Fi connection for camera installation
See the Installation Guide for instructions on using the temporary Wi-Fi connection for
setup (recommended method). Please note the following when using the temporary
Wi-Fi connection:
• The LED(s) on the camera blink slowly to indicate that the camera is in the default
setup mode and requires attention.
• The temporary Wi-Fi connection is disabled and setup is interrupted after
connecting an Ethernet cable to the camera. The camera LED(s) stop blinking and
the camera SSID is no longer broadcast.
2 TruVision 81 Series IP Camera Configuration Manual

• The temporary Wi-Fi connection becomes available and setup can continue after
disconnecting an Ethernet cable from the camera.
• Cameras are identifiable on the Wi-Fi network by their unique SSID address, which
is comprised of the camera's model number plus serial number.
• Cameras have WPA2-PSK Wi-Fi security settings enabled by default. The camera's
serial number is the unique default wireless password.
• 192.168.2.70 is used for the default camera IP address and 192.168.2.71 is
assigned to the client. Only one client and IP address are assigned, so only one
user at a time can access the camera in temporary Wi-Fi mode.
TruVision 81 Series IP Camera Configuration Manual 3

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 Apple®Safari®. The procedures described use the Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE) web browser.
Checking web browser security level
When using the web browser interface, ActiveX controls can be installed to connect and
view video using Internet Explorer. However, data such as video and images cannot be
downloaded due to the increased security measure. Check the security level of the PC
to enable interaction with the cameras over the web and, if necessary, modify the
Active X settings.
Configuring IE ActiveX controls
Confirm the ActiveX settings of the 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 be assigned to a website 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 then select Medium. Click Reset, and then click OK in the
Internet Options Security tab window.
5. Click Apply in the Internet Options Security tab window.
Windows users
Internet Explorer for Windows®operating systems have increased security measures to
protect a PC from malicious software.
To ensure complete functionality of the Windows web browser interface, do the
following:
• Run IE as an administrator in the workstation
• Add the camera’s IP address to the IE’s list of trusted sites
4 TruVision 81 Series IP Camera Configuration Manual

To add the camera’s IP address to Internet Explorer’s list of trusted sites:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
3. Click the Security tab, and then select the Trusted sites icon.
4. Click the Sites button.
5. Deselect the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check
box.
6. Type the IP address in the Add this website to the zone box.
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.
Accessing the camera over the internet
Use the web browser to access and configure the camera over the internet.
We recommend changing the administrator password after setup is complete. Only
authorized users should be able to modify camera settings. See “User management” on
page 47 for further information.
To access the camera online:
1. In the web browser enter the camera’s IP address (default is 192.168.1.70). Use the
TruVision Device Finder tool, a feature of the TruVision Device Manager included on
the CD, to find the IP address of the camera and assign it a new address on the
local network (if necessary).
The Login dialog box appears.
Note: Ensure that the Active X controls are enabled.
2. Type the user name and password.
User name: admin
Password: 1234
3. Click Login.
The web browser window appears in live view mode.
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.
