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. 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 Internet Explorer
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 Series 5 IP 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 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
(included on the CD to find the IP address of 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.
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.

6 TruVision Series 5 IP Camera Configuration Manual
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.

modification.
Overview of the camera web browser
The camera web browser lets you view, record, and play back recorded videos as well
as manage the camera from any PC with Internet access. The browser’s easy-to-use
controls give you quick access to all camera functions. See Figure 1 below.
If there is more than one camera connected over the network, open a separate web
browser window for each individual camera.
