Accessing the Camera Web Interface
After the camera has been installed, use the camera's IP address to access the web interface. The IP
address can be found in the Motorola Camera Configuration Tool (CCT) — Click the Network tab to see
the details of the selected cameras.
After you identify the IP address, complete the following procedure to access the web interface:
Note:The web browser must be configured to accept cookies or the camera web interface will not
function correctly.

You will be asked to create a user with administrator privileges before the device will be
operational. For more information, see Adding a User.
Creating the Initial User
Cameras do not have a default username and password and will be in a factory default state.
Caution: You must create a user with administrator privileges before the camera is operational.
If the camera is in the factory default state, you will be redirected to the New User page to create an
administrator user:

lIf the camera is in the factory default state, you will be asked to create a user with administrator
privileges before the camera will be operational. Use these credentials when logging in.

recorded video directly from the camera.
To access the Storage Management page, click the System tab, and then click the Storage
Management button.
Current information about the camera is presented in theDevice Information section at the top of the

enabled, this feature shows an overlay on the video stream when the card cannot record video,
indicating that you must replace the card.
Enabling Onboard Storage
To use the camera’s onboard storage feature, you must first insert an SD card into the camera. Refer to
the camera’s installation manual for the location of the SD card slot.
The SD card will record from the camera's highest resolution stream. In most cases, this will be the
primary stream.

2. In the Settings and Actions area, click to select the Enable Onboard Storage checkbox.
3. By default, the camera is set to only record to the SD card when it is unable to communicate with

network video management server and to the SD card, click to deselect the checkbox for the
Record only when server connection is interrupted to disable the setting.
4. Select one of the following recording modes:
lContinuous: the camera never stops recording to the SD card.
lOn Motion: the camera only records when there is motion in the scene.
If you are configuring a Pelco video analytics camera, the On Motion setting will record either
pixel change in the scene or analytics motion events depending on how the camera is
configured.
The recorded video will be divided into files no more than five minutes in length or 100MB in size.
