⚫ It is recommended to change the service default ports (like HTTP-80, HTTPS-443, etc.) to
reduce the risk of outsiders being able to access.
⚫ It is recommended to set the firewall of your router. But note that some important ports
cannot be closed (like HTTP port, HTTPS port, Data Port).
⚫ It is not recommended to expose the device to the public network. When it is necessary to
be exposed to the public network, please set the external hardware firewall and the
corresponding firewall policy.
⚫ It is not recommended to use the v1 and v2 functions of SNMP.
⚫ In order to enhance the security of WEB client access, please create a TLS certificate to
enable HTTPS.
⚫ Use black and white list to filter the IP address. This will prevent everyone, except those
specified IP addresses from accessing the system.
⚫ If you add multiple users, please limit functions of guest accounts.
v
⚫ If you enable UPnP, it will automatically try to forward ports in your router or modem. It is
convenient for users, but this will increase the risk of data leakage when the system
automatically forwards ports. Disabling UPnP is recommended when the function is not
used in real applications.
⚫ Check the log. If you want to know whether your device has been accessed by
unauthorized users or not, you can check the log. The system log will show you which IP

⚫ 50Hz: reduces flicker in 50Hz lighting conditions.
⚫ 60Hz: reduces flicker in 60Hz lighting conditions.
White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.
Shutter: Set the upper limit of the effective exposure time. The exposure time will be
automatically adjusted (within the set shutter limit value) according to the actual situation.
Gain: Set the upper limit of the gain. The gain value will be automatically adjusted (within the
set gain limit value) according to the actual situation.
Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz can be optional.
Corridor Pattern: Corridor viewing modes can be used for situations such as long hallways. 0,
90, 180 and 270 are available. The default value is 0.
Image Mirror: Turn the current video image horizontally.
Image Flip: Turn the current video image vertically.
Illumination Mode: choose “White light”, “Infrared light” or “Smart supplement light” as
needed.
Smart supplement light: If selected, in low ambient light, the system will automatically turn
on the visible infrared light. Once there are people/vehicles appearing in the detection area, it
will automatically switch to full-brightness visible white light. When people/vehicles leaving the
detection area exceeds the set duration, it will resume to infrared light. See Smart Supplement
Light Configuration for details.
If “White light” is selected, overexposure control and white light mode can be set.
White light mode: Choose “Off”, “Auto” or “Manual”. Please select it as needed.
Overexposure control: Choose “OFF”, “Low”, “Mid” or “High”. This function can automatically
adjust the exposure parameter according to the actual effect of the image, effectively avoiding
detail missing caused by image overexposure, so that the image will be more vivid. Please set
it as needed.
If “Infrared light” is selected, “Smart IR”, “Day/Night Mode” and “Infra-red Mode” can be
configured.
Smart IR: Choose “ON” or “OFF”. This function can effectively avoid image overexposure so
as to make the image more realistic. The higher the level is, the more overexposure
compensation will be given.
Day/Night Mode: Choose “Auto”, “Day”, “Night” or “Timing”.
If “Timing” is selected, you need to set daytime and night time. For example: if “Daytime” is set
to “7:00”, the camera will switch to Day mode at 7:00 o’clock; if “Night time” is set to “17:00”,
16
the camera will switch from Day mode to Night mode at 17:00 o’clock.

3.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration
Go to Image→Video / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, set the resolution,
frame rate, bitrate type, video quality and so on subject to the actual network condition.
Note: The camera parameters of different cameras may be slightly different. The following
pictures and descriptions are for reference only. The real camera interface shall prevail.
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The size of image.
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate, the smoother the video is.
Bitrate type: CBR and VBR are optional. Bitrate is related to image quality. CBR means that
no matter how much change is seen in the video scene, the compression bitrate will be kept
constant. VBR means that the compression bitrate will be adjusted according to scene
changes. For example, for scenes that do not have much movement, the bitrate will be kept at
a lower value. This can help optimize the network bandwidth usage.
Bitrate: It can be adjusted when the bitrate type is set to CBR. The higher the bitrate, the
better the image quality will be.
Video Quality: It can be adjusted when the bitrate type is set to VBR. The higher the image
quality, the more bitrate will be required.
I Frame interval: It determines how many frames are allowed between a “group of pictures”.
When a new scene begins in a video, until that scene ends, the entire group of frames (or
pictures) can be considered as a group of pictures. If there is not much movement in the
scene, setting the value higher than the frame rate is fine, potentially resulting in less
bandwidth usage. However, if the value is set too high, and there is a high frequency of
movement in the video, there is a risk of frame skipping.
Video Compression: MJPEG, H264+, H264, H265 or H265+ are applicable. MJPEG is not
available for main stream. If H.265 / H.265+is chosen, make sure the client system is able to
decode H.265 / H.265+. Compared to H.265, H.265+ saves more storage space with the
same maximum bitrate in most scenes. Compared to H.264, H.265 reduces the transmission
bitrate under the same resolution, frame rate and image quality.
18
Profile: For H.264. Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable.
Send Snapshot: Set the snapshot stream.
Video encode slice split: If this function is enabled, smooth image can be gotten even
though using the low-performance PC.
Watermark: When playing back the local recorded video in the search interface, the
watermark can be displayed. To enable it, check the watermark box and enter the watermark
text.
Click the “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.
Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.
Audio Type: LINE or MIC can be optional. If the internal MIC is supported and used, choose
“MIC”. If you want to use external line-level audio input device, choose “LIN”.
MIC IN Volume: Set the volume as needed.
19

not send out any signals to trigger motion-based recording to the NVR or CMS, even if
there is motion in the video.
Effective Target: Choose “Human” or “Motor Vehicle”. If “Human/Motor Vehicle” is enabled,
the camera will only detect the movement of human/motor vehicle. If no target is enabled,
alarms will be triggered when the moving object appears on the image, including human,
vehicle or other moving objects.
Note: Enabling the Effective Target (for Human or Motor Vehicle) helps detect specific
objects and reduces false alarms. However, note that the accuracy of this feature may vary
due to environmental factors. Adjust settings as needed for optimal performance.
Alarm Holding Time: It refers to the interval time between the adjacent motion detections.
For instance, if the alarm holding time is set to 20 seconds, once the camera detects a motion,
it will go to alarm and would not detect any other motion in 20 seconds. If there is another
motion detected during this period, it will be considered as continuous movement; otherwise,
it will be considered as a single motion.

Appendix 2 Configuration Requirements and Surrounding
Area
1. Auto-focusing function should not be enabled. Enabling auto-focusing may cause
significant changes in the picture, leading to temporary algorithm interruption.
2. Try to avoid excessive obstruction from trees, while also avoiding excessive variations in
lighting conditions in the scene, such as frequent and excessive car headlights, etc., to
improve the accuracy of intelligent functions. The brightness of the scene should not be
too low, as excessively dim scenes will reduce the accuracy of alarms. Adequate lighting
and clear scenery are important conditions.
3. The optimal overhead angle for the camera is between 30 degrees and 45 degrees (see
outdoor installation diagram for 12mm lens).
For pedestrians: It is necessary to include the upper body, with the head and torso.
For vehicles: The downward angle should not be too large (not exceeding the recommended
angle). Oblique and horizontal views are preferred over downward views, and it is
recommended to install the camera with an oblique view.
4. When the camera is detecting, the target should spend at least about 2 seconds passing
through the detection area.
5. Not suitable for scenes with significant changes in lighting.
6. Adjust the camera so that the area needing protection is positioned as centrally as
possible within the field of view. There should be no obstructions in the main thoroughfare
areas. Try to exclude swaying obstructions such as trees, bushes, flags, etc., from the
detection area.
7. Please adjust the camera's installation position or focal length so that the targets of
interest in the frame meet certain size requirements. Optimal target recognition sizes:
The proportion here refers to the ratio of the target's width to the width of the frame. For
example, in a resolution of 1920×1080, the minimum resolution for a person would be 80×160
(w=1920×4%=80, h=1920×8%=160).
