High, middle and low can be selected. Recording will be stopped for a few seconds while the mode is changing from non-WDR to WDR mode.

• **HLC**: lowers the brightness of the entire image by suppressing the brightness of the image’s bright area and reducing the size of the halo area.

• **BLC**: if enabled, the auto exposure will activate according to the scene so that the object of the image in the darkest area will be seen clearly.

• **Antiflicker**: Off, 50Hz, or 60Hz. 60Hz is common in the United States.

To clear the privacy mask zones, click the “Clear” button to delete the zones.

Go to Video→Region of Interest. An area in the image can be set as a region of interest. This area will then have a higher bitrate than the rest of the image, resulting in better image quality for the identified area.

1. Click “Enable” and then click the “Draw Area” button.

2. Drag the mouse to set the zones.

3. Set the level.

4. Click “Save” button to save the settings.

For more accuracy, here are some recommendations for installation:

• Cameras should be installed on stable surfaces, as vibrations can affect the accuracy of detection.

• Avoid pointing the camera at reflective surfaces.

• Avoid places that are narrow or have too much shadowing.

• Avoid scenarios where the object’s color is similar to the background color.

• At any time of day or night, make sure the image of the camera is clear and with adequate and even light, avoiding overexposure or too much darkness on both sides.

The alarm will be triggered when objects are removed from or left at the pre-defined area. To set up object removal, go to the Analytics→Object Removal interface.

1. Enable object removal detection and then select the detection type:

• **Enable Left Detection**: Alarms will be triggered if there are items left in the pre-defined area.

• **Enable Item Missing Detection**: Alarms will be triggered if there are items missing in the pre-defined alarm area.

2. Set the alarm holding time and alarm trigger options, which are the same as motion detection.

3. Click “Save”.

5. Set the schedule of the intrusion detection. The setup steps of the schedule are the same as motion detection schedule setup.

Go to the Network Setup→TCP/IP interface. There are two ways for network connection:

• **Obtain an IP address automatically**: The camera obtains a local IP address automatically through DHCP. A typical router has a DHCP server built in, and therefore is able to assign an IP address to the camera.

• **Use the following IP address**: Manually assign a static IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Preferred DNS Server, and Alternate DNS Server.

Click the “PPPoE Config” tab in the TCP/IP settings. Enable PPPoE and then enter the user name and password from your ISP.

If the camera’s IP address will change frequently (e.g., when using PPPoE), the IP change notification function can be used. Click the “IP Change Notification” tab in the TCP/IP settings.

• **Trigger Email**: when the IP address of the device is changed, the new IP address will be sent to the email address that has been set up.

• **Trigger FTP**: when the IP address of the device is changed, the new IP address will be sent to FTP server that has been set up.

Go to the Network Setup→Port interface. HTTP port, Data port and RTSP port can be set.

• **HTTP Port**: The default HTTP port is 80. It can be changed to any port which is not occupied.

• **Data Port**: The default data port is 554. Change it as necessary.

• **RTSP Port**: The default port is 9008. Change it as necessary.

If the camera is set up with a DHCP connection, DDNS should be set for accessing the camera from the internet.

1. Go to the DDNS tab in Network Setup.

2. Enable, save and use DDNS to log in. Check “Enable”, select the Server Type, and click Save. You will see your camera’s DDNS domain name which can be used to access it from the internet.

To get camera status, parameters and alarm information and remotely manage the camera, the SNMP function can be used. Before using SNMP, please install an SNMP management tool.

1. Go to the SNMP tab in Network Setup.

2. Check the corresponding version checkbox (Enable SNMPv1, Enable SNMPv2, Enable SNMPv3) according to the version of the SNMP software that will be used.

3. Set the values for “Read SNMP Community”, “Write SNMP Community”, “Trap Address”, “Trap Port” and so on. Please make sure the settings are the same as that of the SNMP software.

Go to the RTSP tab in Network Setup. Select “Enable” to enable the RTSP function. Note that RTSP streaming is used to stream the video to the NVR, so it is highly recommended to leave this enabled.

• **Port**: Access port of the streaming media. The default port is 9008.

• **RTSP Address**: The RTSP address format that can be used to play the stream in a media player.

• If “Allow anonymous login” is checked, there is no need to enter the username and password to view the video.

If this function is enabled, the camera can be quickly accessed through the LAN. Go to the UPnP tab in Network Setup. Enable UPnP and then enter the UPnP name.

If you need to trigger Email when an alarm happens or IP address is changed, please set the Email here first. Go to Config→Network→Email.

• **Sender Address**: sender’s email address.

• **User name and password**: sender’s user name and password.

• **Server Address**: The SMTP IP address or host name.

• **Secure Connection**: Select the secure connection type at the “Secure Connection” pull-down list according to what’s required.

• **SMTP Port**: The SMTP port.

• **Send Interval(S)**: The time interval of sending email. For example, if it is set to 60 seconds and multiple motion detection alarms are triggered within 60 seconds, they will be considered as only one alarm event and only one email will be sent.

• **Recipient Address**: receiver’s email address.

Click the “Test” button to test the connection of the account.

After an FTP server is set up, captured images from events will be uploaded to the FTP server. Go to the FTP tab in Network Setup and click “Add”.

• **Server Name**: The name of the FTP server.

• **Server Address**: The IP address or domain name of the FTP.

• **Upload Path**: The directory where files will be uploaded to.
