The unit has been dropped and the housing is damaged. The unit displays a marked change in performance.
Operation and Maintenance Requirements Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the unit. This part of the unit is hot and may cause a burn. Do not open or dismantle the device; there are no components that a user can fix or replace. Opening the unit may cause water leakage or expose components to direct light. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified service representative to service the camera or to replace a component, including the desiccant.
Cybersecurity Recommendations Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords The number one reason systems get “hacked” is due to having weak or default passwords. It is recommended to change default passwords immediately and choose a strong password whenever possible. A strong password should be made up of at least 8 characters and a combination of special characters, numbers, and upper and lower case letters.
Change ONVIF Password Older IP camera firmware does not automatically change the ONVIF password when the system credentials are changed. Update the camera’s firmware to the latest revision or manually change the ONVIF password. Forward Only Ports You Need Forward only the HTTP and TCP ports that are requited. Do not forward a wide range of numbers to the device. Do not DMZ the device's IP address. Do not forward any ports for individual cameras if they are all connected to a recorder on site.
Connect IP Cameras to the PoE Ports on the Back of an NVR Cameras connected to the PoE ports on the back of an NVR are isolated from the outside world and cannot be accessed directly. Isolate NVR and IP Camera Network Ensure that the network for the NVR and IP cameras should not be the same network as a public computer network. Separate networks prevent unauthorized users accessing the same network the security system.

1 Overview Video Analytics is the most fundamental system in public security, and the most important defense against illegal invasion and other events. This solution covers user’s demands of monitoring perimeter areas and key areas and provides detections against area invasion, tripwire and other events. It can also classify and detect humans and vehicles with high accuracy and perform further filter to reduce false alarm.
2 Deployment Process Use this process to plan, install, and configure the security network and the IP devices.
Networking Diagram 3 Planning This diagram shows how all devices connect to each other in this solution.
4 Installation Confirm that all devices are complete and that they work properly prior to installation and configuration. Installation Guides The following devices are included in this solution. Refer to the installation and user manuals included with each device. No.
4.3.1 Recommended Installation Sites The sites must provide a wide visual field, be open, and display a mostly static scene with few moving objects or drastic changes in lighting condition. The best sites are suitable for cross detection at borders, communities, lawns, railways, highways, underground parking access, pedestrian walkways, and access detection at rooftops and private properties.
Examples Site picture Install cameras at a high position perpendicular to the road to monitor humans and vehicles. Install cameras at park or garage entrances to detect humans entering a roadway or vehicles entering a pedestrian area.
Examples Site picture Configure the tripwire rule at retail entrances.
Examples Site picture 4.3.2 Unsuitable Sites Examples Site picture Large obstacles around the target area that block target objects. Vehicle headlights cause drastic lighting condition changed and can influence detection performance.
Examples Site picture The ambient light is too dark. Black and White images may cause poor performance. Installation Requirements This section details the pixel size requirement for target recognition with different installation types. 4.4.1 Install Cameras Perpendicular to the Perimeter Install cameras on a nearby building or pole that is perpendicular to the perimeter to ensure the widest possible monitoring area.
Install cameras using the following suggestions. Note that a shorter installation distance translates to a smaller monitoring area. The maximum monitoring width for a human target is approximately 12 m (39 ft). The following table lists the relationship between focal lengths and installation distances: Focal Length (mm) Installing distance 2.8 3.6 6.0 8.
4.4.3 Configuring Images After installing cameras, you can login the web interface and configure the image as needed. See more details in the web operation manual. Normally you can keep the default parameters, and you need to ensure that the target edge is clear at night. When the image is over exposed or too dark, you might need to enable WDR. The followings are scenarios that require WDR and the comparisons before and after WDR.
