  • Page 98 VIVOTEK Network: This rule allows the user to assign a network address and corresponding subnet mask to the Allow/Deny List. The routing prefix is written in CIDR notation. For example: accesses from IP address 192.168.2.x will be bolcked. If IPv6 filter is preferred, you will be prompted by the following window. Enter the IPv6 address and the two-digit prefix length to specify the range of IP addresses in your configuration.

    Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides whether to accept the end user’s access request. ■ VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP and EAP-TLS. Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings: 1.
  • Page 100 VIVOTEK 3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically. NOTE: ► The authentication process for 802.1x: 1. The Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates to the Network Camera (the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).

    VIVOTEK Event > Event settings This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to respond to particular situations (event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications. Click on Help, there is an illustration shown in the pop-up window explaining that an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices.
  • Page 104 VIVOTEK ■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting. ■ Enable this event: Select this checkbox to enable the event setting. ■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher priority setting will be executed first.
  • Page 105 VIVOTEK ■ Audio detection A preset threshold can be configured with an external microphone as the trigger to system event. The triggering condition can be an input exceeding or falling below a threshold. Audio detection can take place as a complement to motion detection or as a method to detect activities not covered by the camera's view.
  • Page 106 VIVOTEK 3. Action Define the actions to be performed by the Network Camera when a trigger is activated. ■ Trigger digital output for seconds Select this option to turn on the external digital output device when a trigger is activated.

  • Page 118 VIVOTEK on page 103. A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered because the image variations still fall under the defined threshold. Percentage = 30% If you want to configure specific motion detection settings individually for day/night/schedule operations, please click Profile to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page as shown below.
  • Page 119 VIVOTEK NOTE: ► How does motion detection work? There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects.

Connect the digital output pin of the Network Camera to an external device to determine the current status.

  • Page 121: Applications > Audio Detection

    VIVOTEK Applications > Audio detection Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios: 1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a door/window. 2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of machines.
  • Page 122 VIVOTEK You can use the Profile window to configure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night. 1.
