SETTINGS PAGE
Depending on user permissions, the Settings page allows you to manage camera system settings, set up
users and groups, and control the camera.
To access the camera settings:
1. Log on to the camera.
2. Click the Settings link in the navigation bar located in the upper-right corner of the page; a list of
menu tabs appear.
3. Place the mouse pointer over a tab to display a list of submenus.
SYSTEM TAB
General Settings: Includes configurable fields for the device name, time server, and text overlay settings.
You can also use the General Settings page to configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server
to send an email notification when an event handler is activated.
System Information: Includes read-only fields for the firmware version, hardware version, model number,
and serial number of the system. This information is typically required by Pelco Product Support for
troubleshooting purposes.
NETWORK TAB
General: Displays the hardware address, hostname, DHCP settings, and IP address settings.
SSL: Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encrypts communications making it difficult for unauthorized users to
intercept and view user names and passwords.
SSH: Secure Shell (SSH) allows Pelco Product Support to log on to and service the camera for advanced
troubleshooting purposes.
802.1x: This standard authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access through a wired
or wireless port using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This port-based authentication method
prevents unauthorized access to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a physical port.
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manages TCP/IP-based networks from a single
workstation or several workstations. The camera supports SNMP versions 2c and 3 and can be configured
to send data using a trap.
