Figure 14. Settings Page Menus
SYSTEM TAB
The System tab displays the firmware version, device name, enables and disables the power LED, allows
setup of the day and time settings, and permits event system email setup.
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.
IMAGING TAB
General: Includes camera orientation and digital processing settings. The orientation settings allow for
standard or inverted installation of the camera. The digital processing settings adjust the sharpness,
saturation, and contrast of the scene.
Exposure: Adjusts scene detail and contrast. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail
and contrast between white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates
detail in the scene. The camera features auto and manual exposure settings.
Focus: Includes auto back focus and manual focus settings (refer to Focus in the ID Series
Installation/Operation manual or the IDE Series Installation/Operation manual for detailed instructions).
The camera will focus when changes in the scene are detected. Manual focus turns off the auto focus
mechanism and locks the camera at a user-specified position. The manual focus setting is recommended
only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source. The Focus page also
includes Full Range Auto-Focus, Quick Auto-Focus, and Factory Defaults.
Tone Map: Balances the brightest and darkest sections of an image to produce a picture with more
balanced lighting and more detail.
White Balance: Defines how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White
balance is especially effective in scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one
type of light source.
