Connection

Accessing the Camera

The camera can be accessed directly from its web page or using Vicon’s PRONTO Device Manager,

which can be found on Vicon’s website. Note that when accessing the camera for the first time, a

message will display to reset the password.

Since this is a network-based camera, an IP address must be assigned. The camera’s default IP

address is obtained automatically through a DHCP server in your network; be sure to enable DHCP in

"Network Settings." If DHCP is not available, the camera will use APIPA (link-local address); IPv4 link-

local addresses are assigned from address block 169.254.0.0/16 (169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255).

Connecting from a Computer

Make sure the camera and your computer are in the same subnet. Check whether the network

available between the camera and the computer by executing ping the default IP address. To do this,

simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the “Start Menu”, select “Program”. Then select

“Accessories” and choose “Command Prompt”), and type “Ping” and then type in your IP address. If the

message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.

Start a browser, e.g., Chrome, and enter IP address. A login window as shown below should pop up.

In the window, enter the default user name: ADMIN; it is required to change the password for added

security, which requires at least 8 characters including 1 uppercase letter, 1 special character,

alphanumeric characters to log in.

Further administration on the unit can be found in "Configuration."

PRONTO Device Manager

PRONTO is Vicon’s device manager (Discovery tool) that can be used to discover all Vicon cameras

on a system.

Figure: PRONTO Interface

•Upon startup of the PRONTO Device Manager, the tool’s auto-discovery function generates a

list of the discovered cameras on the network in a resource list.

•There are a variety of filtering options, including filter by All Devices/IP Device/ONVIF Device;

IP range or text.

•There are tabs for Device Properties, Network Settings and Firmware.

V2000/V2100 User Guide

Live View

After accessing and logging in to the IP address of the camera, there are 3 main options on the upper

left side: “Live View,” “Playback” and “Configuration.” The upper right corner indicates the current user

level and has the “Logout” option, which allows user to log out by clicking it. In addition, the dropdown

menu beside the Configuration tab is used for changing the UI language. This chapter mainly focuses

on Live View; later chapters will detail Playback and Configuration.

display. Additionally, in JPEG mode a Snapshot button is provided for users to take a still picture

and save it in a predefined folder.

V2000/V2100 User Guide

Playback

The cameras provide a method to play video stored on a micro SD card.

Due to compatibility issues related to video and audio formats, when playing video stored on a micro

SD card, it is highly recommended to use Chrome or Safari browser. Remember that both camera

and browser must support the same format; therefore, it is possible to use any other browser along

with H.265 codec, as long as both camera and browser support H.265 format.

After clicking on the playback function on the upper left side next to Live View, the page displays.

Figure: Playback

Storage device: SD Card

The camera supports a micro SD card storage device.

Event Type: Alarm/Audio/Network Loss/Schedule/Tamper/Motion

After selecting the edge storage, videos can be searched based on type of events that triggered video

recording and date and time recording was stored. Check the boxes to select the type of events that

might trigger the video you are searching for.

Date & Time

The user can select the exact date and time segment to search for recorded video by clicking on a

date on the calendar and entering time, respectively.

The selected date will now have a blue background on the calendar. The current date has a light

brown background.

Finally click the Search button to start searching for videos on timeline area, according to the

parameters chosen.

Timeline: 0.5 ~ 6 (hours)

Timeline is used for adjusting the time range of timeline area in terms of hours; each step from

timeline changes half hour in timeline area. Timeline helps user get more details and a larger scale

view of timeline area for easier search; 6 hours allows search in larger scale while 0.5 hour allows

more details.

V2000/V2100 User Guide

Figure: Timeline Area

User can click and then drag left or right to see other parts of the timeline area. Based on the search

configuration, if there is a video list on the micro SD card, it will be shown on timeline area in different

colors, sizes and times, based on type, duration and time recorded, respectively. Refer to the

illustration below timeline area to understand the relation between type and color.

Selected types will be shown in timeline area according to their respective color bars, while types that

are not selected will be shown in dark blue bars represented as “SD File.”

Current or filtered date and time are shown at the upper center of timeline, where there is a vertical

yellow line that represents the center of timeline area.

V2000/V2100 User Guide

Configuration

After clicking “Configuration,” the screen will display as below, with several menu options on the left

side for users to configure. These will be explained one by one in the following chapters.

1. Encode

1.1 Encode

Figure: Encode Settings

Profile and Streams

Profile

Current Profile: 1/2/3

It is strongly recommended to define different settings under each stream to maintain better video

transmission for varied network environments and applications. By default, there are 3 profiles, and

each profile contains 3 streams for individual configuration. The detailed configurations for each

stream are described in detail below.

Corridor: On/Off (Camera Dependent)

Vertically oriented scenes, e.g., sidewalk, aisle, hallway/corridor, require more details in vertical areas,

so the common 16:9 aspect ratio is not appropriate, and a large portion of bandwidth is wasted in

landscape field-of-view. In order to optimize the image result for corridor-like applications, click “On” to

enable this function; the image will be rotated right 90 degrees to a 9:16 aspect ratio that perfectly fits

portrait-like scenarios, reducing bandwidth and storage consumption.

Streams

Compression

As an example, compression options for the 2 MP models are 1920×1080, 1280×960, 1280×720,

800×600, 640×480, 640x360, 320x240. Higher resolution values are model dependent and frame rates

correspond to the resolution, streams and codec selected.

Note



Refer to the datasheet for the camera model or the “Appendix: Product Comparison-

Max resolution & frame rate” for details.
