Shows the current name of the device (hostname). The device name can be set in the Device –> General tab.
- Network
- Shows the state of being connected to the network:
- “online” shown by the green color, or
- “offline” shown with the yellow color, the duration (in seconds) of being offline being specified in brackets.
The state of being online is determined periodically (every 5 seconds) by downloading a small file. Success of the operation defines the state.
- Image Sensor

Shows the version of installed firmware.
2.3.2. Watch video¶
The item at the very top of the menu, “Watch video”, opens by default and shows the camera video in the default format H.264 through RTSP/RTP unless other streaming formats are set:
- Note:
- The browser shows the reduced size of the image; in its initial size, the image would not fit into the screen of some monitors.
- Note:
The time lag between the real objects movement seen by the camera and the received image is about 0.25 second in case of RTSP/RTP streaming.
The browser displays the video by means of a VLC plug-in, which adds up to 2 seconds more to the delay.
For the minimum delay, use either a standalone VLC player with a “–network-caching 200” option:
vlc –network-caching 200 rtsp://camera/H264or an mplayer:
mplayer rtsp://camera/H264

2.3.6. Recording¶
The “Recording” tab manages video and audio recording to files on the Micro SD card:
Recorded files have user-defined time and size limits.
Upon reaching the limit the file is written with several frames until a keyframe is found, whereupon the file is closed. Then a new file opens and begins with the last keyframe.
Thus, subsequent files have a one-frame overlap and always begin with a keyframe.
Files have names derived from their start time in the local timezone:
YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss-msc.ext
- where:
- YYYY - year
- MM - month number
- DD - day of month
- hh - hours
- mm - munutes
- ss - seconds
- msc - milliseconds

Default value: mp4.
2.3.6.3. File size limit¶
The “File Size Limit” input field specifies the maximum media file size in MiB.
Default value: 256.
Since the SD Card is formatted in FAT32, the file size limit is 4 GiB.
It is recommended to specify the size less than 4096 MiB with a good margin, because upon reaching the limit a few frames more and a format-defined “tail” are written.
If the file reaches the 4096 MiB limit, it is forcedly closed by the filesystem, and the recording process stops and does not restart automatically.
2.3.6.4. File duration limit¶
The “File duration limit” input field specifies the maximum duration of the recorded media file in minutes.
Default value: 60.
2.3.6.5. Circular recording¶
To avoid halting of the recording process caused by an SD Card overflow, when the free space decreases below the specified limit, the oldest files are deleted.
2.3.6.6. MicroSD card¶
The “Micro SD card” section is intended for SD Card monitoring and managing.
2.3.6.6.1. Format¶
The “Format” button reinitializes the partition table of the card and makes a partition with a FAT32 filesystem.
Before the formatting the recording processes are stopped and started again after completion of the formatting.
For a 64 GB card the formatting takes 2 to 2.5 minutes.
2.3.6.6.2. Unmount¶
The “Unmount” button unmounts the card filesystem, stopping the recording processes, and allows you to remove the card from the camera safely.
The other techinque of the safe card removal:
Pressing the “Reset” button on the back camera panel for 0.5-1.0 seconds.
If the card is inserted, the “Reset” button changes its function and makes unmounting of the card.
After 30-60 seconds taken for safe termination of the recording process, the card can be removed.
2.3.6.6.3. Mount¶
The “Mount” button mounts the card filesystem, starting the recording processes if the recording was enabled before.
The button is needed only as a complement to the “Unmount” button, because upon the insertion of the card with suitable partinion types, filesystem, and free space, the card is mounted automatically and the recording process is started, if it is enabled.
2.3.6.6.4. State¶
The “State” string displays the current state of the card.
Possible values are:
absent
inserted
The card is inserted into the slot, but is not mounted for some reason (unsuitable card partition or unmounted by the “Unmount” button).
inserted, mounted
The card is inserted into the slot and mounted.
2.3.6.6.5. Partitions¶
The “Partitions” section dispays the list of partitions of the inserted card.
Example:
# MiB type 1 60906 W95 FAT32
where:
2.3.6.6.6. Browse files¶
The “Browse files” button opens the file browser at the root of the card filesystem.
2.3.7. Events¶
The “Events” tab allows to define a reaction to incoming events:
The result of the configuring is the set of rules connecting an incoming event (motion detector, input signal, system startup) to an action (output signal, alarm sound playing, sending of a picture).
2.3.7.1. Add¶
The “Add” button creates a new rule, opening the rules editor:
2.3.7.1.1. Enable rule¶
The “Enable Rule” checkbox enables the rule.
Disabling the rules allows you to save them without applying.
2.3.7.1.2. Name¶
The “Name” input field defines the name of the rule.
It exists only for user’s convenience and performs no function. It can be left empty.
2.3.7.1.3. Event¶
The “Event” pulldown list specifies one of the available incoming events:
System Start
The “System Start” event arises upon starting of the camera.
Input Signal
The “Input Signal” event arises when the corresponing pin of the back panel connector is closed to the ground.
The front of the pulse is considered as an event.
The “Input Signal Number” pulldown menu specifies one of the two available inputs, 1 (pin 14) or 2 (pin 7).
Motion Detector
The “Motion Detector” event is caused by a motion detection signal.
Note: for motion detection an MJPEG codec is required for one of streams.
2.3.7.1.4. Action¶
The “Action” pulldown list specifies one of the available actions:
Output Signal
A logic ‘1’ pulse (about 3.3 V) is applied to Pin 13 of the rear panel connector.
The duration of the pulse is specified in milliseconds by the “Output Signal Duration” input field.
The default state of the output signal is logic ‘0’.
Play Alarm
An alarm audio signal is applied to the (analog) line output of the camera.
Send Picture
A single JPEG frame is sent to the URL defined by the “Destination Address” input field.
scheme://user:pass@someserver.com/some/path/
where:
- scheme - “ftp” or “http” URL scheme
- user:pass - optional username and password of the server
