1 Product Introduction Overview Thermal Hybrid Camera is based on requirements such as temperature monitoring, fire prevention, safety protection and night vision. This product can help you view videos, videotape an object, test temperature, warn the potential fire, track a cold/hot spot and analyze a special behavior.
Application scenarios Functions Live Table 1-1 Function description Function Description You can view both the visible images and thermal images. Live You can use thermal images to identify an object, and then use visible images to view more details of the object. For those cameras with PTZ, you can use the PTZ to operate the cameras to enlarge the surveillance range and identify details of an object.
Real-time spot temperature monitoring Laser ranging For cameras with temperature measuring, you can check the real-time temperature data of any spot in your monitoring area. For cameras with laser ranging, you can measure the distance between the camera and the object in the middle of the image. Switch video bit stream or streaming protocol. The visible image will be adjusted to the relevant location when you zoom in or out the thermal image. Mark information you need in the surveillance image.
User Management Change password Add, modify or delete a user account. Set the user permissions. Change users’ admin password. External Camera Management You can manage your camera’s external Cameras such as heater, fill light and wiper. Smart Thermal Table 1-4 Function description Function Description Both visible channel and thermal channel have intelligent rules.
Event Table 1-5 Function description Function Description You can implement operation of motion detection and video masking detection. Video detection When there is an alarm, you can implement following operations at the same time such as linkage video recording, alarm output, email delivery, PTZ operation and screenshots. Supports detection of input exception and mutation of acoustic intensity.
Heat map Additional functions Supports outputting real-time heat map information. Then, you can do the further analysis through the heat map tools. Supports enabling or closing temperature testing rules. Supports enabling or closing isotherm. Supports enabling or closing color code articles.
2 Basic Settings Initializing Camera Initialize your Camera and set the user password when you are logging in for the first time or after you have restored your camera to default settings. Initialize the Camera by ConfigTool or through web. This section takes web for example. Ensure your Camera IP address (192.168.1.108 by default) and your PC IP address are in the same network segment. To secure the Camera data, keep admin password well after initialization and modify it regularly.
2.2.1 Modifying One IP Address When there are only a few Cameras or the login passwords of Cameras are different, you can modify only one IP address at one time. Logging in web client to modify IP addresses is taken as an example for detailed description. Log in Camera web interface. Select Setup > Network > TCP/IP. The TCP/IP interface is displayed. See Figure 2-2. TCP/IP Configure TCP/IP parameters. See Table 2-2.
Preparation You have obtained the installation package of ConfigTool. To obtain the installation package, you can consult technical support staffs. You have achieved network communication between PC (which is with ConfigTool) and the Camera. Procedure Click . The Modify IP interface is displayed. Click Search Settings. The dialog box named by "settings" is displayed. Set the network segment of the Camera, admin and password. Then click Save.
Logging in to Web Interface After you have modified the IP addresses, you can log in the WEB interface of the Camera through a browser to operate, configure and maintain the Camera. Background Information To log in the Camera in a smooth way, you need to make sure that the PC connected to the Camera satisfies the following requirements. See Table 2-3.
Live Interface Click Log out on the upper right corner to exit the interface. Resetting Password If you forget the password, you can use the reserved e-mail address to achieve password resetting. Open IE browser and type the camera’s IP address. Then press Enter. The Thermal Camera interface is displayed. See Figure 2-6. Logging in the Camera Click Forgot Password? The Reset the password (1/2) interface is displayed. See Figure 2-7.
Reset the password(1/2) Reset the password. Scan the QR code, and the security code will be sent to the email address you have already fulfilled. Type the security code then. Reset the password in time when you receive the security code, because the security code will be invalid within 24 hours. If you get security codes twice but do not use them, when you get the security code for the third time, the system will prompt failure.
3 Daily Operation Live Cameras of different models might have different functions. The web operation manual is for thermal hybrid cameras of all models. So your final interface shall prevail.
