      Tamper Alarm Setting

      The tamper alarm function prevents anyone from removing the devices without permission. It does this by setting off the tamper alarm and making calls to a designated location when the device detects a change in its gravity value from the original one.

      Navigate to the web Security > Basic > Tamper Alarm interface.

      Parameter Set-up:

      • Gravity Sensor Threshold: the threshold for the gravity sensor sensitivity. The lower the value is, the easier the tamper alarm will be triggered. It is 32 by default.

      • Trigger Options: decides what can be triggered when the gravity sensor is triggered.

      Client Certificate Setting

      Certificates ensure communication integrity and privacy. To use the SSL protocol, you need to upload the right certificates for verification.

      Web Server Certificate

      It is a certificate sent to the client for authentication when the client requests an SSL connection with the Akuvox door phone. Please upload the certificates in accepted formats.

      Navigate to the web Security > Advanced > Web Server Certificate interface.

      Parameter Set-up:

      • Index: select the desired value from drop-down list of Index. If you select Auto value, the uploaded certificate will be displayed in numeric order. If you select the value from 1 to 10, the uploaded certificate will be displayed according to the value that the user selected.

      • Select File: click Choose file browse local drive, and locate the desired certificate. (*.pem only)

      • Only Accept Trusted certificates: if select Enabled, as long as the authentication success, the phone will verify the server certificate based on the client certificate list. If select Disabled, the phone will not verify the server certificate no matter whether the certificate is valid or not.

      Upload TLS Certificate for SIP Account Registration

      Before applying for a SIP account from a SIP or a DNS server using the TLS protocol, you'll need to upload a TLS certificate. This certificate is essential for server authentication.

      Navigate to the web Security > Advanced > Web Server Certificate interface.

      Motion Detection

      Motion Detection is a feature that allows unattended video surveillance and automatic alarms. It detects any changes in the image captured by the camera, such as someone walking by or the lens being moved, and activates the system to perform the appropriate action.

      Configure Motion Detection

      Navigate to the web Intercom > Motion > Motion Detection Options interface.

      Parameter Set-up:

      • Suspicious Moving Object Detection: select Disable to disable the motion detection. Select IR Detection to enable the IR sensor-based motion detection. And select Video Detection to enable the video-based motion detection during the monitoring of the suspicious moving object.

      • Time Interval: the time interval for the motion detection. If you set the default time interval as 10 Sec, then the motion detection time span will be 10 seconds. Assuming that we set the time interval as 10 then, and the first movement captured can be seen as start point of the motion detection, and if the movement continues through 7 seconds of the 10 seconds interval, then the alarm will be triggered at 7 seconds ( the first trigger point) and motion detection action can be triggered (sending out notification) anywhere between 7-10 seconds once the movement is detected.“10” Sec interval is a complete cycle of the motion detection before it starts another cycle of the same time interval. To be more specific, the first trigger point can be calculated as the Time interval minus three.

      You can set up the actions triggered by motion detection on the same interface.

      Voice Encryption

      Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) is a protocol derived from the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). It enhances the security of data transmission by providing encryption, message authentication, integrity assurance, and replay protection.

      Navigate to the web Account > Advanced > Encryption interface.

      图片.png

      Parameter Set-up:

      • Voice Encryption(SRTP): choose Disabled, Optional or Compulsory for SRTP. If it is Optional or Compulsory, the voice during the call is encrypted, and you can grab the RTP packet to view.

      User Agent

      User agent is used for identification purpose when you are analyzing the SIP data packet.

      If user agent is set to a specific value, users can see the information from PCAP. If user agent is blank, by default, users can see the company name Akuvox, model number and firmware version from PCAP.

      Navigate to the web Account > Advanced > User Agent interface.

      图片.png

      Parameter Set-up:

      • User Agent: Akuvox is by default.

      Web Interface Automatic Log-out

      You can set up the web interface's automatic log-out timing, requiring re-login by entering the user name and the passwords for security purposes or for the convenience of operation.

      Navigate to the web Security > Basic > Session Time Out interface.

      High Security Mode

      High security mode is designed to enhance the security. It employs encryption across various facets, including the communication process, door opening commands, password storage methods, and more.

      Navigate to the web Security>Basic>High Security Mode interface.

      1.png

      Important Notes

      1. The High Security mode is off by default when you upgrade the device from a version without the mode to one with it. But if you reset the device to its factory settings, the mode is on by default.

      2. This mode makes the old version tools incompatible. You need to upgrade them to the following versions or higher to use them.

      ·PC Manager: 1.2.0.0

      ·IP Scanner: 2.2.0.0

      ·Upgrade Tool: 4.1.0.0

      ·SDMC: 6.0.0.34

      3. The supported HTTP format for relay triggering varies depending on whether high secure mode is enabled or disabled.

      If the mode is on, the device only accepts the new HTTP formats below for door opening.

      • l http://username:password@deviceIP/fcgi/OpenDoor?action=OpenDoor&DoorNum=1
      • l http://deviceIP/fcgi/OpenDoor?action=OpenDoor&DoorNum=1

      If the mode is off, the device can use both the new formats above and the old format below:

      • l http://deviceIP/fcgi/do?action=OpenDoor&UserName=username&Password=password&DoorNum=1

      4. It is not allowed to import/export configuration files in tgz. format between a device with the high security mode and another one without it. For assistance with file transfer, please contact Akuvox technical support.
