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

To upload Web Server certificate on the device web interface Security > Advanced > Web Server Certificate.
Client Certificate
This certificate verifies the server to the Akuvox door phone when they want to connect using SSL. The door phone verifies the server's certificate against its client certificate list.
To upload and configure client certificate on the same page.
Parameters Set-up:
-

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.
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
You can adjust various motion detection settings on the device web interface, such as the time interval, the sensitivity level, the notification method when motion is detected, and more.
Path: Surveillance > Motion > Motion Detection Options.
Parameters Set-up:
-
Suspicious Moving Object Detection: select Disable to disable the motion detection. Select Video Detection to enable the video-based motion detection during the monitoring for the suspicious moving object.
-
Sensitivity Threshold: the higher threshold is, the higher sensitivity will be.
-
Time Interval: set 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”.
