You can navigate to Security > Basic > Temper Alarm.

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.

Motion Detection

Motion Detection is often used for unattended surveillance video and automatic alarms. The images collected by the camera at different frame rates will be calculated and compared by the CPU according to a certain algorithm. When the picture changes, if someone walks by, the lens is moved, the number obtained by the calculation and comparison result will exceed the threshold and indicate that the system can the corresponding processing is made automatically.

Configure Motion Detection

You can turn on the motion detection and set up the motion detection interval on the device. Path: Intercom > Motion > Motion Detection Options.

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 for the suspicious moving objects. And select “ Video detection” to enable the video-based motion detection during the monitoring for the suspicious moving object.

  • 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".

  • Day: set up the motion detection schedule.

  • Start Time- End Time: set up the start time and end time on daily basis.

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

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.
