How to avoid the overexposure of image

The overexposure of surveillance images can be roughly divided into over-exposure during the day and overexposure at night. The overexposure in the daytime is basically caused by the backlight of the scene, while the overexposure at night is caused by the over-intensity of the infrared reflected light of the object.

Note: Please make sure the lens is clean.

Overexposure in the daytime

The light reflected from the counter is relatively strong, making the counter very bright and unclear

The camera will overexpose in the presence of bright light directed or reflected into the lens. Overexposure will lead to unclear details. During installation, we need to consider scenarios and avoid direct light or strong reflections. If it is unavoidable, we need to adjust the image parameters to alleviate the overexposure.

Step 1: We take the overexposure area as the exposure target and do backlight compensation (BLC), so that the IPC takes the overexposure area as the target to reduce the overall light input. The overexposure area in the figure is near the center, and we set BLC area to be center.

Step 2: After we enable BLC, the IPC reduces the overall light input, so the surroundings will become darker. We can increase the brightness of the surroundings by wide dynamic range (WDR).

Step 3: We can fine-tune brightness and contrast to display the best image.

The following picture shows the adjusted result. (BLC area in center + WDR + brightness 60, contrast 40.) As you can see, the area of counter is clearer. You can further adjust the parameters according to your own image quality.

Overexposure at night

Overexposure due to being next to the wall is quite obvious, as shown below.

When the camera is installed next to the wall, if the angle is too biased towards the wall, the infrared light reflected back from the wall will be too strong, and the wall will be overexposed. If the wall is overexposed, the camera will reduce the shutter exposure time to maintain the overall average brightness of the screen, so that the other part of the screen will be too dark.

Step 1. Adjust angle to reduce the area of overexposed objects in the picture.

Without affecting the monitoring, make the wall area in the picture as small as possible. Firstly, the effective monitoring area can be increased; secondly, if the overexposure area of the wall is reduced, the exposure time of the camera will be increased, and the monitoring image will be clearer.

Step 2. Set BLC area to make dark areas brighter

You can increase the exposure time of the camera by setting the BLC area of the camera. Although the wall or reflective obstacles may be brighter, the effective monitoring area can be seen more clearly.

Step 3. Enable WDR to balance the brightness

Increase WDR can strengthen the details in the dark, and monitoring effect in night vision is better.

Note: Too high WDR will increase the noise in the night vision picture. WDR should be properly increased.

How to upgrade the firmware of VIGI cameras

Method 1: Via the VIGI app

1. On the Live View page, tap the gear icon to enter the Device Settings page.

2. On the Device Settings page, tap on the Firmware Upgrade to check for update or update the firmware.

Method 2: Via the VIGI Security Manager (Windows only)

1. Open the VIGI Security Manager.

2. Go to the Settings page and go to Device > Device Upgrade to update the firmware.

What is the difference between 2.8 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm lens?

Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be. The lager the focal length, the narrower the angle of view and the higher the magnification.

VIGI indoor cameras have a focal length of 2.8/4 mm and VIGI outdoor cameras have a focal length of 4/6 mm. The last digit of the model indicates the focal length of the lens.

For example:

VIGI C400HP-4: The focal length is 4 mm.

VIGI C300HP-6: The focal length is 6 mm.

How to select suitable lens?

The larger the focal length of the lens, the smaller the angle of view, and the farther the monitoring distance. So the camera lens with low focal length is suitable for observing small areas where need a wide angle. If you want to observe the objects closer with a big distance, you’d better select the cameras with a lager focal length lens.

How to rotate the image of my VIGI camera

You can rotate the image via VIGI App, VIGI Security Manager or VIGI NVR. VIGI Security Manager and VIGI NVR has more mirror option than VIGI App.

Here we take VIGI C400HP-4 as an example.

2. On the Device Settings page, go to Device Control > Video Rotation.

3. On the Video Rotation page, you can select Upside Down to rotate the video image 180°.

Method 2: Via VIGI Security Manager

1. Go to Settings > Device > Device List > My Devices and click the settings icon of the camera.

2. Go to Image > Mirror and select Mirror option you want.

Method 3: Via VIGI NVR

Right click to open Main Menu, go to Settings > Camera > Display > Image > Advanced Settings, select Mirror option you want.

How to change the password and Reset Password Email of the VIGI camera

You can change the password and Reset Password Email of the VIGI camera via VIGI Security Manager or VIGI NVR. Reset Password Email is used to receive the verification code when you need to reset the password.

ATTENTION: Prior to purchasing and installing an accessory antenna, read the product specifications of your receiver to determine if your receiver has a weatherproof housing. Installing your weatherproof receiver outdoors provides a better line-of-sight between the receiver and the camera, increasing the strength of the wireless signal. See your product specifications to determine the weatherproof rating of your receiver.

The Directional Wireless Panel Antenna and the Omni-Directional Antenna are used to extend the range of one or multiple wireless or wire-free cameras.

Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9)

Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8)

Use the 2.4GHz Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9) to focus a wireless signal onto one specific wireless device (camera or receiver) to increase the range of transmission. A clear line-of-sight between the antenna and the wireless device needing range extension is required.

Use the 2.4GHz Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8) to enhance the signal of one or multiple cameras that are paired to a single or dual antenna receiver. You may also use two Omni-Directional Antennas to extend the range of all cameras paired to a dual antenna receiver.

REQUIREMENT: To connect the antenna directly to the camera or receiver, the device must have a removable SMA type antenna. Visit www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility to ensure the antenna is compatible with your camera or receiver model.

Lorex Wireless Cameras and Monitors guide 2024

Also Read  : Lorex Camera Troubleshooting

Recommended Antenna Installation Methods

Your antenna needs will vary depending on the setup of your camera system, the number of cameras that require range extension, and the number of channels on your wireless receiver. Review the scenarios below to ensure you have the correct antenna and installation method to meet your needs.

Click a setup scenario to see the recommended installation method:

Combining Accessory Antennas

If you have installed your accessory antenna according to the recommended installation methods and would like to enhance wireless signal strength even further, you may add an additional Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9) directly to a camera. The additional Directional Wireless Panel Antenna can be used with a Directional Wireless Panel Antenna or with an Omni-Directional Antenna attached to the receiver.

Click an antenna combination to see recommended installation methods:

Scenario 1: Extend the range of one camera paired to a single antenna receiver

To extend the range of one camera connected to a single channel receiver, use the Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9).

The Directional Wireless Panel Antenna can be connected in two configurations.

Configuration 1. Connect the antenna directly to the camera

Configuration 2. Connect the antenna directly to the wireless receiver

REQUIREMENT: The antenna connects using an SMA cable and replaces the existing antenna on either the camera or wireless receiver. Check www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility to determine if your product is compatible with the antennas.

Scenario 2: Extend the range of one camera paired to a dual antenna receiver

To extend the range of one camera connected to a multi-channel receiver, use the Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9). Connect the Directional Wireless Panel Antenna directly to the camera.

Scenario 3: Extend the range of select cameras paired to a dual antenna receiver

To extend the range of select cameras on a multi-channel receiver, use the Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8).

Connect the Omni-Directional Antenna to one of the antenna ports on the wireless receiver.

REMINDER: Each antenna port on a dual antenna receiver is associated with specific camera channels. One antenna communicates with odd numbered channels (1, 3, and 5), while the other antenna communicates with even numbered channels (2, 4, and 6). See the table below for dual antenna channel configurations.

If you connect the Omni-Directional Antenna to an antenna port and your wireless signal does not improve, try switching the Omni-Directional Antenna to the other antenna port or pairing your camera to a different camera channel.

Scenario 4: Extend the range of all cameras paired to a dual antenna receiver

To extend the range of all cameras on a dual antenna receiver, connect an Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8) to each antenna port on the receiver.

IMPORTANT: Two Omni-Directional Antennas are required to accommodate this setup.

Combination 1: Combine two Directional Wireless Panel Antennas

If you are using a Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9) to enhance the signal of a single camera with a single channel receiver, you can use an additional Directional Wireless Panel Antenna to further enhance the wireless signal.

Connect one Directional Wireless Panel Antenna directly to the camera and one Directional Wireless Panel Antenna directly to the wireless receiver. To maximize signal strength, it is recommended to aim the two antennas directly at each other with a clear line-of-sight.

Combination 2: Combine a Directional Wireless Panel Antenna with an Omni-Directional Antenna

If you are using an Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8) to enhance the signal of multiple cameras, you can further enhance the signal of a specific camera by connecting a Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9) directly to the camera.

A clear line-of-sight between the Directional Wireless Panel Antenna and the Omni-Directional Antenna is recommended to maximize signal strength.

Security Cameras: Understanding Field of View (FOV)

Field of View (FOV) is the maximum observable area that is seen at any given moment through an optical device such as a camera lens. The coverage of the area can be measured using the horizontal and vertical distances to find the diagonal of the area in degrees. Mathematically, the FOV is calculated using the horizontal dimension of the sensor (h) and the Focal Length (F).

You can find the camera’s Field of View details in the Specifications sheet. Click here for additional support content including security camera documentation.

The Camera Lens, Sensor and Focal Length

Focal length (F) is the distance between the center of a lens and its sensor. The size of the lens is the aperture size.

These factors affect field of view. A narrower focal length captures more of the scene and displays a larger field of view. A wider focal length magnifies a scene and decreases the field of view. The higher the focal length value the lower the FOV.

Types of Camera Lenses

Fixed: a fixed camera focal length provides an Angular FOV which is permanently set and cannot be adjusted by the user. Varifocal: the camera focal length can be manually adjusted by the user. Generally, this is done manually with screws or dials. At Lorex we have motorized varifocal cameras that allow you to digitally zoom using your phone or NVR without losing details. These lenses provide flexibility and customization for your camera image needs.

The importance of Field of View

A wide angle lens or smaller lenses produce a greater field of view and captures more objects in a scene enhancing your ability to cover larger and wider areas such as foyers, parking lots or warehouses.

A narrow angle lens or larger lenses produce a smaller field of view; capturing a limited area, but the camera quality image improves in detail. These are designed to monitor a specific object, such as cash registers, entrances/exits, hallways or objects of value.

How to Calculate the FOV

To calculate the FOV requires the sensor size and the focal length of the lens: h = Sensor Size F = Focal Length of the Lens

FOV is represented by this equation: FOV = 2tan-1(h) / 2F

Example: h = 4.7mm F = 6mm FOV = 2tan-1(h) / 2F = 2tan-1(4.7)(12) = 2tan-1(0.39) = 2(21.4°) = 42.8°

LaView NET app:

*If using 4G/LTE with bad signal, you may not obtain a picture. Attempt using a strong signal.

What is an NVR?

An NVR, or “network video recorder” is a central unit that processes, records, and manages footage recorded by your surveillance cameras. An NVR recorder allows you to review and save footage, set up a recording schedule, and manage your surveillance.

Are Your Surveillance Camera Systems Hard to Set Up?

No. We have a full library of helpful videos and/or step-by-step directions for the components you purchase. Find the best surveillance camera system here, and your DIY experience will be smoother and easier than you can imagine.

Are There Any Front Door Peephole Cameras with Remote Viewing on My Cell Phone?

Definitely. We offer a front door peephole camera with remote viewing to any mobile device, fully-customizable motion detection, IR night vision, and full HD resolution.

What are the Advantages of Installing a Wifi Security Camera System?

A wifi security camera system is significantly easier to install than a traditional system, because there is no need to run special wires to each wifi camera. This not only helps the day of installation, but also allows clients to position cameras in places they might not otherwise be able to place them.

I tried to change the name of my camera, but I’m getting “Camera Does not support this function”.

It is possible that there are no cameras connected to that specific channel or the camera has lost connectivity. If you are using a third-party camera it is possible the ONVIF protocol supported by camera is outdated which does not support OSD configuration.

Is it possible to connect a third-party camera to a LaView NVR, or a LaView Camera to a third-party NVR?

Yes, if the third-party devices support the ONVIF protocol and you are using the correct setup for the specific camera.

I’m having issues connecting my NVR to my phone

Possible Fixes:

1.Please go to Menu-Configuration-Network and under the General tab make sure enable DHCP is selected, if it is not enabled then select enable and apply. If you had to enable it, restart the NVR and try the P2P setup again.

2.If you are still having issues, make sure DDNS is NOT enabled(unchecked). If DDNS is checked, uncheck it and apply then go back to Platform Access and disable P2P and apply. Once both are disabled, do a power cycle and reboot the unit. After the unit restarts enable P2P again, and do another power cycle.

3.Go to Extranet Access, Platform Access or DDNS and make sure LaView P2P is selected then apply, also make sure “Enable Stream Encryption” is disabled.

4. If none of these work, then it could be a network issue. Try to restart your modem/router by unplugging it for about 45 seconds. Plug it back in and restart the NVR, then try to reconnect your system to the P2P account.

How Do I find my system’s IP address?

To find your system’s IP address go to Main Menu>Maintenance>System Info>Network. The IPv4 Address at the top is your local IP. If your IP address is 0.0.0.0 or 192.0.0.64, this means your system is offline. There are a few causes from this, but usually, it’s a bad ethernet cable or the cable is not plugged in properly to either the DVR or Router. If those are checked to be correct, try restarting your router by unplugging it for a minute and restarting the DVR.

Can I Access a Feed from My Wifi Camera on My Cell Phone?

Yes. View your recordings or live footage anytime, anywhere! You can even and receive mobile push notifications. Stay connected at all times to your wifi camera system by simply downloading the free LaView Connect app, and enjoy your new window into your home.

Which Surveillance Camera Resolution is Best for Me?

The higher the resolution the more details you can capture in your footage. As this graphic shows, there can be noteworthy differences between a 1080p camera system, a 4MP camera security system, and a 4k security camera system. The only disadvantage to higher resolution cameras is that they consume more memory. High resolution cameras function best with motions detection cameras or larger hard drives. Many clients mix and match cameras for different applications. Feel free to call us at 626-898-4988 to discuss the best options for your specific situation.

Add the IP camera to the NVR by matching code

1.  When you use Match Code
1.1 Add new add-on cameras to your system
1.2 Re-pair camera to NVR when they lose connection. You need to delete the
Network Unreachable channel at first, then re-pair the camera to an unoccupied
channel. (unoccupied channel always shows No Video Source under Status.)

Tips: The IP cameras in pre-packed kits have already been paired to the NVR. So the
cameras will automatically connect to the NVR once they are plugged in power.

2.  Add camera by matching code.
2.1  Power on the camera which has no video, and connect this camera to the NVR
via Network cable.

.

2.2  Right click mouse on the main interface, select “Video Manage“

2.3  Click “Refresh“, find the camera’s IP. Click “Match Code“, then click “Yes“, the

.

What is the WiFi distance of the wireless kits?

.

Between each camera to the NVR:

In open space we tested 350m (1150ft) working distance;

With normal obstacles like 1-2 walls, we tested 35m (115ft) working distance.

For distance we only have theoretical values.

No certain distance can be guaranteed due to different environments applied in.

It varies depending on obstacles and signal interference.

on the contrast, if there are many blocks and signal interference between, the distance could be closer.

How to get the NVR system ONLINE?

.

1. Please make sure you enabled DHCP of your Router.

2. If you don’t know how to enable the Router’s DHCP,

    please input the IP Address of your Router to your computer browser,

    then you will find the network information, you can enable the “DHCP”.

3. After that, please plug a network cable to the WAN port on back of NVR.

4. If the system refuses to go ONLINE?

Basic troubleshooting:

  (1).  Check if your network cable can work well.

         If NVR is getting signal, there should be flash light. If not, please check the connection and cable.

  (2).  If the port is right and NVR is still OFFLINE, then it should be DHCP issue.

         Enable DHCP on your NVR.

        Click right button of mouse, go to NVR’s System Setup – Network Setup – check the DHCP and enable it,

        apply and save it. Wait for 1 minute to see if the status on bottom right corner changes to ONLINE.

5. Or you can go back main menu to select “Fast Network“, 

        Then the system will connect the WAN network automatically.

        Within 1 minute, you shall see NVR status changes to ONLINE and the NVR is ready to be viewed

        from anywhere anytime.

6. If this can’t help you, probably your Router disabled DHCP or block new devices from connecting.

    What DHCP does is: when Router find new device connected, DHCP allocate new IP to the device

                              and connect it to the Internet.

   An easiest way to know if your router enables DHCP:

   When you connect a new device to your WiFi for Internet service (or a visitor/ friend wanted WiFi

   connection), does it require WiFi password only? If only password required, then your router has

   DHCP enabled; if that requires not only password but also some settings, then your Router is secured

   from connecting new devices. Please ask people who secured the WiFi (who set password) to enable

   the NVR to connect.

The Step 4 and Step 5 should enable 95% users to get NVR ONLINE.

Even if the status shows OFFLINE after all this, we suggest you to use APP and access the Cloud ID

to see if it works.

Note:   Always wait for 1 minute after any change.

.

Advanced troubleshooting

If the basic steps above does not solve the issue. Follow below steps to do further troubleshooting.

1. Make sure the cable you connect to NVR has Internet access. 

Please use a laptop or any PC has RJ45 port

· Disable the wireless connection of laptop.

· Unplug the network cable from NVR and plug it into the PC, see if the PC can access the Internet via the cable.

· If it does, then the cable is good; if it does not, change a cable.

· If cable is good yet no Internet connection, please ask help from your network administrator

· to give the cable Internet access.

2. Enable DHCP of your router, please refer to Step 2.

.

If you don’t want to use DHCP, or you want to set up a static IP Address for your NVR system,

you can follow the below steps to set up:

   Well, we can allocate IP manually for the NVR and connect it to Internet. 

  1. Know your router gateway. 

  This is the IP that goes to the menu of your router. 

  This will vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, and will be listed in the documentation.

  Here are some common IP addresses for various routers:

   Linksys, 3Com, Asus, Dell, US Robotics: 192.168.1.1

   Qwest (AKA CenturyLink), DLink, Netgear, Trendnet, Senao: 192.168.0.1

   Belkin, Microsoft, and SMC: 192.168.2.1

   Apple: 10.0.1.1

If you have misplaced your documentation, and you do not see your router listed here,

search on Google for your router name and “default IP address” to find the correct information.

Another way to locate your router’s IP address: on a PC, open the command prompt (click on Start >

Run/Search for cmd) and enter ipconfig. Look for the Default Gateway line, and try that number.

On a Macintosh, open the Network control panel (System Preferences…, Network) and look for Router: 

This is your router’s IP address.

The Avigilon AI NVR is a network security appliance that provides all of the functionality of an Avigilon Network Video Recorder with:

System Recommendations

.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to protect your video surveillance system hardware. A UPS system is used to protect critical equipment from mains supply problems, including spikes, voltage dips, fluctuations and complete power failures using a dedicated battery. It can also be used to power equipment during the time it takes for a standby generator to be started and synchronized.

.

Camera Frame Rate

The AI NVR can provide analytics for non-analytics cameras. For optimal analytics performance, the source camera should stream a minimum of 10 frames per second (fps).

.

.

NOTE

It is acceptable to use frame rates lower than 10 fps for LPR analytics.

.

Web Browser

Basic administration settings for the AI NVR are managed through its Server Management page, which can be accessed from the ACC Client application or a web browser on a network workstation connected to the AI NVR

Supported web browsers for Windows®, Mac or mobile devices include:

.

.

NOTE

Your web browser must be configured to accept cookies or the Server Management page will not function correctly.

It is recommended to use the latest version of any supported web browser.

Networking

When locating where to install the AI NVR in a multi-server deployment, consider the following items:

.

Passwords

The first time you start the AI NVR you must create new administrator passwords for both:

Without these passwords the AI NVR can only be brought back into service by resetting it to its default state as it was when first delivered — all recorded data, updates made to the ACC Server software, and all configuration settings are lost and cannot be restored.

.

Certificate Management

By default, the AI NVR is configured with a self-signed certificate, which generates a connection warning in the web browser. Organizations that deploy their own PKI can use the Certificates pane of the Server Management page to manage certificates on the device. For more information, see Manage Certificates on page 36.

NIC Teaming for Network Resiliency

.

To further increase network resilience, it is recommended to use network interface controller (NIC) teaming with the AI NVR network connections. This can be set up using the Server Management page.

.

.

TIP

The AI NVR supports three types of NIC teaming. For more information, see NIC Teaming Modes below.

.

NIC Teaming Modes

The AI NVR supports three types of NIC teaming: Active Backup, Dynamic Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad), and Adaptive Load Balancing.

.

Active Backup

In this mode, one port out of the teamed network ports is designated as the primary port, and the others are set as the backup ports. While the primary network port is functioning properly, the backup ports will not be used. In the event that the primary network port fails, the backup network ports will take over. Both network ports work as unique virtual network interfaces with a single mac address visible to other network devices.

.

Dynamic Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad)

In this mode, all of the teamed network ports will be aggregated into a single connection that has a combined bandwidth equal to the sum of all the teamed port’s individual bandwidth. All teamed network ports will be utilized simultaneously while in this mode and all devices using the teamed ports will operate at the same speed and duplex. If one network port were to fail, then all traffic will be forced through the remaining network ports and your bandwidth will be reduced to the sum of the remaining ports’ bandwidth.

.

.

NOTE

This mode requires a switch that can support IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation, and will require some setup on that switch.

.

Adaptive Load Balancing

In this mode, both network ports will be used as separate 10 Gb/s or 1 Gb/s connections, but the AI NVR will attempt to dynamically load balance the transmitted and received traffic that passes through each network port. Each network port can be connected to different network switches on the same IP subnet to increase redundancy. In the event that one network port fails, all traffic will be redirected to the working network port.

This mode provides many of the benefits of Dynamic Link Aggregation without the need for any switch configuration or support. Additionally, this mode supports network ports of different speeds (10 Gb/s and 1 Gb/s) to be teamed together.

Setting Up the AI NVR

.

Install the Sliding Rack Rails and Cable Management Arm

If the AI NVR will be mounted in a server rack, install the Sliding Rack Rails and the Cable Management Arm (CMA) provided in the appliance package. Follow the procedures outlined in the Rack Installation Instructions and the CMA Installation Instructions provided in the assembly kits.

.

.

NOTE

When rack-mounting the recorder, ensure no interference occurs from the sliding arms of adjacent equipment in the rack. Every sliding rack rail on the server rack must be aligned before you insert the recorder into the rail for a smooth installation. For more information, refer to the dimensions in your server rack design documentation.
