VCA (Area Intrusion Detection) configuration concepts from a SAFIRE video recorder

Threshold: Time, in seconds, that the target must remain within the detection zone to generate an alert.

Sensitivity: Inverse of the percentage of the target area entering the detection zone, relative to the total target area, to generate an alert. The formula that describes this concept is A/A+B>100-S, where A is the target area within the zone, B is the target area outside the zone and S is the sensitivity. A value of 80 will only trigger the alert when at least 20% of the target enters the area.

Percentage: Minimum area (in percentage) of the detection zone that has to be occupied to generate an alert.

Follow a guide in English for installation and configuration of VCA rules

See “camera offline” when  the setup procedure

Here are questions which may help you to shoot the issue when you use an Ethernet cable to connect the IPcam to the router:

1. Make sure the Green LED on the cable connector is flashing . If not, the connect between the camera and the router is still off.

Double check to ensure both two ends securely connected. You can also try other ports which on the router.

2. Make sure your mobile phone connect to same router or same LAN as the camera cable connecting.

3. Make sure DHCP is enabled on your router.

1. Check whether antenna is tightened.

2. To check Wi-Fi signal, in normally, it should be more than 3 bars.

(The distance between the camera and wifi router being too far might cause wifi signal to be less than 3 bars ).

3. WiFi channels: check if WiFi channels are busy, possibly reconfigure to “Automatic”.

4. The camera IP address conflicts with other devices, needing to set camera IP address to be a

fixed one.

5. Change the name of the wireless network (SSID): If there are different wireless networks with the same name (SSID) in your

environment-perhaps because a neighbor uses the same wireless router,a wireless repeater has the same name as the router – WLAN

devices could try to automatically connect to the wrong wireless network ,Therefore, set up a unique wireless network name in your

wireless router or repeater.

6. Set maximum transmission power:In some wireless routers, the transmission power can be reduced,which reduces the performance

of the wireless network. Make sure your wireless router has the maximum transmit power set.

Blue Iris: Software Features, Compatible Cameras, and Pricing

In order to help you get as many details as possible on Blue Iris webcam security cameras, we will break down this topic into 4 parts and every part will contain the points you want to learn about.

1. Meaning

2. Compatible cameras

3. Pricing

1. What is Blue Iris software

Blue Iris, or BI for short, is a popular video security and webcam software that enables people to remotely access and control their security cameras on personal computers, iPhones, or Android smartphones.

Blue Iris has many configurable options, including remote live view, playback, PTZ control, motion detection, audio recording, E-mail alerts, and many other functions.

With Blue Iris compatible cameras, you can keep tabs on your home and business, watch your kids & pets, and monitor your valuables via this professional software.

The advantages of Blue Iris mainly include:

• You can control multiple security cameras & systems simultaneously from various brands on Blue Iris.
• As an open platform, Blue Iris welcomes all companies and organizations.
• Blue Iris captures videos in various formats, including standard MP4, AVI, advanced DVR, and Windows Media.

Keep in mind that not every security camera is completely compatible with Blue Iris, you need to check the compatibility details or ask the security camera manufacturer before making a purchase.

2. Blue Iris compatible cameras

Most security camera types in the market are compatible with Blue Iris, including webcams, analog cords, and network IP cameras.

According to the test done by the Blue Iris team, there are thousands of tested security cameras that are compliant with Blue Iris, so it’s hard to give a full list.

But there are some clues for you to know whether your camera is compatible with Blue Iris. If your camera belongs to any of the following ones, it can work with Blue Iris. If not, you can contact the camera manufacturer to find the answer.

• Any camera that supports JPEG images
• Any camera that supports MJPEG streaming
• Any camera that supports MPEG4 over RTSP streaming
• Any camera that supports ONVIF protocol

Here are several popular Blue Iris compatible camera brands:

• Reolink (except its battery security cameras, add-on cameras, E1, and Lumus)
• Amcrest
• Hikvision
• Dahua

Sometimes not all the functions of a compatible camera can be used on Blue Iris. So you need to check the details of Blue Iris compatibility from the security camera brand.

Reolink team has tested the compatibility of their cameras with Blue Iris. The result is that Reolink security cameras can “communicate” with Blue Iris in almost every way. In other words, you can make full use of Reolink cameras on Blue Iris software.

3. Blue Iris license & tech support fees

You’ll need to pay for the license and tech support when using Blue Iris software, which is licensed per PC for a lifetime.

Before purchasing the Blue Iris license, you can get a free 15-day trial. After that, you’ll need to pay for the usage of Blue Iris.

There are two versions of the Blue Iris license for you to choose from:

• The LE version only supports a single camera at a price of $34.95.
• The Full version supports multiple security cameras (up to 64 cameras), at a price of $69.95.

If you want to manage multiple security cameras at one time or plan to expand more cameras in the future, the full version would be a much more cost-saving option in the long run.

Also, you’ll need to pay for the tech support of Blue Iris. You’ll get 1-year basis support plan for free. When your basic support plan expires, you’ll need to upgrade it to an Extended Plan ($29.95/year) or a Priority Plan ($59.95/year).

Blue Iris requirements and setup questions

According to Blue Iris’ team, the minimum requirements for your computer are:

• A dual-core or equivalent 2 GHz processor or better
• More than 2 GB RAM
• At least Microsoft XP SP3 or newer version, such as Window 7 & 10, or a server OS
• 1 or more cameras with DirectShow drivers

If you use multiple Blue Iris security cameras, such as 12, 16, 30, or even a maximum of 64 cameras, you need a much more robust computer. Recommendations include:

• Intel core i7 with QuickSync for hardware decoding
• More than 8 GB RAM
• Microsoft Windows 8.1 or 10, 64 bit
• NVIDIA graphics adapter for efficient screen display
• 7200+ RPM drives and/or SSD drive

In order to minimize your computer CPU consumption, you may set up the video frame rate to 15-20 fps.

NVR system V.S. Blue Iris + PC, which is better?

If you only need 2 or 3 IP cameras to run 24/7, and/or happen to have an extra computer, you can opt for Blue Iris + PC option.

Your computer storage space can handle several IP cameras recording continuously.

But if you want 4 or more cameras, a dedicated NVR would be the way to go.

Typically, the cameras and NVRs from the same brands can work seamlessly. All the videos will be stored on the hard disk of the NVR for your later playback.

If the storage space of the NVR is running out, it would automatically overwrite the oldest video footage, so you don’t need to delete the videos manually.

You can check more details on NVR vs PC for security camera video storage.

All network devices are configured for either a fixed or automatic IP address. A fixed address is static. It
has been manually configured and in most cases needs to be changed to match the network where the
device is going to be connected. An automatic IP address is dynamic (DHCP). It is one that the device
obtains from the network where it will be connected. Which address is best is determined by the
network where it’s going to be connected and is beyond the scope of this tech note. In most cases when
a 3rd party camera is connected to a uniview tec NVR it should be using a static IP address. To change an
IP address, most camera manufactures will make their own software for locating their cameras on a
network. Using their program is always best since it should have optimal control as well as have the
ability to change the IP address of the camera. For uniview tec cameras we have a similar program which
is Guard Tool and is available for downloaded from the univiewtechnology.com website. It can scan the
network where the computer is connected and find uniview tec devices as well as many 3
rd party devices.

Guard Tool might also be able change the IP address of some 3rd party cameras.

ADDING CAMERAS
Some camera manufacturers are supported by uniview tec Plug-and-Play and will automatically add to
the NVR. If they do not automatically add, then cameras will need to be manually added. Adding your
cameras can be done directly at the recorder or by browsing into the recorder. For this example we are
adding cameras over the web browser.

Browse to the recorder’s IP address and login. Open
the Setup page and navigate to the Camera >
Camera menu. This menu is where you can add your
cameras to the recorder, change the channel
positions from the built in PoE Plug-and-Play to
manual add.

Highlight one of the channels and then click the
Modify button at the top of the menu.

Change the Add Mode from Plug-and-Play to IP Address. Click on Search
and the Search screen will come up. If your camera is listed select it and
click OK.

Not all 3rd party cameras are supported so it
might not have been discovered and will need to
be manually entered.

Ensure that the IP address, user name, password, and
HTTP port are correct.

In most cases when adding a camera select ONVIF as
the protocol.

Once done with adding the camera click Save.
Note: Extended Transmission is for uniview tec camera
only and should not be turned on for 3rd party cameras.
The NVR will try to communicate with the camera. Monitor
the camera status icon.

Once successful communication is established the icon will
turn green.

It might take a couple of minutes for the camera and NVR to communicate.
So click on Refresh at the top corner of the menu to update the screen.
Once the icon goes green you are done and the camera is connected.
If the icon does not go green hover the mouse pointer over the status icon
and it will provide more information, to assist with troubleshooting (see
below).

REASONS WHY A CAMERA MIGHT NOT CONNECT

1. The protocol was not set to ONVIF
2. The camera is not ONVIF compliant (preferably profile S and above). Please refer to Onvif.org.
For cameras that don’t support Onvif camera registration refer to Adding Cameras Using RTSP
Stream
3. The IP address was entered incorrectly
4. The HTTP port was entered incorrectly
5. The camera is not compatible with the recorder. This can sometimes be resolved by updating
the recorder and camera firmware to the latest revision.
6. The network is not properly setup at the local level. This means that the IP address of any device
could be on the incorrect subnet, the IP is conflicting with another device, or the network is not
properly wired / connected.

ADDING CAMERAS USING RTSP STREAM
In some instances you may have to add a 3rd party camera using the RTSP
stream. To add a camera using an RTSP stream, from the camera menu
select the channel you would like to add and click Modify.

Once on the Modify page you will want to change the add mode to IP
Address and the Protocol to Custom. You will also need to enter the IP
Address and the login credentials for the camera. As well, you will need
to define the protocol settings. To do this you will need to click the
Protocol button.

On the Protocol page you will need to fill in the information
for the RTSP stream of the camera you are adding. One
method of obtaining this is with the program Onvif Device
Manager. In some cases the best source will be from the

camera manufacturer.
After entering the information click the Save button on the
protocol page.

Note: If you are adding multiple cameras of the same model, you can make your resource path generic by inserting and where indicated on the RTSP stream. This will allow you to use the same Custom definition for those cameras and not define them individually. Once you return to the camera Modify page click the Save button.

This should add the camera as a RTSP stream. Monitor the camera status icon. If the camera does not connect you may want to test the RTSP stream. We suggest testing with the program VLC Media Player to confirm that the RTSP is valid.

Note: RTSP does not support advanced functions like motion detection and PTZ control
