Web Interface Configuration

Once connected to the network, the camera can be configured and controlled through the web interface on any web browser that supports HTML5. This next section will explain the various sections of the web interface and what they can do.

Web Interface Login

To log in to the web interface, first, make sure that the camera is connected to the network and that your computer is on the same subnet as the camera.

Factory-Default Camera Network Settings:
Static IP Address: 192.168.0.13
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

NOTE: To obtain the IP address of the camera, open the OSD Menu and scroll down to the Status section. Alternatively, download Bolin's IPC search tool from the website (www.bolintechnology.com) onto a Windows computer and run the tool to discover the camera on the network. 

1. Once the camera’s IP address has been obtained, the user should enter it into the web browser on their computer. 
2. The user will be prompted to enter a username and password. By default, the credentials are:

   Username: admin

   Password: admin

   NOTE: The first time you log in to the web interface, you will be prompted to set a new password. For best security practices, enter a password that is at least 8 digits long, and contains one capital letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one symbol. 
3. Once the user enters the credentials, they should press the login button.

NOTE: Forgot Your Password? If the user forgets/loses the password to their camera, our support team can help them recover it. The user must first download the IPCSearch tool from our website (www.bolintechnology.com) onto a Windows computer that is on the same subnet as the camera. Then, run the tool to search for their camera. Select the camera that they wish to recover and click the “Forgot Password” button at the bottom of the window.

 

The program will provide the user with a generated key. Email “support@bolintechnology.com” with the key. Our support team will generate and provide the user with a temporary password that is valid for only 24 hours. The user should enter this temporary password to create a new password within 24 hours of receiving the key, otherwise, they will need to follow this procedure again. The user should not turn their camera off while waiting to receive the temporary password, otherwise, the temporary password associated with the key will become invalid.

Live View

Once logged in to the camera,  the home page is the Live View page.

On the “Live View” page, the user has access to the following features:

• Viewing a preview of the video output (Please note, this feed will be delayed by 1–2 seconds.)
• Adjusting and controlling PTZ functions
• Setting and recalling camera presets
• Accessing the OSD Menu Settings directly without the need to open the OSD Menu

Below the Live View image, the user will find the following icons:

• Snap Live View Images: This allows the user to capture images from the live view.
• Mute Audio: This will silence the audio.
• Microphone ON/OFF: This controls the microphone’s status, allowing the user to turn it on or off.

Adjusting and Controlling PTZ Functions

On the right side of the "Live View" page (under Controls) and the "Image" page, there is a set of arrows and sliders that can be utilized to control the camera.

• Use the arrows to pan and tilt the camera in its desired motion. The focus and zoom buttons allow you to zoom in (+) or out (-) and focus closer (+) or further (-) in manual mode. There are two modes of controlling the camera: Super Fine and Standard. Super Fine can be used for more precise, granular control, while Standard should be used for quick, general adjustments. The speed setting sliders can be used to modify the speed of pan, tilt, focus, and zoom accordingly. 
• Auto-Scanning: The camera image pans left to right or right to left automatically at a user-defined speed (Speeds 1-8). 
• Scanning: The camera image pans left to right or right to left between up to 12 user-defined points at a user-defined speed (Speeds 1-8). 
• Trace: The camera will record a series of presets that are recalled in a specified order. 
• Cruise: The camera will record a series of movements that an operator makes, which can then be recalled whenever a user likes. 
• Power-On Action: Users can define a set of actions that a camera does (preset recall, scan, trace, or cruise) once powered on. 

Setting and Recalling Presets

Through the camera’s web interface, the user can set and recall up to 64 camera presets. With the use of Bolin’s KBD-1010, users can save up to 255 presets on the controller. These presets can then be recalled through the web interface, IR Remote, or PTZ Controller. To save presets, the user should follow these steps:

• Using the PTZ controls of the web interface, IR controller, or a PTZ controller, the user should adjust the camera to the position(s) they’d like to save as a preset.
• Once in position, the user should press the + button on the preset number to which they’d like to save the setting under the Preset section (below the Live View video stream). Optionally, the user can name the preset for the Web Interface. When the preset has been saved, the camera will take a snapshot of the preset view and display it as a thumbnail.
• To edit a saved preset, the user should move the camera into the desired position, select the preset they’d like to change, and click on the “Edit” button. The user should press Save to finalize changes.
• To recall a preset, the user should select the preset number on the Web Interface and click the “Go To” button.

Adjusting OSD Menu Settings from the Web Interface

Instead of disrupting a video feed by bringing up the camera's OSD Menu, users can choose to view/modify the OSD Menu settings from the Web Interface. Under the "Live View" page, there is a tab for Camera Settings which gives users all the options they would find under the OSD Menu.

• Adjust Exposure, White Balance, Detail, Picture (Noise Reduction, E-Flip, ND Filter, IR Filter), Gamma, Lens (Focus, Stabilization), Pan & Tilt, Genlock, System (Pelco, Visca, IR, Baud Rate, Tally, Audio, Video Format) settings, and view System Status with Drop-Downs Menus, Buttons, and user-entry fields.
