Section ² - Conﬁguration

1 Check “Enable motion detection.”

2 Click on “New” to have a new window to monitor

video.

3 Enter in a window name.

4

Adjust the “Sensitivity” and “Percentage” levels according to the local environment. The highest sensitivity and

lowest percentage provides the most sensitive setting.

5

After adding the motion window, click on save to enable the activity display. You can add up to 3 motion windows

to trigger recording.

To schedule video recording with motion detection, you must ﬁrst enable motion detection on the Network camera. Click

the Motion Detection button under the Advanced tab from the Conﬁguration screen to access settings that affect how

the DCS-2120 Network camera can serve as a security

device by recording only when motion is detected.

Note:

These settings can be conﬁgured in your Web

browser and while logged into the IP surveillance

Program.

In this window, follow the steps below to ensure that

motion detection is correctly enabled:

Section ² - Conﬁguration

For detailed information about each setting, please refer to

Conﬁguration > Advanced > Motion Detection

in the

section titled “Using the DCS-2120 With an Internet Browser” (page 29).

Next, run the IP surveillance program. Click on the Conﬁgurations button and select Scheduler.

In the Primary Schedule you can choose either Once (for one time recording) or Every Day (for scheduled recording).

For example, if you would like to record events every day during a certain time frame, click on the beginning time

and drag your mouse to the ending time. Schedule recording can be conﬁgured by minutes, hours, days, weeks, or

months.

The Secondary Schedule allows you to set a schedule

outside the Primary Schedule. The Secondary Schedule

provides two options to record without a speciﬁed date or

time. You can select Event Mode, which will record whenever

an event is triggered, or Continuous Mode, which will begin

continuously after scheduling settings are saved. You do

not need to set the Secondary Schedule with the Primary

Schedule. To schedule video recording with motion detection,

you can use either the Primary Schedule or Secondary

Schedule, or both.

Click the Save button when ﬁnished. You have now set a schedule to record video when motion detection is triggered.

If you would like to save this conﬁguration, click Save As to save this conﬁguration to a folder in your hard drive. This

conﬁguration can be used on another system running IP surveillance or can be used as a backup if you need to

re-install the IP surveillance software program.

1

Check if you want the recording schedule to occur Once or Every day.

2

Set the date, time-line, and begin and end times for recording.

3 Check Event Mode.

4

Select the motion detection window that will be used to trigger motion detection.

Note:

You must ﬁrst create motion detection windows in the Web conﬁguration page of the camera.

Remember the names of the windows and the order in which you created them, as they are not displayed

inside the scheduler. Instead, they are listed in the order they were added. For example, the ﬁrst window

created is labeled “Window1.”

5

Click on “Disable” under the Secondary Schedule.

In this window, follow the steps below to schedule video recording with motion detection in the Primary Schedule:

Section ³ - Security

Wireless Security

This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DCS-

2120 offers the following types of security:

• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

What is WEP?

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption

algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted

from one wireless device to another.

To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When

using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit

encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are deﬁned by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal

- using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters)

format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to

HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be deﬁned so that you can change keys easily.

Section ³ - Security

What is WPA?

WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy).

The 2 major improvements over WEP:

• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys

using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been

tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP.

• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol

(EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-speciﬁc MAC

address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key

encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric

password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must

be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
