The System tab includes configurable and read-only fields. The General Settings and Time Settings fields are configurable. The System Information fields are read-only and include the firmware version, hardware version, model number, and serial number of the system. This information is typically required by Pelco Product Support for troubleshooting purposes. You can also use the System Tab to generate a system log, reboot the camera, or to restore the camera's factory default settings.

General Settings

Device Name: The user-friendly description of the camera. This name is displayed in the gray area near the top of all pages.

Enable LEDs: Select Off to disable the power LED located on the front of the camera. The default setting is On. If the LED is set to Off, it will continue to glow solid amber and then flash green during the configuration sequence.

SMTP Server: Configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send an email notification when an event handler is activated. Consult your network administrator for information on configuring email notification on your local network.

Time Settings

Time Server: The external server that uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the camera date and time settings. If the camera is connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network that has time server properties configured, the camera will automatically synchronize with the time server. If the DHCP network’s time server properties are not configured or the network does not have a time server, the camera’s default setting is January 1, 1970.

Time Zone: The geographic area that is closest to the camera’s physical location.

Overlay: Select On to overlay the date and time on all video streams. Select Off to turn off the date and time overlay.
