General¶

User¶

You can change your password here.

Licence¶

Online and offline licence activation and licence info.

API Tokens¶

Token-based authentication is possible to provide access to certain API-s, for third-party integration purposes. Generating a token is required for using Video Output solutions. Such tokens can be generated or revoked here.

To create a new token, give it a name that is easily identify by, then press Generate. You may remove your tokens by selecting them from the list below, then pressing Revoke.

Tip

Make sure to save or copy your token immediately after generating it, as they cannot be retrieved after you navigate away from this page.

API tokens can be used for the following services:

Schedule¶

Create and assign Schedules to your Solutions to make them active only in a given time period.

System¶

Synergy Connection¶

The authentication details for the Synergy server. Fill in the to send DETECT events to.

Host: The address of the Synergy instance.
Server port: 9876, filled in by default.
User name: The username used to authenticate Synergy with.
Password: The password for the Synergy user.
Secure connection: On by default, only change if necessary.
Trust all certificates: On by default, only change if necessary.

Network¶

If there is a DHCP server in your network, the IP of the IRIS+ Essential device will be set automatically. However, it is possible to set the network properties manually.

Click a network interface in the list, then untick Use DHCP to enable manual configuration. Otherwise, ticking Bridge ethernet interfaces will use the same chosen configuration across all ethernet interfaces.

A custom host name for the device can also be configured here (ualarm by default).

You can also configure network settings locally on the device, via tty: Connect a monitor and keyboard to the device, then press Ctrl+Alt+F2. Type 2 in the prompt, then follow the instructions on screen.

Remote Support¶

This feature allows Technical Support to access IRIS+ Essential remotely, via SSH. It should only be used in the very rare case of an issue unsolvable by other means. Off by default, SSH access is only recommended to be turned on when explicitly asked by Technical Support.

SSL¶

IRIS+ Essential supports SSL/TLS to protect data between your browser and the box itself. See the SSL Settings section for instructions.

Trusted certificates¶

Additional trusted CA certificates can be uploaded here. See the Trusted Certificates section for instructions.

Time¶

Schedules and timestamps on the video player are managed and displayed in this Time zone. This is a global setting for the entire system therefore it is recommended to set it to the physical location of the cameras.

For precise time synchronisation IRIS+ Essential uses a remote default NTP server. If your IRIS+ Essential device has no internet access it is recommended to set a custom NTP server available on the local network.

Integration¶

Products of the Ultinous AI Suite allow for integration with various third-party tools and services. Some of them require additional information or credentials to be set here.

Genetec Security Center¶

Integration with Genetec Security Center requires certain configuration steps, to be made here. See the Genetec Integration guide for detailed instructions.

Nx Witness / DW Spectrum / Wisenet Wave¶

For integration with the above suites, Ultinous AI Suite requires configuration for accessing the server they are running on. Read our guide for detailed instructions.

Google BigQuery credentials¶

The output generated by solution can be exported and viewed real-time in Google BiqQuery databases. Valid credentials to the platform can be uploaded here, in json format. Once uploaded, you may continue configuring the Solution. Click Reset to delete your uploaded file. For step-by-step instructions, read the relevant section of the guide here.

Maintenance¶

Reload & Restart¶

In case you would like to refresh your Solutions and cameras - for troubleshooting purposes, for instance - it is possible to do that by pressing the Reload button.

To restart your device, press the Restart button. Take note that the device may need a few minutes to completely boot up again.

Backup & Restore¶

Once IRIS+ Essential is fully configured, it is possible to export this configuration. If a IRIS+ Essential device is replaced or its software is updated or reinstalled, the previously exported configuration file can be loaded, avoiding the need of a manual reconfiguration.

For troubleshooting purposes, a System snapshot containing full diagnostic information about your system can also be downloaded from here. System logs can also be downloaded in case of further diagnostic needs.

Cleanup & Reset¶

You may clear space on the device by Deleting the AI Model cache or by Clearing the event/count data generated by your registered Solutions.

Soft reset and Factory Reset is also available here. Please note that a full reboot process can take up to several minutes.

System Health¶

The data here provides you with information about the current working condition of your system as well as your registered cameras.

System Update¶

IRIS+ Essential firmware can be upgraded to a higher version. See the System Update section for instructions.

About¶

IRIS+ Essential version information.

Expert Settings¶

Settings for advanced features that are hidden by default. To access them, click the Expert Settings button, then click I Accept on the pop-up.

Sensitivity¶

Each Solution's associated camera can be customised to have a Sensitivity value from Very Low to Very High. The exact values of these Sensitivity parameters can be fine-tuned here.

The settings are in .json format, containing each object type's respective Sensitivity values (grouped by Solution type, since each Solution could have different Sensitivity thresholds for their objects), ranging from - from top to bottom - Very Low to Very High. Accepted values range from 0.1 to 1.

  "CROWD_DETECTION": {
    "PERSON": [
      0.82,
      0.685,
      0.56,
      0.51,
      0.48
    ]
  }

Note that since these values represent the minimum threshold above which detections are accepted, the higher the value, the fewer detections are observed and the fewer Events are generated, and vice versa.

The settings are being validated as you type. To cancel editing, click Undo changes, or Reset defaults. Otherwise, press Save to commit your changes.
