ME6 IR Dome Configuration Guide

Chapter 1
Welcome to the Configuration Guide
The ME6 IR Dome camera from March Networks® is a ruggedized vandal-resistant dome
camera that combines high-definition megapixel video with powerful High Dynamic
Range (WDR) and IR illumination for excellent image quality in all lighting conditions.
The camera features a set of powerful video analytics: tripwire, intrusion detection,
loitering detection, and detection of suspicious objects and vehicles. Video analytics, also
referred to as automated video content analysis, enable organizations to enhance
security in both public and private spaces by detecting perimeter or area breaches,
unattended objects, and atypical activity more rapidly and consistently. The software
detects camera tampering in real time and also promotes more proactive system
maintenance by alerting staff to camera obstructions or changes in camera positioning
that may otherwise go unnoticed.
This guide outlines the basic configuration and maintenance activities that administrators
can perform to locate IP devices on the network, configure the camera sensor, configure
evidence storage and recording, and customize recording schedules.
Important Note:
This guide does not cover the March Networks ME6 Video Analytics
