Introducing Smartvue S12
MAKING YOUR WORLD A SAFER PLACE
Smartvue makes the world a safer place with amazing surveillance technologies that are elegantly simple. Smartvue Corporation has been inventing the future of network video surveillance since
1996. The S12 system combines Smartvue’s advanced feature set with the power of the cloud.
Smartvue S12 User Manual Page | 11
Getting Started
•
•
•
Welcome to the Smartvue S12 hardware platform. Smartvue provides three distinct cloud bridge models with hard drive variations for each model.
S12K
S12T
S12R
– Support for up to 16 cameras and total storage of 1TB an 1TB
– Support for up to 32 cameras and storage options from 4TB to 24TB
– Support for up to 100 cameras and storage options from 72TB
Each cloud bridge model has dual Ethernet ports to provide ease of installation and added security.
Port 1 is designed to connect to the existing LAN that has access to the Internet and accepts a DHCP
IP Address from the router. Alternatively, Port 1 can be assigned a static IP address in IP range and sub-net mask of the router. Port 2 is designed to connect to a dedicated Ethernet switch that connects to all of the cameras. Port 2 acts as a DHCP server and will assign dynamic IP addresses to each camera connected to the switch. If the cameras support Power over Ethernet (POE), it is recommended to use a POE switch to reduce power cabling requirements.
Connect an Ethernet cable to Port #1 on the back of the Cloud Bridge and plug it into the local network. Plug in power using the included power supply to the 12V AC connector. Press the power switch on the front of the Cloud Bridge to turn it On. It should receive a dynamic IP address from the
LAN router. If the router does not assign an IP address, a static IP address will need to be assigned to the cloud bridge.
If a dedicated Ethernet switch is used, connect an Ethernet cable to Port #2 on the back of the Cloud
Bridge and to the cameras Ethernet switch. For set-up purposes only, it is recommended to use a laptop computer connected to the cameras Ethernet switch. If it is not feasible to use a laptop on the camera Ethernet switch, then a computer will need to be connected to the local network where Port
#1 is connected.
Set-up using Port #2
Using a laptop connected to the camera switch also connected to Port #2 of the cloud bridge is recommend. This is the easiest set-up configuration.
From the computer, type 192.168.20.1 into your web browser as shown below (Internet Explorer, or
Chrome on a Microsoft Windows PC or Safari, or Chrome on an Apple Mac) and the LOGIN screen will appear.
Figure 1 - IP Address in Browser URL Bar
Continue to the login / registration process on page 11.
Set-up using Port #1
If there is no connection to Port #2 of the cloud bridge (no dedicated camera Ethernet switch), the bridge can be accessed through Port #1. Use a UPnP application (i.e. Bonjour), IP identification program (i.e. Angry IP or Advanced IP Scanner) or log into the router to find the IP address of Port
#1 assigned by the router. Enter that IP address in the URL bar of the browser and the LOGIN screen will appear.
Smartvue S12 User Manual Page | 12
Login / Registration Screen
If the cloud bridge has already been registered through the REGISTRATION WIZARD, type in your
Email and Password and go to the Set-up Process. If the bridge has not been registered, click on the word “Registration” at the bottom right side of the screen as shown on the picture below.
Figure 2 - Login Screen
Bridge Registration
After clicking on “Registration”, the Registration Wizard will begin. Follow the process presented:
1) Select the language to be used
2) Read and agree to the End User License Agreement
3) Read and agree to the Privacy Policy
4) Add the Partner Code to the Bridge. If you have not been assigned a Partner Code, then skip this step
5) Input the account information of the Primary / Administrative User of the Bridge including the email address, name, cell phone number, and password.
6) The last step is to confirm all of the information previously input. After clicking Confirm, the system will present the Login screen again. At this point, enter the email address and password that was input during the registration process.
Smartvue S12 User Manual Page | 13
Login
Once the server has been registered you will be taken back to the Login Page. Enter the email address and password used during the registration process. Once logged in, the live view will be presented unless no cameras have been added to the bridge. If no cameras are associated with the bridge, a notice will appear that no cameras are associated and ask if you would like to scan for cameras on the ne twork. Proceed to the “Adding Cameras to the Bridge” section for more information.
Forgot Password
To recall a lost password, click on the FORGOT PASSWORD link at the bottom right corner of the login page and enter your USERNAME (Email address). The password will be emailed to the email address in the user’s profile.
Toolbar
The main controls for the Smartvue Bridge are available as toolbar icons on the right side of every page. Each icon offers specific functions. Click on the Menu icon to expand the menu bar and view the descriptions of each Toolbar icon. Clicking on the Menu icon again will close the menu and just display the Toolbar icons without descriptions. Figure 3 shows the options available when using the local interface (logged in on the local network) and Figure 4 shows the options when logged in through the Internet to Cloudvue.
Figure 3 - Local Interface Toolbar
Figure 4 - Cloudvue Interface Toolbar
Local Interface Toolbar Options
Live - Opens the live video multi-view page. Here you can see all of the cameras that are added to your server. Each camera view is 320x240 at 4 frames per second. This view provides situational awareness and access to large live views in full resolution.
Smartvue S12 User Manual Page | 14
Archive - Opens the recorded video archive page. This page provides the ability to search and playback recorded video from any camera and download sections of recorded video for offline investigation.
Settings - Opens the SETTINGS page for access to the different Smartvue Bridge settings for cameras, bridge preferences, recording schedules and users.
Cloudvue - Opens a new window in your browser and navigates to https://s12.cloudvue.com
. This is the cloud interface very similar to the local interface. The cloud interface has more functionality provided by the cloud. This will be examined later in the document.
Logout - Exits the application.
Additional Options Available through Cloudvue
Mapvue
– Displays a Google Map with an icon showing the location of each Bridge. To ensure
Mapvue is accurate, set the correct address in the Settings
– Preferences section. A green icon indicates the Bridge and all cameras are operating normally. A yellow icon indicates the Bridge is operating but one or more cameras is not functioning properly. A red icon indicates that Cloudvue has lost contact with the Bridge. This can be the result of the Bridge being offline or the Internet connection was lost.
Sitevue
– Sitevue provides the user the ability to upload a floorplan in JPG format to the cloud and then drop camera icons on the floor plan. The cameras must be added to the Bridge before they can be added to Sitevue. This provides the user the ability to see camera views as they are installed on the premises.
User Interface
The Smartvue Cloud Bridge provides the ability to log in from both the local network and remotely through Cloudvue. All major functions of the Smartvue system are available through both interfaces.
There are certain settings that can only be changed in either locally or through the cloud. Those are detailed in their respective sections.
Local Interface
The local user interface is provided by the web server in the Smartvue Cloud Bridge from either Port
#1 or Port #2. From a computer connected to the network, open the Chrome browser and type the
IP address in the URL bar. If the computer is attempting to connect through Port #1, the user will need to gain the Bridge IP address through either the use of an IP scanner program or from the router that handed the DHCP address to the Bridge. Examples of IP scanner programs include
AngryIP and Advanced IP Scanner. To use the local interface, the following logical ports must be open through the switches and router. The following ports must be open:

When using the local interface, only the functions associated with that one Cloud Bridge will be available. All Cloud based functions do not appear. Cloud based functions include:
Custom Views
Multiple site access through a single login
Mapvue
SiteVue
Cloud Interface
When logging into the Smartvue system from an Internet connected device, open a supported browser and go to S12.Cloudvue.com. From the Cloud interface the user has access to more features and functions than the local interface as noted above.
Camera Management
Adding Cameras to the Bridge
It is good practice to mount all of the cameras first prior to setting up the Smartvue bridge, but not necessary. New cameras can be added to the bridge at any time. Once cameras are mounted and connected to the camera Ethernet switch, they can be found by the Bridge. Refer to “Getting Started” for more information about connecting cameras to the network.
If no cameras are associated with the bridge, the “Add Cameras” screen will appear upon login. If there are cameras associated with the bridge and you need to add more, then go to Settings and then select Cameras from the top menu bar.
Figure 5 - Camera Settings Menu from the Local Interface
There are two options for adding cameras to the Smartvue Bridge.
1) Scan for Cameras
– Automatically scans the network for recognizable cameras and presents them in a list to be added with default credentials and settings
2) Add Cameras by IP Address
– Manual method for adding cameras providing the ability to name the camera, modify the camera username and password if necessary and select the manufacturer and model number of the camera. This process is used only if the Scan for
Cameras tool does not properly add the cameras.
Smartvue S12 User Manual Page | 16
Scan for Cameras
Click on the SCAN FOR CAMERAS button to add new cameras to your Smartvue Bridge. The Bridge will automatically search for cameras on both Port #1 and Port #2. It will list all supported cameras with the manufacturer, model number and IP address as shown below. You will only be able to add cameras this way if they are configured with their default credentials.
Select which cameras to add to the Smartvue Bridge by clicking the ADD button. A confirmation screen will appear. Click OK and the Bridge will begin the process of adding the camera. The bridge will automatically log into the camera, change the settings to defaults and once complete will show the small live view for that camera in the Settings

Bridge is not connected to the Internet.
If the camera fails to add, the pop-up shown in Figure 11 will appear.
Figure 11 - Camera Save Failed Screen
This error message will appear if any of the input data is incorrect (except the camera name). If the
IP address, camera manufacturer and model number are correct, then the username and password
Smartvue S12 User Manual Page | 19
for the camera is incorrect. This is the most common situation. Refer to the camera manufacturers information regarding the username and password. If the camera is a new, out of the box Hikvision, then there is no username and password and one must be configured. Follow the process to configure the username and password and use that information in the input screen in Figure 9.
Modifying Camera Settings
Once the cameras have been added to the Smartvue Bridge, the settings for each camera can be individually customized to optimize the view. Settings that can be changed are based upon the manufacturer and model number. Smartvue integrates with each model and displays the most common setting options such as frame rate, resolution, video bit rate, brightness, hue, etc.
Accessing Camera Settings
To access the individual camera setting options, go to Settings

Smartvue S12 User Manual
Figure 14 - Example of Resolution Options
Below is information on the most common settings for cameras:
Bitrate: Video bit rate can be set to either Constant of Variable. The recommended setting is
Variable. A variable bit rate allows the camera to alter the bit rate based on the volume of change in the field of view. For scenes that do not change much, the camera can send the desired resolution at a lower bit rate saving storage space. Setting the camera to Constant bit rate, does not give the camera this option and may use more storage space than necessary.
Flip: Cameras can be mounted in many ways. The Flip option can turn the image upside down
(vertically) or right to left (horizontally). This option is needed to make the image usable for various installation methods and is generally found in dome cameras as they may be mounted lens up or lens down.
Frame Rate: Video is simply a series of still images taken at very quick intervals. The framerate determines how many of these images will be taken per second. For video surveillance installations, framerates of 10 to 15 frames per second are generally acceptable. Higher frame rates will cause higher video bit rates and thus consume more storage space than may be necessary.
Maximum Bitrate: The maximum bitrate sets the highest video bit rate that the camera can use when the bitrate is set to variable. The camera will try to be efficient and use a lower bit rate if possible, but will never go over the maximum. If Constant Bit Rate is used, the maximum but rate will be the bit rate always used. It is recommended to set the cameras to use a Variable bit rate and the maximum but rate to 1Mbps to 2Mbps initially. After recording video for several days, review the archives. If the video is not clear enough, then increase the maximum but rate. A higher bit rate will create a more defined image, but too high a bit rate will consume too much storage space without providing much additional benefit.
Resolution: Each camera has a set of resolution options. The larger the number, the more pixels in the image and the clearer the image will be. For reference, High Definition television is either 720p
(1280 x 720) or 1080p (1920 x 1080). Some cameras refer to their resolutions in mega-pixels. A
720p resolution is a 1.3MP image and a 1080p resolution is a 2MP image. These are the most popular. Some cameras have higher resolutions, but the higher the resolution, the more storage space will be consumed.
Key Frame Interval: The Key Frame Interval refers to the method the H.264 protocol encodes the video. The default is 15 and it is highly recommended that this interval not be changed. The option to modify the interval is for professional installers only.
WDR: Wide Dynamic Range is a feature that enables a video camera to take multiple images at the same time with varying image settings and add them together. This enables the camera to provide quality images for back-lit subjects while not washing out the whole image. This setting is used for outdoor cameras and indoor cameras pointed at a door or window. The sun can cause backlighting during parts of the day and WDR will compensate for that.
Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness are video image settings to provide options to users with cameras in various settings (outdoor, indoor, overly bright or dark, etc.). If the image is not satisfactory, slowly modify these settings until the desired result is achieved. Take caution because
Page | 22
settings that make an image appear good at noon may not be acceptable after dark. Take some time to alter the settings and review the results. These settings can be changed at any time.
Adding / Editing Motion Windows
Many users desire to record video only when there is motion in a certain part of the cameras field of view or simply want to know when motion occurred when reviewing recorded video. To signal motion recording or mark motion on the archive timeline, a motion window must be created in the cameras field of view. To create the motion window, access the camera settings and click on the MOTION tab. Click the MOTION WINDOWS button to view the Motion Detection Configuration screen as shown below in Figure 15.
Figure 15 - Motion Detection Window Configuration Screen
Click the ADD button at the top of the screen to add a motion window to the camera field of view.
The system will create a default motion detection square on the field of view which will appear as a semi-transparent red square. Click and hold in the middle of the square to drag it into position. Click and hold the edges or corners and drag to make the motion square larger or smaller. Once the motion detection window (square) is in the proper position, click APPLY to set the motion window. The sensitivity for detecting motion can be increased or decreased using the slider bar. Refer to Figure

Window
Figure 16 - Motion Detection Window
Test the sensitivity by moving in front of the camera. If the system detected the motion, the last motion event will be displayed under the sensitivity slider. If the Bridge did not detect the movement as motion, increase the sensitivity and click APPLY. If motion detection is only desired for large objects such as vehicles, then try lowering the sensitivity. Always click APPLY after making sensitivity changes. Test several moving objects and to determine the optimal sensitivity setting for each situation and click APPLY and then SAVE. This will close the Motion Detection Configuration screen and return to the camera settings screen. Click SAVE at the top right of the Settings screen to ensure all settings changes are written to the Bridge.
Modifying Camera PTZ Settings
Many cameras have the capability to pan, tilt and/or zoom (PTZ). Cameras with that capability will have four arrow icons on the upper right corner of the cameras field of view and have a PTZ settings button in the camera settings section of the interface. To modify the pan, tilt and zoom speeds, access the camera settings and click on the PTZ button. The speed selections will appear for each setting and it provides the opportunity to set the home position as shown in Figure 17 below.
Smartvue S12 User Manual Page | 24
Figure 17 - Pan, Tilt and Zoom Settings
The Pan, Tilt and Zoom Speed settings are drop down menus with the settings specific to each camera. To increase the speed or distance the camera moves with each mouse click, increase the number in the selection. To decrease the speed or movement distance, decrease the number. After making changes, click the SAVE button at the top right of the screen. This will write the changes to the camera. Then use the four arrows to move the camera (Pan and Tilt) and the + and
– icons to zoom in and out. Each camera model is different and may require testing to get the settings to the desire point.
Use the above procedure to set the camera to the position desired to be the home position. This is the standard viewing position desired. When the camera is in that position, click the SET HOME
POSITION button and then click the SAVE button at the top right corner of the screen.
The same pan, tilt and zoom icons can be used while viewing live video from the large live view.
Refer to the Viewing Live Video section of this manual for more information. If the camera has been moved from its home position, click the bullseye icon in the center of the pan-tilt arrows. This will return the camera to its home position.
