After physical installation and connection, access the camera's web interface via a web browser using its assigned IP address. Refer to the separate network configuration guide for detailed steps on setting up network parameters, user accounts, and initial camera settings.
5. Operation
5.1 Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) Control
The camera features Pan, Tilt, and Zoom capabilities, controlled via the network interface or a compatible DVR/NVR system. The 40X optical zoom allows for detailed observation of distant objects, while the -20° tilt look-up capability expands the vertical viewing range.
5.2 Image Settings
Adjust image settings such as brightness, contrast, and exposure through the camera's web interface. The camera automatically switches between Day and Night modes using its Infrared Cut-filter Removable (ICR) mechanism. Extreme WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) helps to capture clear images in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas.
5.3 Intelligent Video Analytics
The XNP-6400RW includes AI-based object auto-tracking for persons and vehicles. To utilize this feature:
- Enable Tracking: Access the analytics settings in the camera's web interface.

- Activate Target Lock: Use the target lock tracking feature to continuously follow a selected object.
The camera also supports motion-only alerts. Configure alert notifications and actions (e.g., recording, email alerts) within the system settings.
5.4 Video Recording
The camera supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video compression formats, optimized with WiseStream II for efficient storage. Configure recording schedules and storage destinations (e.g., NVR, NAS, local SD card if supported) through the camera's interface or connected recording device.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Lens Cleaning
The XNP-6400RW features a built-in wiper to remove water and dust from the lens. This system automatically activates a heater to dry any remaining moisture, ensuring clear visibility.
