After setting the name, the device will prompt you to confirm whether to use the associated SIP account information from the address book.

Cloud Server Settings

This setting allows you to configure how the device interacts with a server for storing and synchronizing face and access card data. You can choose between three modes: Default Server, Custom Server, or No Server.

Default Server / Custom Server Mode

• In these modes, the device uploads locally registered face and access card data to the server.
• It also synchronizes data from the server to ensure consistency across devices.
• When switching from a server mode to no server, you can choose whether to retain or clear the server data:
  • Retain: Data previously sent from the server remains on the device.
  • Do not retain: The device clears all server-synced data.

No Server Mode

• This is also known as single-device mode. All face and access card data is stored locally on the device only.
• When switching to a server mode (default or custom), you can choose whether to upload the local data:
  • Upload: Local data is uploaded to the server and merged with server data.
  • Do not upload: Local data is cleared, and only the data from the server is synchronized to the device.

Engineering Password Setting

This option allows you to change the engineering (project) password. The password must be exactly 6 digits long and is required to access advanced configuration settings.

Face Recognition Settings

Live Detection Switch

When enabled, the device performs live detection to ensure that only real, live faces can unlock the system. Faces that are not detected as "live" (e.g., photos or videos) will be denied access.

Threshold

Sets the sensitivity level for face recognition:

• High: Requires a high degree of facial similarity; users must be very close to how they appeared during registration.
• Medium: Balanced matching sensitivity.
• Low: More lenient matching, suitable for more flexible use cases.
  Camera Wake-Up Distance Adjustment

Allows users to set the distance at which the camera wakes from screensaver mode to start face recognition.

Adjustable range: 0.3 to 2 meters

When set to the maximum (2 meters), the device will automatically activate face recognition when a face is detected within 2 meters during screensaver mode.

Motion Detection Settings

Switch

When enabled, the device activates motion detection. If a moving object is detected near the door station, the screen will light up and display the main interface.

Sensitivity Adjustment

This setting allows you to adjust how sensitive the motion detection is:

• Low Sensitivity: The object must be closer to the device to trigger detection.
• High Sensitivity: Detection will be triggered by motion at a greater distance.

Sensitivity Test

This feature helps verify whether motion is detected within the current detection range.

• If motion is detected, the result displays "Yes".
• If no motion is detected, it displays "None".

Use this test to fine-tune sensitivity settings and ensure optimal performance.

Lock2 Interface Functions

The Lock2 interface supports multiple configurable functions. You can select one of the following options based on your application needs:

• Alarm Output: Triggers an external alarm device.
• Electronic Lock Control: Controls the operation of a secondary electronic lock.
• Doorbell Control: Activates a connected doorbell device.

12V Output Setting

This setting allows you to enable or disable the 12V power output.

Note: The Lock2 interface functions (such as alarm output, electronic lock control, or doorbell control) will only operate when 12V output is enabled.

Wiegand Setup

This section allows you to configure the Wiegand interface settings for integration with external access control systems. The following options are available:

• Switch: Enable or disable the Wiegand function.
• Bit Selection: Choose the data format—either 26-bit or 34-bit.
• Sequence Selection: Set the data transmission order to either Normal (positive) or Reversed.

Video Bit Rate Setting

This setting allows you to configure the video bit rate used during calls and monitoring. Adjusting the bit rate can help balance video quality and network performance based on your environment and bandwidth availability.

RTSP Setting

Multicast

This option is enabled by default. When enabled, only one indoor unit can monitor the door station at a time.

Note: If you disable this option, multiple indoor units can monitor the door station simultaneously. However, performance may be affected by network conditions such as bandwidth limitations.

Port

Specifies the RTSP streaming port.

• Default value: 8554
• Range: 1–65535
  Important: The port setting must match between the door unit and the indoor unit. If the ports are not consistent, the indoor unit will not be able to receive the video stream from the door unit.

Device Lock Setting

This setting allows you to configure the lock time and set an unlock password to protect the device from unauthorized access.

Note:

If the unlock password is forgotten, the device cannot be unlocked through standard means and must be returned to the factory for reset.

Device Information

This section displays key information about the device, including:

• Device Name
• Software Version
• MCU Version

Use this information for system diagnostics, network configuration, and support purposes.

Restart

Clicking this option will restart the device. Use this function to apply certain settings or troubleshoot minor issues.

Restoring Factory Settings

Clicking this option will restore the device to its factory default settings. After the reset, the device will need to be reconfigured.

Note:

• If the reset is performed within 60 seconds of powering on, all settings will be restored to default values, and face data and access card data will be cleared.
• If the reset is performed after 60 seconds of powering on, settings will be restored to default values, but face data and access card data will be retained.
