    Hardware Installation Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs will blink between green and red a few times. If the self-test passes, the LEDs will shut off and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation.
  • Page 8 The Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one relay switch for device control. Pin 1 and Pin 2 can be connected to an external sensor device and the state of voltage can be monitored from the initial state 'LOW'.

  • Page 9: Software Installation

    Software Installation In this manual, "User" refers to anyone who has access to the network camera, and "Administrator" refers to anyone who has access rights to configure the network camera and grant user access to it. At the end of the hardware installation, the Administrator must insert the CD included with the package into the CD-ROM drive of the PC.
  • Page 10 Click on IP Setup to execute the installation program. The IP Setup program will search for similar cameras on your local area network. A “similar” camera will have the same “HVVT” code at the beginning of its serial number. (The serial number is different from the series number/MAC address.) After completing the search, the main IP Setup window will appear.
  • Page 11 The UPnP function will always assign an IP address for the Network Camera. If, however, the IP Address returned by the IP Setup program is not consistent with your LAN settings or you want to change the IP address manually, you can go to the bottom half of the window, and assign an IP address in the IP address bar.

  • Page 12: Check Network Settings

    Check Network Settings (even if the device is already connected) Although the network camera may already be connected following the software installation procedure, administrators should ensure that the network settings in the configuration page are correct, including the subnet mask, IP address of the gateway, and DNS.

  • Page 20: Administrator's Capabilities

    Administrator’s Capabilities Configure for Optimal Performance “Optimal performance” means obtaining the fastest image refresh rate and highest video quality, while utilizing the lowest possible network bandwidth. Three factors in the “Audio/Video” configuration page will control the performance: a. Maximum frame rate, b. Fixed bit rate, and c. Fixed quality. For Best Real-time Video Images To achieve a good real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough to allow a transmission rate of greater than 20 image frames per second.

    frame rate to 25 fps or 30 fps. If you are shooting fast-moving images, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the human eye cannot easily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second.
