Installation In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the IP Camera, and "Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the IP Camera and grant user access to the camera. Hardware installation Please verify that your product package contains all the accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents.
To install in Ethernet Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the Ethernet cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to blink orange-color, go to next paragraph “Software installation”. This IP Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one digital output device control.
Initial Access to the IP Camera Check Network Settings The IP Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and DNS.
How to Use A PC with Windows operating system can use the Internet Explorer to connect to the IP Camera. A plug-in will be installed into the IE when it is connected for the first time. A PC with Linux operating system can connect to the camera using a browser like Firefox. It needs to install QuickTime first to view streaming.
Installing plug-in For the initial access to the IP Camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt for permission to install a new plug-in for the IP Camera on the Internet Explorer. Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user’s PC or notebook.
Primary user’s capability Main Screen with Camera View The main page layout has two parts: Configuration functions: The camera can be configured using these user interfaces. Camera View: What the camera sees. Click on the configuration link to the left of the image window to enter the configuration page.

may be obscured. The UDP multicast protocol allows to save the bandwidth of server while serving multiple clients at the same time. The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the UDP protocol.
There is only one setting “Stream Options” for the client side in Firefox. User can choose to view stream1 and stream2. <url> <IP Camera> is the domain name or the http://<IP Camera>/clientset.html original IP address of the IP Camera.

For Best Real-time Video Images To achieve 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. If the broadband network is over 1 Mbps, set the “Constant bit rate” to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps, or set “Fixed quality”...

of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second. If your network bandwidth is below 512 Kbps, set the “Constant bit rate” according to your bandwidth and try to get the best performance by fine-tuning with the “Maximum frame rate”. In a slow network, greater frame rate results in blur images.
Opening accounts for new users Protect IP Camera by passwords The IP Camera is shipped without any password by default. That means everyone can access the IP Camera including the configuration as long as the IP address is known. It is necessary to assign a password if the IP Camera is intended not to be accessed by others.
Build a security application The Administrator can use the built-in motion detection to monitor any movement to perform many useful security applications. To upload the snapshots, users can choose either email, FTP, HTTP or Network storage according to user’s needs. All servers setting are in Server section on Application page.
