Page 4: Introduction
1.1. What is the MPEG-4 Network Camera? The MPEG-4 Network Camera (hereinafter call to UNC7700) is an Internet-based digital video surveillance device with a built-in Web server. It uses TCP/IP to distribute compressed live video over a Local Area Network (LAN) and/or the Internet through an Ethernet connection. -

Page 6: Installation
3.1. Installation Preview There are 3 mains steps required to perform a successful installation: Hardware installation Software installation Network configuration Hardware installation consists of connecting cables to the UNC7700 including network, video, and power cables. Software installation consists of the installation of software that is necessary to properly view the video from the UNC7700 or to configure the UNC7700 itself. -
Page 7: Hardware Installation
3.2. Hardware Installation – Hardware Connection Ensure the UNC7700 is powered off. Connect the UNC7700 to your network using twisted pair (CAT 5) cable terminated with a standard RJ-45 connector. If it is connected to a hub/switch, use a pass-through cable. If it is connected directly to a PC, use a crossover cable. - Page 8 – Description of the Connections 1. Power In Jack Non PoE model: Connects to the AC adapter. PoE model: The AC adapter is not necessary. The camera will get the power from the Ethernet cable. Please follow the below figure for the connection 2.

3.3. Software Installation With the exception of the Adobe Flash Player all the software that is necessary for the proper display and use of the UNC7700 is available on the included CD or from the Web site. For the following installation procedures it is assumed that all installation media will be taken from the CD. -
Page 10: Network Configuration
3.4. Network Configuration IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network settings of the UNC7700. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. - Page 11 The IP Installer window is displayed below. Click Tool > Search Network Device, the available devices will be listed as below. Using IP Installer 1. From the list, select the device with the MAC Address that corresponds to the device that is to be configured. The MAC Address is identical to the unit’s S/N (Serial Number).

Page 15: Getting To Know The Unc7700 Web Ui
The UNC7700 Web UI is basically divided into display and configuration. The home page is the video display page which can be seen below. – Main Menu Menu Language Selection Click a language name to change the language display for the complete Web UI. There are three kinds of languages can be selected, they are English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. - Page 16 Video Status Display the status for the selected channel on the tab: Video IP, RTSP Port, Resolution, PTZ, Video Type (Mpeg4 or Mjpeg) and Audio. Audio Audio ON Voice is currently ON; select which channel should be the one for broadcasting the audio.

Page 21: Nc Configuration
The UNC7700 Configuration is currently divided into 4 sections, “Live” and “Reboot”: – A/V Settings Set A/V settings and they include “General”, “PTZ Setting”, “External Source” and “On Screen Display”. – Network Settings Set the network settings and they include “General”, “Wireless” and”DDNS”. Note: “Wireless”... -
Page 22: A/V Settings
5.1. A/V Settings – General Basic: Audio Enables and Disables the Audio stream. Resolution There are 3 different resolutions to choose from: D1: 720x480 NTSC/720x576 PAL SIF: 352x240 NTSC/352x288 PAL QSIF: 176x112 NTSC/176x144 PAL Frame Rate The frame rate can be set between 1-30fps. Encoder Format Format can be selected for MPEG4 or MJPEG. - Page 23 If you are planning on using the device on an Internet connection It is recommended that you select a constant bitrate that corresponds to your actual upload speed. It is also recommended that you modify the frame rate and resolution as well, otherwise the video stream may become blocky or otherwise distorted.
- Page 24 Advanced: Interlacing There are two modes available: Interlaced or Progressive. Interlaced mode is a storage mode. An interlaced video stream contains fields rather than frames, with each field containing half of the lines of a frame. A progressive video stream consists of only full frames. Interlaced video streams can bring a lower bitrate but may cause lower quality.
- Page 25 I-frame only mode has very little compression resulting in large file sizes. I-frame and P-frame mode offers relatively good compression with medium file sizes. Although this requires more work on the host PC to decode the video. GOP Size GOP stands for Group of Pictures. It defines the number of frames from one I-frame to the next.
- Page 26 Image Adjustment: Contrast, Brightness, Hue and Saturation can be adjusted. Values run from -100 through 100. Rotation Select the Digital Rotation for the camera: 0 – 0 or 360 Degrees; 1- 90 Degrees; 2- 180 Degrees; 3- 270 Degrees.

Page 33: Ddns
– DDNS The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is used when users want to access the UNC7700 with an easy memorized name such as “http://demo.ddns.company.com” instead of “http://<IP address>. This service could be useful when the UNC7700 is located behind Dial-up ADSL or IP sharing devices, which don’t not have fix IP addresses, then it's impossible to reach the UNC7700 from Internet. - Page 34 Internet HTTP (port 80) request to Intranet port 8000, then, in this case, we must configure the "Router Incoming Port" to 80, and inside the NC Network settings should set HTTP port with 8000. Update Time: Specify the NC updated frequency in seconds, and the default is 600 (10 minutes), this is interval that NC will automatically send an updated packet to DDNS server.
- Page 35 change your register name by changing server name. Note: the user must verify on its own the full functionality of the DDNS service provider. Utilization of such service on any provider is dependant upon the user’s choice and responsibility.

Page 40: Motion Area
– Motion Area Motion Area: The “Motion Detection” icon (Configuration>Event>General>Trigger) must be enabled when use this function. Use Mouse to drag out a detection area on the video. Left-click the area and drag the corner to change the size. Right-click the area and select “Property”. Check “Enable”, click “OK”... - Page 41 Box Property: Motion vector threshold (default value: 4000): Motion vectors are typically used to compress video by storing the changes to an image from one frame to the next. We use these vectors creatively to detect and track motion and to find an alternative to traditional video decoding using phase shifting.
