Installation In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Network Camera, and "Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Network Camera and grant user access to the camera. Hardware Installation Using the Power Adapter as power source: 1. Plug the Ethernet cable into the Network Camera. 2. Connect the Power Adapter to the Network Camera. 3. Plug the Power Adapter into electrical outlet. 4. Observe LED status lights (status light progression specified below).
Digital Input/Output Terminal This Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one digital output device control. Software Installation When the hardware installation is complete, users can use the Installation Wizard program included in the product CDROM to find the location of the Network Camera. There may be many Network Cameras in the local network. Users can differentiate the Network Cameras with the serial number.
Initial Access to the Network Camera Check Network Settings The Network 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 the gateway and the DNS Servers. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the details.
How to Use Installing Plug-in For the initial access to the Network Camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt for permission to install a new plug-in for the Network Camera. Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user’s PC or notebook. If the highest security level is set, the computer may prohibit any installation and execution attempt. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to display the video in the browser. may Users click on to proceed.
Primary User’s Capability Main Screen with Camera View Snapshot: Opens a still picture of current view in new window. Client Settings: Configures local Browser settings. Configuration: Provides access to all camera configuration options. Camera View: Live streaming video. Digital Zoom Click on the magnifier icon under the camera view then the digital zoom control panel will be shown.

Snapshot Click on Snapshot, web browser will pop up a new window to show the snapshot. Users can point at the snapshot and click the right mouse button to save it. Client Settings There are two settings for the client side: Media Options to determine the type of media to be streamed and Protocol Options which allows choice of connection protocol between client and server. There are two protocol choices to optimize your usage – UDP and TCP. -8www.4XEM.
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured. 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. If no special need is required, UDP protocol is recommended. Generally speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP – TCP.
Administrator’s Capability Fine-tuning for Best Performance Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The three factors, Maximum frame rate, Constant bit rate, and Fix quality on the Audio and Video Configuration page, correlate to allow for achieving the best performance possible. For Viewing by Mobile Phone Most 3GPP cell phone supports media streaming with MPEG4 video and GSM-AMR audio.
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 Fix bit rate to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps, and set Fix quality at the highest quality. The maximum frame rate is 30. If your network bandwidth is more than 512Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate to 30 fps.
Opening Accounts For New Users 1 2 3 Protect Network Camera by passwords The Network Camera is shipped without any password by default. That means everyone can access the Network Camera including the configuration as long as the IP address is known. It is necessary to assign a password if the Network Camera is intended to be accessed by others. Type a new word twice in 1 to enable protection. This password is used to identify the administrator.
