Package Contents The following items should be included: If any of these items are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately.
Chapter 2 Basic Setup 2 This Chapter provides details of installing and configuring the ICA-650. System Requirements • To use the LAN interface, a standard 10/100Base-TX hub or switch and network cable is required. • Minimum System Requirement : System Hardware Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later Windows ME, 2000, XP, or 2003 1-4 cameras surveillance application • CPU: Pentium 4, 1.
Installation 防 坠落 保险 索 协 议码 、和 地址码 开关 Use the rubber ring, nut, and screw to mount the power box and outdoor speed dome IP cam to the wall. Note: You need to choose correct screws to fix the outdoor speed dome IP cam to the wall. Other types of screws need to buy locally.
Setup Initial setup can be performed either from the web browser or using the supplied Windows-based camera utilities. This program can locate the ICA-650 even if its IP address is invalid for your network. You can then configure the ICA-650 with appropriate TCP/IP settings for your LAN. Subsequent administration can be performed with your Web browser, as explained in Chapter 3 - Web-based Administration.
• Choose the destination camera for IP address and device name modifications. • After modifications, you may now connect the camera via web browser.
Chapter 3 Advanced Viewing Setup 3 This Chapter provides information about the optional settings and features for viewing video via the ICA-650. This Chapter is for Administrators only. Introduction After finishing the network setup, the ICA-650 can immediately be used by all users on your LAN.
Camera setting 3. Make the required adjustments, as explained below, and save your changes. Camera Settings Image Size Select the desired video resolution. The default resolution is set to 320*240. Available resolution: ‧176x144‧320x240‧352x288 ‧ 640x480 Image Quality Select the desired image quality. The default Image Quality is set to Standard.
L Note Please check the appendix B for more information on the image adjustment.
Controlling User Access to the Video Stream By default, only system administrators can connect to the ICA-650 and view live Video. If desired, you may apply the access privileges to known users, by requiring each user to login to the ICA-650 with their individual username and password. To enable this feature: 1. Connect to the Web-based interface of the ICA-650. (Please check related chapters for details.) 2. In machine Administration menu, select User. 3.
Making Video available from the Internet If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the ICA-650 available via the Internet. ICA-650 Setup The ICA-650 configuration does NOT have be changed, unless: • You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024). • You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the ICA-650. Second HTTP Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Many Internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established. This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection. DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a domain name, rather than an IP address. To use DDNS: 1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider.
L Hint The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry above is the "Second Port" number specified on the Network screen of the ICA-650. Viewing via the Internet Clients (viewers) will need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT recommended. Using your Web Browser If using your Web browser, you need to know the address of the camera (either the Internet IP address or the Domain name) and the correct communication port number.
You can then select the camera in the Cameras list on the main screen, and click OK to establish a connection and view live video. Please check respective chapter for further details of viewing Video using either the Windows Viewing/Recording utility or Web Browser.

Appendix A Alarm I/O Connector Appendix A Alarm I/O Connector Some features of the Network Camera can be activated by an external sensor that senses physical changes in the area Network Camera is monitoring. These changes can include intrusion detection or certain physical change in the monitored area. For examples, the external sensor can be a door switch or an infrared motion detector. These devices are customer provided, and are available from dealers who carry surveillance and security products.
Explanation of External I/O Circuit Diagram Example CAUTION! • THE LOW VOAGE/CURRENT CIRCUITS AND HIGH VOAGE/ CURRENT CIRCUITS ARE IN THE NETWORK CAMERA CIRCUIT. THE QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD DO THE WIRING NOT BY YOURSELF. INCORRECT WIRING COULD DAMAGE NETWORK CAMERA. YOU COULD RECEIVE THE FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK. • THE EXTERNAL I/O IS NOT CAPABLE OF CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO DEVICES THAT REQUIRE LARGE AMOUNTS OF CURRENT. IN SOME CASES, A CUSTOM INTERFACE CIRCUIT (CUSTOMER PROVIDED) MAY HAVE TO BE USED.
Appendix B Troubleshooting Appendix B Troubleshooting Q: The video and audio codec is adopted in the Network Camera? A: The Network Camera utilizes JPEG compression to providing high quality images. JPEG is a standard for image compression and can be applied to various web browsers without the need to install extra software. The audio codec is ADPCM compression. Q: The maximum number of users access Network Camera simultaneously.
experiencing problems, try upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer from the Microsoft webpage at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie. Q: IP Finder program fails to save the IP address parameters A:. • Don’t leave any space in the name field. Use underline, “_”, or dash, “-“ to replace the space, “ “. • Network may have trouble. Confirm the parameters and connections of the ICA-650.
correctly. Check your Internet Explorer security settings and then close and restart Internet Explorer. Try to browse and log in again. Q: Check the ICA-650’s ActiveX is installed on your computer A: Internet Explorer displays the following message: “Your current security settings prohibit downloading ActiveX controls”. Setup the IE security settings or configure the individual settings to allow downloading and scripting of unsigned ActiveX controls.
Q: Image flickers A: ‧ Wrong power line frequency makes images flicker. Make sure the NTSC or PAL format of your ICA-650 .• If the object is dark, the image will flicker. Make the condition around the ICA650 brighter. Q: Noisy images occurs A: The video images might be noisy if the ICA-650 is located in a very low light environment. Make the condition around the ICA-650 brighter. Q: How to Reboot the ICA-650 A: If you just want to reboot system without change anything.
Appendix C Bandwidth Calculation Appendix C: Bandwidth Calculation The frame rate of video transmitted from the ICA-650 depends on connection bandwidth between client and server and quality setting of server. Here is a guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements form your ICA-650. Image bandwidth is approximately equal to the average frame rate in frames per second multiplied by the average frame data size in kilobits.
