2.2 Connection • Connection Cable NO 1 2 3 • Name Lens Power Cable Ethernet Cable Description Allows wide area to be monitored Cable for power source (12 VDC ) Cable for Ethernet (PoE) Connecting to the RJ-45 Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally a cross-over cable is used for direct connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub or switch. Micro SD memory slot Insert the SD memory card (customer supplied).
2.3 Network Connection and IP assignment The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. By factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server the network camera will use 192.168.1.100 as the default IP address.
3. Operation The network camera can be used with Windows® operating system and browsers. The recommended browsers are Internet Explorer®, Safari®, Firefox®, Opera® and Google® Chrome® with Windows. Note: To view streaming video in Microsoft® Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls. Note: Some screens may appear different (i.e., color scheme) depending on the firmware version, but the functionality is the same or similar. 3.1 Access from a browser 1. 2. 3. Start a browser (i.e.
3.2. Access from the internet Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the network camera. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT. For more information, refer to “3.5.
1) General controls Live View Page Search & Playback Page Setup Page Help Page The video drop-down list allows you to select a customized or pre-programmed video stream on the live view page. Stream profiles are configured under Setup > Basic Configuration > Video & Image. For more information, see section “3.5.1 Basic Configuration > Video & Image” of this user’s manual. The resolution drop-down list allows the selection of the most suitable video resolution to be displayed on Live View page.
3.5 Network Camera Setup This section describes how to configure the network camera, and is intended for product Administrators, who have unrestricted access to all the Setup tools, and Operators, who have access to the settings for Basic, Live View, Video & Image and System Configuration. The network camera is configured by clicking Setup in the top right-hand corner of the Live View page. Click on to access the online help that explains the setup tools.
1) Users User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other users, by giving these user names and passwords. It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may access the Live View page, as described below: The user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels): User Group Guest Operator Administrator Authority Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.
2) Network The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router. There is also the option of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
3) Video & Image • Stream1 Setting Codec: The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate. There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up.
* MPEG4 SP (Simple Profile): Mostly aimed for use in situations where low bit rate and low resolution are mandated by other conditions of the applications, like network bandwidth, device size, etc. - Resolution: Resolution enables users to determine a basic screen size when having access through the Web Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in several modes, such as 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x720, 800x600, 704x480 (576), 640x480, 352x240 (288) and 320x240.
• Stream2 Setting Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the frame rate and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution, Frame rate, and Frame Quality should be set to an optimal value.
• • New Server Time Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to automatically adjust for daylight savings time, select the “Automatically adjusts for daylight saving time changes”. From the Time Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time: Synchronize with computer time: Sets the time from the clock on your computer.

• DSCP Settings For each type of network traffic supported by your network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.
NAT A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
• NAT traversal Settings Enable: Click the Enable button to enable NAT traversal; pressing the button toggles between enable and disable. When enabled, the network camera attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP. Note that UPnP must be enabled in the network camera (see System>Network>UPnP). Enter a NAT router and enter the external port number for the router in the field provided.
Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.
