• 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 directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub. Micro SD memory slot Insert the SD memory card (customer supplied). • Connecting the Power Connect a 12 VDC power adaptor (customer supplied) to the camera.
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 the 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.
3.4 Live View Page The live view page comes in several screen modes, for example 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x720, 800x600, 704x480 (576), 640x480, 352x240 (288) and 320x240. Select the most suitable mode in accordance with your PC specifications and monitoring purposes. 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.
3) Video Streams The network camera provides several images and video stream formats. Your requirements and the properties of your network will determine the type you use. The Live View page of the network camera provides access to H.264, MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG video streams and to the list of available video streams. Other applications and clients can also access these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page. 3.
3.5.1 Basic Configuration You can see the device information in this information page.
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 t 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.
