Digital Input/Output Terminal
This Network Camera provides a general I/O termina l
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 Camer a . There ma y be
many Network Camera s in the local network. User s can differentiate the Network Ca meras
with the serial number. The serial number is printed on the labels on the carton and the
back of the Network Camera body. Please refer to the user ’s manual for the Installati on
Wizard for more details.
Once the installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the next
section "Initial access to the Network Camera" for necessary checks and
configurations.
- 4 -
www.4XEM.com
Initial Access to the Network Camera
Check Network Settings
The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediate ly after software inst allation
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 ne twork administrator or Inte rnet service provider for the details. If any
setting is entered incorrectly and you cannot proceed with setting up the N etwork Camera,
restore the factory settings following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the
Appendix.
Add Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access
The default
Administrator’s
password is blank and
the Network Camera
initially will not ask for
any password. The
Administrator should
immediately assign a
new password as a
matter of prudent
security practice.
Once the
Administrator’s
password is saved,
the Network Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before each acce ss. The
Administrator can set up a maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each user can access the
Network Camera except to perform system configuration. Some critical functions such as
system configuration, user administra tion, a nd software upgrade s are accessible only by the
Administrator . The user name for the Administrator is permanently assigned as “root”. Once the
password is changed, the bro wser will display an authentication window to ask for the new
password. Once the password is set, there is no provision to recover the
Administra t o r’ s p a s s w or d. The onl y op t i o n is to restore to the original factory
default settings.

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.
- 8 -
www.4XEM.com
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some packet s
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 . Gener ally speaking, the client’ s choice will be
in the order of UDP – TCP.
After the Network Camera is connected successfully , Protocol Option will indicate the selected
protocol. The selected protoc ol will b e recorded in the user's PC and will be used for the next
connection. If the network environment is changed, or the user wants to let the web browser
detect again, manually select the UDP protocol, save, and return HOME to re-connect.
Digital Output
Click on ON, the digital output of the Network Camera will be t riggered. Or, clicking on OFF can

Administrator’s Capability
Fine-tuning for Best Performance
Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best video
quality , a nd 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 be st p erformance possible.
For Viewing by Mobile Phone
Most 3GPP cell phone supports media streaming with MPEG4 video and GSM-AMR audio. Due to
the limitation of the bandwidth for 3GPP, only 176x144 video solution will be supporte d for cell
phone viewing. Select the Configure for mobile viewing option will change the range of
other related video settings.
- 10 -
www.4XEM.com
For Best Real-time Video Images
T o achieve go od real-time visual effect, the network band width 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. If
the images vary dr amatically in yo ur environme nt, you may want to slow the maximum fr ame
rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of da ta transmission. This allows for better video
quality and the human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between 20, 25, or 30 frames
per second. If your network bandwidth is below 512 Kbps, set the Fix bit rate according to
your bandwidth and try to ge t the best performa nce by fine-tuning wit h the Maximum frame rate. In a slow network, greater frame r a te re sults in b lur ima ges . Another work-around is to
choose 160x120 in the Size option for better images. Video quality performance will vary
somewhat due to the number of users viewing on the network, even when the parameter s have
initially been finely tuned. Performa nce will also suffer due to poor connectivity because of the
network’s burst constraint.
Only Quality Images Will Do
T o have the best video quality , you should set Fix quality at Detailed or Excellent and adjust
the Maximum frame rate to match your network’s bandwidth. If your network is slow and you
receive “broken” pictures, go to the TCP protocol in Connection type and choose a more
appropriate mode of transmission. The images may suffer a time delay due to a slower
connection. The delay will also incre ase with added number of users.
Somewhere Between Real-time and Clear Images
If you have a broadband netw ork, set Fix quality at Normal or better , rather than setting Fix
bit rate. Y ou can also fix the bandw idth according to your actual network speed and adjust the
frame rate. Start from 30 fps down for best results but not below 15 fps. If the image
qualities are not improved, select a lower bandwidth setting.
