Hardware Installation
Please verify that your product package contains
all the accessories listed in the foregoing Package
Contents. Depending on the user’s application,
an Ethernet cable may be needed. The Ethernet
cable should meet the specs of UTP Category 5
and not exceed 100 meters in length.
Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs
will blink between green and red a few times. If self-test passes, the LEDs will shut off
and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation. If
self-test fails the red LED will blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for
troubleshooting.
The Network Camera will first detect Ethernet. If it does not connect to Ethernet, the
Network Camera will try WLAN. During the searching and connecting process to the
wireless access point or station, the red LED of the Network Camera will flash every
second. Until the Network Camera connects to the other wireless device, the red LED
will become lighted. Operating in either network mode, the green LED will flash every

Network Camera will switch to wireless LAN mode.
To install in wireless LAN
If the Ethernet is not available while power on, the Network Camera will search for any
access point with the SSID “default”. Once any access point is found, the LED will turn
green to wait for installation. If the network environment cannot meet the default
settings, install Network Camera in Ethernet to proceed with wireless LAN
configuration.
The Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and
one relay switch for device control. Pin 1 and Pin 2 can be connected to an external
sensor device and the state of voltage can be monitored from the initial state 'LOW'.
The relay switches Pin 3 and Pin 4 can be used to turn on or off an external device.

Refer to the
Software 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.
At the end of the hardware installation, the Administrator must place the product
software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC running in MS Windows. An auto-run
program will pop up (If the program is not on auto-run, go to the root directory of the
software CD and click on “autorun.exe”).
Click on the IP installer to execute the installation program.
network setting chapter to setup wireless network parameters.
Install the Network Camera on Ethernet before install it on WLAN.
- 8 -
Upon IP installer’s start up, a searching box will pop
up. This program searches for the Network
Cameras on the same LAN:
After searching the LAN, the main window of IP installer will pop up.
The IP addresses shown in
the "Current IP Address"
field reflect those on the
local network. They may
be from the DHCP server.
If there is no DHCP server,
the camera will try to find a
free IP address (this takes
from 15 second to 3
minutes, depending on the
LAN status). The method of
finding IP address is
seeking from 192.168.0.99,
to 192.168.0.254. If any of
the address inside this
range is free, the Network
Camera will be assigned to
this IP, and its subnet mask
would be 255.255.255.0. If
none of the addresses is free, the Network Camera will try the range from 192.168.0.2
to 192.168.0.98. After an IP address is assigned to the camera, the “Activity” status
LED blinks.

The UPnP function will
always assign an IP
address for the Network
Camera.
The Administrator can
click on button “Link to
selected device” to
connect the I.E. to the
camera.
If the camera is not on
the IP installer list, click
on the “Search” button to

the LAN.
For the series number in the “Serial
Number” field, please check the label on the
bottom of the camera.
- 10 -
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 gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service
provider for the detail information. By default the Network Camera requires the
Administrator to run installation every time it reboots. If the network settings are to
remain unchanged, disable the Install option. Refer to “Network settings” on the
System Configuration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and cannot
proceed to setting up the Network Camera, restore the factory settings following the
steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of 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 implement 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
access. 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 are exclusive for the Administrator, such as system configuration,
user administration, and software upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is
permanently assigned as “root”. Once the password is changed, the browser will
display an authentication window to ask for the new password. Once set, there is
no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The only option is to
restore to the original factory default settings.
- 11 -
How to Use
Authentication
After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of the Network Camera, a
dialogue window pops up to request a username and password. Upon successful
authentication, the following figure is displayed.
The foreground is the login window and the background shows the message if
authentication fails. The user may check the option box to save the password for future
convenience. This option is not available to the Administrator for obvious reason.
- 12 -
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 that is 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. Users may click on to proceed. If the web browser does not allow the
user to continue to install, check the Internet security option and lower the security
levels or contact your IT or networking supervisor for help.

session for more details.
“Configuration” Only the Administrator can access camera configurations.
The Camera View:
The information bar at the top of the camera view shows the connection type to the
Network Camera and the current date/time.
The camera view provides not only the live video, but also a way to aim the Network
Camera to different target. Using mouse to click on the target inside the video will
command the Network Camera to aim at the target.
The Pan/Tilt Control Buttons:
The direction buttons are for Left, Right, Up, Down, and Home functions. The Home

and then to the right-most position. After panning, the camera returns to the original
position.
“Auto patrol”
This button commands the camera to patrol between the preset positions on the Patrol
List, which can be modified on the “Camera control page”. After one patrol cycle, the
camera returns to the original position.
“Stop” This stops the “Auto Pan” command or “Auto Patrol” command.
- 15 -
Client Settings
At the initial access to the “Connection type” page in Windows, the web browser will
ask for a new plug-in installation, the plug-in being the Network Camera. This plug-in
has been registered for certification and can be used to change the parameters at the
client’s site. The user may click on to install the plug-in. If the web browser
does not allow the user to complete the installation, check the Internet security to
lower the security level or contact your IT or networking supervisor.
There are two settings for the Client site. One is “Media Option” for the User to
determine if audio should be muted. The other is “Protocol Option” which allows
choices on connection protocol between client and server. There are three protocol
choices to optimize your usage - UDP, TCP and HTTP.
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.
- 16 -
The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produce a more accurate video display.
The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the
UDP protocol.
The HTTP protocol must be selected if the network is protected by a firewall and it only
allows HTTP Port (80) to be opened. In this mode, audio will not be sent and only video
is operational. If no special need is required, UDP protocol is recommended.
Generally speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP → TCP → HTTP.
After the Network Camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Option” will indicate the
selected protocol. The selected protocol will be 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 to detect again, manually select the UDP protocol, save, and
return HOME to re-connect.
<url> http://<Network Camera>/protocol.html
<Network Camera> is the domain name or the original IP address of the Network
Camera.

Administrator’s Capabilities
Fine-Tuning for Best Performance
There are a few choices the Administrator is allowed to maximize the capabilities of the
Network Camera. 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”, “Fix bit rate”, and “Fix quality” on the Video
Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance
possible.
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 25 fps in a 50Hz
system and 30 fps in a 60Hz system. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps,
you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate
- 18 -
to 25 fps or 30 fps. If you are shooting fast-moving images, you may want to slow the
maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission.
This allows for better video quality and the human eyes cannot readily detect the
differences between those of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second. If your network
bandwidth is below 384 Kbps, set the “Fix bit rate” according to your bandwidth and try
to get the best performance by fine-tuning with the “Maximum frame rate”. In a slow
network, greater frame rate results in blur images. Another work-around is to choose
“Half” in the “Size” option for better images, or “Halfx2” for a larger image view. Video
quality performance will vary somewhat due to the number of users viewing on the
network; even when the parameters have initially been finely tuned. Performance will
also suffer due to poor connectivity because of the network’s burst constraint.
Only Quality Images Will Do
To 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 increase with
added number of users.
Somewhere Between Real-time and Clear Images
If you have a broadband network, set “Fix quality” at ”Normal” or better, rather than
setting “Fix bit rate”. You can also fix the bandwidth 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.

Opening Accounts for New Users
Protect Network Camera by passwords
1
Network Camera is shipped without any password by default. That means everyone
can access Network Camera including the configuration as long as the IP address is
known. It is necessary to assign a password if 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. Then add an account with user name and
password for your friends in ○
2
. Network Camera can provide twenty accounts for your
valuable customers or friends. Each account identifies the access right rather than the
real visitor. That allows multiple visitors share the same account of different level. An
option to access DI/DO is provided for each account. Some users may need to prohibit
- 20 -
from controlling your attached devices. Another option allows different control to
pan/tilt functions of the Network Camera. You may delete some users from ○
3
.
More flexible options for viewers ○
The first option allows anyone uses “demo” as the user name to view without password.
The Administrator can also decide if more viewers are allowed to watch the video if the
viewers exceed the limit. The overloaded viewers will have snapshot mode instead.

Building a Multimedia Web Attraction Site
Demo on multiple sites – mid-scale service
The Network Camera can allow ten visitors to view on-line simultaneously. After
Installation, focus the Network Camera on any object you wish to share, and tell the
visitors to type in the web browser address. Caution: You may want to maintain your
visitor’s list in the security configuration page to block out unexpected visitors.
Product demo for e-business – Large-scale Service
If the number of visitors has exceeded the limit, the Network Camera can allow the
"overload" viewers to see the snapshots in JPEG mode, on the homepage. These are
still images and will be refreshed periodically and automatically. It needs a script
function supported by the web browser.
1. Click on “Configuration” on the homepage,
2. Click on “Security” in the left column,
3. Go to the bottom of the page and check off on “Allow more viewers with snapshot
mode”,
4. Set the snapshot interval to refresh the still image automatically. The longer the
snapshot interval, the better the snapshot mode works for multiple viewers.
- 21 -
If you want to expand to allow in more viewers, the host server should be able to
handle large network traffic, which must handle the picture refreshing from the
Network Camera.
If the web server space has FTP service
Set the Network Camera up as an FTP client to upload the pictures. The access to the
Network Camera will be independent of the number of viewers and the picture quality
will remain constant.
1. Click on “Configuration” on the homepage,
2. Click on “Network” in the left column,
3. Fill in the FTP related settings including server, user name and password, as well as
the upload path if it is specified by the web space,
4. Click on ”Save” and wait for the system to restart,
5. Click on “Application” in the left column,
6. Select the day or days of the week in “Weekly schedule” you want to upload the
pictures,
7. Select “Sequential operation” and set the interval,
- 22 -
8. Unselect "FTP put snapshots with date and time suffix" as the upload method and
click on "Save",
9. The image file uploaded to the web space is named “video.jpg”. Check if the file is
successfully uploaded to the correct folder,
10. Prepare a homepage with the embedded image reference to the image file
uploaded via FTP in advance.
If the web space has no FTP service
An auto-refresh homepage can be used to periodically poll the newest image from the
Network Camera. It is most efficient if using a free web space provider as the FTP
service may be limiting.
1. Prepare an auto-refresh homepage as the following example. The URL of image is
http://“IP address of the Network Camera”/cgi-bin/video.jpg. Modify the IP address
according to your Network Camera. Define the refresh interval according to your
network bandwidth for best result. If the refresh rate is too fast and there is a large
number of visitors, this may overload the Network Camera and slows the response.
- 23 -
Building a Security Application
The Administrator can
combine options on the
application page to perform
many useful security
applications. There are two
trigger sources coming from
attached devices, such as for
motion detection. There are
also two kinds of actions
responding to such events,
including uploading
snapshots over the Internet
and driving other attached
devices. To upload the
snapshots, the User can
choose either email or FTP
according to user’s needs. Both e-mail and FTP use the network settings on the
network page. Refer to the definition section for detail configuration.
1. Click on “Configuration” on
homepage,
2. Click on “Application” in the left
column,
3. Check the weekdays as you
need and give the period of

Network Settings
Any changes made on this page will restart the system in order to validate the changes.
Make sure every field is entered correctly before clicking on .
"Reset IP address at next boot", the default status is checked to avoid erroneous
entries during installation. This can be tedious having to perform software installation
whenever the Network Camera starts. Therefore, once the network settings, especially
the IP address, have been entered correctly, uncheck this option. If this option is
disabled, the Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot. The Network
Camera can automatically restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users
can run IP installer to check the IP address assigned to the Network Camera if the IP
address is forgotten or using the UPnP function provided by the Network Camera (MS
Windows XP provides UPnP function at Network Neighbors).
General
“IP address” This is necessary for network identification.
“Subnet mask” This is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The
default value is “255.255.255.0”.
“Default router” This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a
different subnet. Invalid router setting will fail the transmission to destinations in
different subnet.
“Primary DNS” The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP
addresses.
“Secondary DNS” Secondary domain name server that backups the Primary DNS.
HTTP
“Http port” This can be other than the default Port 80. Once the port is changed, the
User must be notified the change for the connection to be successful. For instance,
when the Administrator changes the HTTP port of the Network Camera whose IP
address is 192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080, the User must type in the web browser
“http://192.168.0.100:8080” instead of “http://192.168.0.100”.
- 31 -
Streaming
“Control channel port” This can be something other than the default port 5001 in
order to work with the port opened by the firewall.
“Audio channel port” This can be something other than the default port 5002 in order
to work with the port opened by the firewall.
“Video channel port” This can be something other than the default port 5003 in order
to work with the port opened by the firewall.
“Improve audio quality in low bandwidth environment” If the Network Camera
seems to work in a low bandwidth network environment, the User can use this option
to see if audio quality can be improved by sacrificing some real-time synchronization.
WLAN Configuration
“SSID” (Service Set Identifier), it is a name that identifies a wireless network. Access
Points and wireless clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local
Area Network) must use the same SSID. The default setting is default. Note: The
maximum length of SSID is 32 single-byte characters and SSID can’t be any of “, <, >
and space character.
“Wireless mode” Clicking on the pull-down menu to select from the following
options:
“Infrastructure” Make the Network Camera connect to the WLAN via an Access Point.
(The default setting)
“Ad-Hoc” Make the Network Camera connect directly to a host equipped with a
wireless adapter in a peer-to-peer environment.
“Channel” While in infrastructure mode, the channel is selected automatically to
match the channel setting for the selected Access Point. In Ad-Hoc mode, the channel
must be manually set to the same channel for each wireless adapter. The default
channel setting depends on the installed region.
“TX rate” This field is for selecting the maximum transmission rate on the network.
The default setting is “auto”, that is the Network Camera will try to connect to the other

FTP
“Local FTP server port” This can be other than the default Port 21. The user can
change this value from 1 to 65535. After the change, the external FTP client program
must change the server port of connection accordingly.
“1st FTP server” The domain name or the IP address of the external FTP server. The
following user settings must be correctly configured for remote access.
“1st FTP user name” Granted user name on the external FTP server.
“1st FTP password” Granted password on the external FTP server.
“1st FTP remote folder” Granted folder on the external FTP server. The string must
conform to that of the external FTP server. Some FTP servers cannot accept preceding
slash symbol before the path without virtual path mapping. Refer to the instructions for
the external FTP server for details. The folder privilege must be open for upload.
“Primary FTP passive mode” The Network Camera is located inside the network
protected by a firewall, data connection for FTP may be prohibited. By selecting
passive mode, the FTP can bypass the rule and allow snapshot upload to proceed. If
the passive mode is selected, the Network Camera can automatically attempt for
active mode, if the external FTP server does not support passive mode.

Video Codec Parameters
“Text on video” The text will be displayed in the black bar above the video window
with a timestamp. The timestamp is captured from the date and time of the Network
Camera that is maintained by a built-in real-time clock.
“Color” Select either for color or monochrome video display.
"Size" There are three options for two video sizes. “Half” is the quarter size of “Normal”.
“Half x 2” has the same video size as “Normal” but of a lesser quality, while consuming
less network bandwidth.
"Maximum frame rate" This limits the maximal refresh frame rate, which can be
combined with the "Video quality control" to optimize bandwidth utilization and
video quality. If the User wants to fix the bandwidth utilization regardless of the video
quality, choose "Fix bit rate" and select the desired bandwidth. The video quality may
be poor due to the sending of maximal frame rate within the limited bandwidth when
images are moving rapidly. Consequently, to ensure detailed video quality
(quantization rate) regardless of the network, it will utilize more bandwidth to send the
maximal frames when images change drastically.
"Flip" Vertically rotate the video.
"Mirror" Horizontally rotate the video. Check options both if the Network Camera is
installed upside down.
“White balance” Adjust the value for best color temperature.
Click on this button to pop up another window to tune "Brightness",
“Contrast”, “Hue” and "Saturation" for video compensation. Each field has eleven
levels ranging from -5 to +5. The User may press to fine-tune the image. When
the image is O.K., press to set the image settings. Click on this to recall
the original settings without incorporating the changes.

Click on this button to save the related window settings. A graphic bar will rise or
fall depending on the image variations. A green bar means the image variation is under
monitoring level and a red bar means the image variation is over monitoring level.
When the bar goes red, the detected window will also be outlined in red. Going back to
the homepage, the monitored window is hidden but the red frame shows when motion
is detected.
"Window Name" The text will show at the top of the window.
“Sensitivity” This sets the endurable difference between two sequential images.
“Percentage” This sets the space ratio of moving objects in the monitoring window.
Higher sensitivity and small percentage will allow easier motion detection.
The following figure shows the screen when is clicked.

Application Setup
Weekly Schedule
“Sun” ~ “Sat” Select the days of the week to perform the following operations.
“Snapshots begin at” Set the time to start operations. “Snapshots stop at” Set the
time to stop operations.
Setting identical begin time and stop time means 24-hour operation.
Event Operation
“Delay second(s) before detecting next event” Set the time delay before
restarting to check on the triggering condition when the current condition is triggered.
“Take snapshots at second(s) after event” After the camera has taken a snapshot
when a condition is triggered, another snapshot will be taken after this configured
interval, in seconds.
“Trigger condition” There are four conditions relative to the digital input and the
three windows for motion detection. More than one condition can be selected at once.
Select the appropriate digital input condition that suits the characteristics of the
external device. “high”, “low” selects level-triggering via external voltage input.
“rising”, “falling” is for edge-triggering. There are three windows for motion detection
each can be assigned a name. If motion detection has not been set up, “undefined”
will be shown instead of the window title. If this happens, clicking on “Motion
detection” and a note will show to direct the User to the configuration page for motion
detection.
“Trigger action” There are four options for two types of action. More than one
condition can be selected at once. While choosing to trigger an output alarm, the digital
output will short both pins and complete the external device’s circuit. The normal
state is open. Either email or FTP can be used to command uploading snapshots. The
snapshot names will be “vpre.jpg”, “vtrg.jpg”, and “vpos.jpg”, respectively. They
stand for the snapshots, before event, right upon event, and after event. The date and
- 39 -
time suffix may also be added as an option. Confirm the external mail or FTP server
settings in the network configuration.
“Reset output” Select and save this option to reset the external device at the digital
output to return to the original state.
Sequential Operation
“Snapshot every second(s)” The Network Camera will send snapshots at the
specified intervals to the external server using the method selected below. Remember:
This operation is still subject to the conditions set in the weekly schedule.
“Send snapshots by email” This selects the uploading method following the intervals
set above. The snapshot named “video.jpg” will be attached in the email with the
subject title “Periodic snapshots”.
“Send snapshots by FTP” The snapshots will be uploaded to the external FTP server
with the file name defined in the next option. This can also be used to refresh the
captured images stored in the external web server to build creative homepages.
“FTP put snapshots with date and time suffix” This option sets up the snapshot
capture date and time, which can be used to easily differentiate the snapshot file
names in either the sequential or event operation. For instance,
“video@20030102030405.jpg” means the JPEG image was captured in the year 2003,
January the 2nd, at 3 o’clock, 4 minute, and 5 second. If this suffix is omitted, the file
named “video.jpg” on the external FTP server will be refreshed at the specified
interval.

B. Frequently Asked Questions
Q What if I forget my password?
A After the Administrator's password has been assigned, every access to the Network
Camera needs authentication. If you are one of the managed users, you have to ask
the Administrator for the password. If you are the Administrator, there is no way to
recover the root password except by restoring the factory default settings. Refer to
Appendix A for the procedures.
Q Why can I not watch video from the Network Camera after it is authenticated?
A There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem,
1. If you have just installed the Network Camera and are unable to watch the video,
check if the heartbeat LED is blinking or the lens cap is off. If the heartbeat LED is dim,
perform the software installation again.
2. If the Network Camera is well installed and you are accessing the Network Camera
for the first time using Internet Explorer, adjust the security level of Internet Explorer
to allow installation of plug-ins.
3. If the problem still exists after adjusting, and the message over the image window
is showing "connecting", the network traffic may be too crowded.
Q What is the plug-in for?
A The plug-in provided by the Network Camera is used to display motion pictures and
audio in Internet Explorer. If your system does not allow installation of any plug-in
software, the security level of the web browser may need to be lowered. It is
recommended that you consult your network supervisors in your office regarding
adjustment of the security level. Software installation may be regulated in some
offices.
Q Why is the timestamp different from the system time of my PC or notebook?
A The timestamp is based on the system time of the Network Camera. It is maintained
by a real-time clock inside and can be automatically synchronized with the time-server
if the Network Camera is connected to the Internet and the function is enabled.
Differences of several hours may result from the time zone setting.
- 46 -
Q Can I install it on ceiling?
A Yes. There are flip and mirror options in the video configuration page to correct the
images for upside down installation.
Q The image is not clear enough.
A Rotate the lens to adjust the focus after the Network Camera has been installed in
the proper position. The image settings and white balance can be fine tuned to achieve
the best visual effect. Also notice the power line frequency must match the local utility
to synchronize and minimize the effect of flickering florescent lights.
Q Why does the image not refresh regularly?
A Some anti-virus programs filter the received web content. It takes time to perform
data examination and affect the streaming application such as that of the Network
Camera. However, it only affects the HTTP mode of the Network Camera. If the
network allows only HTTP mode, disable the web filtering function of the anti-virus
program temporarily. During this period, the User should be aware of the risk of
malicious network activity.
Q I have opened motion detection windows but it cannot work.
A If the motion detection windows are set up and names are given, check to see if the
function is checked on the first line. While it is enabled, adjust the sensitivity and
percentage to monitor the level indicator for best results.
Q I cannot hear any sound while watching.
A If there is "V_ONLY" shown above the image, click on connection type to uncheck
"Disable audio". If there is "V" shown instead of "AV", the sound card in your PC may
not have been properly installed. If "AV" is shown, check the audio source of the
Network Camera, make sure you are using internal or external microphone.
Q How many users are allowed to watch the Network Camera at the same time?
A Too many users requesting the real-time multimedia content will jam the network.
For best results, the Network Camera is designed to accommodate a maximum of ten
(10) users to watch and listen at the same time. For a larger number of users, it is
recommended to build another web server to host the retrieved contents from the
Network Camera.
- 47 -
Q How fast is the video rate of the Network Camera?
A The MPEG4 codec engine can process up to 30 frames per second internally. However,
the total performance is subject to many coefficients such as:
1. Network throughput,
2. Bandwidth share,
3. Number of users,
4. The complicated/detailed objects and movement in view,
5. The power of your PC or notebook computer that is responsible for displaying
images.
In general, the transfer rate in a general local network environment can achieve over
200 kilobytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 pictures per second from a
regular environment.
Q How can I keep the Network Camera as private as possible?
A The Network Camera is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible
interfaces. The user authentication and special confirmation in installation can keep
the Network Camera from unauthorized access. You may also change the HTTP port to
a non-public number. The demo account is good to separate guests from normal users
and thus you can easily block the guests anytime. You can check the system log to
examine any abnormal activities and trace the origins.
Q Why can I not access the Network Camera when I set up some options in the
application?
A Since the Network Camera is a "network camera", any incorrect network settings will
make it inaccessible. If this happens, restore the factory default settings following the
procedures in Appendix A.
