1 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the SkyIPCam310 PoE Network Camera, a camera device that can
be connected directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. Compared to the conventional
PC Camera, the SkyIPCam310 features a built-in CPU and web-based solutions that can
provide a cost-effective solution to transmit real-time high-quality video images and sounds for
monitoring. It can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over
the Intranet or Internet via a web browser.
The simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow you to integrate it into your
network easily. The camera features Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing you to
install and use it in an environment where is without power supply. In addition, with
comprehensive applications supported, the SkyIPCam310 is your best solution for remote
monitor, high quality, and high performance video images.
1.1 Features and Benefits
Simple To Use
The SkyIPCam310 is a standalone system with built-in CPU requiring no special hardware or
software such as PC frame grabber cards. The SkyIPCam310 supports both ActiveX mode (for
Internet Explorer users) and Java mode (for Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator users).
Therefore, all that is required is a web browser software such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above
or Netscape 6.0 or above. Just plug and view the picture from your SkyIPCam310 with a valid
IP Address.
Next-Generation PoE Technology
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af standard) eliminates the need of 110/220 AC power
for the wired LAN devices. With this innovative technology, the network manager can deploy
these Ethernet-powered devices using only a single CAT5 Ethernet cable that carries both
power and data to each device. This enables the user to build a network with greater flexibility
in the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) environments.
Support Variety of Platforms
The SkyIPCam310 supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related
protocols, and can be utilized in a mixed operating system environment such as Windows, Unix,
and Mac. It can be integrated easily into other www/Intranet applications.
Web Configuration
Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure and manage the
SkyIPCam310 directly from its own web page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 32 username s
and passwords are permitted with privilege setting controlled by the administrator.
RS-485 Support
The pin 1 & 2 of the I/O connectors are used for RS-485 data transmission. You can connect a
special featured device (such as an external camera stand with rotation function) to meet you
3
needs. When the external device is connected, you could configure the settings and control the
device from the RS485 window of Web Configuration Utility.
Remote Utility
The powerful IPView Pro application assigns the administrator with a pre-defined user ID and
password, allowing the administrator to modify the camera settings from the remote site via
Intranet or Internet. When new firmware is available, you can also upgrade remotely over the
network for added convenience. Users are also allowed to monitor the image, and take
snapshots.
Broad Range of Applications
With today’s high-speed Internet services, the SkyIPCam310 can provide the ideal solution for
live video images over the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. It allows remote access
from a web browser for live image viewing and allows administrator to manage and control the
SkyIPCam310 anywhere and any time in the world. Apply the SkyIPCam310 to monitor various
objects and places such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-care centers, amusement
parks and other varieties of industrial and public monitoring. It can also be used for intruder
detection; in addition, it can capture still images for archiving and many more applications.

3 3. Security
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the SkyIPCam310 the
Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System Administration for settings and
control requirements to allow users the level of entry and authorize the privileges for all users.
The SkyIPCam310 supports multi-level password protection and access to the SkyIPCam310 is
strictly restricted to define the user who has a “User Name” and “User Password” that is
assigned by the Administrator.
The administrator can release a public user name and password so when remote users access
the SkyIPCam310 they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the SkyIPCam310.
NOTE: Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly recommended to set the "Admin ID"
17
and "Admin Password" when you are the first time to use the SkyIPCam310. Once the ID and
Password are defined, only the administrator has the access to management the SkyIPCam310.
This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features with the
SkyIPCam310 will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.
