1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

AirLive FE-200DM is a Fish-Eye Panorama Network Dome Camera featured with 2Mega Pixel resolution and superior H.264-AVC performance and rich functions. AirLive FE-200DM includes a fish-eye lens for 360° panoramic wide angle view without blind spot. It is very suitable to view a wide area with only one single camera such as hallway, store, and office without the need to install multiple cameras.

The hardware base panorama video processing ability provides user flexible video layout including broad view, double broad view, 3 PTZ view, QUAD view, and table view. The e-PTZ function, pan, tilt and Zoom In/Out without moving parts, can replace traditional PTZ camera and thus save lost of traditional mechanical Pan/Tilt maintain cost.

The PoE function is designed for flexible installation. Further functions include two-way audio, DI/DO alarm application and micro SD card slot for local storage application.

Note: ONLY use package power adapter supplied with the internet. Otherwise, the

product may be damaged.

7. RJ-45 LAN Socket:

Connect to PC or Hub / Switch via a 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Cable. This Ethernet port built with audio-negotiation protocol which can detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network automatically. Please use CAT-5 cable to connect the Network Camera to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network switch or hub.

Note: ONLY use one power source, either from DC or from 802.3af Power over Ethernet.

8. Micro SD Card Slot:

9. Audio In:

Connect a microphone to the IP Camera. Be noted to use actively microphone (normally with power supplier on microphone) for this application.

10. Audio Out:

Connect a loud speaker to the IP Camera. This is for voice alerting and two-way audio. Be noted to use actively speaker (normally with power supplier on speaker) for this application.

AirLive FE-200DM Manual

11. GPIO:

The 7 pin terminal block includes 4 input ports and 1 output ports.

1.4 Mounting the Camera

Fix the camera with as below.

1. Take out the camera and accessories from the package:

1. Introduction

The installation sticker, stand and FE-200DM

2. First, paste the sticker to a suitable position. Fasten the screws with stand into the mounting hole. Pass the network cable through the "conduit hole".

AirLive FE-200DM Manual

1. Introduction

3. Connect the network cable into the camera, and then mount the camera onto the stand.

4. Rotate the camera by clockwise to mount it firmly.

1.5 Install the Camera in LAN

1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Camera

Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN socket and attach it into the network.

2. Connect the external power supply to Camera

Connect the attached power adapter to the DC power jack of the camera.

Note: Use the power adapter, 12VDC, included in the package and connect it to wall

outlet for AC power.

Once you have installed the camera well and powered it on, the power LED (orange) will turn on later. The power LED turned on, it means the system is booting up successfully. Furthermore, if you have a proper network connection, and access to the camera, the LAN LED (green) will flash.

AirLive FE-200DM Manual

2. Preparation

2.1 Search and Set up by IPWizard II

When you installed the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search your Cameras by IPWizard II or UPnP™ discovery. Here is the way to execute IPWizard II to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.

2.1.1 Search

When launch the IPWizard II, a searching window will pop up. IPWizard II is starting to search Network Cameras on the LAN. The existed devices will be listed as below.

AirLive FE-200DM Manual

2. Preparation

2.2 UPnP of Windows® XP, Vista or 7

UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, Vista or 7, of your PC is UPnP enabled, the Network Camera will be very easy to be found.

Please refer to Appendix J to enable UPnP settings only if your operating system of PC is running Windows XP.

Note: Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.

To discover your device, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places.

AirLive FE-200DM Manual

2. Preparation

Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera

automatically.

2.3 Install the Device behind a NAT Router

Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the Internet, you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup. However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.

Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3-step procedure:

(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router　 (2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Ca　 mera (default) (3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS　

AirLive FE-200DM Manual

2. Preparation

(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router

To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.

(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera

Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting.

Note that this option is default enabled.

(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS

Refer to Setting Î System Î System page for detail DIPS information.

2.4 Access the Device from the Internet Explorer for the First

Time

1. Start the web browser on the computer and type the IP address of the Camera you want to monitor as below:

The Login Window of the Camera is prompted:

AirLive FE-200DM Manual

2. Preparation

2. Type in your login name and password under “USERNAME” and “PASSWORD” textbox.

For the first time use (default value), input the

User Name: admin Password: airlive

After typing in “admin” on the “USERNAME” and “airlive” on the “PASSWORD”, click

“OK” button to start the main menu.

3. According your browser’s security setting, the IE Web Page may prompt the “Security Warning” window. If so, select “Yes” to install and run the ActiveX control into your PC. Otherwise, the system will load the ActiveX silently.

4. After the ActiveX control is installed and ran, the first image will be displayed.

z Stream Setting

Note: Configuration of stream 2 is the same as stream 1, but Stream 2 can only be set to 320x240 or 640x480.

z RTSP Path

The RTSP Path is the stream ID used for RTSP client streaming connection, such as VLC player. The default values are v00, v01 and v02 for the three streams respectively. The string can be any combination of number or capital/small letters. It cannot be empty however.

z Resolution

The resolution here describes an image size counted by width and height, e.g. 640x480, referring to pixel resolution. The 1st stream can be set from more options of resolution; 1600x1200 (2 megapixels), 1280x720(HD), 800x600(SVGA), 640x480(VGA), 320x240(QVGA), while Stream2 has the options of VGA and QVGA.

z Video Mode

This option allows the selection of two bit rate modes, the Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or Variable Bit Rate (VBR). CBR refers to the setting of a fixed Target Bit Rate (configuration in the rage of 64Kbps to 6Mbps) that would apply in the case of limited bandwidth or/and storage requirement. While CBR concerns a fixed data rate transmitting, the video quality is of high priority for VBR mode selected. VBR therefore is configured with the Quality Level (Standard, Good, Best). In general, CBR predicts the provided condition; if image activity requires higher bit rates than configured, the frame rate and quality would be affected as not likely to increase bandwidth (bit rate). In spite of the required recording storage estimation, VBR is by way of compensation that adjustable bit rate fits the actual image activity.
