Network Protocol: TCP/IP
Network Structure: Applies to all network connections 10/100M LAN platform
2.1. Network Connection
Intranet and Extranet Connection Reference:
Extranet means public IP, Intranet means private IP. If your IP belongs to the follow range, then it’s a private IP :
Category A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
Category B: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
Category C: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Intranet Connection: IP camera and user’s computer(device) should be under the same network environment, and both
of their IP should be under the same subnet, then means correct connection, picture as below:
Extranet Connection: there are 2 ways as below:
(1). IP camera connect to the Internet via router, here camera’s IP is a private IP, clients need to connect to IP camera
through a router, with forwarding rule to be connected correctly, as below:
(2). IP camera connect to the Internet directly, if it’s a fixedIP which provided by ISP, just input it. If it’s a floating IP,
then input the account and password which provided by ISP to dial-up connection.
UPnP could help you to find your camera’s IP more faster. For Window XP, from “Control Panel” > “Add or remove
applications” > “Add or remove Windows component” > “Network service” > “Detailed data” > “UPnP users
interface”, enable it, factory settings is disable. Then it can allow your operating system to support UPnP.
2.3. Login the Camera
Step 1: Install from CD into computer,then generate a icon
Step 2: Double click “Search IPCam”, camera IP & MAC list will be displayed. If you want to re-search, click

2. The video is not smooth
Possible reason 1: The frame rate value is too small.
Solution: Increase the frame rate value.
Possible reason 2: Too many users are connecting to the device.
Solution: Close some connection or reduce the video frame rate.
Possible reason 3: Network bandwidth is too low, lots of lost packets.
Solution: Reduce the video frame rate or video compression bit rate.
3. Fail to visit IP camera via browser
Possible Reason 1: Network is disconnected.
Solution: Connect your PC to network, check whether the network works well or not. Check whether the cable problem,
or network problem caused by PC virus.
Possible reason 2: IP Address has been occupied by other devices.
Solution: Stop the connection between IP camera and network, connect the IP camera to PC
directly, reset IP address according to the proper operations recommended.
Possible reason 3: IP addresses are in different subnets.

4. The color of image is abnormal (Green or other color)
Sometimes the IP camera images cannot be displayed properly because of different graphics cards, the images appears
to be green or other colors, then you should run the programme “Config.exe” from the downloaded OCT files.
(or run C:\windows\system32\Config.exe) to set the following parameters of display buffer: auto-detection, used
display card memory or system memory,
then run IE , connect IP camera again.
5. There is no voice while monitoring
Possible Reason 1: No audio input connection
Solution: Check audio connection of the host
Possible Reason 2: the relative audio option of IP camera is OFF.
Solution: Check audio parameter settings to see if you have set the audio option ON, but without external audio input.
6. Image processing doesn’t work properly
Possible Reason 1: System problem, DirectX function is disabled, which will cause slow display of images and
abnormal color.
Possible Reason 2: Hardware problem, graphics card doesn’t support image acceleration and hardware zooming
functions. (For hardware issue, the only solution is to change the graphics card)
Solution: Install DirectX image driver, then click “Start”>”Run”>input “dxdiag”, set enable "DirectDraw
Acceleration" "Direct3D Acceleration " "AGP Texture Acceleration" functions.
.
Note: If you are unable to do it, it means your DirectX is not installed properly or hardware doesn't support this
function.
7. Fail to use DDNS
Possible Reason 1: The PC or IP Camera can’t connect to the internet.
Solution: Check the internet connection and settings.
Possible Reason 2: Port forward is not set in router.
Solution: Set the port forward of extranet in router correctly.
For example, if IP Camera address is: 192.168.1.100, Media port is 38401, Web port is 85, factory DDNS is
http://test.aipcam.com. Use router as below:
(1) Login the router.
(2) Choose “Forwarding”, select “Virtual Servers”
(3) Click the Add New button, pop-up below:
Fill the service port as 85, IP address as 192.168.1.100, click Save.
(4) Repeat the step 3, will pop-up the window again, fill the service port as 38401, IP address as 192.168.1.100, then
save.
(5) Then check the “Device Info”–“DDNS Status”,
will show DDNS: http://test.aipcam.com:85 , input this link in IE, then can visit this camera remotely.
