Security
7
IP Security Cam
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the IP Security Cam 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 IP Security Cam supports multi-level password
protection and access to the IP Security Cam is strictly restricted to defined the user who has a "User Name" and
"User Password" that is assigned by the Administrator.
Administrator can release a public user name and password so when remote users access the IP Security Cam they
will have the right to view the image transmitted by the IP Security Cam.
Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly recommended to set the "Admin ID"
and "Admin Password" when you are the first time to use the IP Security Cam. Once the
ID and Password are defined, only the administrator has the access to management the IP
Security Cam. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security
features with the IP Security Cam will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin
Password" is defined.

Cam. This will prevent errors from occurring if the IP address is overlapped.
There are two options to select from the IP Assignment: Manually Assign or Assign Automatically Using.
Manually Assign
You can click “Manually Assign” and directly enter the IP address.
The default settings are as follows:
• Default IP – 192.168.0.20
• Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0
Assign Automatically Using
If your network is using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server, you can click “Assign Automatically Using” and then
click “RARP”, “BOOTP” or “DHCP”. Under this setting the IP Security Cam will automatically assign an IP
address from RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server. Every time when the camera starts up, please make sure that the
DHCP server is set to assign a static IP address to your camera.
If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the IP Security Cam’s RJ-45 LAN
port, and you also have an ISP PPPoE account, click “PPPoE” option and enter the Service Name, User ID and
Password into the respective fields. The IP Security Cam will get an IP address from the ISP as starting up.
DNS IP Address:
DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Enter at
least one DNS IP Address.
Dynamic DNS:
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the domains,
allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.
Wireless Interface:
Connection Mode:
Use the Connection Mode to determine the type of wireless communication for the IP Security Cam. There are
three choices of Infrastructure mode, and Adhoc mode. The default setting for the Connection Mode is
Infrastructure.
Network Name:
This field is used to setup which wireless network (ESS-ID Extended Service Set ID) the IP Security Cam is to be
connected for communication. The ESS-ID is a unique identifier shared among all points in a wireless network
environment.
12
IP Security Cam
The default Network Name is blank space (NULL String), and this default setting will let the IP Security Cam
connect to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode.
To connect the IP Security Cam to a specific access point on the network, please make sure to set the ESS-ID of the
IP Security Cam to correspond with the access point’s ESS-ID for communication. Type any string up to 32
characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the Network Name box.
To connect the IP Security Cam to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup, please make sure to set the same wireless
channel and ESS-ID to match with the PC/Notebook wireless channel and ESS-ID for direct wireless
communication under the Ad-hoc wireless workgroup.
Wireless Channel:
The pull down menu provides the wireless channel for communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be
used in communication between the IP Security Cam and Access Point in infrastructure mode or the IP Security
Cam and PC/Notebook in Ad-hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the
regulatory region where the unit is sold. The default setting is at channel 11.
Encryption WEP Key:
Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption
method specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to
interpret by unauthorized parties.
To enable WEP Encryption, you should decide which WEP key format will be applied first. Click the ASCII or
HEX check box to select input format as ASCII format or HEX format, and then input WEP key. To confirm the
WEP key, you must enter the data once again in the Confirm WEP Key field.
ASCII input format:
ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value. All unaccented upper- and
lower-case Western European characters that can be input through your keyboard's typing zone are valid. To setup
64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters, for example, ‘12345’. To setup 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII
characters, for example, ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively;
the IP Security Cam will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
HEX input format:
Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16)
notation. Only the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F (in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup 64-bit
WEP key, input 10 HEX format, for example, ‘3132333435’, this is the same with ASCII input ‘12345’. To setup
128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format, for example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’, this is the same with
ASCII input ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the IP
Security Cam will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
On the Confirm WEP Key field, input the same characters as the Encryption Code field.
Make sure the Encryption Code is the same with the access point’s encryption code that the IP Security Cam is to
be connected under Infrastructure mode. Your PC/Notebook’s encryption code also needs to be setup the same
with the IP Security Cam's encryption code under either Infrastructure mode or Ad-hoc mode.
The default setting for the Encryption Key is Disable therefore, to secure the wireless transmission be sure to
Enable the Encryption Key by entering the relevant data.
Carefully input Encryption Code, any error setting will cause communication link to fail.
LED Control:
The LED control allows user to setup the LED illumination as desired. This feature provides the flexibility when
surveillance activity is ON.
There are three options as follows:
Normal –
Power - Steady On of the LED indicator.
