1 Introduction

The network camera supports the network service for a sensor image with progressive scan, which
can be monitored on a real-time screen regardless of distances and locations. By using its
dedicated program, many users are able to have an access to the network camera at once or a
single user can monitor various network cameras at the same time. It also enables users to play,
store and retrieve a monitoring image by using a PC. All the settings and real-time monitoring
screens are also provided through an access to the web.

The network camera is fully featured for security surveillance and remote monitoring needs. It is
based on the DSP compression chip, and makes it available on the network as real-time, full frame
rate Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams.

2.5. Network Connection & IP assignment

The camera supports the operation through the network. When a camera is first connected to the
network, it is necessary to allocate an IP address to the device with the SmartManager utility on
the CD. (Default IP 192.168.30.220)

1) Connect the network camera/device to the network and power up.

2) Start SmartManager utility (Start > All programs > SmartManager > SmartManager).
The main window will display, and after a short while any network devices connected to the
network will be displayed in the list.

3) Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. You can see the pop-up menu
as below.

4) Select Assign IP Address. The Assign IP window will display. Enter the required IP address.

NOTE: For more information, refer to the SmartManager User’s Manual.

１０

3 Operation

The network camera can be used with Windows operating system and browsers. The
recommended browsers are Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome with
Windows.

NOTE: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX

controls.

3.1 Access from a browser

1. Start a browser (Internet Explorer).

2. Enter the IP address or host name of the network camera in the Location/Address field of your
browser.

3. You can see a starting page. Click Live View, Playback, or Setup to enter web page.

4. The network cameras Live View page appears in your browser.

１１

3.2 Access from the internet

Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the
network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data
traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT traversal feature, which will attempt to
automatically configure the router to allow access to the network camera. This is enabled from
Setup > System > Network > NAT. For more information, please see “System > Network > NAT” of
User’s Manual.

3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure connection

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user must be set. This is
done in the Admin Password dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is accessed for
the setup at the first time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the administrator.

NOTE: The default administrator user name and password is admin. If the password is lost, the

network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. Please see Resetting to the
factory default settings.

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via an
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see NOTE below). To set the
password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown below. To set
the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, please see “System > Security > HTTPS” of
User’s Manual.

NOTE: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic

between web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted
exchange of information.

System Requirement for Web Browser

• Operating System: Microsoft Windows OS Series

• CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz or higher, 1GB RAM or more, 10GB free disk or higher

• VGA: AGP, Video RAM 32MB or higher (1024x768, 24bpp or higher)

General Performance Considerations

When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will
affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can
affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will
also affect the frame rate.

The following factors are among the most important to consider:

• High image resolutions and/or lower compression levels (or high bitrates) result in larger
images. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.

• Accessing both Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate and
bandwidth affected.

• Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.

• Heavy network utilization via wireless router due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and

bandwidth affected.

• Viewing on poorly performing client PCs lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.
