2. I/O Control Instruction
I/O terminal connector – used in application, for e.g., motion detection, event triggering, alarm
notifications. It provides the interface to:
 Digital Input (GND+Alarm) : An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between

an open and closed circuit, for

1. GND (Ground) : Initial state is LOW

2. Alarm : Max. 50mA, DC 3.3V
Example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is
received the state changes and the input becomes active.

 Relay output (COM +N.O.) / (COM+N.C.) : An output to Relay switch, for example: LEDs,

Sirens, etc

1. N.C. (Normally Close): Max. 1A, 24VDC or 0.5A, 125VAC

2. COM: (Common)

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Set up the IP camera through Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a technology that integrates power
into a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an
IP camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power
outlets at the camera locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.

[Note] 802.3af, 15.4W PoE Switch is recommended.

IP Assignment

There are two ways to find IP Camera:

− Finding IP Camera by using “NXU Lite recording software”

− Finding IP Camera by using “IP installer”

Finding IP Camera by using “NXU Lite recording software”

1. The NXU Lite software is in the attached software CD. Before launching it, please install the
software first. During the installing process, users will be required to input a User name and
Password for login NXU Lite system. Users can define the User name and Password as wishes.
Please refer to NXU Lite user manual for detailed installation instruction.

2. To run the application, double-click on your PC desktop or click Start > Programs > DVR >
NXU Lite. For security purpose, some of the features would require you to enter User name and
Password before it can be accessed. When the Authorization dialog box appears, key in your User
ID and Password. (If this is the first time, enter the one you have registered when installing the
software.

Click it to call out virtual
keyboard.

10

3. Click “Setup” button.

4. Click “Add IPCam” button.

5. Select “IP Camera” item.

11

6. Key in IP Camera’s ID and Password (default is admin/admin) and click “Auto Search” to find
camera.

7. In Search Result window, click it the IP camera model that user has purchased (Please ignore
ONVIF connection item); the camera is in red text that is configurable. User can double-click on
the camera is in red text and configure the IP camera’s setting; even the IP camera is not in the
same IP segment. Press “OK” to back to previous screen and press”Connect” to start live view.

Double-click the IP camera mode
that user has purchased (ex:
SF2012H-B, SF2012H-DV).

Please ignore ONVIF
protocol selection; NXU Lite
doesn’t support ONVIF
connection.

12

Finding IP Camera by using “IP installer”

Use the software, “IP Installer” to assign the IP address of the IP camera. The software is in the
attached software CD.
IP installer supports two languages

 IPInstallerCht.exe: Traditional Chinese version
 IPInstallerEng.exe: English version

There are 3 kinds of IP configuration.

 Fixed IP (Public IP or Virtual IP)
 DHCP (Dynamic IP)
 DHCP server/router network automatically assigns IP addresses to devices. You can use the

IP Installer software in the CD to search for the IP camera(s) in the network.

 Dial-up (PPPoE)
Execute IP Installer
For Windows® XP (SP2) users, the following message box may appear. Please click “Unblock”.

13

IP Installer configuration:

IP Installer will search all IP cameras connected on the LAN. The user can click “Search Device”
to search again.
Click one of the IP cameras listed on the left side. The network configuration for this IP camera will
show on the right side. You may change the name of the IP camera to your preference (eg: Office,
warehouse) in “Name” on the right side.

Using DHCP Server/Router Network

To use DHCP, please check DHCP and click “Submit” then click “OK”. It will apply the change and
reboot the Device.

14

Using NON-DHCP Server/Router Network

In Non-DHCP server/router network, the static IP address must be assigned to the device each time
when adding another IP camera to the network; the default IP address of the current one must be
changed to avoid conflict.

Please make sure the Subnet of the PC’s IP address and the IP camera’s IP address are the same.

[Example]

The same Subnet:

IP camera IP address: 192.168.1.200
PC IP address: 192.168.1.100

Different Subnets:

IP camera IP address: 192.168.2.200
PC IP address: 192.168.1.100

To Change PC IP Address:

Control PanelNetwork ConnectionsLocal Area Connection PropertiesInternet Protocol
(TCP/IP) Properties
Please make sure your IP camera and PC have the same Subnet. If not, please change IP
camera subnet or PC IP subnet accordingly.

PC’s IP address:

15

IP camera IP addresses:

i. A quick way to access remote monitoring is to left-click the mouse twice on a selected IP camera in

“Device lists” in IP Installer. Upon doing so, the Internet Explorer browser should open.

16

ii. Then, please key in the default “User name” and “Password”, both of which are “admin”.
