1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
This user-friendly device combines cutting-edge sophistication with practical reliability and
convenience. It features the self-downloading automatic video codec and other components, and is
very easy to set up. You can access the network to get smooth images through the real-time and
synchronized audio / visual stream provided by the device, because it supports two compression
modes, the MJPEG and the MPEG4 -- you can change from one to the other as you wish. The
MPEG4 file format is a very small size file, so it can save more images over a longer time and can
be set extremely fast. The device also has a built-in website server providing many Internet
functions and protocols, including the MDIX protocol which recognizes both the normal and the
crossover cables, either of which can connect up with an Ipxcam.
We hope this device makes it easier for you to get your IP address information. This unit supports
the USB interface which helps you to very easily get an IP address to open the IE browser: now just
type in your IP address to the browser and you can access your Ipxcam.
The device can hopefully provide the advanced motion detection function to improve your network
surveillance with both the powerful and enhanced multi-zone and multi-sensitivity modes of
detection. We believe this unit is the right answer to all your network surveillance problems. Try it
and you'll see.
1.2 Product Features
◆ The installation of a Codec or execution file is not necessary. The Ipxcam will
automatically send the Codec or any component to a PC if the latter requires it.
◆ Supports two compression modes, the Motion - JPEG and the MPEG4. You can
change from one to another as you wish.
◆ The MPEG4 is a very small size file, so it can save more images over a longer time and
can be sent extremely fast.
◆ Real - time synchronization of the video and audio functions.
◆ No latency. The unit will directly power on and run.

3.5 Ipxcam SD card Troubleshooting
1. Check if the SD card position is correct or not. Please refer to the manual for the related
information.
2. After powering the Ipxcam on, correctly insert the SD card, and a little icon of "SD" will show up
in the upper-right corner of the monitor screen. If not, it means the device detection has failed.
Please contact your technical support and ignore the following steps.
3. If no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon, please go on to the next step. If a cross sign
appears, please check the following:
a. Is it really an SD "Memory" Card?
b. Is this SD card formatted in the FAT16 format?
c. Connect the SD card with a PC and test to see whether the PC can read the data or not.
d. Does this SD card still have the capacity for storing data?
e. Is the SD card set to write?
If all the answers are "yes" but the cross sign still persists, please contact your technical support
and ignore the following steps.
4. Please make sure the function of "SD CARD ENABLE" is activated in the ALARM and
SCHEDULE pages if no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon on the screen.
5. After recording, read the data on the web page of "sdget.htm". If the data cannot be read through
the network, please read it instead in a PC, check the data stored in the " IPXCAM " directory
and contact your technical support regardless of whether there is data or not.
WARNING:
1. Performing this troubleshooting process may need a monitor, a PC, a card reader and
some cables.
2. If the SD card is removed while storing or accessing data, the data will be lost.
3. If there is a cross sign beside the "SD" icon, it means the SD card has been inserted into
the Ipxcam but cannot perform its writing function. Possible reasons are:
a. It is not an SD memory card.
b. The SD card is unformatted or formatted in a non-FAT16 or non-FAT12 format.
c. The file system is damaged.
d. The capacity of the SD card is full.
e. The SD card is set to be read only.
4. Turn off the power before inserting the SD card. Otherwise the unit may shut down.

4.2 Configure Your Ipxcam Network Settings
Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network function and
configure the proper network settings of the Ipxcam.
4.2.1 Enable DHCP Function
This function can only work if the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. If the
DHCP server is working, please move the dip switch points up to 3 on the flank panel; now the
Ipxcam will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In that case, please skip
section 4.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 4.3 (TCP/IP Communication Software).
4.2.2 Set IP Address
You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.
Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:
Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The following is a sample setting.
IP: 192.168.1.X
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the Ipxcam is connected to a computer or LAN, you can
freely assign an IP address for the Ipxcam. For example, there is a range of
Ipxcam IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use
from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the
settings as default.
When an Ipxcam is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent
IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according
to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings,
please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected Ipxcam must be assigned a
17
Page 20
unique IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP
addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,
192.168.1.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for
example, the first three sets of numbers of the Ipxcam IP address must be the
same as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B,
the first two sets of numbers of the Ipxcam IP address must be the same as the
network address. If you have any questions regarding these settings, please
consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.

APPENDIX 3. –The ARP function
Setting the IP Address
The Ethernet interface on the Ipxcam has a default IP address (192.168.1.168) that most likely
needs to be changed to make it work on your local network. You need to acquire a unique IP
address (ask your network administrator). For the initial setting of the IP address the Ipxcam needs
to be connected to the same network segment as your client, and the IP address can then be
configured by using a combination of ARP and ping command.
Use any of the following ways to set the IP address within thirty seconds after booting the Ipxcam
(re-cycle the power). Setting IP using the method below can only be done on the Ethernet interface.
ARP and ping from Windows or MS-DOS:
The user can open the PC's MS
th
e PC's Command Prompt windows from either the WINDOWS 2000 or the WINDOWS XP
o
peration system.
1.
Start a DOS prompt window
2. Type the following in 30 seconds after the
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
[or arp -s <IP address> < MAC address>]
ping <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 192.168.1.100 00-0C-0C-00-00-01
ping 192.168.1.100
The IP address now is: 192.168.1.100.
-DOS windows from the WINDOWS 98 operation system, or open
booting:

Page 100
ARP and ping from UNIX or GNU/Linux:
1. Start a shell
2. Type the following as superuser (root):
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
[or arp -s <IP address> < MAC address>]
ping <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 192.168.1.100 00-0C-0C-00-00-01
ping 192.168.1.100
The device responds to the ping in the examples above if the new address was configured. Note,
this method will set the IP address permanently.
Note: The default account and password after the reset are root and Admin.
