Chapter One: Product introduction

1.1 Product summary

The IP cameras can be applied as a part of a safety surveillance network. With the professional
network video surveillance software it achieves the strong network communication ability and
telecommunication ability. And IPC can individually work also.

The series DVR is designed specially for security and defense field which is an outstanding digital
surveillance product. It introduces embedded LINUX operating system which is more stable. It introduces
standard H.264mp video compressed format and G.711A audio compressed format which insures the
high quality image, low error coding ratio and single frame playing. It introduces TCP/IP network
technology which achieves the strong network communication ability and telecommunication ability.

It is applied to all kinds of occasion that need network remote monitoring, such as:

 ATM, Bank counter, supermarket, factory, etc.

 Foster care center, kingdom garden, school, etc.

 Intelligent gate control system.

 Intelligent building and residential manage system

 Unattended system like: Generating plant, telecom base station

 Outdoor device to monitor bridge, tunnel, block transportation status

 Production line and warehouse control.

 24-hour monitor for road transportation.

 Remote monitor for forest, water source and river.

 Airport, train station, bus stop, etc.

Chapter Two: Open case checking and cable connection

2.1 Open case checking

When you receive this product,

Firstly, check model No. on product is the same as what you ordered；

Then, check if there is obvious damage on packing; the protective material used for packing can

afford most unexpected strike during transportation；

Finally, please take out IPC and remove the protective covers to check if there is obvious damage.

2.2 TF card installation

Remark: Please check if the model you bought whether support TF card

For primary use, firstly please install TF card, one TF card, to keep normal function, TF card is
required with minimum 4G and maximum 32G.

Part of IPC such as robot type can insert TF card directly from outside case, other IPC that support

TF card, need to open the case and find TF card slot to insert it.

2.3 Installation on brace

The IPC is using the standard case, so it can be installed to a standard brace.

Installation steps and attentions：

1、make sure the temperature is between -14oF~140oF ，humidity is less than 90%；

2、brace installed stable and firmly；

3、outdoor installation please pay attention to the severe weather；

4、when installing multi-device on the same line, please take protective measure to avoid over load

of the line.

2.4 Video output connection

2.4.1 choose and connect video output device

1.BNC output：

BNC video output is divided into: PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0V

P-P

，75Ω)，can be connected to monitor or

surveillance integrated equipment such as DVR, etc.

BNC output can support preview of the monitor image only.

Make sure the stable and reliable of transmission link：

The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen by the
transmission distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair, video
compensation equipment and transmit by fiber to insure the signal quality.

The video signal line should be away from the electro magnetic Interference and other equipments
signal lines. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.

Insure the connection stable and credible

The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which avoid false and joint
welding and oxidation.

2. Network output：

Connect to LAN and WAN via common standard, using the PC that is in the same LAN line with IPC by
software or IE browser to set parameters, real-time preview, remote playback and download, etc.

When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.:

1、do not make it running for a long time, in order to extend the using life of device.

2、regularly degauss to keep monitor normally work.

3、Keep away from device with severe electromagnetic interface.

TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and
control the power supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The
creepage of low quality TV can lead to the damage of other equipments.

Chapter Three: IE log-in basic operation

Remark: keys in grey means do not support

3.1 Boot

Connect to power, then IPC is auto boot.
Remark：1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the DVR power supply.

2. Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz.

Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions.

3.2 Reboot

Reboot IPC is divided into soft reboot and hard reboot. Soft switch please enter【Devicecfg】>
【Advanced】 choose【reboot】； Hard reboot, to cut off power and reconnect it to reboot device

Illustrate：

If IPC happens with abnormal shut down when it is under recording, after reboot, it will

auto-save the record info before shutdown and restore to status before shutdown.
2、Change TF card
When change TF card, please cut off power supply firstly.
3、Change battery
IPC is using button cell battery, need regularly check system time, if time is not accurate, then

need to change battery. Suggest to change it once a year by professional maintainer and using
the same model of battery.

D1/HD1/CIF/QCIF encode, one low bit rate stream(QCIF encode) for net transmission, in order to
maintain local storage and remote net transfer. Dual stream both considering to image quality and
transmission quality under the current band bottleneck, and can breakthrough it, base on the bandwidth
to flexibly choose stream format, to reach local high definition storage and low stream for net
transmission back end.

Remark：Main application of extra stream: to do multi-channel real-time monitor, and mobile monitor
when the network if poor.
