Thanks again for choosing this DDNS-Free Outdoor IP Camera. The IC-9000 is designed

with the User-friendly concept. You can install the IP Camera easily on your home network

and then access the IP Camera anywhere in the world with the video management utility.

No need to set complicated DNS name or change the router configuration. It just a plug &

play.

Besides, with the low light sensitive sensor and IR LEDs inside the IP66-rated water proof

housing, the IC-9000 can satisfy all security and indoor/outdoor surveillance needs even in

the dim environment or bad weather condition. What’s more, with the automatic ICR (IR

Cutter Remover), the infrared light is filtered out during the day time and is allowed to pass

during the night time. This ensures the video color quality is excellent compared with other

IP cameras.

Following figure is the running window of the CamView program. If the computer and the

IC-9000 is connected to the same network, the ID of the IC-9000 will be displayed in the

“Auto Search” list. If you have more than 1 piece of the IC-9000, you can double click the

“Auto Search” to search all the connected the IC-9000s any time. The only thing left right

now for seeing the video is to double click the IP CAM ID item in the “Auto Search” list. For

example, if the IP CAM ID is 001-001-029, you can then double click the 001001029 item in

the “Auto Search” list to view the video. A window asking for password input will pop up.

Please key-in the password in your ID/Password card into this field and click “Ok”. The

video will then be displayed on the window.

Note: You can modify this play-video password by entering into the web configuration

pages. Please refer to section 3-7 for more information.

Notice: You can also add the IP CAM into the CameraList in the CamView software to have

more convenient video display, please refer to the user manual of the CamView software

for more functions.

2-2 Seeing the Video in a Remote Location

After the IC-9000 is installed and you can see the video from the CamView software in the

local network, it’s very easy to see the video in a remote location. All you need to do is add

a camera item in the “CameraList” 16folder of the CamView software, key in the ID and

Password of the IC-9000 (from the ID/Password card). And then double click this camera

item. You will then see the Camera video immediately. No further NAT/router setting

modifications are needed.

Chapter III Start Using Web Configuration Page

You can login into the web configuration page by directly key-in the IP address of the IP

CAM or right-click the searched IP CAM in the “Auto Search”17list of the CamView software

and click the “Web Configure” to open the login window of the IP CAM.

The default login account is “admin”, leave the Password field empty.

3-1 Information

The first page of the web configuration of the IP CAM is the information page. You can see

the model name/firmware version, IP CAM ID, registration status, network type and current

video settings (bandwidth & resolution) in this page.

The IP CAM can be viewed remotely by the CamView software only when the IP CAM is

registered. If this IP CAM is not registered, please check the Ethernet wiring of your

network environment. The “Network type” 18field displays the network connection (wired or

wireless) and method (DHCP, PPPoE or static ip) the IP CAM is running. The “Video users”

18field displays the number of connected video viewing users.

3-2 Video Display

This display page allows you to view the video display of the IP camera. For the first time

use of this display on a computer, an activeX component will be automatically downloaded

into the browser. This could take some time, depends on the internet speed. The

component is downloaded from a public domain, so that the computer must be connected

to the Internet.

If you want to modify the video display screen size, please refer to section 3-7 for more

details.

3-3 Network

The Network page allows you to modify the network settings of the wired Ethernet. The

default settings use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically. In most of the home and

office network environment, there is a DHCP server running. In this situation, by using this

default settings, the IP CAM can work immediately in most of the time.

If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the IP CAM will lose connection. But as soon as the

Ethernet cable is plugged in again, the IP CAM will obtain a new IP address immediately.

If the network environment does not support DHCP function, you will need to set the

network settings of the IP CAM manually. Please fill all the fields including “IP address”20,

“Subnet mask”, “Default gateway”20and “DNS server”20 to let the network work. All these

settings must be correct for your network environment, otherwise the IP CAM cannot work.

The default setting is “obtain an IP address automatically”.

3-4 Advanced Network

In some special situation, your network environment only provides PPPoE connection

(ADSL service), there is no NAT/router available. You will then need to set the PPPoE

settings in the “Advanced Network”22page. Only the PPPoE username and password are

needed to let PPPoE work. After the ”Save&Apply” button is pressed, the PPPoE function

will work immediately. You can check the ”Registration status” in the “Information” page to

see if the IP CAM is registered using the PPPoE connection.

Please be noticed that the DHCP or static IP settings in the “Network”22page can work

together with the PPPoE connection. Only that the PPPoE has higher priority, so, if the

PPPoE is working, the IP CAM will use PPPoE to connect to the Internet.

The default setting is ”Disable PPPoE”.

3-5 Video Settings

The IP CAM is designed to provide high quality video for viewing from CamView software.

In this page, you can modify some settings related to the video viewing:

1. Password (play video) - This is the password needed for viewing the video from the

CamView software. Together with the IP CAM ID, you can view the video of this IP CAM

anywhere in the world through the Internet.

2. Internet speed - This is the Internet bandwidth of your network environment. Higher

value will generate higher video quality. But if your internet connection cannot provide

more bandwidth than the specified value, the video quality could degrade. So, please

key in a value that is lower than your internet bandwidth.

3. Select resolution & frame rate automatically - You can let the system select the suitable

video resolution and frame rate automatically for you. The selection is based on the

“Internet speed” value. This is the recommended default setting.

4. Resolution - There are three choices: 160x120, 320x240 and 640x480. If you decide to

choose the value manually, you can choose one of the three values. But, please be

noticed that if the Internet speed is slow (low value), high resolution (640x480) or frame

rate could cause very bad video quality.

5. Frame rate - The video frame display rate. Higher value means faster movement and

continuity in the video display.

6. Favor/Preference - Choose between “Video motion” and “Image quality”. When the real

bandwidth is not enough for the selected “Internet speed”, the system will need to

degrade the video motion or image quality. This selection will decide if the user want to

maintain the “Video motion” or “Image quality” when the internet speed is not good

enough.

7. Brightness - The brightness of the video, lower value means darker display.

8. Sharpness - The sharpness of the video, higher value means sharper video.

9. Low light sensitivity - The low light sensitivity could be normal, high or very high. When

the low light sensitivity is high, the system could see better video clearance under low

light situation, but the moving object will not be very clear under this low light

environment. Under very dark environment, set to “very high” will get better video

clearance. The default value of this setting is “high”.

10. Video color - Choose between “colored” and “black&white”.

11. Outdoor/Indoor video - For better video display quality, modify this setting when taking

indoor or outdoor video. The default setting is “Outdoor video”, in most cases, this is

also ok for indoor usage. Under some special cases, there could be some strip lines on

the video display when the IP camera is taking indoor video. In this situation, change the

setting to “Indoor video” will solve the problem. Please also be noticed that in “Indoor

video” setting, the video display of outdoor view is very vague. For indoor usage, if there

is strong sun light into the room, please select the “Indoor+sun light” choice.

12. Enable/disable time display on video - If enabled, the date/time of the system will be

displayed on the left-upper corner of the video.

When this modification is “Save&Apply”, it works immediately, but all the connected

video viewing users will be disconnected.

3-6 3GPP/RTSP Settings

The IP CAM is able to be viewed from a 3G mobile phone, for detailed settings on the 3G

mobile phone, please refer to Appendix F.

Users can disable the 3G mobile access ability in this page. After the 3GPP/RTSP feature

is disabled, no 3G mobile phone is allowed to access the video of the IP camera. When this

is disabled, the rtsp stream with MPEG2 audio is still working, please refer to Appendix F

for more details about rtsp stream with MPEG2 audio.

When the 3GPP is enabled, the video frame rate, resolution and bandwidth for 3G mobile

access could be set independently from the video settings for CamView(PC) access. The

maximum allowed resolution is 352x255 and maximum allowed bandwidth is 256 kbps.

The “Access URL” line is the url address for 3G mobile phone to input for seeing the video

of the IP camera. Different 3G mobile may need to input this url in different way, detailed

information could be found in the user manual of different 3G mobiles. Please be noticed

that usually public IP address is needed for the IP camera, so that the 3G mobile could

access the IP camera’s video.

The default setting is “Enable 3GPP/RTSP”.

3-7 Night Mode Control

The IP Cam is able to work both in day time and night time. There are some IR LEDs that

can let the IP camera see the objects in the night time. Users can adjust the numbers of the

IR LEDs according to the view sight distance during night mode to get the best night mode

vision. The night mode status is also displayed.

This night mode control page is to control when the time the IR LEDs will be on. There are

three ways to control the night mode ( IR LEDs ) :

1. Automatic day and night mode switch: the IP cam will automatically turn on the IR LEDs

when the night time is arrived or the environment is becoming dark. There is a light

sensor on the IP cam that is doing this light detection.

2. Scheduled time of night mode: the IP Cam can also be scheduled to turn on the IR

LEDs in a time range of each day.

3. Manual night mode control: the IP Cam can be manually forced to night mode( IR LEDs

on ) or day mode( IR LEDs off ).

In order to get better video color display during day time and night time, there is an ICR(IR

Cutter Remover) in the IP Cam. This ICR will be controlled automatically to filter out the

IR(Infrared) light during the day time and allow the IR light to pass during the night time.

This make sure the video color quality is excellent compared to other IP camera.

3-8 Email/FTP Alarm

The IP CAM provides the Email/ftp function, you can enable or schedule the Email/ftp

ability in this page, the IP CAM will then send out an email with a jpeg picture attached in

the email and/or send out the jpeg picture file to a ftp server. The related settings are

explained below:

1. Email/FTP trigger – choose between “motion”, “D/I”, “schedule” and “disable”

A. If “motion” is selected, it means that when there is a motion detected, the system

will send out the email and/or ftp with the captured video snapshot.

B. If “D/I” is selected, it means that when there is a Digital input alarm detected, the

system will send out the email and/or ftp with the captured video snapshot. If the

D/I alarm is constantly on, the IP camera will keep sending out email/ftp message

every second for up to 30 seconds.

C. If “schedule” is selected, it means that the email/ftp alarm detection and triggering

will be scheduled by the “scheduling” in section 3.9.

D. “disable” will disable the email/ftp alarm.

2. Motion sensitivity – there are three possible choices in this field.

“High” means high sensitivity, i.e., the detection is triggered by a very small movement

in the video image. If “High” is selected and the size of the moving object is larger than

about 1% of the whole video area, it is detected. Please be noticed that the real size of

the object could be large or small, anyway, the detection is only based on the relative

size of the object. Probably a small pencil moving near the IP CAM could be detected,

but a moving car far away from the IP CAM could not be detected.

“Low” means low sensitivity, i.e., the detection is triggered by a very large movement. If

the size of the moving object is larger than about 10% of the whole video area, it is

detected. “Median” means 3% to trigger the detection.

3. Send email message – if this item is enabled, the IP CAM will send out an email

message with the jpeg picture attached to the specified email account.

4. Email recipient – this is the email address to receive the detection notice message. An

email message with the jpeg picture file named by the date/time of the triggered

moment will reach this address.

5. SMTP server – this is the SMTP server that will help to transfer the email message. This

server is irrelevant to the “Email recipient” address.

6. SMTP username/password – this is the account to use the SMTP server to transfer the

email message. The SMTP server and username/password account are only for

transfer the email message to the “Email recipient”, the “Email recipient” could be on

another email server or any reachable email address. The username and password

fields could be left empty if no authentication is needed for the SMTP server.

7. SMTP server test – after the settings are filled, you could press “SMTP server test” to

check if all the settings are correct.

8. Send FTP message – if this item is enabled, the IP CAM will send out a jpeg picture file

to the specified ftp account.

9. FTP server – this is the FTP server address to receive the jpeg file.

10. FTP username/password – this is the username/password to login into the FTP server,

so, this triggered jpeg file will be allowed to reach this FTP server.

3-9 DI/DO Settings

The IP camera provides DI alarm detection function. The related settings are explained

below:

1. Digital input – can select the normal status of the digital input as either open circuit or

closed circuit. The current status is also displayed. An active status could trigger the

email/ftp or the NAS/SD card recording by setting the scheduling.

3-10 NAS Settings

The IP Camera provides the recording of the video files into a standard NAS (Network

Access Storage) device. The IP camera connects to the NAS device using the standard

LMX_NS/CIFS/SSN protocols that are the same as the Microsoft Windows network

neighborhood protocols. This makes the IP camera easily record the video files to some of

the standard NAS devices* in the market. Since there are a lot of different choices,

including prices and scales, users can decide by themselves which is best for their needs.

By using this function, the standard NAS device is becoming a NVR (Network Video

Recorder) device.

Notice: when the IP camera is doing NAS recording, this is counted as one video user.

Please refer to appendix B about allowed maximum video users.

Notice: *For the NAS compatible list, please check www.edimax.com

1. If the “Always Recording” is selected, the system will start to record to the NAS storage

device immediately and keep recording always. If the “Schedule Recording” is selected,

the system will do the NAS recording according to the “scheduling” in section 3-11.

“Disable Recording” will disable this NAS recording.

2. When doing the NAS recording, the system will check the free disk space of the NAS

device. If the free disk space is less than the specified number, the system will do

“Circular recording” (overwrite the oldest recorded files of this ip camera in the NAS

device) or “Stop recording” as selected. If the “keep recorded video for xx days” is

selected, the system will do circular recording and over write the recorded video files

older than xx days ago.

The IP camera can connect to the NAS device by using the “NAS name” or “NAS IP

address”. If the NAS device and the IP camera are in the same local area network, the

IP camera can automatically locate and connect to the NAS device by the “NAS name”.

If the NAS device uses a fixed IP address (either in the local area network or in the

public internet), the IP camera can connect to it by the “NAS IP address”

The “Shared folder name” is the folder in the NAS device that will record the video files

of the IP camera.

5. The “NAS access account” and “NAS access password” are the username and

password to login into the specified “Shared folder name” of the NAS device.
