Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once, and Power LED begins to flash.
Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed continuously for three seconds or when Power LED begins to light up. Release the reset button and the Power LED will begin to flash, indicating the Wireless Internet Camera is changing to factory reset. When factory reset is completed, the Wireless Internet Camera will be set to default on channel 11 and SSID is set as “NULL String” (This default setting will let the Wireless Internet Camera connect to ANY access point on the infrastructure network). The IP address will also return to the default setting as 192.168.0.20.
4. DC Power Connector
The DC power input connector is located on the Wireless Internet Camera’s rear panel, and is labeled DC5V with a single jack socket to supply power to the Wireless Internet Camera. Power will be generated when the power supply is connected to a wall outlet.

INSTALLATION
Attaching the Camera to the Stand
The Wireless Internet Camera comes with a camera stand (optional) with a swivel ball screw head that can be attached to the Wireless Internet Camera's bottom screw hole. Attach the camera stand to the Wireless Internet Camera and station it for your application. There are three holes located in the base of the camera stand allowing the Wireless Internet Camera to be mounted on the ceiling or any wall securely.
16
Connecting the Ethernet cable
Connect an Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the Wireless Internet Camera’s rear panel, and then attach it to the network.
Attaching the Power Supply
Attach the external power supply to the DC power input connector located on Wireless Internet Camera’s rear panel, and then connect it to your local power supply.
TIP: You can confirm power source is supplied from the LED indicators label Power on the Wireless Internet Camera is illuminated.

SECURITY
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the Wireless Internet Camera the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System Administration for settings and control requirements to allow users the level of entry and authorize the privileges for all users. The Wireless Internet Camera supports multi-level password protection and access to the Wireless Internet Camera is strictly restricted to defined the user who has a “User Name” and “User Password” that is assigned by the Administrator.
The administrator can release a public user name and password so when remote users access the Wireless Internet Came ra they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the Wireless Internet Camera.
NOTE: Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly recommended to set the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" when you are the first time to use the Wireless Internet Camera. Once the ID and Password are defined, only the administrator has the access to management the Wireless Internet Camera. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features with the Wireless Internet Camera will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.
