Installation

In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the IP Camera, and
"Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the IP Camera and grant user
access to the camera.

Hardware installation

Please verify that your product package contains all the accessories listed in the
foregoing Package Contents. Depending on the user’s application, an Ethernet cable
may be needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the specs of UTP Category 5 and not
exceed 100 meters in length.

Connect the power adapter jack to the IP Camera before plugging in to the

power socket. This will reduce the risk of accidental electric shock.

Upon powering up, the status LED will become lighted first and then the device will go
through booting process. The status LED will be steady orange for getting IP address.
After getting IP Address, the LED will blink orange and red as heartbeat to indicate
alive.

- 6 -

To install in Ethernet

Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the
Ethernet cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to blink orange-color, go
to next paragraph “Software installation”.

This IP Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one
digital output device control. The pin definition is as below.

1: Power
2: Digital output
3: Digital input
4: Ground

Ext./Int.

Switch “Internal” or “Microphone” to set up the source of audio input

Software installation

At the end of the hardware installation, users can use Installation Wizard program
included in the product CDROM to find the location of the IP Camera. There may be
many IP Cameras in the local network. Users can differentiate the IP Cameras with the
serial number. The serial number is printed on the labels on the carton and the
bottom of the IP Camera body. Please refer to the Quick installation guide of
Installation Wizard for details.

Once installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the next
section "Initial Access to the IP Camera" for necessary checks and
configurations.

- 7 -

Initial Access to the IP Camera

Check Network Settings

The IP Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software
installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the
network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP
address of gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service
provider for the detail information. By default the IP Camera requires the Administrator
to run installation every time it reboots. If the network settings are to remain
unchanged, disable the Install option. Refer to “Network settings” on the System
Configuration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and cannot proceed
to setting up the IP Camera, restore the factory settings following the steps in the
“Troubleshooting” chapter of the Appendix.

Add Password to prevent Unauthorized Access

The default Administrator’s password is blank and the IP Camera initially will not ask for
any password. The Administrator should immediately implement a new
password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s
password is saved, the IP Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before
each access. The Administrator can set up a maximum of twenty ( 20) u ser a ccounts.
Each user can access the IP Camera except to perform system configuration. Some
critical functions are exclusive for the Administrator , such as system configur ation, user
administration, and software upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is
permanently assigned as “root”. Once the password is changed, the browser will
display an authentication window to ask for the new password. Once the password is

set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The only
option is to restore to the original factory default settings.

- 8 -

How to Use

A PC with Windows operating system can use the Internet Explorer to connect to the IP
Camera. A plug-in will be installed into the IE when it is connected for the first time. A
PC with Linux operating system can connect to the camera using a browser like Firefox.
It needs to install QuickTime first to view streaming.

Authentication

After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of the IP Camera, a dialogue
window pops up to request a username and password. Upon successful authentication,
the following figure is displayed.

The foreground is the login window and the background shows the message if
authentication fails. The user may check the option box to save the password for future
convenience. This option is not available to the Administrator for obvious reason.

- 9 -

Installing plug-in

For the initial access to the IP Camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt for
permission to install a new plug-in for the IP Camera on the Internet Explorer.
Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user’s PC or
notebook. If the highest security level is set, the computer may prohibit any installation
and execution attempt. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to
display the video in the browser. Users may click on

to proceed. If the w eb
browser does not allow the user to continue to install, check the Internet security
option and lower the security levels or contact your IT or networking su pervisor for
help.

Client settings

1.

2.

3.

4.

There are four settings for the client side in IE.

1. The first one is “Stream Options” for users to determine which stream to be

streaming. This product supports dual-stream. Therefore, there are two streams to
choose.

2. The second one is “MPEG-4 Media Options” for users to determine which media to

be streaming under MPEG-4 mode.

3. The third one is “MPEG-4 Protocol Options” which allows choices on connection

protocol between client and server. There are four protocols choices to optimize
your usage – UDP unicast, UDP multicast, TCP and HTTP.

z The UDP unicast protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams.

However, some packets may be lost due to network bu rst traffic and images

- 16 -

may be obscured.

z The UDP multicast protocol allows to save the ba ndwidth of server while

serving multiple clients at the same time.

z The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate

video display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is
worse than that with the UDP protocol.

z The HTTP protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and the user don’t

need to open specific port to streaming under some network environment.
If no special need is required, UDP unicast protocol is recommended. Generally
speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP multicast → UDP unicast →
TCP → HTTP. After the IP Camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Option” will
indicate the selected protocol. The selected protoco l will be recorded in the user' s PC
and will be used for the next connection. If the network environment is changed, or the
user wants to let the web browser to detect again, manually select the UDP protocol,
save, and return HOME to re-connect.

4. The fourth one is “Save Options” . User can specify the recording folder, file name

prefix and suffix here.

- 17 -

There is only one setting “Stream Options” for the client side in Firefox. User can
choose to view stream1 and stream2.

<url> http://<IP Camera>/clientset.html <IP Camera> is the domain name or the
original IP address of the IP Camera.

Digital output

Click on “ON” , the digital output of the IP Camera will be triggered. Or , clicking on “OFF”
can let the digital output turn into normal state.

- 18 -

Audio communication

The camera supports two-way audio communication so that operators can transmit
and receive audio simultaneously. By using the camera’s built-in microphone and an
external speaker , you can communicate and give instructions to people at the camera’s
location.
Please note that as JPEG only transmits a series of JPEG images to the client, to make

- 19 -

use of this function, make sure the video mode is set to “MPEG-4” and the media option
is set to “Video and Audio”.

Click

to enable audio transmission to the camera; click to adjust the volume

of microphone; click

to turn off the audio. To stop talking, click again.

Audio is being transmitted
to the camera.

Administrator’s capability

Fine-tuning for Best Performance

Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best
video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The three factors,
“Maximum frame rate”, “Constant bit rate”, and “Fixed quality” for MPEG-4 mode and
“Maximum frame rate” and “Fixed quality” for JPEG mode on the Audio and Video
Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance
possible.

- 20 -

For Best Real-time Video Images

T o achiev e good real-time visual eff ect, the network bandwidth should be large enough
to allow a transmission rate of greater than 20 image frames per second. If the
broadband network is over 1 Mbps, set the “Constant bit rate” to 1000Kbps or
1200Kbps, or set “Fixed quality” at the highest quality . The maximum frame rate is 30.
If your network bandwidth is more than 512Kbps, you can adjust the bit rate according
to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate to 30 fps. If the images vary
dramatically in your environment, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate
down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better
video quality and the human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between those

- 21 -

of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second. If yo ur network bandwidth is below 512 Kbps, set
the “Constant bit rate” according to your bandwidth and try to get the best
performance by fine-tuning with the “Maximum frame rate” . In a slow network, greater
frame rate results in blur images. Video quality performance will vary somewhat due to
the number of users viewing on the network; even when the parameters have initially
been finely tuned. Performance will also suffer due to poor connectivity because of the
network’s burst constraint.

Only Quality Images Will Do

To have the best video quality, you should set “Fixed quality” at “Detailed” or
“Excellent” and adjust the “Maximum frame rate” to match your network’s bandwidth.
If your network is slow and you receive “broken” pictures, go to the TCP or HTTP
protocol in “MPEG-4 Protocol Options” and choose a more appropriate mode of
transmission. The images may suffer a time delay due to a slower connection. The
delay will also increase with added number of users.

Somewhere Between Real-time and Clear Images

If you have a broadband network, set “Fixed quality” at “Good” or better, rather than
setting “Constant bit rate”. You can also fix the bandwidth according to your actual
network speed and adjust the frame rate. Start from 30 fps down for best results but
not below 15 fps. If the image qualities are not improved, select a lower bandwidth
setting.

Audio and Video

This product supports dual-stream. It provides two setting for video streams, but only
one setting for audio.

Video Settings

“Video title” The text string can be displayed on video
“Color” Select either for color or monochrome video display.
“Power line frequency” The fluorescent light will flash according to th e power line

frequency that depends on local utility. Change the frequency setting to eliminate
uncomfortable flash image when the light source is only fluorescent light.

“Video orientation”

z Flip: Vertically rotate the video.
z Mirror: Horizontally rotate the video. Check options both if the IP Camera is

installed upside down.

“White balance” Adjust the value for best color temperature.
“Maximum Exposure Time” Adjust the maximum exposure time in different

environment.

z Overlay title and time stamp on video: Check it the title is shown on video.

There are different video quality settings for stream1 and stream2.

z Mode: It can be MPEG-4 or JPEG. If MPEG-4 is selected, it is streamed in RTSP

protocol. If JPEG is selected, it is streamed in server push mode.

z Frame size: If the mode is MPEG-4, there are three options, “176x144”,

“320x240” and “640x480”. If the mode is JPEG, there are three options,
“176x144”, “320x240” and “640x480”.

There are three dependent parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode for video
performance adjustment.

“Intra frame period” The interval of intra frame.
“Maximum frame rate” This limits the maximal refresh frame rate, which can be
combined with the “Video quality” to optimize bandwidth utilization and video quality .

- 36 -

Choose “Constant bit rate” If the user wants to fix the bandwidth utilization
regardless of the video quality, choose “Fixed quality” and select the desired
bandwidth. The video quality may be poor due to the sending of maximal frame rate
within the limited bandwidth when images are moving rapidly . Consequently , to ensure
detailed video quality (quantization rate) regardless of the network, it will utilize more
bandwidth to send the maximal frames when images change drastically.
In JPEG mode, user can set “Maximum frame rate” and “Video quality” to adjust
the video performance.

Audio settings

“Mute” Turn off audio.
