SECURITY

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the IPCam SECURE300 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 IPCam SECURE300 supports multi-level password protection and access to the IPCam SECURE300 is strictly restricted to define the user who has a "User Name" and "User Password" that is assigned by the Administrator.

Administrator can release a public user name and password so when remote users access the IPCam SECURE300 they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the IPCam SECURE300.

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 IPCam SECURE300. Once the ID and Password are defined, only the administrator has the access to management the IPCam SECURE300. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features with

19

the IPCam SECURE300 will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.

SOFTWARE

INSTALLATION

This section describes the Software installation procedure of the IPCam SECURE300 for Web Configuration and IPView SE application.

Web Configuration

The IPCam SECURE300 must be configured through its built-in Web-based Configuration.

Extensive knowledge of LAN will be helpful in setting up the IPCam SECURE300

From the web browser, enter the default IP address to access the Welcome screen of the IPCam SECURE300. To configure your IPCam SECURE300, type http://192.168.0.20 in the address box.

21

The number is the default IP address of your IPCam SECURE300. Then, press [Enter].

Note:

The PC’s IP address must correspond with the IPCam SECURE300’s IP address in the same segment for the two devices to communicate. Therefore, if your PC’s IP address doesn’t not correspond with the IPCam SECURE300’s IP address, you MUST modify your PC’s IP address at first.

22

Main Menu Image

After the default IP address is entered from the browser, the IPCam SECURE300 Welcome screen will appear with a still image. There will be three options to choose from to set-up and view your IPCam SECURE300, including:

Click “Home” to return to Welcome Screen

Camera Name:

This field is used to enter a descriptive name for the device.

The default setting for the Camera Name is CS-xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digit of the MAC Address. The maximum length is 32 (Printable ASCII).

Location:

This field is used to enter a descriptive name for the location used by the IPCam SECURE300.

Admin:

This field is used to enter the Administrator ID along with the password to access the System Administration settings. Be sure to enter the password twice to confirm the details once in the Admin Password field and again in the Confirm Password field.

The default setting for Admin is blank space (Null String), and you need to key in the Admin ID with a maximum length of 12 (Printable ASCII) characters and enter the Admin Password with a maximum length of 8 (Printable ASCII) characters.

It is highly recommended to set the Admin ID and Admin Password as soon as possible to enable security option for the IPCam SECURE300 to function.

IP Assignment:

Important Information

Access to the IPCam SECURE300 is done through assigning a proper IP address. Please make sure to use a vacant IP address when you assign the IP address for the IPCam SECURE300. This will prevent errors from occurring if the IP address is overlapped.

27

There are two options to select from the IP Assignment:

Manually Assign or Assign Automatically Using.

Manually Assign

You can click “Manually Assign” and directly enter the IP address.

The default settings are as follows:

Default IP – 192.168.0.20

Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0

Assign Automatically Using

If your network is using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server, you can click “Assign Automatically Using” and then click

“RARP”, “BOOTP” or “DHCP”. Under this setting the IPCam SECURE300 will automatically assign an IP address from RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server. Every time when the camera starts up, please make sure that the DHCP server is set to assign a static IP address to your camera.

If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the IPCam SECURE300’s RJ-45 LAN port, and you also have an ISP PPPoE account, click “PPPoE” option and enter the Service Name, User ID and Password into the respective fields. The IPCam SECURE300 will get an IP address from the ISP as starting up.

28

DNS IP Address:

DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Enter at least one DNS IP Address.

Dynamic DNS:

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the domains, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.

LED Control:

The LED control allows user to setup the LED illumination as desired. This feature provides the flexibility when surveillance activity is ON.

There are three options as follows:

zNormal –

Power - Steady On of the LED indicator.

Link - Steady On of the LED indicator. When LAN activity is present the LED indicator will flash steadily.

zOFF –

Power - LED indicator is off

Link – LED indicator is off

zDummy –

Power - Steady On of the LED indicator.

Link - Steady On of the LED indicator with random flashing.

The default setting for the LED control is at Normal. When you have configured the LED control, the correct illumination will be set after 1 minute.
