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

80
Page 82
Q: What algorithm is used to compress the digital image?
A: The IPCam SECURE300 utilizes the JPEG image
compression technology providing high quality images for users.
JPEG is adopted since it is a standard for image compression and
can be applied to various web browser and application software
without the need to install extra software.
IPCam SECURE300 Installation
Q: Can the IPCam SECURE300 be used out-doors?
A: The IPCam SECURE300 is not weatherproof. It needs to be
equipped with a weatherproof case to be used outdoors and it is
not recommended.
Q: What network cabling is required for the IPCam SECURE300?
A: The IPCam SECURE300 uses Category 5 UTP cable
allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking.
Q: Can the IPCam SECURE300 be setup as a PC-cam on the
computer?
A: No, the IPCam SECURE300 is an IPCam SECURE300 used
only on Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network and supported by
transmission.
Q: Can the IPCam SECURE300 be connected on the network if
it consists of only private IP addresses?
A: The IPCam SECURE300 can be connected to LAN with
private IP addresses.
Q: Can the IPCam SECURE300 be installed and work if a
firewall exists on the network?
81
Page 83
A: If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for
ordinary data communication. However, since the IPCam
SECURE300 transmits image data, the default port 8481 is also
required. Therefore, it is necessary to open port 8481 of the
network for remote users to access the IPCam SECURE300.
82
Page 84
B PING Your IP Address
The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine
whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to
the specific address and waiting for a reply. It can also provide a
very useful tool to confirm if the IP address conflicts with the
IPCam SECURE300 over the network.
Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING
command. However, you must disconnect the IPCam
SECURE300 from the network first.
Start a DOS window.
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the IPCam
SECURE300.
The succeeding replies as illustrated below will provide useful
explanation to the cause of the problem with the IPCam
SECURE300 IP address.
83
Page 85
C Trouble Shooting
Q: I cannot access the IPCam SECURE300 from a web browser.
A1: The possible cause might be the IP Address for the IPCam
SECURE300 is already being used by another device. To correct
the possible problem, you need to first disconnect the IPCam
SECURE300 from the network. Then run the PING utility
(follow the instructions in Appendix B - PING Your IP Address).
A2: Another possible reason is the IP Address is located on a
different subnet. To fix the problem, run the PING utility (follow
the instructions in Appendix B - PING Your IP Address). If the
utility returns “no response” or similar, the finding is probably
correct, then you should proceed as follows:-
In Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT, double check the IP
Address of the IPCam SECURE300 is within the same subnet as
your workstation.
Click “Start”, “Setting”, “Control Panel”, and the “Network” icon.
Select TCP/IP from the “Network” dialog box and from the
“TCP/IP Properties” dialog box click “Specify an IP address”.
If the IPCam SECURE300 is situated on a different subnet than
your workstation, you will not be able to set the IP address from
this workstation. To verify make sure the first 3 sections of the IP
address of the IPCam SECURE300 corresponds to the first 3
sections of the workstation. Therefore the IP address of the
IPCam SECURE300 must be set from a workstation on the same
subnet.
84
Page 86
A3: Other possible problems might be due to the network cable.
Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface of
the product by connecting a local computer to the unit, utilizing a
standard Crossover (hub to hub) Cable. If the problem is not
solved the IPCam SECURE300 might be faulty.
Q: Why does the Power LED not light up constantly?
A: The power supply used might be at fault. Confirm that you
are using the provided power supply DC 5V for the IPCam
SECURE300 and verify that the power supply is well connected.
Q: Why does the Link LED not light up properly?
A1: There might be a problem with the network cable. To
confirm that the cables are working, PING the address of a know
device on the network. If the cabling is OK and your network is
reachable, you should receive a reply similar to the following
(…bytes = 32 time = 2 ms).
A2: The network device utilized by the IPCam SECURE300 is
not functioning properly such as hubs or switches. Confirm the
power for the devices are well connected and functioning.
Q: Why does the IPCam SECURE300 work locally but not
externally?
A1: Might be caused from the firewall protection. Need to check
the Internet firewall with your system administrator.
A2: The default router setting might be a possible reason. Need
to double check if the configuration of the default router settings
is required.
85
Page 87
Q: Why does a series of broad vertical white line appears
through out the image?
A: A likely issue is that the CMOS sensor becomes overloaded
when the light source is too bright such as direct exposure to
sunlight or halogen light. You need to reposition the IPCam
SECURE300 into a more shaded area immediately as this will
damage the CMOS sensor.
Q: There is bad focus on the IPCam SECURE300, what should
be done?
A1: The focus might not be correctly adjusted for the line of
sight. You need to adjust the IPCam SECURE300 focus
manually as described in Adjust IPCam SECURE300 Focus.
A2: There is no adaptor fitted with your C-type lens. If you have
previously changed the supplied CS-type lens, you may have
unintentionally installed a C-type lens without fitting the adaptor
first.
Q: Noisy images occur how can I solve the problem?
A1: The video images might be noisy if the IPCam SECURE300
is used is a very low light environment. To solve this issue you
need more lighting.
A2: There might be transmission interference make sure there
are no other devices on the network that will affect the
transmission.
Q: There is poor image quality, how can I improve the image?
A1: A probable cause might be the incorrect display properties
configuration for your desktop. You need to open the Display
86
Page 88
Properties on your desktop and configure your display to show at
least 65’000 colors for example at least 16-bit.
Note:
Applying only 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce
dithering artifacts in the image.
A2: The configuration on the IPCam SECURE300 image display
is incorrect. Through the Web Configuration Image section you
need to adjust the image related parameter for improve images
such as brightness, contrast, hue and light frequency. Please refer
to the Web Configuration section for detail information.
Q: There are no images available through the web browser?
A: The ActiveX might be disabled. If you are viewing the
images from Internet Explorer make sure ActiveX has been
enabled in the Internet Options menu. Alternatively, you can use
the Java Applet for viewing the required images.
