This section describes the features and benefits of the IPCam
SECURE300
Simple To Use
The IPCam SECURE300 is a standalone system with built-in
CPU requiring no special hardware or software such as PC frame
grabber cards. The IPCam SECURE300 supports both ActiveX
mode (for Internet Explorer users) and Java mode (for Internet
Explorer and Netscape Navigator users). Therefore, all that is
required is a web browser software such as Internet Explorer 5.0
or above or Netscape 6.0 or above. Just plug and view the picture
from your IPCam SECURE300 with a valid IP Address.
7
Support Variety of Platforms
The IPCam SECURE300 supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP email, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, and can be
utilized in a mixed operating system environment such as
Windows, Unix, and Mac. It can be integrated easily into other
www/Intranet applications.
Web Configuration
Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure
and manage the IPCam SECURE300 directly from its own web
page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 64 users name and
password are permitted with privilege setting controlled by the
administrator.
Remote Utility
The powerful IPView SE application assigns the administrator
with a pre-defined user ID and password, allowing the
administrator to modify the IPCam SECURE300 settings from
the remote site via Intranet or Internet. When new firmware is
available, you can also upgrade remotely over the network for
added convenience. Users are also allowed to monitor the image,
and take snapshots.

Broad Range of Applications
With today’s high-speed Internet services, the IPCam
SECURE300 can provide the ideal solution for live video images
over the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. The IPCam
SECURE300 allows remote access from a web browser for live
image viewing and allows administrator to manage and control
the IPCam SECURE300 anywhere and any time in the world.
Apply the IPCam SECURE300 to monitor various objects and
places such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-care centers,
amusement parks and other varieties of industrial and public
monitoring. The IPCam SECURE300 can also be used for
intruder detection; in addition, it can capture still images for
archiving and many more applications.

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
20
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

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

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:
27
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.
28
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.
29
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:
z Normal –
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.
z OFF –
Power - LED indicator is off
Link – LED indicator is off
z Dummy –
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.
