at once and unplug the power cable, and then please contact the service center.

Cautions

● Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the

camera.

● Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.

Network Bullet Camera·Quick Start Guide

● Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is

necessary, use clean cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, please replace the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt.

● Do not aim the camera at the sun or extra bright places.

Blooming or smearing may occur otherwise (which is not a malfunction), and affect the endurance of sensor at the same time.

● The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any

laser equipment is in using, make sure that the surface of sensor will not be exposed to the laser beam.

● Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold (the operating

temperature shall be-30°C ~+60°C, or -40°C ~ +60°C if the

camera model has an “H” in its suffix), dusty or damp locations,

and do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.

● To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for

operating environment.

● Keep the camera away from liquid while in use.

● While in delivery, the camera shall be packed in its original

packing, or packing of the same texture.

● Regular part replacement: a few parts (e.g. electrolytic

capacitor) of the equipment shall be replaced regularly according to their average enduring time. The average time varies because of differences between operating environment and using history, so regular checking is recommended for all the users. Please contact with your dealer for more details.

Network Bullet Camera·Quick Start Guide

● Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in

hazard of explosion. Replace with the same or equivalent type only. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

Purpose:

This section explains how to connect the network camera to the WAN with a static IP or a dynamic IP.

2.2.1 Static IP Connection

Before you start:

Please apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP address, you can connect the network camera via a router or connect it to the WAN directly.

 Connecting the network camera via a router

Steps:

1. Connect the network camera to the router.

User Manual of Network Camera

2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2

for detailed IP address configuration of the network camera.

3. Save the static IP in the router.

4. Set port mapping, e.g., 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary

according to the different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.

Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.

5. Visit the network camera through a web browser or the client software over the

internet.

Figure 2-10 Accessing the Camera through Router with Static IP

 Connecting the network camera with static IP directly

You can also save the static IP in the camera and directly connect it to the internet without using a router. Refer to Section 2.1.2 for detailed IP address configuration of the network camera.

Figure 2-11 Accessing the Camera with Static IP Directly

2.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection

Before you start:

Please apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect the network camera to a modem or a router.

 Connecting the network camera via a router

Steps:

User Manual of Network Camera

5. Enter the key to connect the wireless network. The key should be that of the

wireless network connection you set on the router.

Wireless Connection in Ad-hoc Mode

If you choose the Ad-hoc mode, you don’t need to connect the wireless camera via a router. The scenario is the same as you connect the camera and the PC directly with a network cable.

Steps:

1. Choose Ad-hoc mode.

Figure 4-3 Wi-Fi Setting- Ad-hoc

2. Customize a SSID for the camera.

3. Choose the Security Mode of the wireless connection.

4.2 Easy Wi-Fi Connection with WPS function

Purpose:

The setting of the wireless network connection is never easy. To avoid the complex setting of the wireless connection you can enable the WPS function.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) refers to the easy configuration of the encrypted connection between the device and the wireless router. The WPS makes it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases. There are two modes of the WPS connection, the PBC mode and the PIN mode.

Note: If you enable the WPS function, you do not need to configure the parameters

such as the encryption type and you don’t need to know the key of the wireless

connection.

Steps:

Figure 4-10 Wi-Fi Settings - WPS

PBC Mode: PBC refers to the Push-Button-Configuration, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual or virtual one (as the button on the configuration interface of the IE browser), on both the Access Point (and a registrar of the network) and the new wireless client device.

1. Check the checkbox of to enable WPS.

User Manual of Network Camera

2. Choose the connection mode as PBC.

Note: Support of this mode is mandatory for both the Access Points and the

connecting devices.

3. Check on the Wi-Fi router to see if there is a WPS button. If yes push the button and you can see the indicator near the button start flashing, which means the WPS function of the router is enabled. For detailed operation, please see the user guide of the router.

4. Push the WPS button to enable the function on the camera. If there is not a WPS button on the camera, you can also click the virtual button to enable the PBC function on the web interface.

5. Click Connect button.

When the PBC mode is both enabled in the router and the camera, the camera and the wireless network is connected automatically.

PIN Mode:

The PIN mode requires a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to be read from either a sticker or the display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be entered to connect the network, usually the Access Point of the network.

Steps:

1. Choose a wireless connection on the list and the SSID is shown.

User Manual of Network Camera

Figure 4-11 Wi-Fi Settings – WPS PIN Mode

2. Choose Use route PIN code. If the PIN code is generated from the router side, you should enter the PIN code you get from the router side in the Router PIN code field.

3. Click Connect. Or You can generate the PIN code on the camera side. And the expired time for the PIN code is 120 seconds.

1. Click Generate.

2. Enter the code to the router, in the example, enter 48167581 to the router.

sub-stream:

Video Type: Select the stream type to video stream, or video & audio composite stream. The audio signal will be recorded only when the Video Type is Video & Audio. Resolution: Select the resolution of the video output. Bitrate Type: Select the bitrate type to constant or variable. Video Quality: When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality are selectable.

Frame Rate:

Set the frame rate to 1/16~25 fps. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at

User Manual of Network Camera

which the video stream is updated and it is measured by frames per second (fps). A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout. Max. Bitrate: Set the max. bitrate to 32~16384 Kbps. The higher value corresponds to the higher video quality, but the higher bandwidth is required.

Note: The maximum limit of the max. bitrate value varies according to different

camera platforms. For some certain cameras, the maximum limit is 8192Kbps or 12288Kbps. Video Encoding: If the Stream Type is set to main stream: H.264 and MPEG4 are selectable; if the stream type is set to sub stream or third stream, H.264, MJPEG, and MPEG4 are selectable.

Note: The video encoding type varies according to different camera platforms. For

some certain cameras, H.265 is supported while MPEG4 is not.

Profile:
