1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

The iCanView232 is a state-of-the-art network camera which transmits synchronized video and
audio data in real time with D1 resolution at full frame rate. This is possible through MPEG4 CODEC
technology, which provides high quality video with highly compressed data streams. The
iCanView232 can be connected, controlled and monitored from a remote location through an IP
connection over internet or intranet. Unlike CCTV or DVR, the iCanView232 is easy to install and
owner will experience cost and space savings in the installation owing to the state of the art
technologies embedded in the system. Based on Embedded Software Solution (Embedded Web
Server, Embedded Streaming Server, Network Protocol), the iCanView232 ensures unprecedented
performance and stability to be an ideal network camera solution for system integration solutions.
To facilitate single cable installation, iCanView232 are offered with standard PoE option (IEEE

802.3af).

2.5 Quick Installation Guide

Brief information for rapid installation is provided in this section. For more detailed information you
are recommended to refer to pertinent documentations provided with the product or refer to
iCanTek’s home page (http://www.icantek.com)

1. Connect iCanView232 to LAN by using one of the following method

1) If your iCanView232 has standard PoE option, connect the network camera and PC as
illustrated in Figure 2.4. Both power and network connections are made with a single LAN
cable. Make sure that you are using hub supporting standard PoE (802.3af).

2) If your iCanView232 does not support standard PoE or you don’t have hub supporting
standard PoE, connect iCanView232 as in Figure 2.5. The DC power is applied through AC
adaptor.

2) If you have standard power connect the network camera and PC as illustrated in Figure

2.6.

each device must have a unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. You
must also configure your IP sharing device for “port forwarding”. This is to enable the IP sharing
device to forward packet data with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to unique internal IP
address (local IP address). If you only plan to access multiple units from within a local area
