1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ High Speed Dome Indoor/Outdoor Network Camera, Model 550260 (NTSC) or Model 550277 (PAL). The ideal solution for your demanding security surveillance and remote monitoring applications, the High Speed Dome Indoor/Outdoor Network Camera can be used for day or night viewing, and comes in a rugged tamper-proof enclosure for protection against dust and heavy jets of water, complete with a heater and blower to keep it within proper operating temperatures.
The camera uses a Sony Super HAD CCD image sensor, providing TV-like quality in bright or low light conditions, capturing color video in light conditions down to
0.0007 lux. It supports both Motion JPEG and MPEG4 video compression, allowing you to use the right one for your particular needs. Motion JPEG is required as evidence in many countries, whereas MPEG4 is a lot more efficient in the use of network bandwidth and disk storage space.
As rugged as it is, the camera provides a precision-engineered 360˚-per-second pan operation that can be configured to patrol (continuous panning) using the preset function. It includes integrated motion detection that automatically disengages to prevent false alarms, and a “grid setup” function typically available only with video recording software.
Follow the instructions and procedures in this user manual — including the safety and legal guidelines that follow — and enjoy the benefits of these additional popular features.

CONFIGURATION
Device Name Enter the device name for the camera. The camera shows up in your network under this name. The name also shows up in your DHCP server log, should you decide to set the network address to “Dynamic IP Address” (see below).
Network Address The IP address of the camera can be set automatically via DHCP — in which the camera receives its IP address information from a DHCP server in your network (e.g., a router) — or it can be set manually. NOTE: Setting the IP address manually requires familiarity with TCP/IP networks.
IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway Configuration
If using a fixed (“static”) IP address, you need to enter the correct subnet mask and default gateway. If you have trouble configuring network system information, contact your network administrator. NOTE: IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to a situation in which the IP address changes and you lose contact. Configure the options (see Service Configuration below) to receive notification from the network camera when the IP address changes.
DNS Configuration DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of hostnames of IP addresses on your network.
Primary DNS: Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. Secondary DNS: Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server (optional).
10
CONFIGURATION
11
Web, Video, Upgrade and PTZ Server Port Configuration Enter the port number for each server port within a limit. Normally, it is not necessary to make any changes to the port settings.
Service Configuration
The camera can send you an email whenever the IP address of the camera changes (e.g., when you have set up a dynamic IP address for the camera). Click on “Settings…” to open a window, which lets you specify the email address. NOTE: In order to use this function, the SMTP server needs to be set up first (see Event Config/Event Server). If you use a domain name as the SMTP server (e.g., smtp.mydomain.com), you also need to set up correct DNS servers (see above). If the server is entered with the IP address only, no DNS servers are required.
Click ”Save” to submit the Network settings to the camera.
Dynamic DNS
Your Internet service provider (ISP) provides you with at least one public IP address. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes depends on your ISP. If your IP address changes periodically, you want to use the DDNS service (a free service offered at http://www.dyndns.org) to obtain a static address for your dynamic IP address.
Use this page to configure Dynamic DNS settings.
Service Use
Check the “Enable” box when you use Dynamic DNS server. IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway Configuration
Dynamic DNS URL: Enter the IP address or URL (leave as www.dyndns.org).
