1: Product Overview

1.1 Network Cameras

Network cameras are closed-circu it television (CCTV) camer a s that use the
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to transmit image data over an Ethernet or Wireless
LAN connection. As such, network cameras are also referred to as IP cameras.
IP cameras are primarily used for surveillance applications. A number of IP
cameras are normally deployed together with a digital video recorder (DVR) or
a network video recorder (NVR) to form a video surveillance system. Since
network cameras are equipped with an operating system, they do not require
the presence of a DVR or NVR in order to function. In addition, a network
camera can transmit data in a local network as well as over the Internet.
Access to a network camera is typically achieved with a standard Web browser,
such as MS Internet Explorer or Firefox.

4: Installation

4.1 Connecting to the Camera

Connect the RJ45 network cable from the camera’s LAN port to your network;
e.g., the router or a LAN switch, then power on the camera. The boot sequence
will take about one minute. Yo u will need to use the camera’s po wer adapter, or
you can connect the RJ45 cable to a PoE- enabled switch or injector to power
the camera.

By default, the network camera (or video server) searches for a DHCP server
on the network and obtains an IP address automatically. A very common DHCP
server is a router, a device that is found on most networks.

The presence of a DHCP server on your network simplifies the installation and
users with limited knowledge of TCP/IP networks can ins tall the network
camera in minutes. If no DHCP server is found, the network camera will revert
to its default IP address 192.168.1.221.

On Windows systems, you want to use th e IP Installer utility that finds the
camera on the network and lets you mak e changes to the configuration.

Once the camera is set up properly, it can be accessed with the computer’s
Web browser. The following sections describe the procedure for Windows,
MacOS and Linux users.

- 11 -

4.1.1 Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7

Insert the Installatio n CD into the CD or DVD-Drive.
After a few moments, the CD will automatically start

IP Installer for Windows

When the program starts, you are presented with the screen shown below.
Depending on your camera model, the screen may look slightly different, but
the functionality is the same. The IP Installer utility lists all cameras that can be
found on your network. With this utility you can make changes to the
configuration, perform a firmware upgrade, restore the camera to factory
default values, and reboot the camera. Note: It may take up to three minutes
for IP Installer to show a camera that has been recently (re-)started.

The application has three main tabs: Camera, User and About.

Camera tab

UPnP device list: All cameras that are found on the network are displayed on

this tab. Cameras that are shown in red are currently
configured for a different network and cannot be accessed
with the Web browser before the IP settings of the camera
have been adjusted to your network (see Setup).

Search: The Search button can be used to refresh the view. Typically
it is not required to push the button, as the utility starts

scanning the network as soon as it is star ted.

Link to IE: Select the camera from the list and click this button to open

the camera with MS Internet Explorer. Note: This function
does not work for other Web browsers; however, you can
open the browser manually and open the URL
http://camera_ip_as_shown_in_list (in the example above,
you would open http://192.168.0.102).

- 16 -

Setup: Select a camera from the list and click the Setup button in

order to open the camera configuration dialog.

Upgrade: Select a camera from the list and click the Upgrade button if

you wish to upgrade the firmware of the camera. The
firmware upgrade can also be performed with your Web
browser.

Factory default: If you want to reset the camera settings to factory default

values, you can select a camera from the device list and click
this button. When you do this, yo u will be asked to enter the
administrator user name and password:

Enter “admin” for both.
You will then see the following message:

Click Yes to perform the factory reset.

Reboot: This function lets you reboot the camera. The procedure is

identical to the factory default function, except the camera
does not lose the settings.

Camera Tab – Setup Function

When you click on the Setup button, you first need to enter a valid
administrator user name and password (see above). You will then be presented
with the first page of the Setup menu. The first page shows some basic
information about the camera.
Click the Next button to open the next page.

- 17 -

User Account Settings Page

User Name: Enter the user name you wish to use for the new account.
Password: Enter the password for the new user account.
Confirm: Type the password in again.
Mode: There are three possible values to choos e from:

1. Admin: User has full access to all camera functions.

2. Operator: User can view the live image and change image
related settings such as brigh tness, contrast, etc.

3. Viewer: User can view the live video of the camera, but is
unable to make any changes to the configuration.

Viewer
Authentication: On: Every user that connects to the camera has to enter a
valid user name and password.

Off: A user name and password is only required if the user
wants to change camera-related settings. By setting the

Viewer authentication to off, you allow any user to view the
camera’s live image.

Click the Next button to open the next configuration page.

- 18 -

Date/Time Settings Page

The network camera is equipped with an internal clock. You can display the
current date and time information on the video, so that when you look at
recorded video material or images you can easily tell when the recording was
made. Before you can use this function, you need to define how the camera
obtains the time.

Current Setting: Displays the current date and time.
PC clock: Displays the time of the PC that you are using right now.
Adjust: Keep current setting – no changes are made.

Synchronize with PC – instructs the camera to retrieve the
current date and time from the PC.
Manual setting - allows you to set up the date and time
yourself.
Synchronize with NTP – The camera will obtain the time from
an NTP server. Normally it is not required to change the NTP
server, as the default server “pool.ntp.org” is always
available. You can, however, manually overwrite the NTP
server by un-checking the option “auto.”
Interval: Define how often the camera should re-synchronize
the time with the NTP server’s time.

Time Zone: Select the correct time zone for the ca mera to display the

correct date and time.

Click the Next button to open the next configuration page.

- 19 -

Network Settings Page

The default configuration is shown above, and for most users there should be
no need to change these settings. Advanced users can change the following
values:

HTTP Port: This is the Web server port of the camera. The default value

is 80. You can change the value from 80 to a value between
1024 and 65535. Note that when you change the HTTP port,
you need to append the new port to the address of the
camera; e.g., http://192.168.0.102:1024.

IP Address: By default the camera obtains the IP address from a DHCP

server in the network. You can set up the camera with a static
IP address as well by activating the option “Use the following
IP.” If you are not familiar with IP addresses in general or the
IP address setup of your network, you should contact your
network administrator for the correct values.

DNS Setting: A DNS Server (DNS stands for Domain Name System) allows

the camera to contact an e-mail, FTP or NTP server using its
proper domain name (e.g., mail.mydomain.com) rather than
its IP address. If you set up the camera with a static IP
address, chances are that you will need to provide the DNS
server settings yourself as well.

Click the Next button to open the next configuration page.

- 20 -

PPPoE Settings Page

This page allows defining of the PPPoE settings of the camera. This function is
not required for the vast majority of users, and if you are not planning on
connecting the camera directl y to a DSL modem (no network present, just the
camera connects directly to the modem) you can safely skip this page.

PPPoE is a common connection method for ADSL Internet services. It is n ot
required for cable modem service, or newer DSL services that operate with
dynamic IP addresses.

PPPoE connections require a user ID and password that are typically provided
by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If there is no router in your network,
and you connect the camera straight to the DSL modem, you need to enter the
user ID and password here, so that the camera can connect to the Internet.

Note: The camera does no t support idle timeout, meaning, it stays connected
to the Internet indefinitely. Users of time- or volume-based Internet services
need to be aware of this as the camera can cause significant usage charges for
the service. It is always a better option to have the router handle the PPPo E
connection to the Internet Service Provider, instead of the camera.

Click the Next button to open the next configuration page.

- 21 -

DDNS Settings Page

DDNS stands for “Dynamic DNS.” DDNS is useful for all users who have an
Internet service with a dynamic IP address. Most DSL services utilize IP
addresses that are highly dynamic and change as often as once every 24 hours.
Cable modem services typically keep the IP address assigned to a user for a
longer period of time; e.g., up to 30 days. In any case, after a certain amount
of time the IP address of your network will change unle ss you have a more
business-type Internet service that provides a permanent, static IP address.
Why does it matter if the IP address that the ISP as signs to you changes? If
you never want to access the camera remotely over the Internet, it wouldn’t
and you can skip this section.
If you want to connect to your camera from outside your network, the changing
IP addresses will make this task very complicated, as you never know under
which IP address you can reach your camera. D DNS is the solution to the
problem. Services lik e DYNDNS.ORG allow signing up for a free account and
setting up domain names like “mycamera.dyndns.org.” The DDNS service
assigns the current IP address that your ISP has assigned to you to the domain
name you have set up, so that you can always reach your camera at
http://mycamera.dyndns.org (example).
Note: We recommend using the DDNS client that is integrated in your router for
the DDNS service instead of the camera’s DDNS client.

The network camera supports three DDNS providers:
DYNDNS.ORG, DHS.ORG and TZO.ORG.
Server name: Select the service (e.g., DYNDNS.ORG)
User ID: Enter your DDNS user account password here.
Password: Enter the password of your DDNS account here.
Confirm: Repeat the DDNS account password here.
Hostname: Enter the dynamic host name (e.g ., “mycamera.dynsns.org”
here. Do not enter http://

Click the Next button to open the next configuration page.

- 22 -

Language Settings Page

The Intellinet network camera provides a multi-language user interface f or
Web-browser access. In order to use this function, you firs t need to install the
additional languages by uploading them to the camera. The default language is
English. Additional languages can be found on the Installation CD, or you can
download them from the Intellinet Web site at www.networkipcamera.com.

In order to install an addition al language, activate the option “Upload language
pack” and click Browse. Then select the folder where the language files are
located. The image below shows the available files.

Select the file of choice and cli ck Open to get back to the language settings
page. Note the file location has been entere d in the field in front of the Browse
button.

Click the Next button to open the final configurat ion page.

- 23 -

Apply Settings Page

This is the last page of the Setup.
All configuration changes you have made on the previous screens will be sav ed

when you click the Apply button. If you have selected an additional language to
be installed on the previous page, clicking Apply will install that language as
well.

After you click Apply, the main screen of IP Installer shows up, and after a
period of 60 to 180 seconds, the camera will show up in the UPnP dev ice list.
You may need to click the Search button to get the camera to show up again.

Camera tab – Upgrade function

The firmware is basically the operating system of the camera. New functions
are introduced from time to ti me, and compatibility patches and fixes are
released to make your Intellinet camera an even better product. A firmware
upgrade replaces the internal camera software with a new version.

Note: A failed firmware upgrade can render your camera inoperable.
Before you start with the firmware upgrade, ask yourself a few questions:

1. Has Technical Support instructed me to upgrade, or is my camera operating
erratically or do certain functions in the camera not work as they should?

2. Am I absolutely sure that I downloaded the correct firmware file for my
camera from the Intellinet Web site?

3. Can I be reasonably certain that the power will not go out during the next 10
minutes?

4. Are all unnecessary programs on my computer clo sed?

- 24 -

5. Will the battery in my notebook last for at least another 10 minutes?

6. Is the camera I want to upgrade located in my local network?

7. Am I sure about what I am doing?
If you answer any of these questions with “no,” you should not perform the

firmware upgrade and skip this section.

Select a network camera from the UPnP device list and click on Upgrade to
upgrade the firmware. As before, you have to key in the user name and
password of the administrator to enter the upgrade page. You wil l then see the
following screen:

Click on Browse and select the correct firmware file. The file must have the file
extension “.bin.” Click on Open to return to the firmware upgrade page. The
Upgrade button that was previously grayed out is now available.

Click the Upgrade button to begin the upgrade process. The upgrad e takes
place in several stages. The s creen informs you about the progress. At the end
of the upgrade the status indicate s “Rebooting” while the progress bar moves
from 0 to 100%.

Note: Do not leave this screen and do not close the program yet. Wait for the
status to display “Done” and when it does, click on “Previous” to go back to the
main screen. As before, it may take up to three minutes for the camera to re­appear.

- 25 -

User tab

This screen offers two functions:

1. You can change the individual settings of the camera in a similar fashio n as
with the Setup function on the main screen. However, instead of clicking on
Previous and Next to switch between the screens, you can access the individual
options more quickly by clicking on any of the tabs (User, Date/Time, TCP/IP,
PPPoE and DDNS). You cannot install additional languages with this function,
however.

2. You can load the camera configuration into the IP Installer utility, and the n
save it to your computer hard drive. This can be useful if you wish to create a
backup of the entire configuration in case you want to reload it at a later time.
You can also use this function to load a configuration previously saved on the
PC and load it back into the camera configuration.

To begin, select either “From PC File” or “From Device,” then click Load.
If you select “From PC File” you will be asked to specify the configuration file on
your computer hard drive.
If you select “From Device” a screen opens up that asks you to select the
camera and enter the administrator user name and password.

Once completed, the screen shows the configuration data, and you can make
changes to the settings as you see fit. When you are ready to submit the
settings to the camera, click on Apply. Select the camera from the device list,
enter the administrator user name and password and click OK. The camera
settings are now saved into the camera configuration.
If you want to create another backup of the configuratio n, click on Save and
enter a proper filename, such as “camera_1_config.conf,” before you click
Save.

4.1.2 MacOS

The installation on Apple systems running MacOS X does not involve the
Intellinet installation CD. T he Intellinet network camera supports Apple’s
Bonjour service.

Bonjour, formerly Rendezvous, is Apple Inc.'s
trade name for its implementation of Zeroconf, a
service discovery protocol. Bonjour locates
devices such as printers or network cameras, as
well as other computers, and the services that
those devices offer on a local network using
multicast Domain Name System service r ecords.
The software is built into Apple's Mac OS X
operating system from version 10.2 onward.

1. Open the Safari Web browser and open the Bookmarks toolbar, where you
will find the Bonjour link.

2. The Network Camera is shown in the category Webpages. In order to
connect to the camera, double-click t he circled link. Safari then connects to the
camera and the message below appears:

3. Type in “admin” for the user name and the password, then click on Log In.

Refer to Chapter 5 for explanations on the Web interface options of your
network camera.

4.1.3 Linux

The installation on Linux systems does not require any
special software. The network camera is compatible to
Web browsers such as Firefox and Konqueror.

The initial installation requires the setup of the
camera’s IP address. As the camera by default obtains
an IP address from a DHCP server in the network (e.g.,
a router), you can access the camera as soon as you
have obtained the IP address from the router’s DHCP
client log. Alternatively, you may use Bonjour
(mDNSResponder), which is also available for Linux.

If no DHCP server is connected to your network, the camera reverts to its
default IP address 192.168.1.221. In order to gain access to the camera, you
need to change the IP settings of your system manu ally. Set up the IP address
to be in range of 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx is not 221). Then open your Web
browser and connect to address http://192.168.1.221. Log in to the camera
and click on the Settings link to open the administrator menu. Refer to section

5.2 Settings Page for more details.

video. After you click on the magnification icon, a window appears as
an overlay on top of the image. See below.

You can drag the box over the image, and you can adjust the
magnification by moving the slider toward “T” (tele-zoom) or “W”
(wide-angle). The more you move the slider toward “T,” the further
you zoom in and details appear larger. It is normal behavior that the
image quality is reduced when using the digital zoom function.
Digital Zoom is only available in MS Internet Explorer Web browsers.

where you can view the live video.

Click on this button to open the administrator menu
page, which allows configuring the camera.

This button opens up the integrated online help providing
useful tips on the various features.

Returns the user to the main live video page.

Click this button and the client settings dialog will open.

Profile: Select your preferred profile from the drop-down
list. Your Intellinet n etwork camera can store different
profiles that provide different video settings. You can
define these profiles in the administrator menu, e.g, one
profile is for low bandwidth environment whereas another
pfofile is for maximum quality.

View Size: There are two choices here. “ Fi t Screen” will
keep the video small so that it will always fit into the
view port of the live video page. “Full Screen” is act ually
not full screen at all, but it displays the video stream at
it’s normal size. So, if you select a profile that displays
1080p contents and select full screen for the view size,
the video will be rendered at 1920 x 1080 pixels on your
screen.

Protocol: Select the transfer protocol here.
Video Buffer: If you turn video buffering on, the video

will display more smoothly at the expense of added delay
between the actions in front of the camera lens and when
you see them on the screen. If you want to minimize that
delay, you need to set the video buffer to “Off.”

5.2 Settings Page (Administrator Menu)

The camera’s administrator menu allows you to configure all aspects of your
Intellinet network camera.

This page provides a complete overview of the status of your network camera.
The page may be a little bit intimidating at first glance as a lot of information is
displayed, but once you get more familiar with your camera, these values will
start to make sense to you.

5.2.1 Basic Setup

The basic setup allows you to manage the user
accounts of your network camera, define the network
parameters, set up the date and ti me settings and
most importantly, the vid eo settings. This is a video
surveillance camera after all.

Account

The Intellinet network camera allows the creation of different user accounts
with different levels of access to the camera. There are three main user levels.
The Viewer account only allows viewing the live video page of the camera. The
Operator account allows viewing the live video as well as changing the image
setup settings, such as brightness, contrast, etc. Only the Administrator
account has full access to all camera settings, including the Settings menu.

You can define up to nine additional user accounts. The user name and
password must be between 4 and 16 characters in length. For each account you
can also specify the viewer mode (Administrator, Opera tor or Viewer).

Click the Add button to create a new
user account. A popup window will
open up. Here you type in a user name
and a password for the new account.
Also, you must define the role of the
new user account. The example shows
how we create a guest account that
only has viewing rights, but cannot
change any settings.

Click Save to create the new user account.

- 36 -

Highlight an account to either edit or remove it.
Note that the admin user account cannot be removed.

Anonymous Settings
Enabling this will allow any user to view the live video from the camera live
video page without entering a user name or password. If you do not want to
allow this to happen, be sure to set this option to “Disabl ed.”

- 37 -

Network - TCP/IP

On this page you can define the network settings of the camera. By default the
camera is set up to automatical ly obtain the necessary IP information from the
DHCP server (e.g., the router) in your network. You can, however, set up the IP
address and related settings manually.

MAC address:
MAC address stands for Media Access Control address. This is the unique
hardware address of the camera’s network interface.

Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP):
This is the default setting. In this mode the camera obtains the IP information
from the DHCP server in your network.

Use the following IP address:
Activate this option in order to assign a static IP address to the camera. You
need to enter a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway address in
the corresponding fields.

Use the following DNS server address:
When you disable DHCP, you also need to provide t he camera with valid DNS
settings. The Primary DNS server must be fill ed out. It is often the sa me IP
address as the Gateway address.

HTTP port number:
The default value is 80 and normally there is no need to change it. If you
decide to change the http port to a different value; e.g., 1024, you need to do
two things:

1. After saving the settings you need to reboot the camera via the System ->
Initialize menu.

2. After the reboot is completed you need to connect to the camera using the
URL http://camera_ip:portnumber.
PPPoE is the most common form of connection for DSL-based Internet service.

- 38 -

Network - PPPoE

You can use this function to conne ct the camera directly to a DSL modem. A
common application for this is where the network camera is installed in a
remote location where no network is present. In the location is a DSL Internet
connection (DSL modem), but no router or any other network infrastructure.
You can connect the camera to the DSL modem and enter your DSL acco unt
information in the fields below.

IP address: Displays the current IP address obtained from th e Internet

Service Provider (ISP). It displays 0.0.0.0 if the camera is not
connected to the Internet via PPPoE.

User ID: Enter the user ID for your DSL service here. The user ID has

been given to you by your ISP.

Password: The password for the DSL account goes here. Re-type the

password in the field below.

DNS Server:
Typically, your ISP will send DNS Server information to the camera when it
connects. Some ISPs, however, require entering specific DNS servers manually.
In that case you can activate the option “Use the following DNS server address”
and enter the primary and secondary DNS servers in the fields below (not
shown on the screen shot).

- 39 -

Date Time

On this page you can define the time settings of the camera.

Current date/time:
Displays the camera’s current time.

PC clock:
This is the date and time of the
computer you are currently using to
connect to the camera.

Date/Time format:
The format determines how the
date/time is displayed on the live
video.

Syncronization Method:
“Keep current setting” means that
you don’t want to change the date
and time.

“Synchronize with client PC” adjusts
the camera time to the time of your
PC. Be aware of the fact that this op tion sets the time only one time. From that
point forward, the camera time will start to differ from your PC time as time
progresses, and occasional re-synchronization wil l be necessary.

“Manual Setting” lets you manually ent er the time and date. As with the
previous option, the camera’s time will become inaccurate as time passes and
you will need to re-synchronize the time periodically.

“Synchronize with NTP”: This option is the recommended setting. In this mode,
the camera will synchronize its time settings based on the interval setti ng
(ranging from once per hour to once per day). The camera obtains the time
from the NTP server. You can use the default value unless your camera is not
connected to the Internet, o r if a firewall in your network blo ck s the outgoing
NTP request of the camera. Select “Manual” and you can enter a different NTP
server; e.g., a server in your local network.

Time zone:
Select the correct time zone for your location.

Daylight Saving Time:
You can define the range of Daylight Saving Time by activating this option. The
camera will adjust the time (move the clock forward or backward by one hour)
depending on the programmed start and end time. If your camera is not
equipped with this feature, you can adjust the time zone manually for Daylight
Saving Time.

Video – Video Settings

The following three menus (Video Settin gs, Profile and Day/Night) allowing
defining all video-related para meters. Note that the Day/Night option as well as
other parameters may not be available on all models.

Image Rotated:
Allows mirroring and rotating the image.

Video Clip Format:
Select which video profile the camera should be using for video clips it records
in a network storage device.

Snapshot Format:
Select the video profile used for snapshots (e.g., for JPG upload to a FTP
server).

Analog Video Output:
If your camera is equipped with an analog video output, you can activate or
deactivate it here.

Overlay:
Define what kind of an overlay you want for the live video.

Title:
A short name for the camera that can be used as an overlay.

- 41 -

Text Color:
Choose between black or white.

Background color:
Select from either black, white or transparent.

Display Position:
Define where the overlay should app ear on the live image.

Privacy masking is the ability of the camera to back out (censor) certain parts
of the live video.

Example 1: The camera is installed in
your home: e.g., overlooking your
driveway. In the background is the
neighbor’s house, which you have no
intention of monitoring. It would illegal in
some cases for you to do so. To resolve
this problem, you can activate a privacy
zone over your neighbor’s house.

Example 2: The camera is installed in
your company; for example, overlooking
the warehouse. In one corner of the
warehouse is the break room, where the
employees go for their lunch breaks. In
many countries it is not permitted to
monitor the workers during their break.
To comply with laws and regulations, you
can define a privacy mask in the break
area to ensure that this area is not being
monitored or recorded by the camera.

Click “Add” to create a new privacy mask.

- 42 -

As you can create multiple masks, you need to provide a name for the mask,
and you can define which color you want to overlay to be. Finally, set the status
to “Enabled” and click “Save” to create and activate the privacy mask.

->

Video – Profile

The Intellinet network camera allows the creation of video streaming profiles.
For each profile you can define the video resolution, the v iewing area and the
video codec that is to be used.

Click “Add” to create a new profile, “remove” to delete a profile or “Edit” to
modify an existing profile.

- 43 -

Encoding: Your Intellinet network camera can encode video in three different
formats. H.264 is the most advanced and efficient codec delivering excellent
image quality and a small video stream size at the same time. Normally, this is
your preferred choice. However, you can also select MPEG4 or MJPEG, e.g., for
compatibility reasons.

View Area: The camera allows you to creat e different viewing areas. Those are
defined in the Menu Live View -> Camera Setting -> View Setting. You can
assign one of those viewing areas to the profile.

Resolution: Here you define the video resolution for the profile. Wh ich choices
you have depend on your camera model. Some HD models offer image
resolutions of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels whereas standard definition cameras
are limited to 640 x 480 pixels.

- 44 -

Maximum frame rate: Type in the number of frames the camera should
generate per second of video. The higher the value, the s moother the video,
but the more bandwidth is going to be required. Valid entries are 1 to 30.

Quality: You can control the image quality of the video by selecting “Fixed
Quality” and defining the image quality by select ing one of the following values
“Medium,” “Standard,” “Good,” “Detailed” and “Exc ellent.” Or you can choose to
specify the bit rate of the video the camera must not exceed. In this mode the
camera varies the image quality automatically to not exceed the specified
maximum.

Video – Day/Night

Some Intellinet network cameras are equipped with active IR LEDs prov iding
the ability to capture video in complete darknes s. Note, that if your camera is
not equipped with IR LEDs, this menu will not be available. Also note that some
menu items will vary depending on your camera model.

Infrared cut-off filters are designed to reflect or block mid-infrared wavelengths
while passing visible light. They are often used in network video cameras to
block IR due to the high sensitivity of many camera sensors to near-infrared
light. With the filter in place before the image sensor, the camera wil l not be
able to pick up IR light, but it generates true color video. Once the IR cut filter
is removed, the camera becomes IR light sensitive and will generate a black
and white image – and it does that even in complete darkness if the IR LEDs
are active.

IR Cut Filter Mode:
“Auto” – The camera decides when to remove the IR cut filter based on the IR
Cut Filter Threshold you can specify. The switch delay ensures that the cam era
only switches the IR Cut Filter after the specified amount of time has passed.

“Day Mode” – In this mode the camera does not remove the IR Cut Filter from
the image sensor regardless of any other settings. Select the day mode if you
don’t want the Intellinet network camera to capture video in low l ight conditions
or darkness.

- 45 -

“Night Mode” – This is the opposite of the day mode. If th is mode is enabled,
the camera always removes the IR cut filter. As a result, the camera will always
be IR sensitive, regardless of the actual light levels. Using night mode in day
light conditions is not recomm ended as it leads to a poor image quality with
false and washed out colors.

“Schedule” – Select this option, if you wish t o control exactly when yo u want
the camera to engage the night mo de. You can use the internal scheduler to
define a time pattern for each day of the week, e.g., no night mode on the
weekends, but night mode from MON to FRI from 21.00 hours to 06.00 hours.
The scheduler is explained in detail later on.

IR Mode:
“Auto” – This ensures that the IR lights go on whenever the IR cut f il ter has
been removed.

“Active” – keeps the IR LEDs illuminated regardless of the state of the IR cut
filter. To ensure maximum lif e of the IR LEDs, this option shouldn’t be used,
unless your camera is installed in a dark environment which requires IR li ghting
at all times.

“Inactive” – When this is selected, the camera will never active its IR LEDs,
even if the night mode is enab led (the IR Cut Filter has been removed). If you
have your own 850nm IR lighting in place already, then you will not need to
use the camera’s integrated IR LEDs and can therefore turn the IR LEDs off.

IR Level (Spot/Wide):
Use this to control the lighting pattern of the IR LEDs. Some models allow you
to control the center of the image (“spot”) independently from the outer a r eas.
If you want a more evenly lit image, reduce the spot level close to 0 and set
the wide level to 100. If you want to focus on the center of the image instead of
its surroundings, you raise the spot value and lower the wide value.

- 46 -

5.2.2 Live View

The live view menu provides access to the video
settings, which are exactly the same as described in the
last section (5.2.1). It also provides access to advanced
image settings and allows configuring the view areas
that we discussed in the previous section. Note that depending on your camera
model, the options on the screen may differ from the screen shots in this user
manual.

Camera Settings – Image Settings

The image enhancement cont rols consist of standard video settings, which you
know from a great variety of products. Click on “Video” to see the camera live
video while you adjust the settings to your liking.

Color Tone: Choose between “Real,” “Cool” or “Warm”. Normal ly you want to
set this to “Real” as it provides the best represe ntation of natural colors.

Auto White Balance: This parameter controls how the camera interprets colors.
You can choose from the following values: “Auto,” “Fluorescent,”
“Incandescent,” “Sunny,” “Cloudy” or “Sun Shade.” You should select the value
that best represents the environment the camera is instal led in. You can also
leave the default value “Auto,” as it typically delivers very good results.

- 47 -

Exposure Frequency:
Current.”
If your camera is installed so that it’s facing outside, you should select “Auto.”
If your camera is installed indoors, you must select the appropriate light
frequency (either 50 or 60 Hz; e.g., in the US select 60 Hz, in Germany, Poland
or Italy select 50 Hz). The hold current option fixes the current exposure
settings.

Automatic Exposure: You can manua lly set the exposure value, which ranges
from 0-100 (dark to bright). The default value is 25 and typically provides good
results.

Exposure Time: You can define the minimum and maximum exposure time of
the camera’s shutter here. We recommend using the sma ll est exposure time
(e.g., 1/10000 sec) for the min value as it ensures the camera will generate
crisp images during day time conditions in which even moving objects appear
sharp and in focus. As for the max value, the bigger the value, the longer the
camera keeps the shutter open in low light conditions allowing more light to fall
onto the image sensor. As a result, the c a mera can capture images even in
very dark environments. The downside is that moving objects will appear
blurred as the move while the camera’s shutter is open.

Gain: The Intellinet camera is equipped with an electronic gain mechanism
which helps capture image in dark condi tions. The higher the gain, the brighter
the image, but the downside is tha t t he image contains more noise.

Low Light Behavior: When enabled, this opens allows additional control over the
camera when it is running in night mode.

Backlight Compensation (BLC): In images where a bright light source is behind
the subject of interest, the subject would normally appear in silhoue tte . BLC
allows the camera to adjust the exposure of the entire image to properly
expose the subject in the foreground. The resulting image may appear
overexposed in the background; however, the object of interest is now properly
lit.

There are four values: “Auto,” “50Hz,” “60Hz” and “Hold

- 48 -

Some Intellinet network cameras are equipped with a motorized iris. In optics,
an iris is a thin opaque structure with an opening (apertur e) at its center. The
role of the diaphragm is to stop the passage of light, except for the light
passing through the aperture. “Open” ensures that the iris stays always open,
regardless of the amount of light present. In situations where th e light levels
vary over time greatly (i.e. day time – night time – day time, etc.), using
“Auto” is the preferred choice.

WDR stands for Wide Dynamic Range and allows the Intellinet network camera
to capture video in areas with high contrasting objects; e.g., extremely bright
and extremely dark. In a normal camera, if an object in a darker area of the
image frame is next to a bright area — for example, a person in a shadow is
next to an area with bright sunlight — then the person in the shadow would be
very dark to the point of becoming indistinguishable from the background. The
human eye, by contrast, can handle these differences much better. With WDR,
the dynamic range of the camera is great ly enhanced. As a result, you can now
clearly see the person in the shadow while the rest of the frame is still cor r ectly
exposed, just as if it was seen through the human eye. Activate WD R by setting
it to “Auto” and then adjust the level that controls the amount of WDR
enhancement.

Your Intellinet camera features a noise reduction algorithm, which helps reduce
the graining in the video, which occurs under low light conditions. Set this
parameter to “Night Mode” to only activate noise reductio n when the camera is
operating in night mode. You can also select “Schedule”, “On” (activates noise
reduction permanently) or “Off” (deactivated noise reduction permanently).

- 49 -

Camera Settings – View Settings

A view area is a cropped part of the entire image. Each view area is treated as
a video source with its own video stream. There are 4 areas that can be set up
with different resolutions. When you define a profile (section 5.2.1) you can
assign to it a view area, which you define here.

- 50 -

5.2.3 Playback

The Intellinet network camera offers an integrated
playback feature, which allows playing back videos
from your local HDD, from a network storage server or
the optional SD storage card.

Note that video playback is limited to computer
systems running Windows and MS Internet Explorer .

Client PC

You can use the player controls on the bottom left to browse for a video on
your HDD, or to pause and stop the video. On the bottom right you can find
audio controls and the digital zoom controls, which are familiar with you from
the live video page.

Network Storage

In the event settings (see section 5.2.4) you can define a local network storage
drive (NAS) as a location for the camera to save videos. The video player allows
locating recordings quick ly and conveniently o n the network storage drive and
play back the files right in your web browser.

5.2.4 Event

Your Intellinet network camera supports so-called events.
When an event occurs, you can have the camera perfor m
an action, e.g., record a video to a remote location. This
section describes how to set up event servers, events,
motion detection and the scheduler.

Event Server

First you need to set up an event server, or multiple event servers. Click “Add”
to create a new event server.

1. How to add a FTP Server:
Name: Provide a name for the server.
Server Type: Select “FTP.”
Network Address: Type in the

address of your FTP server. Do
not type in leading ftp:// or
trailing folder names.
Incorrect:
“ftp://networkipcamera.com/
camera_images”

Correct:
“networkipcamera.com”

Server Port: Leave at 21,
unless your FTP server uses a
different port.

User Name and password:
Provide valid login credentials
for the FTP server.

Passive Mode:
Select “On” if your FTP server
utilizes passive FTP, which is
the most common method.

Media Settings:
Here you define what kind of media you wish to upload (snapshot, video or
system log), how many images pre and post event yo u wish to upload, the
image file name and the suffix.

- 54 -

2. How to add a SMTP Server:

Server Type: Select “SMTP.”
Mail Server: Type in the address

of your mail server. Do not type in
leading smtp:// or http://.

Server Port: Adjust the server port
if necessary. Port 25 is standard,
but your server may be using
different values (not so
uncommon these days as an anti­spam measure).

Authentication: If your mail server
requires authentication in order to
send email, and most servers do
these days, set authenticat io n to
“On” and define the type of
authentication below.

User Name and password:
Provide valid login credentials for the email server.

Send mail from: The camera will use this address as its own email address. Th is
email address does not necessarily need to be a valid address.

Send test email to: Enter the email address to which you want the camera to
send the images and click on Test. If the test succeeds you can provide the
information for the media settings and click “Save”. The actual target email
address is defined when you set up an event in the next section.

3. How to add a HTTP Server:
A HTTP server can be used by the camera to
trigger a script on a remote server if an event
occurs. User name, password and proxy fields
are all optional.

- 55 -

4. Adding a Network Storage
Server Type: Select “Network Storage.”
Type: Select a valid type for your

network storage (either Windows
SMB or Linux NFS).

Network Storage Location:
Enter the address of your local
storage server as shown on the
right. Example:
\\192.168.0.190\media

(192.168.0.190 is the local IP
address of the network storage
server. “media” is used in the
example to indicate that we want
to upload files into the sub folder
media)

User Name and password:
Provide valid login credentials for the network storage server.

Create Folder: Type in a folder name in which you want the camera to store
files. This field is optional.

Media Settings: See above.

Based on the information in our example, the camera would store files in this
location:

\\192.168.0.190\media\720p_dome

SD Card

If you want to record video footage on a local
SD card, you first must insert the SD card (see
hardware installation guide for details), and
then you must set the Memory Card to “on” and
format the card by clicking “Execute.”

- 56 -

Event List

Now that we have created an Event Server, we can proceed with setting up
actual events. Click on the “Add” button to begin.

You need to specify the trigger type. The drop-down list belo w shows the
available options. Note that depending on your camera model, the options will
vary.

Motion Detection The camera monitors the video image for movements

and triggers an alert when it detects motion. Motion
detection needs to be configured first for that to work.

Tampering Detection The camera can detect if it’s being tampered with, e.g.,

if someone covers the lens, and triggers an alert when
this happens. Tampering detect ion needs to be
configured for that to work.

Digital Input If your camera is equipped with digital inputs (see

hardware installation guide), then you can use them as
a trigger mechanism. A common example would be to
use 3
camera to start a recording.

Periodical This trigger type can be used if you want the camera to

perform the same action over and over again, based on
a time period. A typical application would be to have
the camera refresh an image on your web site ev ery 60
seconds.

Here you can define when you want this action to be active. You can choose
between “Always” or a schedule that you have defined (see “Schedule” a few
pages down).

Motion Detection

The Intellinet network camera is able to monitor the video footage for
movements and trigger an alert if motion has been detected. This motion
detection does not utilize passive infrared, but instead it relies on a frame by
frame comparison of the video footage the camera captures.

You can define more than one motion detection area. The example above
shows that so-called hotspot has been created for the area of the entrance
door. When you set up an event for motion detection, you can select which
motion detection area you wish to mo nitor.

Threshold and sensitivity will need to be set up so that you don’t miss
important events and are not flooded by false alarms either. Finding the right
values will require some trial and error. There are no standard values that
simply “will work” as it depends very much on the actual location and light
levels. Generally speaking, increasing the sensitivity while lowering the
threshold will generate more false alarms but it ensures that you will not miss
an important event. Doing the opposite will of course have the opposite effect:
Fewer false alarms at an increased risk or missing an important event.

Tampering Detection

If the image of the camera is obstructed, e.g., because someone covers up the
lens or moves the image out of focus, the camera notices this and generates a
trigger alert. You can define how long you want the alert state to remain active
after the event has occurred.

- 60 -

Schedule

The Network Camera supports event trigger actions that can be based on a
schedule. This can be used, as an example, to only activate motion detection
between 9 pm and 6 am during business days and around the clock on the
weekends. You can set up individual schedules for each event type, so that
motion detection is activated between 7 pm and 7 am, but tampering detection
is only activated between 10 pm and 4 am.

Depending on your camera model, the screen layout will v ary slightly.
There are three default sched ules which you cannot delete, but you can modify

them.

You can create a new schedule by clicking “Add.”

First you need to provide a name for the schedule (not shown on image). Then
select a start and end time and click on “Add” for the day of the week the
schedule is supposed to be active. As soon as you add a schedule, the timeline
turns red, indicating the active schedule. If the schedule is the same for every
day of the week, you can activ ate the option “Use the same time schedule
every day.”

- 61 -

5.2.5 System

The system menu provides access to a variety of
system settings of your Intellinet network camera.

Maintenance - Restart

You can restart the network camera by hitting the
restart button. Set Auto Restart to “On” if you wish to
reboot the camera automatically, and then you specify
the reboot mode. Select “Se quential mode” and specify
after how many days of uptime you want the camera to
reboot. Select “Schedule Mode” to control when the
reboot is to occur in a much more detailed way.

Maintenance - Backup/Restore

Default: Click this button to restore he factory default settings in this camera.
You can choose to exclude the IP and date & time s ettings.

Backup: This function allows saving the current configuration of the camera to a
file on your computer’s hard drive. Saving the configuration is useful in case
you ever want to reload a specific configuration; e.g., in order to set up another
camera of the same model and firmware version with the exact same
configuration. Since the IP address configuration is also part of the setting date,
you must be careful not to restore the same settings to two or more ca meras
when all of them are connected to the same network. Otherwise, you would be
creating an IP conflict in your network.

Restore: With this function, you can reload a previously saved configuration
back into your camera. Click Browse to locate the configuration file and OK to
begin the process. The camera will perform a reboot at the end of the
procedure and the new settings will become effective.

Maintenance - Firmware Upgrade

From time to time, there will be a new firmware version available for your
camera. New firmware versions can enhance the functionality of the camera, or
they can fix problems. Before you begin, make sure that you have obtained a
proper firmware from the Intellinet Web site. If you are not 100% sure about
this, do not proceed. Instead, contact the technical support team to verify the
firmware version. Also, do not perform the upgrade from a computer that is
connected to the network wirelessly, as the connection is inherent ly less stab le
than a cable-based connection. If you have the correct firmware file, make sure
that you un-compress the ZIP file first (if the firmware file is an archive) and
you end up with a file that has an extension *.bin. Click on Browse and select
the *bin file. Click on OK to begin the upgrade process.

- 62 -

The following message will appear:

Click “OK” to continue.
Another message will appear:

Click on “Cancel” to abort the operation. Click on “OK” to start the upgrade
process.

You will see the following messages:

Note: You may see additional messages at this stage.

When you see this message, the upgrade h a s been completed. It may take up
to two minutes to re-gain access to the camera. If the camera no longer
responds, use the Windows IP Installer utility to find the camera and re­configure the IP Address settings.

Maintenance - Language

You can replace the language in the u ser interface of your network camera. On
the Installation CD are different language files starting with “LNG_” and ending
with “.lang.” Click on Browse, select the language you wish to install and then
click on OK to begin the process.

- 63 -

Date Time - Current Date / Time

Refer to section 5.2.1.

Security - Account

Refer to section 5.2.1.

Security - IP Address Filter

Once you enabled it, the listed IP address are allowed or denied access to the
network camera. Add the IP address that you’d lik e to allow or deny, select
allow or deny from the list and save it.

HTTPS

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that provides security
for communications over networks such as the Internet.
HTTPS is a URI scheme used to indicate a secure HTTP connection (SSL
encrypted). It is syntacti cally similar to the http:// scheme that is normally
used for accessing resources using HTTP. T he differences are that SSL­encrypted connections always begin with https:// instead of http://. HTTPS
connections use TCP port 443 by default, compared to standard HTTP
connections, which use port 80.Create & Install: Create a self-signed certificate
for HTTPS to recognize.
Installed Certificate: Display or remove the prop erties of the installed
certificate.
HTTPS Connection Policy: Set HTTPS connection policy for different level of
users.
To use the HTTPS encryption, please set up “Create self-signed certificat e” for
the first time you use the HTTPS function, and then set up the connection policy
for different users.
Note: When enable HTTPS with RTSP on mode, the IP Camera only protect the
setting such as username and password and do not protect video and audio.
When enable HTTPS with RTSP off mode, the IP Camera will protect all setting
including video and audio.

Network - Basic

Refer to section 5.2.1.

- 64 -

Network Advanced - RTSP

General
RTP Port Range: The default value of port range is 5000 ~ 7999 and can be
changed from 1124 to 65534.

RTSP Port:
RTSP stands for Real Time Streaming Protocol. RTSP is supported by most
media clients, such as Real Player, VLC and QuickTime. If you only plan to view
the camera video with your Web browser or with one of the provided software
utilities, you do not need to activate this option. The default value is 554 and
can be changed from 1124 to 65534.

RTSP Configuration
This option allows you to set up the URL for each profile and define whether or
not you want to enable or disable authentication. By default, the video URL and
profile number are related, e.g., profilex = video.prox, but you change it any
way you like. Based on the d efault URLs, access to the RTSP streams would be
done like this:
rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro1
rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro2
rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro3
rtsp://camera_address:554/video.pro4

If authentication is enabled, the URLs will change as follows:
rtsp://username:password@camera_address:554/video.pro1
[...]
rtsp://username:password@camera_address:554/video.pro4

Multicast

Your Intellinet network camera supports multicast streaming. The differences
between multicast and unicast streaming are explained below. Note that for
most users the multicast streaming feature will not be of any importance and
most likely the required network infrastructure for proper multicast streaming is
not in place.

Unicast: For each connected computer there is a separate TCP/IP connection.
When 20 computers are connect ed to the camera, the camera has to create 20
different connections, and the camera has to send out the same video data to
each of the 20 computers. This not only puts
a significant load on the camera, it also
creates massive amounts of data that need
to be transferred over the network to each
connected client. Unicast is s ti ll th e most
common model when using a network
camera, since most times only a recording
device (DVR or NVR) is connected to the
camera and perhaps connections from just a small number of computers.

- 65 -

Multicast: Here the init ial stream is sent to the
router only, which creates optimal distr ibution
paths for datagrams sent to a mult icast
destination address. Whether one or 300 PCs
are connected to the video stream do es not
matter. The bandwidth and load of the local
camera is unaffected. Because of this,
multicast is the preferred choice for broadcast­type applications.

Status: Enable or disable the multicast
function here.
Access Name: This is the stream URL. It
depends on the profile selected and can
be modified.
Multicast Address: Type in the multicast
server address here.
Video / Audio Port: You can specify the
audio and video ports here, or you can
use the auto value, which should be good for most occasions.

Time to Live: The Time-To-Live value defines how long multicast traffic will
expand across routers. Routers have a TTL threshold assigned and only
datagrams with a TTL greater than the interface's threshold are forwarded.

- 66 -

Network Advanced - UPNP

UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play. A UPnP-enabled device, such as your
network camera, announces its presence in the local network to other
computers that support UPnP as we ll. The operating systems Windows XP,
Windows Vista and Windows 7/8 support UPnP. When the network camera is
connected to the network, Windows will alert the computer user of the presence
of the new device (a new icon will be added to your My Network Places folder)
and lets the user connect to the device instantaneously.
Furthermore, UPnP has the ability to instruct the router or firewall to open
certain ports, so that a party from the outside world can contact a device on
the local network, such as the network camera.
UPnP port forwarding is not supported by all routers, however. So, depending
on your router or firewall, you may or may not be able use this function, also,
opening ports in any router or firewall increases the risk of an intruder
successfully breaking in to your network. UPnP auto mates this task and leaves
it to the devices to negotiat e which ports to open. Since thi s is done without
any form of authentication, enabling UPnP port forwarding in your router is not
necessarily a good idea in a security-sensitive environment. You can always
open individual ports in your router or firewall manually.

In the camera UPnP is enabled by default. UPnP port forwarding is disabled by
default. When you enable UPnP port forwarding, the screen will reveal
additional options. These are the ports the camera will instruct the router to
open. Depending on the camera model, you may see different ports. The new
H.264 Megapixel cameras have a
simpler port model and require
fewer ports than the other
models. Normally th ere is no need
to change any of these ports,
unless you know that a port is
already in use by a different
device or application.

- 67 -

Network Advanced - Bonjour

UPnP Bonjour is a service that, just like UPnP, helps to find the network camera
on the network. Bonjour is available for Windows, but is more commonly used
for MacOS. Refer to section “4.1.2 MacOS” for additional information on the
usage.

Bonjour:
On: Enables the service (on by default).
Off: Disables the service

Device name:
Enter the name of your
camera here. This is the
name the Bonjour service
will display. If you have
more than one camera
installed in your network,
this is an easy way to
differentiate among the
cameras.

Network Advanced - DDNS

If you are not planning on connecting to the network camera over a remote
connection, but only in your local network, you can skip this section.

Dynamic DNS is a network service that provides the capability for a networked
device, such as a router or computer system, to notify a domain name server to
change, in real time (ad-hoc) the active DNS configuration of its configured
host names, addresses or other information stored in DNS.
In simpler terms: Users of private Internet services are often faced with a
problem: The ISP typically changes the IP address assign ed to the user based
on a time interval. This may be as often as once every 24 hours or as seldom
as once every 30 days. For the average user this is not a problem. However, if
you want to be able to connect to the local camera (e.g., in your house) from a
remote location (e.g., the office), you need to know under which Internet
address the camera can be reached. However, you don’t know what the current
Internet IP address is. So you are beginning to see the problem.
DDNS solves this problem by allowing you to creat e a domain name for your
home network, which you can always use to access the camera. To use the
DDNS function, you will need to do the following two things.

1. Create a DDNS hostname with a DDNS service provider

2. Set up a DDNS client in the home network that contacts the DDNS service
provider and updates the IP information.

- 68 -

If the router in your home network is equipped with a DDNS client, we
recommend using the router instead of the camera. Most SOHO routers are
equipped with a DDNS client and since the router is in direct control of handling
the Internet connection, it’s the device best suited for the DDNS task.

Server Name: Select the DDNS provider of your choice. In our example we use
no-ip.com.

User ID: Enter the same user name here that you use to log in to your account
settings on www.dyndns.org. Do not enter your DSL user account informa tion
here.

Password: Enter the password for your no-ip.com user account here. Re-type
the password in the field below.

Host name: You need to enter the full host name that you have created in your
no-ip.com account here.

Periodic Update: You can either specify the time in minutes after which the
camera will update its IP information with the DDNS provider, or you can leave
the setting as “Auto”, which is recommended.

Click “Save” to activate the settings. Reboot the cam era to activate the DDNS
settings. After a reboot you may need to wait for a few minutes before you can
access the camera with the new domain name.

- 69 -

Digital I/O

If your Intellinet network camera is equipped with a digital I/O interface, you
can configure the connections on this page. The screen shows the current
status of input 1 & 2 and output 1 & 2. The screen also allows you to define the
“normal” state of the port. The normal state can be viewed as the “non-alert­state.”

LED

You can enable or disable the operation LEDs on your Intellinet network
camera. Hiding the LED indicator will make the camera appear to be offline
while in fact it is operational and captures video.

- 70 -

System Log

The Network Camera features a log function for system messages. These are
system messages about the camera start-up procedure, e-mail deliveries, FTP
uploads, motion detection an d more. The camera stores the messages in its
internal memory and displays them on the system log screen. Since memory is
limited, the messages wil l eventually be truncated. If you need to log all the
system messages on a remote server (e.g., for permanent record keeping of
alarm events or for troubleshooting purposes), you can utilize the remote log
functionality.

Enable remote log: Server name: Type in the network address of the Syslog

server. Enter the address without any leading characters,
such as http://.

Server port: The standard port for this protocol is 514. If
your Syslog server is set up differently, you can change the
value here.

Current log: This text box displays the real-time log of the camera

messages.

- 71 -

The remote log function uses the Syslog
Protocol, which is a standard for forwarding
log messages in an IP network. Syslog is a
client/server protocol. The Syslog sender (the
Network Camera) sends a small (les s than
1KB) textual message to the Syslog server.

This user manual shows one example of a
Syslog server, the 3CDaemon utility by 3Com Corporation (Download Location:
http://support.3com.com/software/utilities_for_windows_32_bit.htm).

After the installation of 3CDaemon, the main program window opens and the
program is ready to receive Syslog messages from the network camera.

The messages shown here are the same messages that are displayed in the
Web browser.

7: Questions and Answers

9.1 Accessing the Camera

What are the camera’s default IP address, administrator user name and

Q:

password?

A: The camera ob tains an IP address from a DHCP server in your network. If

no DHCP server is present, the camera reverts back to its default IP
address 192.168.1.221. The default administrator user name is “admin”;
the default password is “admin.”

Q: The IP Installer utility does not show the Network Camera, even though the

camera is connected to the network. Why?

A: 1: IP Installer utilizes UPnP in order to detect the camera. Check and make

sure that UPnP support is enabled in the camera. Activate UPnP support in
the settings menu under Basic -> Network -> UPnP

2: The firewall on your computer may be blocking IP Installer and is
therefore preventing it from detecting the camera. Be sure to run the
application while logged in to the computer with administrator rights.

Q: IP Installer still cannot find the camera. How can I find it on the network?
A: 1: If a DHCP server is present on the network (e.g., a rou ter), you can

check the DHCP server’s client log after you have connected the camera to
the network. The camera will show up in the log, typically with the highest
of the IP addresses shown, as DHCP servers assign IP addresses in
sequence (newest client with newest IP address).

2: If the camera is not connected to a DHCP server, or if you connect the
camera so that it is isolated from the rest of the network, you can connect
to the camera at its default IP address of 192.168.1.221. You may have to
adjust the TCP/IP settings of your computer manually to be in range of

192.168.1.xxx in order to gain access to the camera. Connect to the
settings menu with your Web browser and change the IP address of the
camera manually.

Q: How do I install the camera on a Mac or Linux system?
A: Refer to sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 in this user manual.

Q: After changing the camera's Web server port from 80 to a different value,

access to the camera is no longer possible.

- 74 -

A: Whenever you change the Web server port from the standard 80 to a

different value, you need to append the port to the camera's IP address.
The syntax is always http://cameraip:portnumber.
Example: When you change the Web server port to 81, the correct address
would be: http://192.168.1.221:81.

Q: I changed the HTTP port in the camera settings, but after I saved the

settings the camera still responds on the old HTTP port. The new value is
ignored.

A: After changing the HTTP port in the Basic->Network->Information screen

and saving the settings, you need to reboot the Network Camera. You can
either temporarily cut the power to the camera, or you can reboot the
camera via the settings menu (Basic ->System->Initialize).

9.2 Web Browser Access

I cannot use some of the features of the Network Camera. For example, I

Q:

cannot set up motion detection or record video from the live video page.

A: Only MS Internet Explorer supports full access to all functions. Refer to

section 2.3 for a list of limitations for other Web browsers, such as Firefox,
Opera or Safari.

Q: I am using MS Internet Explorer, bu t when I connect to the camera I don’t

see a live image.

A: When you first connect to the camera with MSIE, you nee d to install an

ActiveX control. If your Internet security settings do not allow the
execution of signed ActiveX controls, or if you do not run MSIE while
logged in to the system as a computer administrator, the installation of the
ActiveX control will be prevented. Check the Internet options and make
sure you are running MSIE as a computer administrator. Subsequent
connections can be made without ad ministrator rights.

- 75 -

9.3 Camera Related Issues

The camera does not send any e-mails. Why?

Q:
A: 1. The problem occurs because the camera cannot contact the e-mail

server. Check:

- Is the e-mail (SMTP) server address correct?

- Did you specify the correct gateway IP address?

- Did you specify correct DNS servers?

- Did you enter the correct e-mail address?

- Did you specify the e-mail title?

2. The e-mail server denies the delivery request from the camera.
Check:

- Is a valid sender address specified?

- Did you activate SMTP authentication?

- Did you enter the correct user name and password for SMTP
authentication?
Also be sure to have the latest firmware installed in case you experience
difficulties. Possible compatibility problems are likely to be resolved in
newer firmware versions.

Q: Can I use the camera's integrated motion detection function to se cure

sensitive areas and goods of a high value?

A: Using the Netw ork Camera's integrated motion detection for securing high-

value items is not recommended, as the function does not work as reliably
as professional security sensors.
We recommend using professional secur ity monitoring software in
combination with the Network Camera. You may also connect external
security sensors to the camera's digital input port for increased security.

- 76 -

Q: Does my camera support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
A: The following models suppor t PoE :

- IBC-607IR Network Bullet Camera

- IBC-637IR HD Network Bullet Camera

- IBC-667IR HD Network Bullet Camera
