ASSIGNING IP ADDRESS & ACCESSING THE WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA HOME PAGE
Assigning an IP Address
To access the Wireless Network IP Camera, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.
IMPORTANT
Please use the newly assigned IP address, do NOT use any occupied IP address, the default, or the example IP address.
It is highly recommended that you assign an IP address before placing the Wireless Network IP
Camera in a remote location or network.
Network IP Address:
A network IP address is an identification code for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network. Networks using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destinations within a closed Network. IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered, public IP address to avoid duplicates. IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.
MAC (Media Access Control) Address (Ethernet)
MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each device of a network. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of Wireless Network IP Camera is a 12­digit number. A unique MAC address can be found on the label on the bottom of each Network IP Camera.
NOTE
Please run the IP address installation program (IP Installer.exe) on a PC that is connected to the same local network as the Wireless Network IP Camera.

Security Settings:
Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties.
The WEP key needs to be entered in HEX code.
To set up 64-bit WEP, input 10 HEX characters, for example, 0123456789. To setup 128-bit WEP, input 26 HEX characters, for example, 01234567890123456789012345
Example 1) Your access point uses 64-bit encryption, default key 1 and the key value is
0123456789. Your wireless camera WEP setting will be:
Encryption (WEP): WEP Key Entry #1: WEP Key Entry #2: WEP Key Entry #3: WEP Key Entry #4: Default Key:
.
64bit 0123456789 0000000000 0000000000 0000000000

Example 2) Your AP uses 128-bit encryption, default key 2 and the key value is
01234567890123456789012345. Your wireless camera WEP setting will be:
Encryption (WEP):
WEP Key Entry #1: WEP Key Entry #2: WEP Key Entry #3: WEP Key Entry #4:
Default Key:
128bit 0000000000000000000000000 0123456789012345678901234 0000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000

Please note:
All four WE P Keys need to be set up the exact same way as they are defined in your Wireless Access Point.
40
WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
Make sure the Encryption Code is the same as that of the access point the camera will be connected to under Infrastructure Mode. Your PC’s encryption code also needs to be set up to match the camera’s encryption code under either Infrastructure or Adhoc Mode. The default setting for the Encryption Key is Disable; therefore, to secure the wireless transmission, be sure to enable the Encryption Key by entering the relevant data.
Carefully input the Encryption Code. Any error will cause the communication link to fail
NOTE
Infrastructure Mode:
This is an 802.11 networking framework in which devices communicate with each other by first going through an access point (AP). In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. When one AP is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more BSSs that form a single sub network. Most corporate wireless LANs operate in Infrastructure Mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers.
Ad-hoc Mode:
This is an 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other, without the use of an AP. Ad-hoc Mode is also referred to as Peer-to-Peer Mode or an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc Mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required.
SSID (service set identifier): This is a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is also referred to as a network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network.
To connect a wireless client such as a Wireless Network IP Camera to a specific AP, the user of the camera should specify the SSID name in the camera’s wireless IP setting.

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
Motion detection from……
This is to detect motion from camera by S/W data comparison. When you select Motion Detection, the Wireless Network IP Camera detects a motion triggered by the camera lens. To detect motion, the camera compares a previous and present image. Motion is detected when, the camera recognizes a data change. This feature does not work if the image is too dark. Also, the Motion Detection only works reliably at a maximum image resolution of 320x240. CAUTION:
Do not use the motion detection function for security monitoring of high value items. When using motion detection for security, the use of an external sensor, such as infrared, is recommended. The "from" and "to" values specify the time window in which the motion detection is active.. Example: From 8 to 19 would activate the motion detection between 8 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening.
Periodically…..
The Wireless Network IP Camera itself is to be triggered automatically by a programmable setting.
Motion detection sensitivity
This is to configure the level of motion detection sensitivity. The level is composed of 10 settings from 0 to 9.
The higher the setting, the greater the sensitivity.
In case of level 9 for sensitivity, the camera may detect a tiny motion, even light changes. It is strongly recommended to configure levels 3 - 6 for sensitivity.
2. Image Capture Option
This is to configure image capture before and/or after an event is triggered.
Before event
You may set the starting time to capture the image before an event is triggered. (Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.)
After event
You may set the finishing time to capture the image after an event is triggered. (Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.)
Image capture frame rate
Set the frame rate from 1 to 15 fps when the image is being captured.
Image file name
You may designate an image file name to send via e-mail or FTP after an image is captured. All captured images are saved as JPG files. (Example. “File name 000”.JPG)
44
WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
Append to the image file name
You may append some information to the Image file name
Camera IP address : Example: “file name _192.168.1.19”.JPG
A. B. Date and time : Example: “file name_20020218150030.”JPG C. Trigger condition flag
1. If choosing “Activation of digital input port”, “D” may be appended to image file name.
Example: “file name_D.”JPG In case of choosing “Periodically every…”, “P” is appended to image file name. Example: “file name_P”.JPG
D. Image sequence number
If you select this option, you may classify the file that has same extend name. Consecutive numbers are from “000” to “999” Example: When you designate the file name as “camera” and select “Image sequence
number,”the file name appears “ camera001.JPG, camera002.JPG ….camera999.JPG”
Configuration for image capture option affects memory capacity. If you configure this option to excess memory size, the Warning message “Not enough memory…” appears.
The total image capture frame rate must be limited 45 fps due to memory size. (Before event time + After event time) x Image capture frame rate must be less than 45.
For example, if you configure “Before event time” as 3 seconds, “After event time” as 2 seconds and “image capture frame” as 3 fps, the total image capture frame rate is ( 3 + 2) x 3 = 15 fps.

B. Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
1. What is a Network IP camera?
A Network IP Camera is a stand-alone device which allows a user to view live, full motion video from anywhere on a computer network, even over the Internet, using a standard web-browser.
2. Are all Network IP cameras the same?
No, some network cameras have an embedded OS (operating system) as well as an embedded Web server. To be called a Network IP camera, the only requirement is that the camera connects to the network, and not a computer - an embedded OS is what separates network cameras.
3. Why Choose a Network IP Camera over a Web Camera?
An IP Camera is a true networking device containing an embedded OS (Operating System), supports multiple users, and can be viewed using any web browser. It does not require additional hardware to operate and therefore has the flexibility to be located anywhere with a network connection. A web cam must be connected to a host computer, supports only one user at a time, and cannot be shared on a network. Only the host computer can access the web cam.
4. What is the advantage of the embedded OS?
Cameras with an embedded OS communicate directly with the user; the images or video are sent directly from the camera to the person(s) accessing it. A Network camera without an embedded OS must rely on a third party server or a separate piece of software, meaning the images/video is sent to the third party server, then the user accesses the image from the third party server.
5. Do I need a public fixed IP address for each camera?
No, you of course, can have a real, public, static IP address for each camera, however, using just one static IP address for your router and a virtual server or port forwarding, you can use many cameras with just one static IP. Please also note that the IP camera must have an adjustable web server port (you must be able to change the web server port) to use multiple cameras behind a router.
6. Can I use the camera outside?
The Wireless Network IP Camera is designed for indoor use only.
7. What additional software is required?
Networking IP Cameras with an embedded Operating System (OS) should not need any additional software.
52
WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
8. How does the built-in motion detection work?
It very simply compares what it sees now to what it saw in the last frame and based on a sensitivity you select will trigger an event. The event can be to send an e-mail, to send an Image to a FTP server, or to send a series of images (before and after the motion is detected) to an e-mail address or FTP server.-All required software is built into the camera.
9. What is the maximum length Ethernet cable I can use?
The same topology limitations that apply to any 10/100 Ethernet card apply, meaning the maximum segment length is 100 meters from the switch/hub to the camera
10. What is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)?
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), or "Active Ethernet," eliminates the need to run power to devices on a wired LAN. Using PoE, installers need to run only a single CAT5 Ethernet cable that carries both power and data to each device. This allows greater flexibility and significantly decreases installation costs in many cases.
11. Can Network IP Cameras use different lenses?
Advanced Network IP Cameras utilize CS-mount lenses, which can accommodate a variety of specialized lenses, such as wide-angle, fisheye or telephoto lenses.
12. What image sizes can be viewed from Network IP Cameras?
Advanced Network IP Cameras use multiple pre-set image sizes that typically include 160 x 120, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480 pixel image sizes.
13. Can I view a Network IP Camera from my PDA?
Network IP Cameras can now be viewed on most Windows systems,, including Pocket PC devices, such as the Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada, Dell Axim, Casio Cassiopeia and many others. You can download the PDA Viewer at: http://www.intellinet-network.com/ipcamera.

C. Trouble Shooting
This appendix provides useful information to help you to resolve any difficulty you might have with your Wireless Network IP Camera. Fault symptoms, possible causes and remedial actions are provided within a quick reference table.
PINGing your IP Address
By sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply, the PING (Packet Internet Groper) can determine whether a specific IP address is accessible; it also provides a particularly useful method for confirming addressing conflicts with your Wireless Network IP Camera on the network.
Disconnect your Wireless Network IP Camera,, follow the instructions below in association with Symptoms, Possible Cause and Remedial Actions, and run the PING utility to troubleshoot TCP/IP problems on your network.
Start a DOS window Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x. is the IP address of the Wireless Network IP Camera The subsequent replies will provide an explanation as to the case of the problem. Replies can
be interpreted as defined in the table below:

1.Click “Start”, “Settings”, “Control Panel” and “Network”.
2.Specify the TCP/IP adapter and click on “Properties”. In Properties, Click “IP Address”.
3.Check that the first 3 numbers within the IP address of your Wireless Network IP Camera match the first 3 of your workstation. If not, your Wireless Network IP Camera may be on a different subnet and the IP address cannot be set from this workstation. You must set the Wireless Network IP Camera IP address from a workstation on the same subnet. Try replacing your network cable
Test the network interface of the product by connecting a local computer to the unit, using a standard crossover (hub-to-hub) cable.
If the above actions do not resolve the problem, the Wireless Network IP Camera may be faulty, In this case, try to localize the problem by connecting the camera to the serial port of a local computer, using the supported RS232 cable

D. Utilizing IP Addresses on Local Area Network
Introduction
Access to the Internet is achieved via Internet IP addresses. Currently, IP addresses are limited. There are 5 classes of networks, and each network contains IP addresses. A network can only hold a limited number of IP addresses. The number of IP addresses dep ends on the network class. The 5 classes are labeled “A” through “E,” with the most common one being the “C” class network.
IP Construction and Network Class
1. IP Construction
xxx xxx xxx xxx
(xxx: 0-255) X1 X2 X3 X4 e.g. 192.168.1.1
2. Network Class
A Class: A network that contains IP addresses from 0 to 127 at room ‘X1”
Network ID: X1 Host ID: X2, X3, X4 There are 128 A-Class networks in the world.
B Class: A network that contains IP addresses from 0 to 127 at room ‘X1” Network ID: X1, X2 Host ID: X3, X4 There are 65, 534 B-Class networks in the world.
C Class: A network that contains IP addresses from 192 to 223 at room ‘X1’. Network ID: X1, X2, X3 Host ID: X4
The most common network in the world; there are 2,097,152 C-class networks in the world.
D Class: A network that contains IP addresses fro m 224 to 239 at room ‘X1’. D-class networks are used for multicasting, and are not allowed for common use.
E Class: A network that contains IP addresses from 240 to 255 at room ‘X1’. E-class networks are reserved.

C Class Network
1. Features of Addresses
IP address: The three-digit number in room ‘X4’ is for the Host ID. The number ranges from 0 to
255. Among the numbers, 0 is used for Network ID, 1 is used for Router IP (Gateway address) and 255 are used for Broadcast address. The numbers from 2 to 244 are IP addresses that can be assigned to Wireless Network IP Cameras, PCs, etc.
Network ID: Identifies a network. Generally the first number assigned is Network ID. Gateway address: The IP address of the router for connecting Internet and local network. Broadcast address: The IP address for broadcasting. All devices connected on a local network
have the same Broadcast address.
Subnet Mask: Divides a local network into two remote networks. The Subnet Mask shows the IP
quantity in a certain network. The number that can be used as Subnet Mask is limited (0, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128)

H. Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)
Your internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to connect to the Internet. 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. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your network over the Internet. The solution to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.
The Internet uses DNSs to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.intellinet-network.com , are easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet, and best of all they’re free. Two excellent DDNS services are www.ods.org (ODS) and www.DynDNS.org of your choice to begin using it. Please refer the the home page of the service for detailed instructions.
A DDNS service works by uploading your WAN IP address to its servers periodically, your gateway­router may support DDNS directly, in which case you can enter your DDNS account information into your router, and it will update the DDNS servers automatically when your IP address changes. Please consult your router’s documentation for more information. If your router does not support DDNS, you can run a small client utility on any PC on your network, which will perform the updating. The client utility is usually provided for free by the service. Check the service’s web page for further information, terms and conditions.
. You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name
65
WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
How to use ODS DDNS service
1. Access ODS home page (www.ods.org).
2. To register your ID, select REGISTER and then register your ID/ password. After that you just log in with registered ID/password.
3. After you log in, you will see the following page.
66
WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
If you want to use normal DDNS service among many services, you should fill in the blanks in the circled box and then click “Add Host.”
Host: write the name you want.
Domain: Select the domain you want (i.E.
Type: Select ‘A’ (‘A’ is normal)
Target: Write initial IP of equipment but just write any IP address that is in the form of
“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
TTL Priority: DO NOT select. This is an option.
If you want to select “intellinet.sphere-web.com.org” for domain name, write ‘intellinet’ in Host item and then select sphere-web.com for domain. Otherwise, please refer to the premium service.
sphere-web.com)
NOTE
After completing the setup, you should set DDNS registration for the Wireless Network IP Camera
Example Configuration: Your ODS Username: intellinet Your ODS Password: 550703 Your ODS Domain Name: cam.sphere-web.com

I. High-Speed Solutions
This information is to help you access high-speed Internet services, such as xDSL, or a cable modem connection. However, since some high-speed Internet services may provide only one external IP address that may not be static,, there are several practical issues to consider.
AVAILABLE IP ADDRESS
An ISP (Internet Service Provider) ideally will provide you with several static IP addresses – in which case you can assign any one of these to your Wireless Network IP Camera to make it fully accessible over the Internet. However, if your service provider supplies you with only one IP address, which is often the case, this IP number is normally assigned to your PC,-leaving no connection available for your Wireless Network IP Camera.
What can you do if your ISP is unable to provide you with an IP number? There are a number of other options to consider, including:
NAT BOX
Short for Network Address Translator, NAT is an Internet standard that allows a local-area network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic. A NAT box located where your LAN meets the Internet will handle all of the necessary IP address translations and provides:
z Internal IP addresses that are unique to your network – with no possibility of conflict with
IP Addresses used by other companies and organizations.
z The possibility of combining multiple ISDN connections into a single Internet connection. z An effective firewall for hiding internal IP addresses.
NAT Feature in Windows 2000
Utilize the NAT feature in Windows 2000 to allow multiple Ethernet cards in your PC, and you can then use one of port for the Internet and the other for your internal network. With this solution, you can let your Wireless Network IP Camera upload image streams to an external Web Server that is maintained and located with your ISP.
72
WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
ROUTERS AND FIREWALLS
Another solution is to use one of several small routers/firewalls currently available on the market. These provide the necessary NAT functionality and allow complete independence for your PC, which can be switched off or rebooted without affecting the image transmission from your Wireless Network IP Camera.
WINGATE SERVER SOFTWARE
Running on a single Windows 95/98/2000 or NT computer, this software allows multiple users simultaneous access to the Internet through a LAN or higher-speed line, such as xDSL or cable modem connection; and effectively shares a single Internet connection with almost any type of client computer running TCP/IP.
For more advanced users, the WinGate 3.0 Standard and Pro versions also allow the administrator to change the IP bindings so that external requests may be routed specifically to your Wireless Network IP Camera – running behind the WinGate software.
NOTE
NAT, or Network Address Translator (Virtual LAN): A hardware device currently being
developed and used to extend the Internet addresses already in use. NAT has been suggested as an alternative to adopting IPv6 (IPng). It allows duplicate IP addresses to be used within a corporation and unique addresses outside. It is defined in RFC 1631.

K. Glossary of Terms
Active-X – A control (or set of rules) used by a browser. Active-X controls are often downloaded and installed automatically as required.
ARP – Address Resolution Protocol. A method for finding a host's Ethernet address from its Internet address. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing the Internet address of another host and waits for it (or some other host) to send back its Ethernet address. Each host maintains a cache of address translations to reduce delay and loading. ARP allows the Internet address to be independent of the Ethernet address but it only works if all hosts support it. The ARP command can be used to set the IP addresses for your product.
CGI – A standard for running external programs from a World-Wide Web HTTP server. CGI specifies how to pass arguments to the executing program as part of the HTTP request. It also defines a set of environment variables. Commonly, the program will generate some HTML which will be passed back to the browser, but it can also request URL redirection. Also, a set of rules (or a program) that allows a Web Server to communications with other programs.
DSL –Digital Subscriber Loop, A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high-speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and telephone companies.
DHCP – A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network. The system administrator assigns a range of IP addresses to DHCP and each client computer on the LAN has its TCP/IP software configured to request an IP address from the DHCP server. The request and grant process uses a lease concept with a controllable time period.
Ethernet –A widely used networking standard.
Firewall –A virtual barrier between a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, e.g., the
Internet.
Frame Grabber Card – Plug-in hardware for “grabbing” images.
FTP – A client-server protocol that allows a user on one computer to transfer files to and from
another computer over a TCP/IP network. Also the client program the user executes to transfer files. It is defined in STD 9, RFC 959.
76

HTML – A markup language used to structure text and multimedia documents and to set up
hypertext links between documents, used extensively on the World Wide Web.
HTTP – A protocol used to request and transmit files, especially web pages and webpage components, over the Internet or other computer network.
Intranet – A privately maintained computer network that can be accessed only by authorized persons, especially members or employees of the organization that owns it.
IP (Internet Protocol) –. The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. It provides packet routing, fragmentation and re-assembly through the data link layer.
IP Number (address) – A unique number used by a computer on the network to allow it to be identified and found.
JPEG – A standard image format, used widely for photographs. Also known as JPG.
LAN (Local Area Network) –. A data communications network which is geographically limited
(typically to a 1 km radius), allowing easy interconnection of terminals, microprocessors and computers within adjacent buildings. Ethernet and FDDI are examples of standard LANs.
PING – A protocol that sends a message to another computer and waits for acknowledgment, often used to check if another computer on a network is reachable.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) – A method allowing one computer to connect to another, usually via a modem over a phone line.
Protocol - A set of formal rules describing how to transmit data, especially across a network. Low­level protocols define the electrical and physical standards to be observed, bit- and byte-ordering and the transmission and error detection and correction of the bit stream. High-level protocols deal with the data formatting, including the syntax of messages, the terminal to computer dialogue, character sets, sequencing of messages etc.
SMTP – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
