IP cameras are a new generation product that combine analog and IP video
technology. IP cameras can compress and encrypt video and audio signals then
send it to remote terminals through the internet with its built-in processor and web
server. With an IP address, users can use the standard Internet Explorer browser
to view the camera real-time, monitor targets, manage and store video and audio,
as well as control PTZ through the network.

As a new generation of products in the security family, IP cameras share the
same function as analog cameras such as auto white balance, auto shutter
speed, AGC, auto backlight compensation etc. On the other hand, IP cameras
also support remote access through the internet, and support multi-user viewing
functions. Some IP cameras are even able to extend to both analog and digital
signals.

The core of F series IP cameras is 32Bit RSIC with standard MJPEG compression
format, CMOS image sensors, auto white balance and backlight balance, Internet
Explorer compatibility, smart phone accessibility, and centralized monitor interface
management. In general, these cameras host a variety of functions that can serve
a number of users depending on their usage requirements and conditions.

2.2. Installation

IP camera has the ability to process images and transmit via an internet
connection. It offers DDNS function for static IP, dynamic IP, and PPPoE dialing
users. IP camera can connect to router network through LAN or wireless
connection.

2.2.1. LAN Installation

This is the most popular method of access as long as there is a router with
internet capabilities nearby. Connect router directly to IP camera, the camera will
then connect to internet as a normal PC, as shown:

5

2.2.2. PPPoE Installation

Under this connection, users must set PPPoE dialing parameters on the IP
camera itself. Input the username and password of ISP supplier and allow the IP
camera to connect to internet. To set the PPPoE dialing parameter connect the
device to network through the first way, then write parameters to the device.
Another option is to follow the third way to direct process parameter and write to
device. For detailed steps please refer to 3.4.5.

2.2.3. IP Camera & PC connection

This method is not used as often, but when you process machine be sure to write
parameter or program shift. We recommend you adopt the LAN connection to
process the modification of machine parameter.

Connect to IP camera (note: don't apply wrong power). After one minute
modification, video should be connected by internet cable directly to the camera.
When yellow light is on and green light is blinking, you will know that the physical

6

connection of IP camera is finished. To ensure successful connection, we
recommend setting the camera IP as the stable IP at the same net range of PC in
LAN. For how to set this, please refer to number 8 of frequently asked questions.

Troubleshooting Guide

My camera isn't showing up in “Search Devices”

• Check that the camera has been connected to the router via ethernet.
(If the green light is flashing, then it is connected to a network.)

• Does your router block connections that haven't been pre-accepted?

• Reset the camera – hold the reset button down until camera head starts spinning by itself.

• Try a different ethernet cable.

I can't change the details in “Search Devices”

• Check the username and password – 'admin' and no password is default.

• Check that you are inputting the IP address/subnet/gateway correctly.

• Reset the camera – hold the reset button down until camera head starts spinning by itself.

I can't log in to the camera in a browser

• Check that you are putting the correct format in: http://ipaddress:port

• Check that you are putting the same address as shown in “Search Devices”

• Check your router's “attached devices” list, if possible.

• Reset the camera – hold the reset button down until camera head starts spinning by itself.

Colours are incorrect (too purple, or all green etc...)

• Reset the camera – hold the reset button down until camera head starts spinning by itself.

Can connect wired, but not wireless

• Ensure the ethernet has been unplugged. Pull the power cord out, then plug it back in to reboot the
camera without the ethernet cable plugged in.

• Check settings by logging in to the camera wired up.

• Ensure there are no special characters in your password ($#%!@&)

• Try a different wireless security encryption type (WEP/WPA)

• Does the router block wireless connections that haven't been pre-accepted?

• Try turning the router security off briefly to see if it connects.

• Reset the camera – hold the reset button down until camera head starts spinning by itself.

I can connect wireless, but cannot connect remotely to my camera from outside my home network

• Open port-forwarding directly to the IP of the camera, using the port previously set up in the Search
Devices application. You will need to refer to your router manual, find guidance online or contact the
router manufacturer for further information on how to do this.

• Check external IP address using http://www.whatismyip.com/

Setting up DNS Service

• Ensure you are using http://www.noip.com/ for your DNS service.

• Check your username and password.

• Log in to http://www.noip.com/ and refresh your service.

I can't connect via the webcam app

• Check that you are using the external IP address or your No-IP address. If you are using an internal
IP address (which will be 192.168.1.99 or similar), then you are not using an external IP address.

• See if you can access the camera on someone else's computer using the same IP address.

The video is overlapping

• In the address bar on Internet Explorer, click the “broken page” icon on the right. This will enable
compatibility mode, which will cause the page to display correctly.

I can't find out how to save my videos

• You can only record videos in Internet Explorer.

I can't setup or see multiple cameras

• You can only setup and view multiple cameras at once in Internet Explorer

• Check that all of your cameras have unique IP addresses

• Check that they have all been setup correctly in Settings > Multi-Device Settings

How can I turn off the flashing green light?

• Go to http://ipaddress:port/set_misc.cgi?led_mode=2 in your browser. (To turn the light back on,
change led_mode=2 to led_mode=0)

How do I setup motion detection?

If you want to save images when motion detection is activated, the best idea is to set up an email account which all
images are sent to. That way, you can organise the images in an online account, then download them to your
computer through an application such as outlook or thunderbird. Once you have an email address, do the following:

• Log into the IP camera portal in your browser, then go to the settings section.

• Go to Mail Service Settings, and add a Sender address and any Receiving addresses you want.

• Add the SMTP Server, Port and Security Protocol settings as advised by your email provider.

(If you don't have them, you can request them from the provider or find them on Google, as they are generally
available online.)

• Tick 'Need Authentication' and input your email username and password.

• Click 'Test' to ensure the email settings are set and emails will send properly.

• Go to 'Alarm Service Settings' and enable motion detection.

• Change the sensibility as required, then tick 'Send Mail on Alarm and 'Upload Image on Alarm'.

• Submit your settings, then wait for the camera to reboot.

• Test the motion detection and alter the sensitivity as required.

My videos aren't saving in Internet Explorer.

The videos may be missing due to a security feature of Internet Explorer in Windows Vista, 7 and 8.
It applies to sites that haven't been trusted by the browser. To fix this:

• Log in to your main IP camera page.

• Go to Settings > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites

• Click on the 'Sites' button in this section. The website tool box should already be filled with the IP camera

address.

• Click add.

Internet Explorer should now trust the site and you can save videos without any further issue.
