Introduction
High-quality, high efficiency video & audio transmission via IP network
The network surveillance camera allows you to view live video over internet. Your
control center can be set up anywhere with internet access without being restricted
by locations. Surveillance video is processed by the most up-to date compression
technology and transmitted in MPEG-4 compression format, whose transmission
efficiency and video quality remain uncompromised by the network, minimizing the
lagging of live surveillance video. In addition, wireless LAN is also supported. The
wireless model makes the network usage more handy without the hassle of cable
installation.
Great usability in every surveillance aspect
The network surveillance camera’s ease of use begins with its web-based user
- Page 8 -
interface, using Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse the live video or the provided
Windows client Surveillance Management Center(SMC) that offers many additional
benefits: its user interface can display video up to 9 camera servers at the same
time. Recording can also be done simultaneously and you can use it to view recorded
video from the archive and backup your recorded file with audio.
Unparalleled surveillance functions where nothing slips through your watch
The network surveillance camera’s motion detection function sends out the alarm
when any movement of any object occurring on the scene is detected, which makes
it ideal for home and after-hour facility security. 16 preset positions can be
programmed and the auto-cruise function will make the tour accordingly as if you
were taking the patrol rounds in person.
You can also program the cameras to take snapshots or record video when the alarm
is triggered by the event. These snapshots can be transmitted via FTP or email.
Event recording is done by a client PC on the network as the camera sends snapshot
in JPEG format as part of the responses to the triggered event.
Optional centralized management software for large scale surveillance
services
The software suite performs as a central control station on a client PC that controls,
manages, and monitors up to 9 network surveillance camera server units over the
network at the same time. You can talk to your surveillance camera just by a click on
the managed camera to start 2-way audio conversation. The flexible and diversified
SMC offer you handy surveillance solution on Windows platform.

SCAN
The SCAN function is designed for the camera search when you install multiple
cameras under the same LAN . Leadtek surveillance cameras are detectable by
Leadtek Surveillance Management Center.
- Page 50 -
The scanned cameras will be listed in the Scan grid and with the hostname and IP
displayed. Hostname stands for device identifier (a nickname) or SIP telephone
number and the IP is current IP address of the surveillance camera ☆
Users may double-click the Scan camera button or press the right arrow sign to add
the camera into the managed group on the right panel.
☆ We assume that the PC software is installed to a LAN PC , so the SMC can do the SCAN . If under the WAN , the
SCAN function may not function well across router .
.
☆ The scan function can search all the surveillance camera in the same subnet. Those cameras with different subnet
setting or not being configured as the same subnet of SMC will not be searched by our SMC. You will need another
scan utility to scan those cameras in local area network (with different network setting but installed within same
router)
☆ You can connect to those surveillance camera found by SMC scan. The SMC can not connect to those cameras
with improper network setting (not found by SMC scan). Check your surveillance camera network setting if you fail to
scan the camera.
- Page 51 -
MODIFY
SMC provides 2 modes to make live connections to surveillance camera. One is P2P
(peer-to-peer) and the other is Using SIP Server. The scanned camera list is all for
P2P mode. Each surveillance camera comes with a default Hostname which is just a
name keeper for user’s reference in P2P mode. Users can offer nickname in the field
of IPcam ID to keep track of his camera. The nickname will be displayed on screen
text overlay of SMC. If the live connection is made via P2P mode (SIP server not
involved), you can also use the Hostname as the second nickname to become more
easily to remember. Click the selected camera and click the MODIFY button to
modify the setting.
- Page 52 -
If the live connection is made via SIP proxy server, you shall select Use SIP Server
in Connection Mode field. Note that you shall also offer the correct SIP proxy
server IP in the IP Address field so that SMC will refer to that designated SIP server
for specified surveillance camera(via phone number of Hostname). The Password

Using Camera with a Router
Using Camera with a Router
If users connect their own surveillance camera and / or PC to a router to access
Internet, the router automatically assign IP address to each device. Those IP
addresses assigned by the router are under private IP address range (depicted in
the following figure).
Private IP address range:
z 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 : private IP address range
z 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 : private IP address range
z 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 : private IP address range
- Page 82 -
z 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255 ( DHCP link failure address setting)
z 0.0.0.0 : invalid IP address

SIP Configuration
Category : SMC / Configuration / General
Question:
How to verify SIP connection mode for A/V transmission in
NSC3615(Peer-to-peer or SIP proxy) ? How do I configure SIP
connection mode on SMC?
Answer:
SMC supports 2 mode of SIP connection, i.e. peer-to-peer or via SIP
proxy. A SIP phone number shall be pre-configured before make the
SIP call to IPCam server. For a peer-to-peer mode, the IP address of
target IPCam shall be designated before launching IPCam connection.
If you are making an SIP proxy connection to IPCam server, make
sure you have already configured SIP proxy setting of SMC itself. The
SIP proxy setting can be modified from “Advance Setting” Æ”Other”
Make sure “Using SIP Server” option is “ON”.
You need to restart SMC to make the new SIP proxy setting to be
effective.
