Introduction
High-quality, high efficiency video & audio transmission via IP network
The network surveillance camera allows you to v iew 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
interface, using Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse the live video or the
provided Windows client Surveillance Management Cent er(SMC) that off ers 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.
- Page 10 -
Unparalleled surveillance functions where nothing slips through your
watch
The network surveillance camera’s motion detection fun ction 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 t he tour accordin gly 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 netw ork as the camera send s
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.

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
z 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255 ( DHCP link failure address setting)
z 0.0.0.0 : invalid IP address
Follow up the flow chart and justify your Internet subscription from ISP. Three
networking modes are deduced and proper IP address assignment should be
given accordingly.

A. DHCP(private IP address):
Configure your surveillance camera with DHCP mode from web page Network Æ
IP
Save and reboot your surveillance camera to make the setting effective.
Note: If you want to access your LAN(behind NAT router) from Internet, make
sure your STUN and SIP option are both turned on(both Windows client and
surveillance camera) in order pass media packets through routers.
Procedure to Turn on SIP and STUN Option:
- Page 83 -
I. SIP and STUN Option on SMC:
SIP Option:
If you are making an SIP proxy connection to surveillance camera, 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.
STUN Option:
From Advance Setting Æ Other, make sure STUN Detect is ON.
Note : For SIP Phone / SIP Server / SIP port / STUN Server / STUN Port
parameter settings, you can contact VoIP service provider and subscribe a
account to use. Please contact ipcamfae@leadtek.com.tw
for further detail.
II. SIP and STUN Option in Surveillance Camera:
SIP Option:
Log on to surveillance web page. From webpage System Æ SIP, ensure Sip
Register option is ON.
STUN Option:
From webpage System Æ SIP, ensure Stun Detect option is ON.
- Page 84 -
Note : For SIP Phone / SIP Server / SIP port / STUN Server / STUN Port / Stun
Enable HB parameter settings, you can contact VoIP service provider and
subscribe a account to use. Please contact ipcamfae@leadtek.com.tw
for further
detail. The following snapshot is just an example setting for demo
purpose only. You shall not input the setting to their own surveillance
camera.
B. Static IP or PPPoE(public IP address):
Fill the network PPPoE account/password provided by your ISP from web page
Network Æ IP. Save and reboot your surveillance camera. Surveillance camera
will boot up and dial-up to Internet with PPPoE account(a public IP address).
- Page 85 -
Note : The example snapshot is just an example. You shall input the setting of
your PPPoE account given by your ISP.
C. Without Internet Access(arranged by users):
If you have no Internet access link, they can manually configure their networking
device and make sure each device IP address is unique and is of a same subnet.
The following network scenario is a quick example.
PC Setting:
IP address : 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Surveillance Camera Setting:
IP address : 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Available IP address range : 192.168.0.2 ~ 192.168.0.254 (exclude
192.168.0.100)

If you have direct Internet access(e.g. IP address 61.128.30.57)
without an firewall or NAT router installed, you possibly can directly
link to Leadtek IPCAM live demo site(IP address : 220.128.220.97,
etc on the figure above) and get a real-time live view.
From dos shell command, you can input “tracert” command and see
how your packet goes to Internet. Take our IPCAM Internet live
demo as an example, you can find out how many router hop are
there and thus learn your network configuration.

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.

Motion Detection
Category : SMC / Operation / General
Question:
How do I configure the Motion Detection of IPCAM ?
Answer:
Configure motion detection from “Advanced Setting”Æ”Motion
Detection”Æ”Area 1”
Use the mouse to make the selection of motion detection block and
apply the “Enable” radio button.
- Page 94 -
The rest of the setting determines what actions will be taken by
SMC(snapshot, record) or IPCam device(send snapshot by email or
FTP, trigger DO) when motion alarm triggered.
- Page 95 -
Four parameters (Sensitivity / Object Size / Frame Interval / Alarm
Duration) need to configured before turning on the motion detection
function.
z Sensitivity:
This parameter determines the sensitivity of embedded motion
detector algorithm. The higher the value, the more sensible to the
motion object change.
- Page 96 -
z Object Size:
This parameter determines the pixel change percentage of motion
interest area. If more pixels(vs configured value) are justified and
declared as changed by embedded motion detector algorithm, motion
is reported by the device.
z Frame Interval:
The frame interval check the number of required video frames in a row
to confirm the motion condition. The smaller the value, the higher
motion probability.
z Alarm Duration:
The “Alarm Duration” parameter specifies period of interval to start
next motion detection. If one motion event is confirmed and declared,
it is required to wait for the time specified by “Alarm Duration” so that
the next motion event can be start to detect.
The motion detection parameters are configured via Windows client
SMC. The surveillance camera will save the setting in its own
permanent storage and start performing the motion monitoring task.
The parameters will be still effective after a device reboot.
Video Quality Setting
Category : SMC / Configuration / General
Question:
How can I configure the IPCAM to get the best of video quality ? What
factors may dominate the video quality of IPCAM perf orm ance ?
- Page 97 -
Answer:
The following configurable parameters have dominant effects on user
video quality feeling:
z Video Resolution
z Video Mode
z Bit Rate
z Frame Rate
z Quality
Those parameters are closely linked and there is a tradeoff between
setting of each parameters. For example, there is no guaranteed
setting to satisfy user (Bit Rate, Frame Rate, Quality) setting under
desired video resolution. The final effect also needs to take complexity
of live image coding into account. For example, a big scene change will
take more bitstream to reconstruct the image frame and thus more
network bandwidth is required.
1) Video Resolution:
The actual video resolution configured determines the viewable image
delivered by the surveillance camera.
CIF : 352 x 288
QCIF : 176 x 144
VGA : 640 x 480
- Page 98 -
QVGA : 320 x 240
D1 : 702 x 480
The higher resolution configuration makes surveillance camera codec
engine to pump out more bitstream data for reconstruction of image
frame in Windows client.
2) Video Mode
Leadtek surveillance camera supports 2 video mode for rate control,
i.e. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate(CBR). The VBR
setting honors the frame rate and qu ality setting and thus pump out as
much as bitstream to satisfy those 2 parameter setting(frame rate ,
quality). As dramatic scene change in surveillance camera side, you
will observe the running video bit-rate is going up(mostly out of user
bit rate control) to maintain the better frame rate and quality setting.
The CBR setting honors the bit rate setting and thus frame rate and
quality setting are sacrificed to maintain the consistent network
bandwidth usage.
3) Video Bit Rate
The video bit rate describes / pla ces an upper bound limit on how
much video bitstream will be ge nerated by codec engine. This
parameter is cross-related to video mode setting. Please also refer to
video mode setting for details.
4) Frame Rate
The frame rate parameter describes / places an upper bound limit on
how much video frame per second are generated by surveillance codec
engine. The actual frames received in Windows side may be lower than
user’s configuration due to network packet loss, congestion ,
computing power of PC and etc.
5) Video Quality
The quality parameter describes the quantization level of MPEG-4
macro block. User may observe the block / mosaic effect of video
image if the parameter setting is high. The lower the video quality
value the finer block will be observed on image reconstruction.

Running bitrate 214 k/ 28 fps
z CIF / VBR / 256 k / 30fps / 31
Running bit rate 138k / 28 fps
The blocked image will be observed on the image.
- Page 100 -
Scene with moving object
z CIF / CBR / 256 k / 30fps / 4
Running bit rate 284k / 8fps
The actual running frame rate is lower than 30 fps due to the
constraint of available network bandwidth.
