Linksys Business Internet Video Cameras provide high quality monitoring system that can be
optimized for many different applications. This guide instructs you how to use the camera
monitoring system and recording technology on your PC, which allows you to easily monitor
and record video.
This section includes the following topics:
•”Before You Begin,” on page 1
•”System Requirements,” on page 2
•”What’s In This Guide?” section on page 3
Before You Begin
This document assumes that you have your camera or cameras previously installed and
configured. For installation instructions, see
the User Guide, and the Datasheet for your particular Linksys camera model.
www.linksys.com for the Quick Installation Guide,
The following Linksys cameras use the video monitoring software described in this document:
•PVC2300—Linksys Business Internet Video Camera with Audio and POE
•WVC2300—Wireless-G Linksys Business Internet Video Camera with Audio
•WVC210—Linksys Business Internet Video Camera with Audio
Please check www.linksys.com for compatibility if your camera is not included in this list.
Camera Installation Guidelines
Consider the following guidelines before installing and mounting your cameras. While the
detection window and the degree of sensitivity can be optimized later, it is best to optimize
your camera location first.
•Choose a location that provides adequate coverage of the area to be monitored.
•The Linksys IP cameras have a built-in microphone. If using the microphone in the camera,
note that the cameras are designed to pick up audio from a distance (unlike a web camera
that you would place near you.)
•Two-way audio requires an external speaker to be attached to the camera. If using an
external microphone or speaker, place the microphone far enough away from the speaker
to avoid feedback. The volume of the speaker and the background noise of the
environment will determine the exact distance, possibly up to one yard away.
•Cameras mounted outdoors should be installed in an IP66-certified enclosure to protect the
camera from the elements, while maintaining acceptable operating temperatures. If an
enclosure is used, an external microphone is required for audio.
Linksys Video Monitoring System User Guide1
Getting Started
System Requirements
•If using motion detection, consider potential sources of false positives, such as trees and
shrubs, drastic light changes, wandering animals, and traffic.
•Consider any wiring that you may need to do before installing the camera. You may want to
connect the camera to devices such as:
–sirens
–passive infrared (PIR) sensors
–smoke detectors
–lighting controls (on/off)
–door sensors
–alarms
•If using a wireless camera, a wireless-enabled device (such as an WRVS4400N Wireless-N
Gigabit Security Router with VPN or a Linksys One Ready WAP2000 RangeBooster Wireless
Access Point) is required to provide connectivity to the camera.

limited to one path per partition drive. For example, you may not set two or more paths in
the same C:/ or D:/ drive, or two or more paths in one partition in a network storage unit.
•Automatic Recycle—Automatically deletes the earliest defined recycle range in the
configured storage. For example, if your storage space is 30 Gb (which equals
approximately 72 hours at 640x480, 10 FPS) and your Recycle Range is set for “6 hours,” the
Linksys Video Monitoring System deletes the first 6 recorded hours once the recording gets
close to using up the full storage space.
•Keep Video—Keeps the recordings for the defined number of days. Only “0” or a positive
number of days is allowed. When “0” (day) is entered, it means the video is only kept the day
of the recording. If Automatic Recycle and Keep Video are both enabled, the recording is
kept for the defined number of days and the earliest hours/days in the range are deleted. If
your storage space is less than what is set in Keep Video, the Linksys Video Monitoring
System falls back to deleting the defined range set in Automatic Recycle, ignoring the days
set in Keep Video.
•Keep System Log—Deletes the system log data that is older than the number of days set.
Only “0” or a positive number of days is allowed. When “0” (day) is entered, it means the log
is only kept the day of the recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras can I monitor? How many people can monitor a camera?
You can monitor up to 16 cameras at one time. Each camera can be monitored by up to 10
different computers at the same time. When the 11th user tries to access the camera, that user
will receive a message that indicates the maximum number of viewers has been reached. (One
computer can also be set to monitor the same camera multiple times, up to the maximum of
10.)
Can I monitor cameras at other sites within my multi-site network?
Yes. The Linksys Video Monitoring System can be accessed from a remote location.
Can I place the camera in an enclosure?
The compact design of the PVC2300 and WVC2300 cameras allow them to be placed in a
protective enclosure for exterior or interior installations. IP66-certified enclosures are
recommended. Any camera enclosure should have sufficient ventilation and cooling to ensure
that the camera stays within its environmental operating parameters.
My camera doesn't show up when do a search in settings/camera. But I can see the
camera is working by logging into the IP address of the camera.
The camera must have UPnP enabled to be detected by the Linksys Video Monitoring System.
Using a browser, login to the camera and verify that UPnP is enabled.
I save all of my videos in C:\My Documents\videos, but I can't play any of these files.
The Linksys Video Monitoring System stores all recorded data in a proprietary format. For video
to be shared and viewed on common media players, the video must first be saved in a standard
compression format. The choices of format are ASF and AVI. See
information.
I setup my recording schedule to record on motion. When I playback recordings, I don't
see any motion. Why is the application recording?
Motion detection can be triggered by changes in lighting (such a clouds or sunset/sunrise).
While no objects are physically moving in the video, the camera has detected changes which
triggers the recording. You can adjust motion detection settings by changing the sensitivity
and frame interval settings. See
information.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Linksys Video Monitoring System User Guide58
Software Licenses:
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights
or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can
get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
Linksys Video Monitoring System User Guide59
Software Licenses:
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from
the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on
what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it,
in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed
the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains
or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that
there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work
are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections
when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part
of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the
terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and
thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative
or collective works based on the Program.
Linksys Video Monitoring System User Guide60
Software Licenses:
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object
code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for
a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer,
in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place
counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy
the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
Linksys Video Monitoring System User Guide61
Software Licenses:
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royaltyfree redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right
claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
Linksys Video Monitoring System User Guide62
Software Licenses:
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE
OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
