How to Access Web Configuration
To access the camera’s live view, open a Web browser and enter the IP address
of the camera. The login window will pop up requesting a user name and
password. The default user name and password are “admin” and “admin.” For
accounts other than the administrator’s account, remember the password for
future convenience.
NOTE:
If you don’t have a DHCP server in the network, the default Camera
IP address is 192.168.1.254.

Live Viewing
Live Viewing is the default page that opens when you access the camera. Live
video is displayed directly in the browser window.
Physical Details
Channels
The network camera offers simultaneous dual stream for optimized quality
and bandwidth. Go to Configuration → Camera/Video/Audio → Video to
configure the codec compression and video resolution or refer to the video
configuration page.
Protocol
UDP - This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams.
However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and
images may be broken. The UDP connection time-sensitive responses are
more important than video quality.
NOTE:
Camera Control Panel is only available when you are using
Windows Internet Explorer.
Camera Control Panel - Icons
/
Recording on/off - displays the status of the recording video.
/ MIC on /off - displays the status of the microphone volume.
/ Speaker on/off - displays the status of the speaker.
/ MD on/off - displays the status of Motion Detection.
Camera Control Panel - Buttons
Play or Stop - play or stop the video.
Recording - record video to a computer.
Snapshot - capture and save still images.
Digital Zoom - enable the zoom operation.
Mirror - horizontally reflect the live video display.
HTTP - This unicast method can be used to traverse firewalls. Firewalls are
commonly configured to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be
tunneled.
TCP - This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and
provides better video quality. The downside of using this protocol is that the
quality of its real-time effect is less than that of the UDP protocol.
Flip - vertically reflect the live video display.
Real Size - toggle between real size and normal mode.
Full Screen - enable full screen mode; press the Esc key to return to normal mode.
Motion Detection - enable the motion detection alert function.
Mute - turn off the sound.
Default - restore default settings.

Configuration
Click the Configuration tab on the main page to change the camera settings.
NOTE:
Only administrators can access the Configuration tab.
Camera Settings
Manual - Control exposure yourself.
Advanced AE Setting
Flicker-Free - Eliminates flicker.
Environment - Select outdoor or indoor mode.
AE Speed - Automatically control exposure speed.
De-Noise - Set on range from 1 to 3, with 3 giving the best video resolution. Set
to auto to have camera automatically filter the frame-to-frame defects.
Mirror and Flip
Mirror - Enable to horizontally reflect the display of the live video.
Flip - Enable to vertically reflect the display of the live video.
IR Cut (Only available with models with a IR-Cut) - Deactivate or activate the
IR cut filter.
Color Effect - Select color or black-and-white video streams.
White Balance -
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) - In a scene with extremely bright and dark areas
or in backlit situations where a person is in front of a bright window, a typical
camera would produce an image where objects in the dark areas would hardly
be visible. Wide dynamic range solves this by applying techniques such as
using different exposures for different objects in a scene to enable objects in
both bright and dark areas to be visible.
Adjusts for different types of lighting to capture accurate colors.
Camera Settings
Profile - Up to five profiles can be created for different lighting environments.
Day and night are default profiles. You can create up to three additional profiles.
Select a profile from the drop-down menu or select different icons to change
profile settings.
Brightness - Drag the bar to adjust the image brightness level from -5 to +5.
Contrast - Drag the bar to adjust the image contrast level from -5 to +5.
Sharpness - Drag the bar to adjust the image sharpness level from -5 to +5.
Saturation - Drag the bar to adjust the image saturation level from -5 to +5.
Exposure Control
Auto - The camera will automatically control exposure.
Profile Management
You can schedule profiles to change at specific times, or when lighting
conditions change.

Configuration
Always - Use a single profile selected from the drop-down menu.
Day & Night - Schedule separate profiles for day and night. Select profiles from
the drop-down menus.
Schedule - Schedule specific time periods for different profiles.
Digital Inputs (Only available with models with a DI/DO) - Profiles will be
managed by an external sensor. Select profiles from the drop down menu.
Profiles will change according to different trigger voltage levels.
Video Settings
The network camera offers two separate streams for different viewing options.
Wide Angle View - Captures a greater view angle.
Stream
Video Codec - Three choices of video codec standards for real-time viewing:
H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG.
Video Resolution - Choose the best resolution recording settings.
Frame Rate - Set a higher frame rate for smoother video quality.
Bitrate Mode - Select Variable Bitrate to manually configure the bitrate. Select
Constant Mode to have the bitrate set by the video codec. Set the bitrate higher
for better quality

Linksys
Configuration
Quality - Video quality can be set in the range from Level 1 to Level 6, with
Level 6 producing the best image quality.
Recording Stream - Select the stream you like to record when a scheduled
event occurs.
Video Overlay
Timestamp - To display the date and time on the screen during live view, check
the Position check box to enable the timestamp function and select the display
position from the drop-down menu.
Text - To make a note about the camera, check the Position box to Enable and
select the display position from the drop-down menu. Enter a description in
the text box.
NOTE:
The video overlay only applies to Stream 1.
If DIGEST authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5
algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.
RTCP Mode
Without SR - RTCP without SR (Sender Report) is the default option. Audio
and video received from the network camera are played immediately and
independent of each other.
RTCP with SR - RTCP with SR allows synchronization between video and
audio during live viewing. Choose this option if audio and video become
unsynchronized.
Audio Settings
The administrator can set up two separate streams for different viewing
devices. The administrator can enable or disable the audio function on either
stream. If audio is enabled, select the Audio codec from the drop-down menu.
RTSP Server
To utilize RTSP authentication, you must first set a password for the camera.
RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media.
By default the port number is 554.
Authentication - Depending on the network security requirements, the camera
provides two types of authentication for streaming via RTSP: NONE and DIGEST.
Advanced Settings
Camera Speaker - If the speaker is enabled, select the volume from the dropdown menu.
Echo Cancellation Enabled - Enable to avoid an echo.

Privacy Mask Control
Privacy Mask - Remotely disables live view and recording. Configure the
privacy windows for up to three individual windows or for the full screen.
Preset Point
NOTE:
(Only available with models with a RS485 interface) – Preset Point
only works if a pan-tilt scanner is connected to the camera’s RS485
interface. This feature can ONLY be displayed correctly on Internet
Explorer.
How to create a preset position
1.
Use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera view to
the required position.
2. Enter a position name and click Add.
3. The camera position and focus settings will be saved as a preset position.
NOTE:
A total of sixteen preset positions can be set.
Preset positions can be accessed at any time by selecting the position’s name
from the Preset Positions drop-down list. Set a Home position, which is readily
accessible by clicking the Home in the PTZ panel.
NOTE:
The name of the preset point set as Home will have (H) added; for
example, Gate (H).
The camera can be configured to return to the Home position when the camera
has been idle for a specified length of time. Select the desired length of time (in
minutes) from the drop-down menu and click Apply. Setting the time to zero
prevents the camera from automatically returning to the Home position.
A preset position is a pre-defined camera view that can be used to quickly
move the camera view to a specific location.
