Pan/Tilt IP Camera
1. Introduction
The Pan/Tilt IP Camera is designed with the “user-friendly” idea deep in mind. The
user can install the IP camera easily on his/her home network and then access the IP
Camera anywhere in the world through the accompanied video management software
- CamView program without setting some complicated DNS name or changing the
router’s settings. It’s just a plug & play action.
With pan/tilt support, users can monitor the video in a much larger viewing angle
range.
For indoor surveillance and remote monitoring, the IP camera provides the best
image quality in its class, and excellent performance. The Pan/Tilt IP Camera also
provides the best bandwidth efficiency, it offers 640x480 resolution, 30 fps frame rate,
real MPEG4 image compression ability. The built-in microphone enables remote
users to not only view, but also listen for additional monitoring options.
With 3GPP/ISMA support, users can see the video of the IP camera on any 3G
mobile phone anywhere, anytime. The big difference is that there is software for
downloading to the mobile phone so that the fixed IP address is not needed for the IP
camera. The video settings including frame rate, resolution and bandwidth could be
different for PC monitoring and mobile viewing. With pan/tilt support, users can
monitor the video in a much larger viewing angle range.
The NAS storage function can easily turn any NAS device to a NVR device. The
schedule function provides full scheduling of email/ftp sending, motion detection and
NAS recording event. With the built-in Web server, the IP Cameras can also be
managed from a standard web browser on a Windows computer. With the ActiveX
support, users can also see the video display on the Windows IE browser.
The Pan/Tilt IP Camera provides both wireless IEEE 802.11 b/g and wired Ethernet
network interfaces for flexible installation. It supports the WEP and WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) security modes to provide the best security for wireless networks.
The Pan/Tilt IP Camera provides motion detection function. Users can easily setup
this function and receive the notification with the snapshot images through email
and/or ftp when some motion events are detected.
The Pan/Tilt IP camera is ideal for securing small businesses, home offices and
residences over a local area network and/or the Internet.
The differences
It’s very easy to see the video of the Pan/Tilt IP Camera, you only need to key in
the ID/Password of the IP CAM any where in the world, you do not need to remember
6
Pan/Tilt IP Camera
the IP address or domain name or DDNS name or port number. And you do not need
to modify the settings(like port mapping, fixed IP, DDNS, virtual server) of the
NAT/router devices, it’s just a plug & play usage.
So, the differences are the followings:
♦ Public IP address needed ? No
♦ Dynamic DNS needed ? No
♦ Port mapping in router? No
♦ Virtual server in router ? No
♦ UPnP support in router ? No
♦ What’s needed ? ID and Password

2. Hardware description and quick installation/usage
The IP CAM is designed to be very easy to install and use. First, let’s see the
major components of the IP CAM products.
2.1. Major hardware components.
The major components on the front panel of the IP CAM products are the built-in
microphone, lens and LEDs :
1. Microphone – for receiving the audio/voice. Effective distance is about 5 meters.
2. Lens – the lens is inside the mask and the focus of the lens is fixed, you do not
need to spend time to adjust the focus, the effective focus range is from 30cm to
infinity.
3. Status indication LED (red) – this LED is to indicate the Internet connect ion status.
When the Internet connection is connected, the LED will be constant red light. If
there is any Internet connection problem, the LED will be blinking red light.
4. Ethernet indication LED (blue) – this LED is to indicate if the Ethernet link is ok
and packet traffic is sending/receiving. When the Ethernet cable is connected, the
LED is constant blue light. When there is packet sending/receiving, the LED is
blinking blue light.
Figure 2-1: Major components in the front panel
The major components on the back panel of th e IP CAM products are the bracket
screw jack, power jack, Ethernet jack and reset button:

2.2. Quick installation and usage
There are only three things that you need to do to see the video from the IP CAM.
1. Connect the IP CAM to the home/office network.
2. Install the CamView software on the notebook/PC.
3. Key in the ID/password of the IP CAM(from the ID/Password card) on the
CamView, and then you can see the video.
First, Connect the IP CAM to the home/office network
Please connect the IP CAM accessaries to the IP CAM body correctly, including
the power adapter and Ethernet cable, as shown in Figure 2-3. And connect the other
end of the Ethernet cable to the home network or office network. Usually, this Ethernet
cable is plugged into a home NAT/router device or an Ethernet switch if in the office,
as shown in Figure 2-4. Since the default settings of the IP CAM use DHCP function
and very often there is a DHCP server on most of the Home/office network, the IP
9

2.3. Wireless connection
The IP CAM can also be connected to the home/office network through the
802.11 b/g wireless connection. There are only three things that you need to do to
have the wireless connection:
1. Set the WiFi security settings on the web configuration page.
2. Test if the WiFi settings are correct.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable.
First, set the WiFi security settings on the web configuration page.
Make sure there is a WiFi router or AP on your home or office network. Write
down the WiFi security parameters used in this WiFi AP/router, including the SSID ,
security mode, encryption protocols and the “key” values. The supported WiFi security
mode of the IP CAM is WEP(64 bits and 128 bits) and WPA-PSK(TKIP and AES). In
most of the home/office WiFi environment, this is quite enough.
The easiest way to set the WiFi settings on the IP CAM is through CamView
software. Right-click the searched IP CAM in the “Auto Search” list and click the “Web
Configure” to open the login window of the IP CAM. Fill in all the WiFi security
parameters you have written down. The WiFi configuration is complete now.
Please refer to section 3.4 for more detailed description if needed
.
Second, test if the WiFi settings are correct
You can now test if the above WiFi settings are correct. Click the “WiFi test” on
the “WiFi Security” settings web page. The testing result will be displayed in less than
60 seconds. If the test is failed, please check the WiFi security parameters and test
again.
Third, unplug the Ethernet cable
If the WiFi test is successful, you can then enable the WiFi connection by
unplugging the Ethernet cable from the IP CAM. The IP CAM will detect the Ethernet
cable unplugged condition and start the WiFi connection. After the WiFi is connected,
the IP CAM will connect to the Internet immediately.
Notice :
1. Please remember that the WiFi connection will use a different IP address, you will
need to do the “Auto Search” function in the CamView again to find the IP CAM
again after the WiFi is connected.
2. If you want to switch back to the wired Ethernet connection, just plug in the
Ethernet cable into the IP CAM again. Do not need to disable the WiFi function on
the web pages.
