iViewHD Userʼs Manual

Introduction

iViewHD is a family of high resolution small form factor internet protocol (IP) cameras. The cameras provide both still JPEG and Motion-JPEG (MJPEG) images which are either viewable with a standard web browser or usable with a Network Video Recorder (NVR).

iViewHD cameras are powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE) which means that data and power are supplied via a single Ethernet cable. Power is provided by standard POE network switches or power injectors. Because the cameras use standard Ethernet cabling infrastructure (CAT5), they are ideal in environments where networking cabling is already installed. New installations are also easier than traditional video cameras, due to the use of a single cable for both power and video.

The cameras are conﬁgured using a standard web browser. Various camera parameters can be set up and saved using a web page. A live camera view is also available via the web interface. iViewHD has several levels of security available to help protect the camera against unwanted use.

For security applications, iViewHD will generally be used in conjunction with a Network Video Recorder (NVR). Due to its use of JPEG and MJPEG, it will work with most NVR software and hardware.

Quick Setup Procedure

This section presents a quick setup guide in conﬁguring the iViewHD camera. For a more detailed explanation, please consult the following sections of the manual

The iViewHD camera connects to a Power Over Ethernet (POE) network switch, such as the Netmedia POEmax or other suitable POE switch. The POE switch provides the network connectivity and power for the camera.

To conﬁgure the iViewHD camera:

1. Plug in an Ethernet cable to the POE switch:

2. Plug the the other end of the Ethernet cable into the iViewHD Camera. The orange LED next to

the RJ45 connector should illuminate. The red LED in front of the camera will light up and the camera should emit a series of beeps and you will probably see the green link activity light blinking:

3. Connect a computer to the same network as the camera.

iViewHD Userʼs Manual

4. Run a web browser on the computer which has Bonjour support enabled. Or for Windows

download and install the Standalone Bonjour Browser for Windows http://netmedia.com/iviewhd/downloads.html On the the Mac run the Safari browser which has Bonjour already built in. See appendix A (Al- ternate Ways to Locate an iViewHD Camera on the Network) which provides several options for locating an iViewHD camera.

5. Locate the camera using Bonjour. And double click on the camera name:

You can make adjustments to the default camera image on the main web page:

iViewHD Userʼs Manual

Conﬁguration and Setup

iViewHD uses Link Local and multicast DNS (also known as Bonjour) to advertise its presence on the network. You can use a Bonjour enabled web browser to locate an iViewHD camera and conﬁgure it. Some web browsers, such as Appleʼs Safari, have a built in Bonjour browser. Other web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, can have a Bonjour plug-in installed for them.

For Windows users, the easiest thing to do is download the Standalone Bonjour Browser at

http://netmedia.com/iviewhd/downloads.html

Once you run the Bonjour Browser, you will see a window similar to the following

You will need to select Web Server (HTTP) under Services because iViewHD acts as a Web Server. The iViewHD cameras are then displayed in the right most window and you can double click the

camera to launch your web browser.

In Safari the Bonjour browser can be selected by selecting the Collections icon on the Bookmarks bar:

iViewHD Userʼs Manual

There are other options also available for locating an iViewHD camera. See appendix A (Alternate Ways to Locate an iViewHD Camera on the Network) which provides several options for locating

an iViewHD camera, such as

Bonjour Browser for Windows (plugin)

•

Safari Browser for Windows

•

DHCP Server

•

ARP table modiﬁcation

•

In this section we will assume that you already have Bonjour installed and are running a Bonjour enabled browser or are running the standalone Bonjour Browser for Windows.

Each iViewHD has a unique name associated with it which you can change later on. The factory default name is in the form iViewHD-TT Camera (XXXXXX), where TT is either 2M for a 2 megapixel camera or D1 for a D1 camera. XXXXXX are the last 3 digits of the iViewHDʼs MAC address in hex. You can ﬁnd the MAC address on a label on the back of the camera:

Double clicking on the name will attempt to connect to the iViewHD main image control web page.

When your browser connects to iViewHD, you may be greeted with an authentication window requesting your username and password. iViewHD ships with this feature disabled, but if you see the
