Operating Instructions

1.1 Getting to Know Network Camera

1.1.1 Main Features

Wireless Communication

Network Camera corresponds to the wireless system based on IEEE 802.11b. Wireless installation will play an increasing role in flexible mounting. Communication via Ethernet Encryption establishes the security on the wireless network.

Splash Resistant body

Network Camera has a splash resistant body. The splash resistant body allows Network Camera to be used indoors and outdoors. Note that the attached AC adaptor is intended for indoor use only. Refer to page 96 for Outdoor Cabling and Mounting.

Easy installation

Setup CD-ROM simplifies the installation. Insert the Setup CD-ROM and autorun program should start the application automatically. This program automatically finds Network Camera on the network.

(10Base-T) cable is also available.

High-Speed Motion JPEG

Network Camera has an integrated web server. Motion JPEG displays up to 15 frames per second, if the network provides enough bandwidth. To conserve bandwidth, JPEG - Regularly Refresh can be selected from Top Page. Image Resolution, Image Quality, Refresh interval, Limit time of Continuous Motion

JPEG and On the Air time features can control the image field.

Remote Pan/Tilt

Pan/Tilt operation can move the lens 120° horizontally and 45° vertically. This

movable lens allows you to see the situation widely where the object is. Operation bar has Preset Positioning and Home Positioning features to register fixed positions. Clicking the preset buttons moves the lens to the preset positions you want to view. Single Camera screen has Click to Center feature too. The object on Single Camera screen can be centered by clicking on the image directly.

Operating Instructions

Multi-Camera Screen

Using Multi-Camera screen you can simultaneously view up to four Network Cameras at various locations. Clicking on each Camera Name switches to the Single Camera screen from the Multi-Camera screen.

Multi-Client Access

NetworkCameraallowsupto30userstoviewMotionJPEGimage simultaneously. Users can access the Top View Image screen (Single Camera/ Multi-Camera screen) from their own locations. Note that as the number of users simultaneously connected to Network Camera increases, the overall motion performance will decrease.

External I/O (Input/Output)

The external sensors/devices such as a door sensor can be connected via the External Sensor Input. The external sensors/devices are customer provided. The alarm/timer trigger can activate the Image Transfer feature, which can send the images via e-mail or FTP (File Transfer Protocol). External Device Control Output can send a signal to activate the external devices such as a light around Network Camera.

Update Firmware

If new firmware is released, you can download the latest program from Network Camera Technical Support Site. Installation is easy and fast. Refer to page 91 for details.

Authentication

Authentication window requires you to enter the administrator/general user ID

and password. Password security can prevent unregistered users/intruders from accessing your image from their web browsers. Refer to Section

1.1.3 Authentication—System Security Feature for details.

Multi-Language Display

Top Page, Single Camera screen and Multi-Camera screen can be displayed in English (US), English (UK), French, German, Italian, Spanish or Japanese. All Setup windows are also changed when selecting English (US), English (UK) or Japanese.

2.4 Network Parameters

2.4.1 Preparing the Network Parameters for Network Camera

Before starting to set up the network parameters of Network Camera, make note of corresponding network parameters.

[Typ e 1] Ask your network administrator for the network parameters.

[Typ e 2] Refer to the broadband router’s manual for the network parameters.

[Typ e 3] Ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for the network parameters.

[Typ e 4] Install Network Camera in the default condition. Set the PC

"192.168.0.250" (IP address) and "255.255.255.0" (Subnet Mask). Refer to page 24.

Refer to page 22 and page 23 for network parameters.

Network parameters memo for Network Camera

The devices on the network may not be assigned the same IP address. Each device must have its own IP address. Overlapped IP addresses can cause other network devices to stop working and may result in widespread network problems.

When you use more than one Network Camera with a broadband router, each

Network Camera needs its own port number. The broadband router needs the Port Forwarding feature. Refer to page 37.

Refer to the broadband router's manual for the Port Forwarding feature.

When you use Network Camera in DHCP feature, check [DHCP] and enter the

Host Name if your ISP requires. If you automatically get the address of Default Gateway and DNS server from DHCP server, you do not need to set up.

Verify that your ISP supports DHCP. If your ISP supports DHCP, or if you

assign a domain name to Network Camera, you need to contract and register for DDNS service. Refer to the included leaflet for DDNS service. If you set static global IP address to Network Camera and the broadband router, you do not need to register DDNS service.
