Introduction
As broadband communication gets more and more popular, it becomes easier to
transfer video and audio through network. The ICA-102 family provides an advanced
Internet Camera solution, supporting wired or wireless Ethernet networking. The ICA102/102W can be placed wherever there is a wired/wireless LAN or an available
xDSL/Cable modem connection, and the ICA-102 family also supports DDNS. Even
when your gateway does not support DDNS, it can still co-operate with the ICA-102
family and provide live images to Internet users.
The ICA-102 family uses advanced MPEG-4 video compression technology. An advanced microcomputer is integrated into this camera to digitize live video, and then
compress the video stream using MPEG-4. The high compression capabilities of
MPEG-4 reduce network bandwidth requirements to amazingly low levels. With their
Plug-N-Watch capability, a network administrator or system operator can seamlessly
complete network deployment in just minutes!
ICA-102/ICA-102W Features
Features
· Standalone Design.
The ICA-102/102W Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU and Video
encoder. It requires only a power source and a connection to your LAN or Wireless LAN.
· Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities.
Whether for Home, Business or Public Facility surveillance, or just for entertainment and fun, the ICA-102/102W Camera has the features you need.
· Multi-Protocol Support.
Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and other Internet related
protocols; the ICA-102/102W can be easily integrated into your existing network.
· Easy Configuration.
A Windows-based Wizard is provided for initial setup. Subsequent administration
and management can be performed using a standard web browser. The administrator can configure and manage the ICA-102/102W Camera via the LAN or
Internet.
· Viewing/Recording Utility.
A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for viewing live video. For periods when
you are absent, or for scheduled recording, this application also allows you to record video to an ASF file on your PC. The recorded files are in a standard
Windows Media format, and thus usable by a wide variety of programs if required.
· Motion Detection.
This feature will send you an E-mail when motion is detected. The ICA-102/102W
Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the
movement of large objects. This function only works indoors due to the sensitivity
of the CMOS sensor. If desired, a short video can be included as an attachment to
the E-mail.
· Audio Support.

Internet Camera User Guide
With the built-in microphone or an external microphone attached, audio can be recorded with live images.
Internet Features
· User-definable HTTP port number.
This allows Internet Gateways to use “port mapping” so the ICA-102/102W Camera and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP address.
· DDNS Support.
In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet IP address
of the gateway used by the ICA-102/102W Camera. But if the Gateway has a dynamic IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing
Gateways do not support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the ICA102/102W Camera.
· NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support.
NTP allows the ICA-102/102W Camera to calibrate its internal clock from an
Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the ICA102/102W Camera will be correct.
Security Features
· User Authentication.
If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users. Users will have to
enter their username and password before being able to view the video stream.
Up to 20 users can be entered.
· Password-Protected Configuration.
Configuration data can be password protected, so that it only be changed by the
ICA-102/102W Camera Administrator.
Wireless Features (ICA-102W only)
· Standards Compliant.
The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for
Wireless LANs.
· Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
The 802.11g standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
· Speeds to 54Mbps.
All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported.
· Wired and Wireless Network Support.
The ICA-102W Camera supports both wired and wireless transmission.
· WEP Support.
Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided.

Initial Setup
Preparation
The initial setup of ICA-102 series must be done through bundled Setup Wizard utility.
Before starting installation, please ensure that:
· Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Internet Camera. The PC and
the Internet Camera must be directly connected (using the LAN port on the Internet Camera) or on the same LAN segment. That is, the PC must be configured to
an IP address and subnet mask in 192.168.0.x segment. For example: IP:
192.168.0.2, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.
· The Internet Camera must be installed and powered ON.
· If the Internet Camera's default IP Address (192.168.0.20) is already used by
another device, the other device must be turned OFF until the Internet Camera is
allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
