To use the iPhone Viewer function, you might need more information or configuration to make this function work.

Note

That to use the iPhone Viewer function, it strongly recommends to install the

Networked Device with a public and fixed IP address without any firewall protection.

Dialing procedure:

1. Go to the iPhone’s Safari mobile browser.

2. Use the following URL to access:

http://host/ipcam.aspUH

http://192.168.0.20/ipcam.asp

e.g.

Where host is the host name or IP address of the IP camera.

3. After logged on, you should see the following panel on the screen.

1. View Screen The image shot by the camera is shown here.

2. Camera Setting Click this button to display the IP camera extra control panel.

3. P/T Control Click this button to display the P/T control panel.

Add channel:

1. Click “Setting” and then “Camera Setting” buttons to get into “Camera Setting” page.

2. This will add as a new channel on iPhone Viewer for viewing. You will be prompted to input the following:

¾ Camera Name: The IP camera’s name that you would like to create. Example: “Bedroom” ¾ IP Address: The camera’s IP address. ¾ Port: The http port of the IP camera (Default is “80”). ¾ User Name: The administrative account that the IP camera uses (Default is “admin”) ¾ Password: The administrative password that the IP camera uses (Default is “password”)

3. Click “Add” to insert the IP camera in the viewer. In the meantime, you can click “Preview” first to check it out for proper streaming and connection.

Camera Advanced Setting:

You can click on the “Advanced” button into the advanced page of IP camera, and this allow user to change the stream frame rate, resolution and compression level.

Viewer Setting:

The device could provide multiple languages to meet customer’s requirement, user can manual change the viewer language.

Note

Besides IP camera and mobile phone. You will also need to make sure the ISP and telephone company has provided the 3GPP service to you.

Appendix C: 5BPING IP Address

The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very useful tool to confirm IP camera installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other devices over the network.

If you want to make sure the IP address of IP camera, utilize the PING command as follows:

Start a DOS window.

Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the IP camera.

The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.

If you want to detect any other devices conflicts with the IP address of IP camera, also can utilize the PING command but you must disconnect the IP camera from the network first.

Appendix D: 6BDDNS Application

1. Preface

If you have a Cable modem or xDSL, this is a great way to host your own Networked Device or other TCP/IP Service. Get your own domain like www.yourname.com, www.yourname.com.tw etc. (Note: This domain must be registered with Internic via registration authorities such as Network Solutions, DirectNIC, Register.com etc). Your domain name's dynamic IP address is automatically tracked by a DDNS server.

Host your own Networked Device and much more no matter what your computer's IP address may be and even if you have dialup, DSL or cable modem internet connection where your computer's IP address changes all the time!! DDNS service supports all top level domain names including but not limited to .com, .net, .org, .to, .uk etc.

2. Ethernet Network Environment

Normally, DDNS service is only necessary for the users that could only obtain dynamic IP addresses. As to the users that could obtain the static valid IP address, they do not usually have to apply the DDNS service. Before we decide if DDNS is necessary for the users, we have to check what kind of Ethernet network environment we have to install our Networked Device on.

(1) Environment of Fixed Valid IP Network

If users could obtain valid IP addresses, they could save the effort to apply DDNS service. Because the IP address in this environment is fixed, users could input the IP address or domain name of demo site directly in the IE browser.

(2) Environment of Dynamic IP Network

If users is under an environment of dynamic IP network (Dial-up xDSL), they have to apply a domain name in advance. Then apply DDNS service. Finally setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE of the Networked Device in order to let the outside administrator be able to access through internet.

3. Application Steps – DDNS & Domain Name

(1). Visit the following web site:

(2). Click “Account”

http://www.dyndns.org/U

(3). After the columns show up at the left side, click “Create Account”.

(4). Fill the application agreement and necessary information.

a. Username

b. E-mail address and confirmation

c. Password and confirmation

d. Submit all the input information and finish creating an account

Check the options

(5). Check your e-mail mailbox. There will be an e-mail with a title “Your DynDNS Account

Information“. Click the hyperlink address to confirm the DDNS service that you just applied. Then DDNS you applied activated.

Click to confirm

(6). Enter the web page

http://www.dyndns.org/UH again. Input your username and password

that you just applied to login administration interface of DDNS server.

Input your account

(7). If the correct username and password are input, you can see the following picture at

the top-right of the login page.

(8). Click the “My Services”.

(9). Click the “ Add Hostname”.

Click on the link

(11). We could create a domain name without any charge at this step. First, we input the

host name. (No.1) Then we pick a domain that is easy to remember. Finally (No.2), input you current IP address (No.3) then click on the bottom of “Add To Cart” button to submit the domain name information.

4. Setup the DDNS and PPPoE of network device

At last, users have to enter the web page of Networked Device and setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE after the application of DDNS service. Please check the user manual to access the DDNS and PPPoE pages. After saving the modification, restart the device. The external users could browse the Networked Device by the input of their domain name.

Appendix E:

Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions

If the IP camera is not working properly, before you contact the dealer of purchase for help,

please check the troubleshooting list here, this may help you to solve the problem by yourself

and therefore saves your valuable time.

Features

I can not connect to IP

camera

A.) Please confirm the IP address setting of the computer you’re

using. If they’re not in the same subnet, they will not be able to

communicate with each other.

B.) Please make the IP address you used to connect to the IP camera

is correct.

C.) If you forget the IP address of the IP camera, you will have to

reset it to factory default value (which is 192.168.0.20) by pressing

‘reset’ button at the bottom of the IP camera. You’ll need a pen or

pin to be able to press the reset button. Press and hold reset

button for 5 seconds, then try to connect to the IP camera with IP

address ‘192.168.0.20’ again.

D.) Please make sure IP camera is correctly powered (the ‘Power’

by a slow Internet connection, and it’s not a problem caused by

camera. However, when the network connection is slow, you

should use lower frame rate / resolution.

D.) Adjust the antenna if you’re using wireless connection. The

antenna should be perpendicular to the ground to get best

reception, and the distance between IP camera and computer /

wireless access point should not be too far.

E.) Try to adjust ‘MTU’ setting if you’re using PPPoE to connect to

Internet. Ask your ISP or network administrator for detailed

instruction.

IP camera is not

responding

Image is fuzzy

A.) Is the network cable or wireless connection disconnected? Please

check it.

be logged, and this may give you some clue on how to solve the

problem.

E.) Change the threshold to a more sensitive setting.

I heard strange sound

when I use pan / tilt

function

Nothing is heard at the

camera side when I use

‘Speak to IPCam’

function

A.) Please check if anything jams the camera, remove it.

B.) If the camera does not respond to you when you’re trying to use
