Introduction
This Chapter provides details of the Wireless HD IP Camera's features,
components and capabilities.
Overview
The Wireless HD IP Camera has an Integrated Microcomputer and a high quality Mega Pixel
Omni Vision CMOS Sensor, enabling it to display high quality live streaming video over your
wired LAN, the Internet, and for the Wireless HD IP Camera, an 802.11N Wireless LAN.
Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the Wireless HD IP Camera is able to stream high quality
video and audio directly to your PC. The high compression capabilities of H.264 reduce
network bandwidth requirements to amazingly low levels.
Furthermore, with the built-in infrared LEDs, the Wireless IP camera can provide illumination
around 5 meters long under low light conditions in a simple, economical manner.

Features
• Standalone Design. The Wireless HD IP 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.
•Dual Video Support. The Wireless HD IP Camera can support H.264 and MJEPG video
for different image compression.
•Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The video encoder and HTTP server built into
the camera generate a ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the camera using your
Web browser to view live video.

•Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home, Business or
Public Facility surveillance, or just for entertainment and fun, the Wireless HD IP Camera
has the features you need.
•Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and
other Internet related protocols, the Wireless HD IP Camera can be easily integrated into
your existing network.
•IR LEDs Support. Each Wireless HD IP Camera has 6 infrared LEDs . The LEDs can
provide illumination around 5 meters long, that can help to output a better video quality
while under low-light conditions such as indoors, on cloudy days, or in the morning or
evening.
• Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The Wireless HD
IP 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.
When motion is detection, an E-mail alert can be sent, or some other action may be
triggered.
•Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specified times using
a flexible scheduling system. The Motion Detection feature can also have its own schedule,
so it is active only when required.
• SD Card Slot. With the slot, you can insert the SD card to store recording files.
• Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Wireless HD IP Camera can send its
log data to your Syslog Server.
•Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if
desired. With built-in microphone, it is useful for bi-direction voice conversation.
•Day/Night Switch. With the day/night switching feature, you are able to view and record
better images even in the dark of night.
Internet Features
•User-definable HTTP/HTTPS port number. This allows Internet Gateways to use
"port mapping" so the Wireless HD IP 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 Wireless HD IP 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 Wireless HD IP Camera.
•NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Wireless HD IP Camera to
calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp
on Video from the Wireless HD IP 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.
•Password-Protected Configuration. Configuration data can be password protected, so
that it only can be changed by the Wireless HD IP Camera Administrator.
Wireless Features
•Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n standard provides for backward
compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless
stations can be used simultaneously.
2
•Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Wireless HD IP Camera supports either
wired or wireless transmission.
• WEP Support. Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided.
• WPA/WPA2 Support. The WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal standard is also supported,
allowing advanced encryption of wireless data.
•WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the
Wireless HD IP Camera, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

However, viewing video is still possible by logging in as the Administrator.
Figure 9: Controlling User Access
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details about using the Video Access and
User Database screens.
17
Making Video available from the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and
Broadband modem, you can make the Wireless HD IP Camera available via the Internet. You
will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the
camera.
Router/Gateway Setup
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from
Internet Viewers) to the Wireless HD IP Camera. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number
to determine which incoming connections are intended for the Wireless HD IP Camera.
This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below.
The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP
connections on port 1024 should be passed to the Wireless HD IP Camera. If necessary, check
the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.
Figure 10: Connecting via the Internet
The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry
above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the
Network screen of the Wireless HD IP Camera.
18
Wireless HD IP Camera Setup
The Wireless HD IP Camera configuration does NOT have to be changed, unless:
• You wish to change the port number from the default value.
• You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Wireless HD IP Camera.
HTTPS Port Configuration
Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Wireless HD IP Camera uses HTTP,
but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Wireless
HD IP Camera. This port is called the Secondary Port.
The default HTTP/HTTPS Secondary Port is 1024/1025. If you prefer to use a different port
number, you can specify the port number on the Wireless HD IP Camera's Network screen, as
shown below.
Figure 11: Network Screen
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network screen.
Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect
and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the
correct port number.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a
domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then
apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS screen of the Wireless HD IP
Camera.
3. Both Router and Camera should use the same port number for DDNS service.
