Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides details of the Wireless Network HD Camera's features,
components and capabilities.
Overview
The Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera, an 802.11N Wireless
LAN.
Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the Wireless Network HD 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 LED, the Wireless IP camera can provide illumination
around 5 meters long under low light conditions in a simple, economical manner.
Figure 1: Wireless Network HD Camera
Features
Standalone Design. The Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera can support H.264 and MJEPG
video for different image compression.
1
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 Network HD
Camera has the features you need.
Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, HTTP and other Internet
related protocols, the Wireless Network HD Camera can be easily integrated into your
existing network.
IR LED Support. Each Wireless Network HD Camera has one infrared LED. The LED
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
Network HD 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 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.
Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera and a Web Server can share the
same Internet IP address.
NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Wireless Network HD
Camera to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the
time stamp on Video from the Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD 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.
Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Wireless Network HD Camera supports
either wired or wireless transmission.
2
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 Network HD Camera, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

degraded if the lens cover is dirty or smudged.
3. infrared LED
It is used to provide illumination for night time.
4. Microphone
The built-in microphone is useful for bi-direction voice
conversation.

device to perform WPS function that easily creates an encryptionsecured wireless connection automatically.
WPS PBC Mode. When pressed and released (less then 3
seconds), the Wireless Network HD Camera will be in the
WPS PBC mode (Auto link mode).
WPS Pin Code Mode. When pressed and held for over 3
seconds, the Wireless Network HD Camera will be in the
WPS Pin Code mode.
4. Reset Button
This button is recessed; you need a pin or paper clip can be used
to depress it. It can be activated at any time the camera is in the
"ready" mode.
Reset to manufacturer default valued and reboot. When
pressed and held over 10 seconds, the settings of Network
Camera will be set to their default values.
5. Power LED
(Green)
On - Power on.
Off - No power.
Blinking - The Power LED will blink during start up. This will
take 55 to 57 seconds.
6. Network LED

available.
Off - Wireless or LAN is not connected or camera is not
sending/receiving data.
Blinking (Green) - Data is being transmitted or received via the
LAN or Wireless connection.
On (Amber) - If the LED is on for 5 seconds and then off, the
WPS function is failed.
Blinking (Amber) - WPS function is being processed.
