Introduction
This Chapter provides information of the WiFi IP Camera's features, components and capabilities.

Overview

Congratulations on the purchase of your new WiFi IP Camera. The WiFi IP Camera is a Day/Night WiFi IP Camera with 1080p resolution and 802.11ac WiFi connectivity. With built­in White Light LEDs, the WiFi IP Camera can provide illumination around 5 meters long under low light conditions in a simple, economical manner.
The WiFi IP Camera also comes with smart zoom feature, which allows images to be zoomed without losing picture quality. The central part of the picture is trimmed and enlarged without image processing.
Moreover, the duo-hinge and compact design of the camera can be extended from the wall and easily moved around, while still being firm enough to hold for odd angles.

Features

Standalone Design. The WiFi IP Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU and
Video encoder. It requires only a power source and a connection to your Wireless iHub.
Dual Video Support. The WiFi IP Camera can support H.264 and MJEPG video for
different image compression.
Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home, Business or
Public Facility surveillance, or just for entertainment and fun, the WiFi IP Camera has the features you need.
IR LED Support. Each WiFi IP Camera has two 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 on cloudy days, or in the morning or evening.
Smart Zoom Support. With its 16x (QHD) optical zoom, you can move closer without
taking a single step, and the pictures captured by the image sensor of the camera are enlarged without losing quality.

Wireless Features

Supports 802.11ac Wireless Standard. The 802.11ac standard provides backward
compatibility with the 802.11n standards. The WiFi IP Camera can work with all
802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations.
Supports WPS. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting you
WiFi IP Camera to your wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

LAN port
Use the provided RJ-45 USB cable to connect your WiFi IP Camera to a 10/100BaseT hub or switch.
Note:
Plugging in the RJ-45 USB cable will disable the Wireless
interface. Only 1 interface can be active at any time.
The RJ-45 USB cable should only be connected or disconnected
when the camera is powered OFF. Attaching or detaching the RJ-45 USB cable while the camera is powered on does NOT switch the interface between wired and wireless.
WPS/Reset Button
Push the WPS button on the device and on your other wireless 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 WiFi IP Camera will be in the WPS PBC mode (Auto link mode).
WPS Pin Code Mode. When pressed and held for over 3
seconds, the WiFi IP Camera will be in the WPS Pin Code mode.
Reset to manufacturer default valued and reboot. When
pressed and held over 10 seconds, the settings of WiFi IP Camera will be set to their default values.
