Chapter II Using Network IP Camera by Web

Interface

2-1 Locate the IP address of IP Camera Module

You can use your new IP Camera Module by its web user interface via web browser. Currently the viewing system requirement for IP Camera nodule is:

■ OS: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / Win7 / Win8

■ Browser: IE8 / IE9 / IE10, 32 bits

■ Cell phone: 3GPP player

■ Quick Time: 7.0 or above

You must know the IP address of IP Camera Module before you can connect to it. The IP Camera Module will use DHCP server on your local network to obtain an IP address automatically by default. So, you can check your DHCP server’s IP address lease table to find the IP address of IP Camera Module.

You can also use the utility named ‘IPFinder.exe’ to find the IP address of IP Camera Module, which is located on CD-ROM:

Press ‘Discover’ button to search for all IP Camera Modules / IP Camera Modules on your local network (make sure all IP Camera Modules / IP Camera Modules are powered on and connect to local network first). When you find any IP Camera Module / IP Camera Module, you can click on it and click ‘Link’ button to connect to it by your web browser.

If you need to change a certain IP Camera Module’s IP address, you can also click on the IP Camera Module you wish to change IP address, then click ‘Change IP’ button to change select IP Camera Module’s IP address setting.

If you no longer need to use this utility, click ‘Exit’ button to close it.

Please note: If you have several network connections, please disable connection that is not connected to IP Camera Module, or IP finder may fail to search IP Camera Module!

3-2 Access the Web UI and Install ActiveX Plugin

situation. The lower the number, the more

light required. It always is used in night mode

to increase sensitivity for getting the better

image quality. AGC

Automatic gain control - the AGC detection

value is changing by objects.

IR-Cut (Day/Night)

An IR-Cut filter is built in this IP Camera Module to

reduce the effect of IR lights (which will change the color

of image and makes it looks different than what you see

through your eye), and most of IR lights are coming from

sunlight.

You can select the behavior of IR-Cut filter:

WDR Wide Dynamic Range:

The function is intended to provide clear images even under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively, namely when there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view of the camera. WDR enables the capture and display of both bright and dark areas in the same frame, in a way that there are details in both areas, i.e. bright areas are not saturated, and dark areas are not too dark.

DNR

Digital Noise Reduction: It reduces image noise in order to improve the image quality of the camera. When the NR is the strong level, it is possible to decrease the noise level.

Appendix I How to use the Automatic Number

Plate Recognition function?

This IP camera supports Automatic Number Plate Recognition function. In surveillance industry, this function is used to recognize license plate very frequently. Here is the guideline of configuration of this camera.

Adjust Shutter time and Contrast in order to snapshot clearly.

According to various environments, both shutter time and Contrast are dependant variables. Based on the different shutter time, you can adjust Contrast to improve image quality in order to recognize moving vehicle’s license plate.

Shutter time is AUTO and Contrast is 0 in default. Contrast can be adjusted from 0 to 255. Hereunder, the table lists some shutter times and the suggested Contrast as reference. The actual setting should be fine tune according to the real environment.

For example, set Shutter time at 1/120 second and set Contrast at 91, check the video recorded then adjust Contrast between maximum (117) and minimum (65) value to get the best image quality.

The photo below is the real case. The photo was taken at night. The numbers on the license plate can be recognized easily.
