1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
This user-friendly device combines cutting-edge sophistication with practical reliability and
convenience, high performance with smooth remote communication. Just plug in the network
cable!! You’ll get live streaming Video & Audio anytime any place! You’ll have security you can rely
on! The especially high resolution has 480 TV lines, a built-in web server and a Network interface to
connect you with the Internet securely and fast.
Other special features include the masking of personal private images with flexible mask-area
positioning and size, the self-downloading automatic video codec and other components, and the
whole unit is very easy to set up. You can access the network to get smooth images through the
real-time and synchronized audio / visual stream provided by the device, because it supports two
compression modes, the MJPEG and the MPEG4 -- you can change from one to the other as you
wish. The MPEG4 file format is a very small size file, so it can save more images over a longer time
and can be set extremely fast. The device also has a built-in website server providing many Internet
functions and protocols, including the MDIX protocol which recognizes both the normal and the
crossover cables, either of which can connect up with a LAN camera.
We hope this device makes it easier for you to get your IP address information. This unit supports
the USB interface which helps you to very easily get an IP address to open the IE browser: just type
in your IP address to the browser and you can access your LAN camera.
The device can hopefully provide the advanced motion detection function to improve your network
surveillance with both the powerful and enhanced multi-zone and multi-sensitivity modes of
detection. We believe this unit is the right answer to all your network surveillance problems. Try it
and you'll see.

3.5 LAN CAMERA SD card Troubleshooting
1. Check if the SD card position is correct or not. Please refer to the manual for the related
information.
2. After powering the LAN CAMERA on, correctly insert the SD card, and a little icon of "SD" will
show up in the upper-right corner of the monitor screen. If not, it means the device detection has
failed. Please contact your technical support and ignore the following steps.
3. If no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon, please go on to the next step. If a cross sign
appears, please check the following:
a. Is it really an SD "Memory" Card?
b. Is this SD card formatted in the FAT16 format?
c. Connect the SD card with a PC and test to see whether the PC can read the data or not.
d. Does this SD card still have the capacity for storing data?
e. Is the SD card set to write?
If all the answers are "yes" but the cross sign still persists, please contact your technical support
and ignore the following steps.
4. Please make sure the function of "SD CARD ENABLE" is activated in the ALARM and
SCHEDULE pages if no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon on the screen.
5. After recording, read the data on the web page of "sdget.htm". If the data cannot be read through
the network, please read it instead in a PC, check the data stored in the "LANCAM" directory
and contact your technical support regardless of whether there is data or not.
WARNING
1. Performing this troubleshooting process may need a monitor, a PC, a card reader and
some cables.
2. If the SD card is removed while storing or accessing data, the data will be lost.
3. If there is a cross sign beside the "SD" icon, it means the SD card has been inserted into
the LAN CAMERA but cannot perform its writing function. Possible reasons are:
4. Turn off the power before inserting the SD card. Otherwise the unit may shut down.
:
a. It is not an SD memory card.
b. The SD card is unformatted or formatted in a non-FAT16 or non-FAT12 format.
c. The file system is damaged.
d. The capacity of the SD card is full.
e. The SD card is set to be read only.

4.2 Configure Your LAN CAMERA Network Settings
Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network function and
configure the proper network settings of the LAN CAMERA.
4.2.1 Enable DHCP Function
This function can only work if the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. If the
DHCP server is working, please move the dip switch points up to 3 on the flank panel; now the
LAN CAMERA will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In that case,
please skip section 4.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 4.3 (TCP/IP Communication
Software).
4.2.2 Set IP Address
You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.
Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:
Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The following is a sample setting.
IP: 192.168.1.X
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the LAN CAMERA is connected to a computer or LAN, you
can freely assign an IP address for the LAN CAMERA. For example, there is a
range of LAN CAMERA IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can
pick one for use from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and
GATEWAY; leave the settings as default.
When a LAN CAMERA is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique,
permanent IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings
according to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding
those settings, please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
18
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected LAN CAMERA must be assigned
a unique IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP
addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,
192.168.1.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for
example, the first three sets of numbers of the LAN CAMERA IP address must be
the same as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class
B, the first two sets of numbers of the LAN CAMERA IP address must be the
same as the network address. If you have any questions regarding these settings,
please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
