2.2 Preparation before setup
To configure your IP device, you have to use Internet Explorer to log in.
Before that, your PC’s network settings and the IP device’s IP address must
be set up. Make sure all the connections are connected correctly, and then
follow the procedures below.
1. Setup your PC network
You have to match your PC’s TCP/IP setting with the IP device’s
default settings before you can use IE browser to login it. This section
tells you how to setup your PC’s TCP/IP settings.
2. Setup IP device’s IP address
This IP device’s IP address can be setup manually or automatically by
network service (DHCP). If it acquires the IP address by using the
DHCP service, please use the IP utility software bundled in the product
CD to search all the IP devices’ IP address.
2.2.1 Setup your PC network
To set up the network of IP device via a PC, you have to change the TCP/IP
settings of the PC.
The following are the default network settings of IP device.
IP Address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To access the IP device, the IP address of the PC should match the address
below.
IP Address: 192.168.0.xxx
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
NOTE: xxx should be a number from 1 to 254, but 100 is excepted.

2.3 Configuring the IP device
This section describes how to configure the IP device. The product
administrator has unlimited access to all setup windows and normal users
can only watch the live image. The IP device is configured under a
standard browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above).
Follow the procedures below to configure the IP device.
STEP 1: Open a browser
STEP 2: Enter the IP address of the IP device.
The default IP address is “192.168.0.100”
The “Login Page” is now displayed as below.
STEP 3: Enter the Account name (factory default: Admin) and the
Password (factory default: 123456).
NOTE: Internet Explorer of 6.0 or above is highly recommended. If you
don’t have the it, please download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx
STEP 4: Select the language of the IP device user interface. You can
select from English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese,
Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Czech and French. This user
interface setting will disappear once you log out, if you want to change
the default user interface language, please change the setting of [Host

Make sure you include the Netmask in your consideration.
The IP address you wish to allow or block. Please note that the
actual range is modified by the Netmask.
Using Netmask allows you to set filtering for a whole range of IP
address at once, without the need to enter all of them individually.
If you are not sure about the function of netmask, then you should
use 255.255.255.255, and it will affect only a single IP
line of entry, or use 255.255.255.0 to use the same setting for all
IP addresses starting with the same three numbers. .

How it works
An important feature in this screen is that user may now customize the illumination level
to perform day/night mode switches.
On the horizontal brightness meter shown here, there are three colored bars. The bar
represents light amplifying levels 0 to 100, where 0 is Brightest and 100 is darkest. 0
means no digital amplification of incoming light signals, which means that the
environment is bright enough for the camera to get good quality images.
When the environment gets darker, as when the sun is setting over the horizon, the
environmental gets darker. To maintain proper image brightness level, the camera will
attempt to digitally amplify the light signals received by the sensor. The Blue one is the
level at which camera will go into night mode, and remove Mechanical IR cut filter and
open IR LED if available. The red one indicates the illumination level at which the
camera will consider bright enough to go back to day (Color) mode.
The Red bar should always be to the left of the blue bar. As camera go from day to night
mode, more lights are allowed inside (the IR filter is removed), so the detected light
signal level will increase. If the night-to-day illumination level is too close to the
day-to-night level, the camera will immediately consider it bright enough to go back to
day mode, which will result in continuous day/night switching.

Video Motion Detection:
STEP1: Click the Plus sign to expand the Motion Detection settings then Click
the Motion Enable checkbox to enable motion detection.
2-41
STEP2: Click the checkbox to enable motion detection for each individual region.
STEP3: Click one region to start to edit its size and location. You can click the “Adjust
Column” to drag motion region to your desired location. You can click the “Adjust
Square” and drag to adjust motion region size. You can click the upper right button to
cancel this motion region. Repeat above procedure to adjust the motion region.
STEP4: Set the sensitivity of motion detection region.
STEP5: Set the interval time of motion detection. After a motion event is triggered,
no more events will be triggered within this time in the same region
STEP6: Set the trigger threshold of motion detection region. The larger this value,
the larger the object size needed to trigger motion detection.
STEP7: In motion activity window, the bar shows the motion activity status. You
can also see the trigger threshold (Red line). When the motion activity exceeds the trigger
threshold, the bar would become red to indicate that a motion event has been triggered.
While viewing the motion activity window, you can adjust the motion sensitivity (the
higher, the easier camera considers video change to be an activity) and the threshold (the
higher, the larger the activity needed to trigger a motion event). If the default settings are
not satisfactory for your scene, you may try our alternative recommendations of:
Sensitivity: 80, Threshold: 2~5 (for normal environment)
Sensitivity: 80, Threshold: 5~10 (for very noisy environment)
PIR (Passive Infra Red motion sensors) (Not available to all models)
PIR sensors are available for some models. For the models with PIR, there will be a PIR
Motion Sensor section below the video motion detection.
You may enable PIR sensors by the checkbox and modify the sensitivity/ trigger
interval.
When motion is detected via PIR sensor, a red border will show around the whole view
area.
Please note that PIR sensors have a shorter range of detection than Video motion
detection.

This is also called GOP Length. (Group of Picture) . Default
value is one I frame per second. The maximum length of GOP is
limited to 60.
Select the available frame rate from the drop down menu.
This puts a hard cap on the maximum bit rate allowed in any
given second of video streaming. Assigning a limited bit rate
may result in a few dropped frames rate when the stream data
overflows the allowed bit rate. Doing so will also disable Bit
Rate setting below.
Select the video bit rate mode.
Constant Bit Rate: The video bit rate remains constant at all

Variable Bit Rate: The video bit rate will vary based upon scene
complexity and amount of movement. The quality will remain
the same.
This puts a hard cap on the maximum bit rate allowed in any
given second of video streaming. Assigning a limited bit rate
may result in a few dropped frames rate when the stream data

This is the target bitrate that the camera will attempt to provide
when using Constant Bitrate mode. The actual value will
fluctuate slightly based on scene changes.
