H.264 Pan/Tilt Dome Night Vision IP Camera
Overview
Law in your country may prohibit the use of surveillance devices. The Network Camera
is not only a high-performance web-ready camera but also can be part of a flexible
surveillance system. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the operation of such
devices is legal before installing this unit for its intended use.
It is important to first verify that all contents received are complete according to the list in
the "Package Contents" chapter. Take notice of the warnings in “Quick installation guide”
before the Network Camera is installed, then carefully read and follow the instructions in
the “Installation” chapter to avoid damages due to faulty assembly and installation. This
also ensures the product is used properly as intended.
The Network Camera is accessible via the LAN or Internet connection. Connect your
Network Camera directly to a computer network or DSL modem, and with a standard
Web browser you get instant, on demand video streams. Within minutes you can set up
the Network Camera to capture a video sequence to a PC. Live video image can be
uploaded to a website for the world to see or made available only to select users on the
network.
The Network Camera is a network device and its use should be straightforward for those
who have basic network knowledge.
The Network Camera is designed for various applications including video sharing,
general security/surveillance, etc. The “How to Use” chapter suggests ways to best
utilize the Network Camera and ensure proper operations.

When you want to connect the network camera over Internet, you can use the
service “ip-discovery.com”. The “ip-discovery.com” is a free DDNS server for this
camera. Make sure that the router must start UPnP and DHCP server functions.
You can get the domain name which you wish very easily after registration. In
Network page—DDNS settings of this camera, you just input the host name you
want and your e-mail address, and click “Register”, then you can have the
hostname for this camera not longer than 20 seconds if the DDNS registration
result is OK. Then you can connect to this ip camera by
*
http://XXX.ip-discovery.com:@@@@
*XXX: the host name you type
*@@@@: the HTTP port (get it automatically by ip-discovery server)
User password: Default the password is last six number of the MAC. To change “root”
password at “Security configuration” can change the user password, This “User
password” is entered in the ip-discovery.com Password.
Note: You must set the ports between your router and camera manually if the registration
is failed.

NOTE：Protocol Options which allows choices on connection protocol between client and
server. There are three protocols choices to optimize your usage – UDP, CP, HTTP.
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.
The HTTP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video

display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with
the UDP protocol.
The TCP guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better
video quality. However, the real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.
If no special need is required, UDP protocol is recommended. Generally speaking, the
client choice will be in the order of UDP → HTTP. After the Network Camera is
connected successfully, “Protocol Option” will indicate the selected protocol. The
selected protocol will be recorded in the user's PC and will be used for the next
connection. If the network environment is changed, or the user wants to let the web
browser to detect again, manually select the UDP and TCP protocol, save, and return
HOME to re-connect.

Q13: Cannot access the login page and other web pages of Network
Camera from Internet Explorer
A13:
• May be due to the network cable. Try correcting your network cable and configuration.
Test the network interface by connecting a local computer to the Network Camera via a
crossover cable.
• Make sure the Internet connection and setting is ok.
• Make sure enter the IP address of Internet Explorer is correct. If Network Camera has
a dynamic address, it may have changed since you last checked it.
• Network congestion may prevent the web page appearing quickly. Wait for a while.
The IP address and Subnet Mask of the PC and Network Camera must be in the same
class of the private IP address on the LAN.
• Make sure the http port used by the Network Camera, default=80, is forward to the
Network Camera’s private IP address.
• The port number assigned in your Network Camera might not be available via Internet.
Check your ISP for available port.
• The proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to Network Camera, set up
not to use the proxy server.
• Confirm that Default Gateway address is correct.
• The router needs Port Forwarding feature. Refer to your router's manual for details.
• Packet Filtering of the router may prohibit access from an external network. Refer to
your router's manual for details.
• Access Network Camera from the Internet with the global IP address of the router and
port number of Network Camera.
• Some routers reject the global IP address to access Network Camera on the same
LAN. Access with the private IP address and correct port number of Network Camera.
• When you use DDNS, you need to set Default Gateway and DNS server address.
• If it’s not working after above procedure, reset Network Camera to default setting and
installed it again.
• Maybe the IP Address of the Network Camera is already being used by another device
or computer.
• If the problem is not solved, the Network Camera might be faulty. Contact your dealer
for further help.
