TRENDnet TVIP252P User Manual
PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the TV-IP252 SecurView PoE Dome
Internet Camera, a standalone system that can be connected
directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.
The camera features the latest Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 image
technology, advanced management functionality, and GPIO
connectors (e.g. connecting to the door sensors or alarm bells),
allowing you to record streaming video (Motion JPEG or MPEG4 ), enable motion detection, and setup automated FTP/Email/
Network Storage service for security.
The audio function (connected external microphone and audio-out
device like the active speaker) of the camera allows you to
deliver/receive sound to/from the camera. In addition, the superior
lens and hardware design enable the camera to capture high
quality images even in the low-lux condition.
Compared to the conventional PC Camera, the camera features a
built-in CPU and Web-based solutions that can provide a costeffective solution to transmit the real-time high-quality video
images and sounds synchronously for monitoring. The camera
can be managed remotely, so that you can use a Web browser to
access and control it from any desktop/notebook computer over
the Intranet or Internet.
The simple and versatile installation allows you to integrate it into
your network environment easily. With comprehensive
applications supported, the camera is your best solution for
demanding surveillance and remote monitoring applications.

variety of external alarm devices. You can configure the
settings and control the device from the GPIO Trigger
setting of Web Configuration.
Multiple Platforms Supported
The camera supports multiple network protocols, including
TCP/IP, SMTP e-mail, HTTP, and other Internet related
protocols. Therefore, you can use the camera in a mixed
operating system environment, such as Windows 2000,

Multiple Profiles Supported
The camera supports multiple profiles simultaneously, so
that you can separately set up different image settings
(such as image quality and frame rate) for the three video
types of the camera: MPEG4, MJPEG, and 3GPP.
Multiple Applications Supported
Through the remote access technology, you can use the
cameras to monitor various objects and places for your own
purposes. For example, babies at home, patients in the
hospital, offices and banks, and more. The camera can
