Features and Benefits
Simple To Use
The Advanced Day/Night Internet Camera Server is a
standalone system with built-in CPU, no special hardware (such
as a PC frame capture card) or software required. The camera
supports DirectX 9.0; therefore, the only requirement you need is
the web browser software such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above.
Once you have a valid IP Address, just connect it and you can
view the picture and receive sound from your camera.
Support Variety of Platforms
Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other
Internet related protocols, the camera can be utilized in a mixe d
operating system environment, such as Windows. It can be
integrated easily into other www/Intranet applications.
Remote Utility
The powerful IPView SP application assigns the administrator
with a pre-defined user ID and password, allowing the
administrator to modify the camera’s settings from the remote site
via Intranet or Internet. When new firmware is available, you can
also upgrade remotely over the network for added convenience.
Users are also allowed to monitor the image and take snapshots.
Connection to External Devices
Supporting auxiliary Input/Output Connector, you can connect
the camera to a variety of external devices, such as IR-sensors,
switches and alarm relays. One can combine with programmable
alarming facilities to develop a variety of security applications
that are triggered on alarm-based events. The camera provides
one input/output connector to connect external devices.
Broad Range of Applications
Web Configuration
Using a standard web browser, the administrator can configure
and manage the camera directly from his own web page via the
Intranet or Internet. Up to 10 users name and password are
permitted with privilege setting controlled by the administrator.

With today’s high-speed Internet services, the camera can provide
the ideal solution for live video images and audio sounds over the
Intranet and Internet. The camera allows remote access from a
web browser for live image viewing, so that you can use it to
monitor various objects and places anytime and anywhere, such
as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-care centers, amusement
parks and other var ieties of industria l and public monitoring. The
camera can be used for intruder detection; in addition, it can
capture still images for archiving and many other applications.

SECURITY
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of
the camera, the administrator has the exclusive privilege to access
the System Administration for settings and control requirements
to allow users the level of entry and authorize the privileges for
all users. The camera supports multi-level password protection.
Accessing to the camera is strictly rest ricted to define d users with
a "User Name" and "User Password", which a re assigned by the
administrator.
The administrator can release a public user name and password.
Therefore, when remote users access the camera, they will have
the right to view the image transmitted by the camera.
NOTE: Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly
recommended to set the "Admin Password" when you are the
first time to use the camera. Once the password is defined,
only the administrator is permitted to manage the camera. The
security feature of the camera will not be enabled until the
"Admin Password" is defined; therefore, you have to complete
this procedure as soon as possible.
APPLICATION OF
THE CAMERA
The camera can be applied in wide variety of applications. It is
an all-in-one device that can be attached directly to an Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet network. With the built-in CPU, it can work as a
standalone system that provides a web-based solution transmitting
high quality video images and sounds for monitoring purposes. It
can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any
desktop/notebook PC over the Intranet or Internet via a web
browser. With the easy installation procedure, real-time live
images will be available. In addition, once the camera is installed
coupled with the IPView SP application, you ca n further expand
the scope of the camera.
The following section provides the typical applications for your
camera with the IPView SP application, and also includes some
basic knowledge to assist in the installation and configuration of
the camera.

Welcome Screen of the Configuration Utility
The Welcome screen will appear to provide the following two
items for selection:
z Client Settings
z System Administration
Client Settings
Under the Client Settings screen, the user can customize the
configuration of the connected camera on individual platform,
including the Media option and Protocol option. Plea se note that
the configuration changed in Client Settings is only effective on
the user’s system.
For example, when the user selects “Disable audio” option, it
means that the sound from the camera is muted on the individual
system, but not to disable the camera’s audio function.
NOTE:
1. Extensive knowledge of LAN will be helpful in configuring
the camera.
2. If the user is not allowed to control I/O output function, the
user cannot see the I/O output trigger item on the Welcome
screen when login. For more informat ion, see the section
Users in this chapter.
26
The Protocol Option allows the user to select the transmission
protocol depending on the networking status. The available
options are UDP, TCP, and HTTP.

System Administration
Under the Welcome screen of the Configuration Utility, click
System Administration to enter the administration window that
contains the settings required for the camera in the top menu bar,
including System, Video, Users, DateTime, Motion detection,
Application, RS485 port, Information, Tools, and Home.
System
The System window contains commands for settings that are
required for inputting key details to set up the camera for
operation.
TIP:
1. Once you have changed the settings in each option, click
Save to store the settings, or Cancel to abandon. During the

please make sure to set the ESS-ID of the camera to
correspond with the access point’s ESS-ID for
communication. Enter a name in the Network Name box (a
maximum of 32 characters including spaces and symbols, the
punctuation are not allowed).
To connect the camera to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup,
please make sure to set the same wireless channel and E SSID to match with the computer’s settings for direct wireless
communication under the Ad-hoc wireless workgroup.
- Wireless mode: Use this option to determine the type of
wireless communication for the camera. The available
