1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
The VideoEdge IP Box Camera ADCIPEB is a user-friendly device which combines cutting-edge
sophistication with practical reliability and convenience, high performance with smooth remote
communication. Just plug in the network cable and you’ll get live streaming video and audio
anytime, any place. You’ll have security you can rely on! The especially high resolution has 520 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 an IP 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 IP 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 day & night IP camera is the right answer to all your network surveillance
problems. Try it and you'll see.
NOTE: Our camera already has a built-in refocus for its Da y and Night function. So users
don't need to have an IR lens in this camera, they can just use a normal lens. If an IR
lens is used, the focus will become blurred.

3. If a check mark 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 there is no check mark beside the "SD" icon, please go on to the next step.
If all the answers are "yes" but the check mark still persists, please contact your technical
support and ignore the following steps.
4. Ensure the "SD CARD ENABLE" function is activated in the ALARM and SCHEDULE pages if
there is no check mark appears beside the "SD" icon on the screen.
5. Read the data on the web page of "sdget.htm" after recording. 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 check mark beside the "SD" icon, it means the SD card has been inserted into
the IP camera but cannot perform its writing function. Possible reasons are:
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.
