Before accessing a network camera (also known as IP Camera or IPC) from a PC, you need to connect the
network camera to the PC directly with a network cable or via a switch or router.
Use a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable to connect the network interfaces of the network camera and the
PC.
Use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables to connect the network interfaces of the camera and the switch or

Preparation
After you have completed the installation in accordance with the quick guide, connect the camera to power
to start it. After the camera is started, you can access the camera from a PC client installed with a web
browser or the client software EZStation. Internet Explorer (IE) is a recommended web browser. For more
information about EZStation, refer to the EZStation User Manual.
The following takes IE on a Microsoft Windows 7.0 operating system as an example.
Check before login
The camera is operating correctly.
The network connection between the PC and the camera is normal.
The PC is installed with Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher.

Logging In to the Web Interface
The default static IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.13 or 192.168.0.13, and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
DHCP is turned on by default. If a DHCP server is used in the network, the IP address of your camera may
be assigned dynamically, and you need to use the correct IP address to log in. Use the EZStation client to
view the dynamic IP address of your camera.
The following takes IE as an example to describe the login procedure.
1. Browse to the login page by entering the correct IP address of your camera in the address bar.
2. If you log in for the first time, follow system prompts and install the ActiveX. You need to close your
browser to complete the installation.

NOTE!
To manually load the ActiveX, type http://IP address/ActiveX/Setup.exe in the address bar and
press Enter.
The default password is used for your first login. To ensure account security, please change the
password after your first login. You are recommended to set a strong password (no less than eight
characters).
The camera protects itself from illegal access by limiting the number of failed login attempts. If
login fails six times consecutively, the camera locks automatically for ten minutes.

Parameter
Description
Exposure
Mode
Select the correct exposure mode to achieve the desired exposure effect.
Automatic: The camera automatically adjusts exposure according to the environment.
Custom: The user sets exposure as needed.
Indoor 50Hz: Reduce stripes by limiting shutter frequency.
Indoor 60Hz: Reduce stripes by limiting shutter frequency.
Manual: Finetune image quality by setting shutter, gain and iris manually.
Low Motion Blur: Control the minimum shutter to reduce motion blur in faces captured
in motion.
Shutter (s)
Shutter is used to control the light that comes into the lens. A fast shutter speed is ideal for
scenes in quick motion. A slow shutter speed is ideal for scenes that change slowly.
Note:
You can set a shutter speed when Exposure Mode is set to Manual or Shutter Priority.
If Slow Shutter is set to Off, the reciprocal of the shutter speed must be greater than the
frame rate.
Gain (dB)
Control image signals so that the camera outputs standard video signals according to the
light condition.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is set to Manual or Gain Priority.
Slow Shutter
Improves image brightness in low light conditions.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Shutter Priority and
when Image Stabilizer is disabled.
Slowest
Shutter
Set the slowest shutter speed that the camera can use during exposure.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Slow Shutter is set to On.
Compensation
Adjust the compensation value as required to achieve the desired effects.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual.
Metering
Control
Set the way the camera measures the intensity of light.
Center-Weighted Average Metering: Measure light mainly in the central part of images.
Evaluative Metering: Measure light in the customized area of images.
Highlight compensation: Ignore the brightness of the overexposed area of images. But
selecting this setting will decrease the overall brightness of the image.
Face Metering: Adjust image quality in poor lighting conditions by controlling the
brightness of captured face in Face scene.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual.
Day/Night
Mode
Automatic: The camera outputs the optimum images according to the light condition. In
this mode, the camera can switch between night mode and day mode automatically.
Night: The camera provides high-quality black and white images using the existing light
Day: The camera provides high-quality color images using the existing light.
Day/Night
Sensitivity
Light threshold for switching between day mode and night mode. A higher sensitivity means
that the camera is more sensitive to the change of light and becomes more easily to switch
between day mode and night mode.
Note:
20
Parameter
Description
You can set this parameter only when Day/Night Mode is set to Automatic.
Day/Night
Switching(s)
Set the length of time before the camera switches between day mode and night mode after
the conditions for switching are met.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Day/Night Mode is set to Automatic.
WDR
Enable WDR to distinguish the bright and dark areas in the same image.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is neither Customize nor Manual and
when Image Stabilizer is disabled.
WDR Level
After enabling the WDR function, you can improve the image by adjusting the WDR level.
Note:
Use level 7 or higher when there is a high contrast between the bright and dark areas of the
scene. In the case of low contrast, it is recommended to disable WDR or use level 1-6.
Suppress WDR
Stripes
When enabled, the camera can automatically adjust slow shutter frequency according to
the frequency of light to minimize stripes that may appear in images.
NOTE!
This function may vary with models. Please see actual Web interface for details.

Smart Illumination
1. Click Setup > Image > Image and then click Smart Illumination.
2. Select the correct IR control mode and set the parameters. The following table describes some major
parameters.
21
Control Mode
Global Mode: The camera adjusts IR illumination and exposure to achieve balanced
image effects. Some areas might be overexposed if you select this option. This option is
recommended if monitored range and image brightness are your first priority.
Overexposure Restrain: The camera adjusts IR illumination and exposure to avoid
regional overexposure. Some areas might be dark if you select this option. This option is
recommended if clarity of the central part of the image and overexposure control are
your first priority.
Road: This mode offers strong illumination in whole and is recommended for monitoring
wide-ranging scenes, for example, road.
Park: This mode offers uniform light and is recommended for monitoring small range
scenes with many obstacles, for example, industrial parks.
Manual: This mode allows you to manually control the intensity of IR illumination.
Indoor: This mode is recommended for application in indoor scenes.
Illumination
Level
Set the intensity level of the IR light. The greater the value, the higher the intensity. 0
means that the IR light is turned off.
Near-illumination Level: You are recommended to set this parameter first for a
wide-angle scene.
Mid-illumination Level: You are recommended to set this parameter first if the scene
requires an intermediate focal length.
