General I/O Terminal Block

This Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block which is used to connect external

input / output devices. The pin denitions are described below.

Pin Name

4 Power 3 Digital Output + 2 Digital Input 1 Ground

Hardware Reset

The reset button is used to reset the system or restore the factory default settings� Sometimes resetting the system can return the camera to normal operation� If the system problems remain after reset, restore the factory settings and install again�

Reset: Press and release the recessed reset button with a paper clip or thin object. Wait for the Network Camera to reboot�

Restore: Press and hold the recessed reset button until the status LED rapidly blinks orange. Note that all settings will be restored to factory default� Upon successful restore, the status LED will blink green once per second during normal operation�

Install Ferrite Core

1� Unsnap the two halves of the ferrite core� 2� Attach the ferrite core to the power cord as close to the DC connector as possible� Fold the

ferrite core over the power cord, wrap the power cord once, and snap the small latches together�

Wireless Connection: Using the WPS Button

1� Make sure your AP (Access Point) and Operating System support WPS (Wi-Fi

Protected Setup) functions� WPS enables easy setup with compatible APs�

2� Disconnect your LAN cable, and wait for the LED to turn red�

3� Press the WPS button for 1 second� You can then hear vocal instructions (in English)

from the camera speaker�

4� Press and hold down the WPS button on your AP

(some router/AP will have a virtual button on their management software instead)� Refer to your AP's documentation for details using its WPS functions�

When WPS conguration is done, wireless connectivity will be established and the

security encryption, such as WEP or WPA-PSK, will be synchronized with the AP�

Use the IW2 utility to nd the camera. As for IP setting, the camera's use of DHCP or static IP is determined by your conguration on the network camera via the webbased conguration of rmware. The camera's default is DHCP.

NOTE:

1. WPS may not work if your AP is congured with a "hidden" SSID.

2� If no WPS-enabled AP is detected, the camera will repeat vocal instructions by

every 20 seconds, and if the camera still can not detect an AP after 2 minutes, the wireless setup will be cancelled�

3. If a camera is assigned with a xed IP outside the AP's network segment, wireless

setup will fail�

4� A wired connection always has a higher priority, and hence wireless setup will not

take effect when the RJ45 LAN port is connected�

H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H�264 or MPEG-4

streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection when occasions

require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important� Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses�

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media� This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time� Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 47�

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality� The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol�

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for streaming under some network environments� Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through�
