This is an IP Based Video Surveillance System. Applications for this product are free and do not
require any additional purchases they are built into the device as part of the device. Cradlepoint
and I-net Secureview software makes configuration and maintaining the product easy.
Combining the Digital I/O with different sensors makes this a one of a kind device. Using any
device such as a motion sensor, infrared, radar you are able to set this up to provide instant
notification as well as send data to your cell phone, email address, or pager. With our ability to
use Wireless Broadband, WIFI, or LAN we can produce live images at remote sites as well and
setup a trigger to notify you as an alarm would. While developing the product we found that we
could combine different technologies to produce one product that works with all of them.
Sample applications
• Police
• Ambulance
• Remote Locations
• Difficult Locations
• Time and Triggered Events
• Email Notifications
• Cell Phone Alerts
• Etc…

Chapter 4 – Basic Information that you need to know
Getting to know your Video Surveillance Box.
Description of Connections
1. Fan – Used to maintain an ideal operating temperature.
2. External Power Connection – This is where the supplied power supply is connected.
3. Video Power Connection – Using the M-M connector supplied with the kit will allow
you to run power for the video camera from this device.
4. Digital I/O – Allows for optional devices such as external motion detectors, alarms and
pan and tilt capabilities.

device.
6. WIFI Antenna Connection – Can be used with external antenna for internal network
applications.
7. USB Wireless Broadband Connection – Only to be used with approved equipment.
Refer to recommended list from Chapter 2.
8. BNC Video Connection – Used for connecting cameras of your choice.
9. Audio Plug-in – This can be used for recording audio. Not recommended due to amount
of free space available for recording video to your SD memory card.
10. SD Memory Card Slot – You can use any SD Memory Card that is not greater than
16MB. The bigger the card the more available storage space that is available to video.

Description of terms
ISP – Also knows as a Internet Service Provider, companies such as ATT, Verizon, Sprint and
other local providers, assign you internet device an TCP/IP address. This address can be either
static or dynamic.
LAN – Local Area Network
TCP/IP – This is the internet protocol that is used for most LAN and all of the Internet.
SMTP – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, this is used for sending and receiving emails.
WIFI – Wireless network connection.
DNS – Domain Name Server – These are used by the internet to translate IP address to a name.
Example: www.yahoo.com could translate to 10.136.58.23
Subnet Mask – This allows you to create your own internal network. Typically the default will
be set to 255.255.255.0 which allows for 254 different IP addresses or 254 computers and
devices.
MAC Address – This is a number that is assigned by the manufacturer based on equipment type.
An easy way to think about it, consider it a serial number assigned by the manufacturer. This will
be found on the bottom of the Wireless Surveillance device.
Dynamic IP Addressing – This is where an ISP assigns you a IP address. This address can
change and could break your ability to see your camera. There are companies that provide
Dynamic DNS Services.
Static IP Addressing – The ISP assigns a unique IP address for the device you are using and it
will never change.

That concludes the basic router setup and we are ready to move on to the next section which is
how to setup the Dynamic DNS, for our purposes we will use the Dyndns service.
19
Creating a Dynamic DNS Account
We are using the service of Dyndns for our purposes of this example. Most of the services that
are available will be pretty close to the same type of setup and information required. For
accounts that will require more than 5 unique DNS names you will need to sign up for an
account.

22
6. Create a name you would like to call the host and type it into the Hostname box, click on
the down arrow until you reach the one called dyndns.org.

8. Under the IP Address box type in the number that you wrote down from page 17. Make
sure the Mail routing box is unchecked. Then click on the Create Host button at the
bottom of the page.
9. Last step to complete the setup so the information can be seen by your computer and on
the internet. You will need to login into the wireless server again. Open Internet Explorer
and in the address line type http://192.168.0.1
and login again.
23
10. Enter the information that you created on the Dyndns website, making sure that you
include the username and your password so that the site will update with any changes in
the IP address.
11. Save settings and close Internet Explorer.
12. Check your work at this point by opening Internet Explorer and type in the address line
your newly created host name. It should look something like this
http://abc123.dyndns.org if it is correct you will be able to see the internet version of I-
net Secureview.
24
Configure I-net Secureview
There are 2 sections for this software. There is the computer based version and the Internet based
version which is already built into the Video Surveillance Box.
Computer Based Version of Secureview
• Username – Admin
* Password – inetcam
Internet Version of Secureview
• Username – Admin
* Password – inetsev
We will only cover the basic setup of getting one camera setup. To setup more then one camera
you would just repeat the setup for each box you want to connect via the broadband wireless.
1. Install the software that was included with your system.
2. Follow all of the defaults to do the basic installation. This will create a I-net Secureview
icon.
3. After clicking on the icon and starting the application login using the username and
passwords provided above.
25
This is the opening screen that you will see when you first login. This is referred to as the
monitor screen and gives you the ability to watch from one to thirty two cameras.
Here is a list of what the icons at the top of the screen do.
The three main buttons that we will review are the Monitor, Review and Settings.
Monitor is pretty self explainitory and gives you the ability to view live data. As well as
monitoring any alarms that occur. The Group section allows you change which cameras that you
can look at. This is done by dragging onto the viewing area.
Review / Playback
26
In this section you are able to review recordings that have been made by any triggers or alerts
that have be setup. By choosing the segment based on the time and hitting the play button on the
Playback section you can review what occurred. The Playback section also allows you to take a
snapshot of a frame for printing.
27
Settings
This is where the important part of the configuration occurs. You will need to do several things
to get your camera online.
Below is a listing of the secondary menu items. We will go thru them and show you what needs
to be done to see your cameras.
28
Steps to add a camera.
1. Click on add group
2. Name the group so it will be easy to recognize for in the future. You can create multiple
groups and add cameras to the specific groups.
3. Once you have type in the group name hit ok and it will add it to the group list on the left
hand side of the screen.
4. The next icon in the list is delete the group. To remove a group click on the group name
and hit this icon to remove.
5. Next we will add a camera. By clicking on the add camera icon it will prompt you for
which group you would like to add it to. Click on the down arrow and select the group.
29
6. This is where the information that you created when you setup an account at the
DYNDNS website is important. You will want to place that information into the address
section. Click on the NEXT button to continue.
7. The system will prompt you for the password. This password should be inetsev. Click on
NEXT.
30
8. Once the camera is found you can change a couple of things. Main item would be the site
name, it is easier to set a name that is specific to the site as opposed to leaving it the
default. Click NEXT to continue.
31
9. This now shows all of the information populated. At this point you are able to setup
triggers, drag and drop it into the monitor screen and record video at this point. If you are
looking for a continuous recording you can at this point click on the START REC button
and this will begin to record.
This is an example of a single group with one camera.
32
Here is an example of multiple groups with several different cam eras assigned to the different
groups. On the bottom left of the screen you can see several listings there. This is where event
triggers are listed and can be reviewed under the playback screen.
This concludes the basic configuration and setup of a single camera on this Secureview software.
