1.1 Instruction

The ZKPT531 IP Camera is developed by using the most up-to-date technologies. It is equipped with a
built-in lens and high-performance digital signal processor (DSP). It is a high-tech surveillance product
that integrates the ball cradle head and the digital encoder. The ZKPT531 adopts the full digital control
and a compact and simple design and minimizes the connections between system components. This
improves the system reliability and facilitates installation and maintenance. The ZKPT531 is driven by
the precision motor and features stable operation, quick response, and accurate positioning. It can
implement arbitrary positioning and continuous tracing and scanning, thus realizing Omni-directional
surveillance without blind spots. The ZKPT531 can automatically adapt to the brightness of the
environment and changes in the distance of objects. It has the power-off memory function. After the
ZKPT531 is started, it automatically recovers the working state before the power-off, which improves the
security and reliability of the system. The ZKPT531 has a built-in web server, which allows users to use
computers for video surveillance on TCP/IP-based networks. The centralized surveillance end and
system platform facilitates the real-time surveillance and remote control of front-end cameras.

The multimedia processor is a high-performance chip that integrates video/audio collection,
compression, and transmission functions. The standard H.264 encoding algorithm ensures a clearer and
smoother video transmission effect.

The ZKPT531 is applicable to small-, medium-, and large-sized enterprises, chain stores, factories,
families, and any scenario where the remote network video transmission and surveillance are required. It
is easy to install and operate.

Before using the IP Camera, please check the package against the following list to see whether
accessories are complete. If any accessory is missing, contact the distributor in time.

Before installing the IP Camera, check the package against the following list to see whether
accessories are complete. If any accessory is missing, contact the distributor in time.

Double-click: Left-click the mouse for twice.
According to factory settings of the ZKPT531 IP Camera, the default administrator name is "admin" and

the password is also "admin".
The default IP address is "192.168.1.88". The default http port is "80".

1.2 Product Overview

The IP Camera integrates the network and web service functions. It can transmit produced videos to any
place through the network and you can view the live videos only with a web browser.

The IP Camera can be used in a series of places, such as large stores, schools, factories, and families.
The basic function of the IP Camera is to transmit remote video data through the networks. By using the

H.264 hardware compression technology, the IP Camera can transmit high-quality video images on the
local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) at a speed up to 25 frames per second.

The IP Camera transmits video data based on the TCP/IP protocol. The built-in web server of the IP
Camera supports the Internet Explorer. Therefore, you can use the network to manage and maintain
your devices, thus making it easy to implement remote configuration, startup, and firmware upgrade.

1.3 Features
