1 Introduction
IP cameras are a new generation of product that combines analog and IP
video technology. IP cameras can compress and encrypt video and audio
signals and then send it to remote terminals through the Internet with its built-in
processor and web server. With an IP address, users can use the standard
Internet Explorer browser to view the cameras in real-time, monitor targets,
manage and store video & audio, as well as control a PTZ camera remotely.
As a new generation of products in security, IP cameras share the same
function as analog cameras, such as auto white balance, auto shutter speed,
AGC, auto backlight compensation, etc. On the other hand, IP cameras also
support remote access through the internet, and they support multi-user
viewing functions. Some IP cameras are even able to extend to both analog
and digital signals.
The core of the IP camera series is the 32Bit RSIC with standard MJPEG
compression format, CMOS image sensors, auto white balance and backlight
balance, Internet Explorer compatibility, smart phone accessibility, and
centralized monitor interface management. In general, these cameras host a
variety of functions that can serve a number of users depending on their usage
requirements and conditions.
2 Features
2.1 High-Quality Monitoring Via Network
You can monitor a high-quality live image from the camera using a Web
browser on a computer connected to a Wi-Fi network. The maximum frame
rate is 20 fps. The number of users that can view live videos from one camera
at the same time is limited by the internet connection where the camera is
located. The camera supports MJPEG video compression formats (video
codecs), which makes video footage clearer, smaller, and smoother.
2.2 Remote-Controllable High-speed Pan and Tilt Mechanism
Page 7
6
The camera is provided with a high-speed (200° rotation/second) pan and tilt
mechanism, which allows –150° to +150° panning and –90° to +30° tilting.
2.3 Wireless LAN & Built-In DDNS
This IP camera is based on the TCP/IP standard and has a built-in Wi-Fi
module. Therefore, the management and maintenance of your device is simple
because all the things you want to do can be accomplished through the
network, such as remote configuration, start-up, and firmware upgrades. You
can use this IP camera to monitor special places such as your home or office
when you are not on location. In addition, the camera can be upgraded
remotely when a new version of firmware is available.
2.4 Image Transmission Using E-mail or FTP
You can send still images from the camera via e-mail or to a FTP server by
setting off a trigger using the built-in motion sensor. You can also send still
images sequentially for a determined period before and after the trigger to a
FTP server, or send them periodically. TLS/STARTTLS SMTP server is
supported. Gmail accounts can be used as the sender.
2.5 Supports WEP/WPA/WPA2 Encryption
All wireless routers on the market comply with these security protocols. This
means that this camera is 100% compatible with your router.
2.6 Multiple Protocols Supported
The camera supports multiple network protocols, including TCP/IP, SMTP email, HTTP, and other Internet related protocols.
2.7 Preset Positions and Rotation
You can save up to 15 preset positions (pan & tilt positions) of the camera and
up to 11 rotation speed classes.
2.8 Intelligent Object Detection Function
The camera is provided with an intelligent object detection function to watch
images. This function combines “Moving Object Detection” that detects moving
objects in camera images with “Unattended Object Detection” that detects
objects that do not move for a specified period in camera images.

2.9 Two-way Audio
The camera is equipped with two-way audio that means you can use the
camera as a speaker and microphone at the same time. Both the speaker and
microphone are built-in; thus, no extra external ones are needed.
2.10 Night Vision
The camera features 10 infrared LEDs, which makes it a sophisticated all-time
guardian. The range of night vision is eight meters.
2.11 Date-Superimpose Function
Date/time can be superimposed on the image. You can also select the color of
the time & date displayed.
2.12 Multiple Applications Supported
Through the remote access technology, you can use the cameras to monitor
various objects and places for your own purposes. For example, pets/babies at
home, patients in the hospital, offices, shops, and warehouses are all ideal
environments for this camera. It can also capture both still images and video

This is generally used to assist individuals with a dynamic IP address, so that
they can have consistent access to their camera. The settings for this section
are obtained from the DDNS service used.
6.1.11 Mail Service Settings
These settings work in conjunction with the alarm settings in order to send you
an email notification and picture any time your camera detects motion
Sender
: This will be your email address
Receivers 1-4
: This will be the email address/es that you want to receive email
notification. Also, this will generally also be the email address specified in
“sender”.
SMTP Server
: This will be the server listed for your email provider, and can
usually be found in their FAQs, for example, if your email is through Gmail,
then the SMTP server would be smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port
: This will be the port listed for your email provider and can usually
be found in their FAQs, for example, if your email is through Gmail, then the
SMTP port would be 465 or 587.
Needs Authentication
: This box will almost always need to be marked
because most email providers require authentication in order to send an email.
Once marked, the fields for
SMTP user
and
SMTP password
will appear. In
those fields, you will input the username and password for the email address
listed in the sender field.
Page 24
23
Once the fields have been filled out, you will first click “submit” and then “test”
to verify that the email is sending properly. If the test fails, then you will want to
verify the settings and try again.
6.1.12 FTP Service Settings
These settings work in conjunction with the alarm settings in order to upload an
image to your FTP server any time your camera detects motion. The settings
for this area will be specified by your FTP server.
6.1.13 Alarm Service Settings
This section specifies the alarm settings for the camera as shown below:
There are two different methods for triggering the alarm. The first method is
motion detection
. The sensitivity of motion detection can be adjusted
according to your requirements. The higher the number is, the lower sensitivity
is. Another method is the alarm input, which when connected, will trigger the
alarm through an alarm input signal which connects to “I/O Alarm” port on the
back of the camera.
Using either method, when the alarm is triggered, you have three options. One
is I/O linkage upon the alarm trigger, which sends a signal through the output
portion of the I/O alarm terminal to connect with an external audio alarm to
sound a siren; the second is email notification, which send an email with an
image capture of the motion; the last is upload image upon the alarm trigger,
which uploads an image to your FTP server. Stay consistent with the
Page 25
24
mentioned upload pictures interval on the FTP service settings. The scheduler
allows you to specify times when you would like the alarm settings to be active.
6.1.14 PTZ Settings
Specify the speed of movement for the pan and tilt controls.
6.1.15 Decoder Settings
Specify the baud rate for external alarm connection. You will want to set this in
conjunction with your external alarm (if applicable)
6.1.16 Upgrade Device Firmware
This section is for camera firmware upgrades and it includes device system
firmware and device application firmware. Be cautious when upgrading the
camera, as it has the potential to cause problems with the camera.
6.1.17 Backup & Restore Settings
This setting allows you to back up your settings to a computer, so that if at any
point you lose them, you can recover them quickly.
6.1.18 Restore Factory Settings
This will reset the camera to the factory default settings. All setting changes will
be lost if reset to factory default.
7 Others
7.1 Port Forwarding Settings In Router
If you would like to remotely access your camera over the Internet, then port
forwarding in your router is a must. Different brands of routers have different
Page 26
25
names, but the basic operation is the same. Take the Netgear WGR614v9
router’s port forwarding for example.
To set up an IP camera where the Gateway IP is 192.168.1.1, the IP camera
local IP address is 192.168.1.50, and the port is 80.
First, enter the gateway address into your address bar, and click “Enter” on the
keyboard as shown below:
This will bring you to your router’s login screen. You will then enter your router’s
username and password, which are generally different from the wireless key.
The default login for most Netgear routers is “admin” for the user name and
password for the password.
Once logged into the router click 'Port Forwarding/Port Triggering' in the left
hand column.
Inside of the port forwarding section, click ‘Add Custom Service’
Page 27
26
Enter “IP Camera” for the service name, “80” for the starting and ending port and
192.168.1.99 for the server IP address. Then, click “Apply”.
You should now see the port listed with any other services you may have active in
the port forwarding section of your router.
You will want to be sure to adjust the port numbers and IP address and gateway to
match with your network.
