Installation
In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Network Camera, and
"Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Network Camera and grant
user access to the camera.
Hardware installation
Please verify that your product package contains all the
accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents.
Depending on the user’s application, an Ethernet cable may
be needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the specs of UTP
Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in length.
Connect the power adapter jack to the Network Camera
before plugging in to the power socket. This will reduce the
risk of accidental electric shock.
Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs
will blink between green and red a few times. If self-test passes, the LED will be green
and the Network Camera will standby for getting IP address. After getting IP Address,
the LED will blink green every second. If self-test fails the red LED will blink several
times. Refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting.
The Network Camera will first detect Ethernet. If it does not connect to Ethernet, the
Network Camera will try WLAN. During the searching and connecting process to the
wireless access point or station, the red LED of the Network Camera will flash every
second. Until the Network Camera connects to the other wireless device, the red LED
will become lighted. Operating in either network mode, the green LED will flash every
second as heartbeat to indicate alive.
To install in Ethernet
Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the
Ethernet cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to be steady green after
self-test, go to next paragraph “Software installation”. If the Ethernet is not available,
Network Camera will switch to wireless LAN mode.

To install in wireless LAN
If the Ethernet is not available while power on, the Network Camera will search for any
access point with the SSID “default”. Once any access point is found, the LED will turn
green to wait for installation. If the network environment cannot meet the default
settings, install Network Camera in Ethernet to proceed with wireless LAN
configuration.

Client settings
At the initial access to the “Connection type” page in Windows, the web browser will ask
for a new plug-in installation, the plug-in being the Network Camera. This plug-in has
been registered for certification and can be used to change the parameters at the
client’s site. The user may click on
to install the plug-in. If the web browser
does not allow the user to complete the installation, check the Internet security to
lower the security level or contact your IT or networking supervisor.
There are two settings for the client side. One is “Media Option” for users to
determine if audio should be muted. The other is “Protocol Option” which allows
choices on connection protocol between client and server. There are three protocols
choices to optimize your usage - UDP, TCP and HTTP.
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some
29
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.
The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video
display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that
with the UDP protocol.
The HTTP protocol must be selected if the network is protected by a firewall and it only
allows HTTP Port (80) to be opened. In this mode, audio will not be sent and only video
is operational. If no special need is required, UDP protocol is recommended. Generally
speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP → TCP → HTTP. After the
Network Camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Option” will indicate the selected
protocol. The selected protocol will be recorded in the user's PC and will be used for the
next connection. If the network environment is changed, or the user wants to let the
web browser to detect again, manually select the UDP protocol, save, and return HOME
to re-connect.
<Network Camera> is the domain name or the original IP address of the Network

Administrator’s capability
Fine-tuning for Best Performance
Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best
video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The three factors,
“Maximum frame rate”, “Fix bit rate”, and “Fix quality” on the Video Configuration page,
are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance possible.
For Best Real-time Video Images
To achieve good real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough
to allow a transmission rate of greater than 20 image frames per second. If the
broadband network is over 1 Mbps, set the “Fix bit rate” to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps, and
set “Fix quality” at the highest quality. The maximum frame rate is 30. If your network
bandwidth is more than 384Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth
31
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
and set the maximum frame rate to 30 fps. If the images vary dramatically in your
environment, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order
to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the
human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30
frames per second. If your network bandwidth is below 384 Kbps, set the “Fix bit rate”
according to your bandwidth and try to get the best performance by fine-tuning with
the “Maximum frame rate”. In a slow network, greater frame rate results in blur images.
Another work-around is to choose “Half” in the “Size” option for better images, or
“Halfx2” for a larger image view. Video quality performance will vary somewhat due to
the number of users viewing on the network; even when the parameters have initially
been finely tuned. Performance will also suffer due to poor connectivity because of
the network’s burst constraint.
Only Quality Images Will Do
To have the best video quality, you should set “Fix quality” at “Detailed” or “Excellent”
and adjust the “Maximum frame rate” to match your network’s bandwidth. If your
network is slow and you receive “broken” pictures, go to the TCP protocol in
“Connection type” and choose a more appropriate mode of transmission. The images
may suffer a time delay due to a slower connection. The delay will also increase with
added number of users.
Somewhere Between Real-time and Clear Images
If you have a broadband network, set “Fix quality” at ”Normal” or better, rather than
setting “Fix bit rate”. You can also fix the bandwidth according to your actual network
speed and adjust the frame rate. Start from 30 fps down for best results but not below
15 fps. If the image qualities are not improved, select a lower bandwidth setting.

6. Select “Sequential operation” and set the interval,
7. Select FTP without date time suffix as the upload method and click on save,
8. The image file uploaded to the web space is named “video.jpg”. Check if the file is
successfully uploaded to the correct folder,
9. Prepare a homepage with the embedded image reference to the image file uploaded
via FTP in advance.
If the web space has no FTP service,
An auto-refresh homepage can be used to periodically poll the newest image from the
Network Camera. It is most efficient if using a free web space provider as the FTP
service may be limiting.
1. Prepare an auto-refresh homepage like the following example. The URL of image is
according to your Network Camera. Define the refresh interval according to your
network bandwidth for best result. If the refresh rate is too fast and there is a large
number of visitors, this may overload the Network Camera and slows the response.

B. Frequently asked questions
Q What if I forget my password?
A After the Administrator's password is assigned, every access to the Network Camera
58
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
needs authentication. If you are one of the managed users, you have to ask the
Administrator for the password. If you are the Administrator, there is no way to recover
the root password except for restoring factory default. Refer to Appendix A for the
procedures.
Q Why can I not watch video from the Network Camera after it is authenticated?
A There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem,
1. If you have just installed the Network Camera and are unable to watch the video,
check if the heartbeat LED is blinking or the lens cap is removed. If the heartbeat LED
is dim, perform the software installation again.
2. If the Network Camera is well installed and you are accessing the Network Camera
for the first time using Internet Explorer, adjust the security level of Internet Explorer
to allow installation of plug-ins.
3. If the problem still exists after adjusting, and the message over the image window
is showing "connecting", the network traffic may be too crowded.
Q What is the plug-in for?
A The plug-in provided by the Network Camera is used to display motion pictures and
audio in Internet Explorer. If your system does not allow installation of any plug-in
software, the security level of the web browser may need to be lowered. It is
recommended that you consult your network supervisors in your office regarding
adjustment of the security level. Software installation may be regulated in some
offices.
Q Why is the timestamp different from the system time of my PC or notebook?
A The timestamp is based on the system time of the Network Camera. It is maintained
by a real-time clock inside and can be automatically synchronized with the time server
if the Network Camera is connected to the Internet and the function is enabled.
Differences of several hours may result from the time zone setting.
Q Can I install it on ceiling?
A Yes. There are flip and mirror options in video configuration page to correct the
images for upside down installation.
Q The image is not clear enough.
A Rotate the lens to adjust the focus after the Network Camera is installed in the proper
position. The image settings and white balance can be fine tuned to achieve the best
visual effect. Also notice the power line frequency must match the local utility to
synchronize and minimize the effect of flickering florescent lights.
48
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Q Why does the image not refresh regularly?
A Some anti-virus programs filter the received web content. It takes time to perform
data examination and affect the streaming application such as the Network Camera.
However it only affects the HTP mode of the Network Camera. If the network allows
only HTTP mode, disable the web filtering function of the anti-virus program
temporarily. During the period, users should be aware of the risk of malicious network
activity.
Q I have opened motion detection windows but it cannot work.
A If the motion detection windows are setup and names are given, check to see if the
function is checked at the first line. While it is enabled, adjust the sensitivity and
percentage to monitor the level indicator for best results.
Q I cannot hear any sound while watching.
A If there is "V_ONLY" shown above the image, click on connection type to uncheck
"Disable audio". If there is "V" shown instead of "AV", the sound card in your PC may
not properly installed. If "AV" is shown, check the audio source of the Network Camera.
Q How many users are allowed to watch the Network Camera at the same time?
A Too many users requesting the real-time multimedia content will jam the network.
For best results, the Network Camera is designed to accommodate maximum ten (10)
users to watch and listen to the Network Camera at the same time. For a larger number
of users, it is recommended to build another web server to host the retrieving contents
from the Network Camera.
Q How fast is the video rate of the Network Camera?
A The MPEG4 codec engine can process 30 frames per second internally. However the
total performance is subject to many coefficients as follows:
1. Network throughput,
2. Bandwidth share,
3. Number of users,
4. The complicated/detailed objects and movement in view,
5. The level of your PC or notebook computer that is responsible for displaying images.
In general, the transfer rate in a general local network environment can achieve over
200 kilobytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 pictures per second from a
regular environment.

Q How can I keep the Network Camera as private as possible?
A The Network Camera is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible
interfaces. The user authentication and special confirmation in installation can keep the
Network Camera from unauthorized access. You may also change the HTTP port to
non-public number. The demo account is good to separate guests from normal users
and thus you can easily block guests anytime. You can check the system log to examine
any abnormal activities and trace the origins.
Q Why can I not access the Network Camera when I setup some options in the
application?
A Since the Network Camera is a "network device", any incorrect network settings will
make it unreachable. If this happens, restore the factory default settings following the
procedures in Appendix A.
