Live View NOTE - (*) These are optional features. Please refer to the Product List for the full list of optional features available for the product. Live View is the default page that opens when accessing the camera. Live video is displayed directly in the browser window. Stream1/Stream2 Channels The network camera offers simultaneous dual stream for optimized quality and bandwidth.
TCP - This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and provides better video quality. The downside of using this protocol is that the quality of its real-time effect is less than that of the UDP protocol. UDP - This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection time-sensitive responses are more important than video quality.
Mirror - Horizontally reflect the display of the live video. Flip - Vertically reflect the display of the live video. Real Size - View the object in real size. Press it again to switch back to normal mode. Full Screen - Switch to full screen mode. Press the “Esc” key to return to normal mode. Motion Detection Alert - Enable the motion detection alert function. Mute – Turn off the sound. Talk(*) – To communicate through the camera using the computer MIC. Set Default – Reset to default settings. NOTE 1.
Configuration Click on the main page to change the camera settings pages. NOTE - Only Administrators can access the Configuration page. Camera/Video/Audio Camera Brightness - Drag the slider bar to adjust the image brightness level from -5 to +5. Contrast - Drag the slider bar to adjust the image contrast level from -5 to +5. Sharpness - Drag the slider bar to adjust the image sharpness level from -5 to +5.
Exposure Control Sport – Select this option when monitoring rapid moving objects. Normal – Select this option for normal monitoring conditions. Night Vision – Select this option when monitoring at night or in low light conditions. User Defined – Select this option to define the exposure manually. AGC (Auto Gain Control) - The AGC can be set between 1X to 5X. Set the Gain Rate higher for a better video illumination, with 5X giving the best video illumination.
Video The Network Camera offers two separate streams for different viewing options. Stream 1 & Stream 2 Video Codec - The Network Camera offers three choices of video codec standards for real-time viewing: H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. Video Resolution - Select from the drop-down menu to choose the best resolution recording settings. Frame Rate - Select the frame rate from drop-down menu. When H.264 or MJPEG is selected, the frame rate ranges from 1 to 30 fps.
NOTE - a higher bitrate will use higher network bandwidth. The video quality can be set between Level 1 to Level 6, with Level 6 producing the best image quality. HTTP Transport – If MJPEG is used for Video Codec, users can enable HTTP Transport protocol for video communication. NOTE – HTTP Transport is for non-IE browser used only. Click Apply to apply settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
RTSP Server To utilize RTSP authentication, the user must first set a password for the camera. RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. By default the port number is set to 554. Authentication - Depending on the network security requirements, the camera provides two types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: NONE and DIGEST.
Snapshot folder path - The destination for saving the snapshot files. Click Browse to specify the saving path and select the format from the drop-down menu. Click Apply to apply settings or Cancel to cancel changes. Audio The administrator can set up two separate streams for the camera for different viewing devices. The administrator can enable or disable the audio function on either stream. If audio enable is selected, select the Audio codec from the drop-down menu.
Multicast Multicast sends a video stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore, multicast can effectively save Internet bandwidth. The RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. Click “Enable” to enable Multicast stream 1 or Multicast stream 2. The default value for multicast address and port are 234.1.2.3 and 10000.
Privacy Mask Control The Cube camera is equipped with a privacy feature which allows users to disable the video recording when it is not needed. This application is particularly useful when the camera is being used for home surveillance. With the privacy button, the user can have privacy while they are going about their daily life. Privacy Mask Control – Enable the Privacy Mask control to remotely disable live view and recording from the camera.
Network IP Settings This section explains how to configure a wired network connection for the camera.

It is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long. Wireless devices have a default SSID set by the factory.
Security - Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication. A network encrypted with WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP because WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal uses dynamic key encryption.
WEP- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a basic encryption method which transmits network broadcast messages using radio signals. It is not as secure as WPA. Tx Key - Select a key from the drop-down menu. WEP Encryption - Select a level of WEP encryption: 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. The default is 64 bits 10 hex digits. Key 1-4 - Enter the WEP key(s) manually. Authentication - The default is set to Open System, which allows either Shared Key or Auto authentication to be used.
WPA-Personal - WiFi Protected Access (WPA)-Personal Encryption - Supports two encryption methods with dynamic encryption keys: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Select the algorithm type from the drop down menu: TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP. Shared Key - Enter the key shared between the Router and the server keys. Enter a password of 8-63 characters. Click Apply to apply settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
WPA2-Persona l - WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-Personal) Encryption - WPA2 supports AES encryption method with dynamic encryption keys. Shared Key - Enter the key shared between the Router and the server keys. Enter a password of 8-63 characters. NOTE - If using WPA or WPA2, each device in the wireless network must use the same WPA or WPA2 method and shared key or else the network will not function properly.
Advanced Settings Network Mode - From the drop-down menu, select the wireless standards running on the network. If there are Wireless-B, Wireless-G and Wireless-N (2.4GHz) devices on the network, use the default setting, BGN-Mixed. If there are Wireless-B and Wireless-G devices on the network, select BG-Mixed. If there are only Wireless-B devices on the network, select Wireless-B Only. If there are only Wireless-G devices on the network, select Wireless-G Only. If there are only Wireless-N (2.

HTTP/HTTPS HTTP – (HyperText Transfer Protocol) - This protocol allows for TCP protocol quality without having to open specific ports for streaming. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through. HTTPS - (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) - This protocol allows authentication and encrypted communication over SSL (Secure Socket Layer). It helps protect streaming data transmission over the Internet on a higher security level than HTTP.
