Section 3 - Configuration Frequently Asked Questions Internet Camera Features What is an Internet Camera? The Internet Camera is a stand-alone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. It is different from the conventional PC Camera, the Internet Camera is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and web-based solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring.
Section 3 - Configuration Can the Internet Camera be used outdoors? The Internet Camera is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case to be used outdoors and it is not recommended. What network cabling is required for the Internet Camera? The Internet Camera uses Category 5 UTP Twisted-pair cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking.
Section 3 - Configuration Why can’t I access the Internet Camera from a Web browser? The possible cause might be the IP Address for the Internet Camera is already being used by another device. To correct the possible problem, you need to first disconnect the Internet Camera from the network. Then run the PING utility (follow the instructions in the section titled “PING Your IP Address:). If there is a reply, it indicates that there is another device on the network with the same IP address.
Section 3 - Configuration Why does the Internet Camera work locally but not externally? This might be caused by the firewall protection. Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the Internet Camera to be accessible outside your local LAN. Refer to page 41 for more information about installing your camera behind a router.
Section 3 - Configuration The images are poor quality, how can I improve the image quality? Make sure that your computers display properties are set to at least 16-bit color. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image look as if it is of poor quality. The configuration on the Internet Camera image display is incorrect.
Section 3 - Configuration How to Ping Your IP Address The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine whether a specific IP Address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It is a very useful tool to confirm if the IP Address conflicts with the Internet Camera over the network. Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING command. Start a DOS window Start>Program>Accessories>Command Prompt Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.
