It not only allows you to view an archived image from the SD card or HDD of a computer, but also protects an archived image from reproduction or interpolation.

The Device List will display the 1. Click the connection of the all-type device. 2. Select the desired device from the Device List. 3. Click the desired device to show the window while the IP camera information acts to display the desired changes instantly. 4.
Manual insertion of „Free IP Address” If you have clicked „No”, please manually type in insertions as required in the „Free IP Address”, „Gateway Address”, and „NET Mask”. Follow each insertion you make by typing in the „Login Name” and „Password”, and click „UPDATE” to send your alterations to the IP Camera. Automatically search „Free IP Address” 1. If you clicked „Yes” the „Free IP Address” box will appear on the right.
2. Select and double click any of the addresses in the „Free IP Address” box on the right to enter it into an IP Address on the left. 3. To change any IP address, type in the new address in the „Free IP Address” box on the right as well as the device „Login Name” and „Password” in their respective blanks at bottom left, then click „UPDATE”, and the new address will automatically be sent to the device. 4. Click „Exit” at bottom right to shut the device.
APPENDIX 2 IP Camera UPnP The most troublesome issue when you setup a network camera is that you have no idea what the IP address of this device is. Now the network camera supports the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol which makes it easier for you to examine it; however, it is a pity that Microsoft Windows XP® doesn’t start this service by default. Therefore, the following procedures will help you to turn it on and discover your camera step by step as shown below.
1. Check the IP class of your PC In most case Microsoft Windows XP® will assign an IP address, 169.254.*.*, automatically with a subnet mask, 255.255.0.0, if the DHCP server is absent, while the default IP address of a LANCam® is 192.168.1.168 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. There won’t be any communication due to different IP class domains, and you have to modify the relative settings or the UPnP protocol won’t work; however, checking your own IP address is necessary.
Step 3: Click the Properties tab in the Network Connections dialog box. Step 4: When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box shows up, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 5: In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, choose Use the following IP Address to indicate that you do not wish to use DHCP, and assign IP Address 192.168.1.200 with Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK when you finish it. Step 6: Choose Close to finish the modification.
2. Install UPnP Packets As described before, Microsoft Windows XP® doesn’t start the UPnP service by default; however, we have to install some packets before we initialize it. The following steps will help you to install them. Step1: From the Start menu, point to Set Program Access and Default, and then click it. Step 2: When the Add or Remove Programs dialog box appears, click the Add/Remove Windows Components button.
Step 3: Check the Network Services in the Windows Component Wizard dialog box, and then click Details.... Step 4: Check UPnP User Interface, and choose OK.
Step 5: When the original Network Component Wizard dialog box returns, click Next. Step 6: After about one minute the UPnP installation will be done, and choose Finish to close it.
3. Turn on Services After installation, we should turn on the relative services to start the UPnP protocol. The following procedures will teach you how to do it. Step 1: From the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Step 2: When Control Panel appears, double-click the Administrative Tools icon. The Administrative Tools dialog box appears.
Step 3: Click the Services icon in the Administrative Tools dialog box. Step 4: When the Services dialog box shows up, double click the SSDP Discovery Service icon.
Step 5: Choose Automatic in the Startup type, and click OK to start it. Step 6: When the Services dialog box appears again, double click the Universal Plug and Play Device Host icon.
Step 7: Choose Automatic in the Startup type, press the Start button, and click OK to start it. Step 8: Restart your system. 4. Scan LANCams® through My Network Place After your installation and starting services, the UPnP protocol will take effect. You can scan all LANCams® in My Network Place like below. Just double click the UPnP MPEG4 IP camera icon, and the video live stream will pop up automatically without assigning any IP address in Microsoft Internet Explorer®.
APPENDIX 3 The ARP Function Setting the IP Address The Ethernet interface on the LANCam has a default IP address (192.168.1.168) that most likely needs to be changed to make it work on your local network. You need to acquire a unique IP address (ask your network administrator). For the initial setting of the IP address the LANCam needs to be connected to the same network segment as your client, and the IP address can then be configured by using a combination of ARP and ping command.
APPENDIX 4 Register as a DDNS Member The DDNS (dynamic domain name system) is a function which is provided by an American company. Please refer to www.dyndns.com. This chapter provides the user with the basic instructions on how to register a free DDNS service. Registering for a DDNS Enter the URL www.dyndns.com. In the upper right-hand corner of the main page, where there is an item, „Create Account”, as shown below.
Set up the DDNS After creating the account successfully, please enter your user name and password in the upper right-hand corner of the main page to login, as shown below. After you login successfully, a text will appear saying „My Services”, as shown below.
Click „My Services” to enter the service page. Please click the „Add Host Service” item which is below the „My Hosts” item, as shown below. Click „Add Host Service”, and its service items will appear. The Add Dynamic DNS Host item helps to add a new DDNS. Each member may have only one free account, and one free account can have only five DDNS. Click Add Dynamic DNS Host to enter the DDNS setting page as shown below.
All we have to set in this page is the „Hostname” item. The user can choose a Sub Hostname as s/he likes from the right-hand side of the Hostname’s drop-down list. NOTE: You don’t have to set the „IP Address” in the same format as the camera’s IP Address. It will renew the IP Address automatically. After finishing the setting, please press the „Create Host” button as shown below.

APPENDIX 6 FAQ 1. How to disable the DHCP function and use a static IP instead ? A: Turn the „DIP SWITCH” from „3” to „4” and vary the relative network settings, the IP Address, NetMask and Gateway on the image web page. 2. Can the SD Card be removed during recording ? A: No, it cannot be removed until the recording comes to a single point. The POWER LED flashing light signals the SD card is operating. The green light indicates the unit is activating. The red light warns the SD card cannot be removed.
