User's Manual

• Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The video encoder and

HTTP/HTTPS server built into the camera generate a ready-to-view video

stream. Just connect to the camera using your Web browser or the provided

Windows utility to view live video.

• Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home,

Business or Public Facility surveillance, or just for entertainment and fun, the

Network Camera has the features you need.

• Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail),

HTTP and other Internet related protocols, the Network Camera can be easily

integrated into your existing network.

• Easy Configuration. A Windows-based Wizard is provided for initial setup.

Subsequent administration and management can be performed using a standard

web browser. The administrator can configure and manage the Network Camera

via the LAN or Internet.

• PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) Support. The Network Camera is embedded

with a PIR Sensor, which senses infrared light radiating from human bodies in

its field of view. This feature is very helpful in enhancing home security

systems.

• Viewing/Recording Utility. A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for

viewing live video. For periods when you are absent, or for scheduled recording,

this application also allows you to export video to your PC. The recorded files

are in a standard Windows Media format, and thus usable by a wide variety of

programs if required.

• Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The

Network Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by

the movement of large objects. This function only works indoors due to the

sensitivity of the CMOS sensor. When motion is detection, an E-mail alert can

be sent, or some other action may be triggered.

• Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specified

times using a flexible scheduling system. The Motion Detection feature can also

have its own schedule, so it is active only when required.

• Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Network Camera can send

its log data to your Syslog Server.

• Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the

video if desired. You can use the built-in microphone.

Internet Features

• User-definable HTTP/HTTPS port number. This allows Internet

Gateways to use "port mapping" so the Network Camera and a Web Server can

share the same Internet IP address.

• DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the

Internet IP address of the gateway used by the Network Camera. But if the

Gateway has a dynamic IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since

many existing Gateways do not support DDNS, this function is incorporated

into the Network Camera.

• NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Network Camera

to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the

time stamp on Video from the Network Camera will be correct.
