| 1 English Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The video encoder and HTTP/HTTPS server built into the camera generate a ready-to-view video stream. 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. Motorized Pan. Camera is capable of motorized pan +/-150 degree, controlled remotely. It provides user to see anywhere without limited by lens FOV. 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. Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if desired. You can use the built-in microphone. 2 |
English Internet Features 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. Wireless Features Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously. Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Network Camera supports either wired or wireless transmission. WEP Support. Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided. WPA/WPA2 Support. The WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal standard is also supported, allowing advanced encryption of wireless data.

English Troubleshooting Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Network Camera and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Network Camera still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. Problems Problem 1 I can't connect to the Network Camera with my VLC player to configure it. Solution 1 It is possible that your PC's IP address is not compatible with the IP address of the Network Camera. Link into the setup page of AP router to get correct IP address of the Network Camera. Problem 2 When I try to connect to the Network Camera, I get prompted for a user name and password. Solution 2 You SHOULD be prompted for a user name and password if trying to access the Administration menu. Enter the Administrator ID and Administrator Password set on the Maintenance screen.
| 13 English Problem 3 I can't connect to the Network Camera using a Wireless connection. Solution 3 1) If a LAN cable is connected to the LAN port, the Wireless interface is disabled. Only one interface can be active. 2) Check that your PC and the Network Camera have compatible Wireless settings. Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc) must be correct. ESSID must match. WEP settings must match. In Ad-hoc mode, the Channel should match, although this is often not required. Problem 4 Video quality may suddenly deteriorate. Solution 4 This can happen when an additional viewer connects to the Network Camera, overloading the camera or the available bandwidth. The image size and quality can be adjusted to cater for the required number of viewers and the available bandwidth. Problem 5 The image is blurry. Solution 5 Try cleaning the lens. 14 |
English Problem 6 fIn some older Window XP systems, it may not be able to see H.264/
MPEG4 video streaming. Solution 6 In order to view H.264/MPEG4 video streaming in the older Window XP systems, please install the Microsoft .net framework 2.0 or later version, so the system will be able to deploy the built-in H.264/MPEG4 decoder of the camera. Problem 7 use the camera via IE browser in protected mode of Windows Vista/7, there is no local recording/setup feature to be used. Even if I run it with IE browser in non-protected mode of Windows 7, the folder like "Windows" still can not be accessed. (There is no recording files found in this folder as well) Solution 7 There will be no local recording files and the setup service of associated folder if the IE browser is in protected mode. To use the local recording feature, please operate IE browser in non-
protected mode. Note! Some folders (ex. Windows folder) with high integrity level can not be accessed via non-protected mode of IE in Window 7.
