When the IP camera is behind the router, it will normally run on passive mode. 48 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter Alarm Service Settings This is used to set the alarm functions on the camera. The XP 330 supports motion detection and external alarm inputs. Motion detection means that the IP camera will sense movement and immediately it will trigger an alarm to alert about such an event. Sensitivity can be determined in a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being the setting with the highest sensitivity, while 10 represents the lowest level of motion sensitivity you can preset. Alarm actions include presets, alarm output, mail notifications, and FTP uploading of pictures. Input pins - The input pins can be used for a one-

way external sensor input. For example, you can connect a Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) to it for motion detection. When an external sensor is triggered, the IP camera can be programmed to send an email with an image snapshot or control the internal relay output. If you link an external alarm with Pin 3 and Pin 4, and check the box of the alarm input, the external alarm will be enabled (this only applies to the models that have this feature available). Send Mail on Alarm - Sends picture & mail information to the set email address after the alarm is triggered. Upload Image on Alarm - Enable this function to upload an image after the alarm is triggered. Scheduler - You can set the time range for the motion alarm to be triggered. Schedules can be set 49 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter up on a weekly basis, within a 24 hour-time frame. By selecting the scheduler you will be enabling the alarm. SD Card Record This is used to set certain parameters of the SD card recording. Loop rewrite: overwrites old content. Record for external input alarm: begins recording when the alarm is triggered from an external input device. Motion activated recording: starts recording when the alarm is triggered by motion. Schedule recording: begins recording at a given time period. 50 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter PT settings This is used to set the pan and tilt parameters and the signaling lamp. When this light is enabled, the green LED of cameras head will flash. When the IP camera is powered on, it will rotate by itself and stop at the center. Every time the IP camera restarts, it will turn to its center position automatically. Rotation towards the center is mainly used for positioning. Cruising speed: the rotation speed of cameras horizontal and upright patrolling. Rotational speed such as upward speed, downward speed, leftward speed and rightward speed is controlled by the Rotational speed manual option. Log The log keeps a record of the IP camera operation status and information. 51 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter MOBILE ACCESS To begin with, the mobile phone you must have internet access and be connected to the wireless LAN if attempting to login internally. If attempting to access externally, you must ensure to type in the correct DDNS address on the web browser or have FTP forwarding function enabled in the router in order to login via the cameras IP address. Smart phone access Smartphones are mobile phones that run on an operating system, such as Windows Mobile, Android, MacOS, and Symbian. This powerful capability allows the web page browser of such phones to support JavaScript, making it possible for them to view the live images captured by the camera. Internet access on your cell phone is required for this feature to work. Use the browser on the phone to enter the address of the IP camera, e.g. http://demo.ipcam. so (demo is the Serial No. Each device has only one Serial No). 52 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter Next, taking the Opera mini 4 Version on Windows Mobile as an example, we are going to present the whole procedure. 1.

MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS Port Forwarding Settings in Router When accessing the IP Camera remotely or exter-

nally, the port forwarding feature must be activated in the router. Port forwarding is also called port mapping or virtual server. Different brand routers have different names, but the operation is basically the same. Lets take our Nexxt Solutions Acrux 300 routers 54 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter port forwarding setup for illustration (we recom-

mend to use our Nexxt Solutions routers for best results). For illustrative purposes, the routers default access address is 192.168.0.1, the IP cameras access address is 192.168.0.100, and the default access port is 81. 1. First log in to the routers web administration interface (type 192.168.0.1 on your web browser). 2. Click on Forwarding on the left column or on the

+ (plus sign) in front. 3. After clicking Virtual Servers in the unfolded menu, select Add New on the right hand side. 55 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter 4. Under Service Port and Internal Port field, input the incoming port for the IP camera (in this example, it will be 81). In the IP Address field, type the cameras IP address (in this example, it will be 192.168.0.100). Under the Protocol drop-down menu, you have the option to set it to UDP, TCP, or ALL. We recommend setting it to ALL, but you can set the option that best fits your configuration. Next, from the drop down menu, set the Status to Enabled in order to activate this feature. Leave the Common Service Port unchanged unless your Service Port number was changed from the default, which is 81. Lastly, click Save to store the newly applied settings. The following picture illustrates the successful enablement of Port Forwarding. You can now access your camera externally utilizing the IP address. 56 Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter 3. 2. Common router default access addresses:
