Overview The Wireless Network Camera has an Integrated Microcomputer and a high quality Mega Pixel Omni Vision CMOS Sensor, enabling it to display high quality live streaming video over your wired LAN, the Internet, and for the Network Camera, an 802.11N Wireless LAN. Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the Network Camera is able to stream high quality video and audio directly to your PC. The high compression capabilities of H.264 reduce network bandwidth requirements to amazingly low levels. The Network Camera also features an SD (Secure Digital) card slot, which enables the users to read and write data to SD card inserted in the slot. A convenient and user-friendly Windows program is provided for both viewing and recording video. If necessary, you can even view video using your Web Browser, on a variety of software platforms. Figure 1: Network Camera Features Standalone Design. The Network Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU and Video encoder. It requires only a power source and a connection to your LAN or Wireless LAN. 1 Triple Video Support. The Network Camera can support H.264, MPEG4 and MJEPG video for different image compression. Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The video encoder and HTTP 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. SD Card Slot. With the slot, you can insert the SD card to store recording files. 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. With built-in microphone, it is useful for bi-direction voice conversation. 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. 2 Security Features User Authentication. If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users. Users will have to enter their username and password before being able to view the video stream. Password-Protected Configuration. Configuration data can be password protected, so that it only can be changed by the Network Camera Administrator. 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. WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's no button. 3 Physical Details Wireless Network Camera Front Wireless Network Camera Figure 2: Front Panel No physical adjustment is required or possible for the lens, but you should ensure that the lens cover remain clean.

The default fix quality to 1.0 Mbps. is set to Normal. Profile Fixed Video Quality GOV Length This is only for H.264 format only. There are 3 options:

1. Connect to the Web-based interface of the Network Camera. (See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for details.) 2. Select Administration, then Video Access. 3. Set the desired options for Access. Access Select the desired option as required:

If the User Access is enabled, users will be prompted for a username and password when they connect to the camera for viewing video. When Video Access is enabled, viewing video is only available during the scheduled periods, and unavailable at other times. If this option is selected, you need to define a schedule; otherwise it is always disabled. However, viewing video is still possible by logging in as the Administrator. Figure 21: Controlling User Access See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details about using the Video Access and User Database screens. 24 Making Video available from the Internet If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the Network Camera available via the Internet. You will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera. Router/Gateway Setup Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from Internet Viewers) to the Network Camera. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the Network Camera. This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below. The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP connections on port 1024 should be passed to the Network Camera. If necessary, check the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details. Figure 22: Connecting via the Internet The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the Network screen of the Network Camera. 25 Network Camera Setup The Wireless Network Camera configuration does NOT have be changed, unless:

You wish to change the port number from the default value. You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Network Camera. HTTPS Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Network Camera uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Network Camera. This port is called the Secondary Port. The default HTTP/HTTPS Secondary Port is 1024/1025. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the Network Camera's Network screen, as shown below. Figure 23: Network Screen See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network screen. Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the correct port number. DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established. This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection. DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a domain name, rather than an IP address. To use DDNS:

1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name. 2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS screen of the Network Camera. 3. Both Router and Camera should use the same port number for DDNS service. 26 Figure 24: DDNS Screen 4. Operation is then automatic:

The Network Camera will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address. Internet users can then connect to the camera using the Domain Name allocated by the DDNS service provider. Example: HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024 mycamera.dyndns.tv is domain host name. 1024 is the port number. 27 Viewing Live Video via the Internet Clients (viewers) will also need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT recommended. Viewing Live Video Using your Web Browser If using your Web browser, you need to know the Internet IP address (or the Domain name) of the camera's Router/Gateway, and the correct port number. Enter the Internet address of the Router/Gateway, and its port number, in the Address (or Location) field of your Browser. Example - IP address:

HTTP://203.70.212.52:1024 Where the Router/Gateway's Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the "Secondary Port" number on the Network Camera is 1024. Example - Domain Name:

HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024 Where the Router/Gateway's Domain name is mycamera.dyndns.tv and the "Secondary Port" number on the Network Camera is 1024. Viewing Live Video with the Viewing/Recording Utility If using the Windows Viewing/Recording Utility, the details of the Network Camera must be entered on the Setup screen. Figure 25: Add Camera from LAN See Chapter 6 - Window Viewing/Recording Utility for full details on using the Windows Viewing/Recording utility. 28 Motion Detection Alerts The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected. The Network Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large objects. But the motion detector can also be triggered by:

Sudden changes in the level of available light Movement of the camera itself. Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. It cannot be used outdoors due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor. Note: The Motion Detection settings can only be configured while using IE browser. To Use Motion Detection Alerts Using the Web-based interface on the Network Camera, select the Motion Detection screen, then configure this screen as described below. Figure 26: Motion Detection 1. Enable the Motion Detection feature. 2. Set the area or areas of the video image to be examined for movement. You can define up to 4 areas, and set the motion threshold individually for each area. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Event Trigger screen. 3. 4. Save your changes. If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but the related options in the Event Trigger screen are not enabled, then the only action when motion is detected is to log this event in the system log. 29 Chapter 5 Web-based Management 5 This Chapter provides Setup details of the Network Cameras Web-based Interface.

If you have an Access Point, select Infrastructure. 39 Channel No. Security Security System In Infrastructure mode, this setting is ignored. The Network Camera will use the Channel set on the Access Point. For Ad-hoc mode, select the Channel you wish to use on your Network Camera. Other Wireless stations should use the same setting. If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers) you may need to experiment with different channels to see which one is the best. Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method:

Disabled - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network. This is default. WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption system is not very strong. WPA/WPA2 Personal - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA Personal is the version of WPA which does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN. WEP Authentication Type Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that WEP Encryption Passphrase WEP Keys 64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars) 128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars) 64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars) 128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars) fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what method to use. Note: In Infrastructure mode, either setting will normally work, since most Access Points can use both methods. Select the WEP Encryption level:

Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the "Generate Key" button to automatically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the four key fields will be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key field will be given a key value. Use the radio buttons to select the default key. Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the same key values. Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~

9) and the letters A ~ F. Click Clear Keys to set the Keys to be blank. 40 WPA/WPA2 Personal Shared Key Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters or 64 hex characters in length. 41 DDNS Screen Many Internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established. This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection. DDNS is designed to solve this problem, as follows:

You must register for the DDNS service with a DDNS service provider. The DDNS Service provider will allocate a Domain Name to you upon request. The DDNS settings on the DDNS screen above must be correct. The Network Camera will then contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address. (The Check WAN IP Address determines how often the Network Camera checks if the Internet IP address has changed.) This system allows other internet users to connect to you using the Domain Name allocated by the DDNS service provider. This screen is displayed when the DDNS menu option is clicked. Figure 31: DDNS Screen Data - DDNS Screen DDNS Enable DDNS Service Provider Web Site Button Enable or disable the DDNS function, as required.

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:

Solution 1:

Problem 2:

Solution 2:

I can't connect to the Network Camera with my Web Browser to configure it. It is possible that your PC's IP address is not compatible with the IP address of the Network Camera. Use the Windows utility to configure the Network Camera with a valid IP address. The Windows utility doesn't list any Network Camera. Check the following:

The Network Camera is installed, LAN connections are OK, it is powered ON and startup is complete. Ensure that your PC and the Network Camera are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.) Ensure that your PC has the TCP/IP network protocol loaded. In Windows, this is done by using Control Panel-Network. If an entry for TCP/IP -> Network card is not listed, use Add -

Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP to add it. You then need to select the new entry (TCP/IP -> Network card), click Properties, and configure the IP Address tab. If your LAN has a DHCP Server, you can select "Obtain an IP Address automatically". Otherwise, you must select "Specify an IP Address", and enter values for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. All devices on your LAN must use compatible values. Remember that each device needs a unique IP Address, and the same Subnet Mask. Problem 3 Solution 3 When I try to connect to the Network Camera, I get prompted for a user name and password. 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. 82 If you are just trying to view Video, the User Name/Password prompt indicates that the Administrator has restricted access to specified users. Ask the Administrator for your User Name and Password. Problem 4 I can't connect to the Network Camera using a Wireless connection. Solution 4 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 5 Video quality may suddenly deteriorate. Solution 5 Problem 6 Solution 6 Problem 7 Solution 7 Problem 8 Solution 8 Problem 9 Solution 9 Problem 10 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. The motion detection feature doesn't send me any E-mail. It may be that the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) server used by the camera to send the E-Mail will not accept mail. (This is to prevent span being sent from the server.). Try using a different SMTP server, or contact your ISP to see if SMTP access is being blocked. Using the motion detection feature, I receive E-Mails which don't show any moving objects. The motion detection feature doesn't actually detect motion. It compares frames to see if they are different. Major differences between frames are assumed to be caused by moving objects. But the motion detector can also be triggered by:

Sudden changes in the level of available light Movement of the camera itself. Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. This feature can NOT be used if the camera is outdoors. The image is blurry. Try cleaning the lens, or adjusting the Video Quality Control setting on the Streamings screen. Video created by the lower settings will contain less detail; this is the trade-off for using less bandwidth. When is the best time to press WPS button?

If there is no cable connected, you can press the WPS button after the Power LED starts blinking. In some older Window XP systems, it may not be able to see H.264/MPEG4 video streaming. 83 Solution 10 Problem 11 Solution 11 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. I 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) 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. 84 Appendix A Specifications Network Camera A Model Dimensions Operating Temperature Video compression Image resolution Storage Temperature Network Protocols Network Interface Wireless interface LEDs Micro-SD Card slot Power Adapter Network Camera 63mm (W) x 95mm (H) x 35mm (D) 0 C to 50 C H.264, MPEG4 and MJPEG 1280x 720, 640x480 (720p system default), 320x 240 (QVGA), 160 x 120 (QQVGA)

Motion detection commands The user could configure the motion detection in max up to 4 specific areas (depends on models). Each area could have its own name and its own threshold setting. Once the moving indicators exceed the user-configured threshold, then it should have a motion detection event. Here's the definition of the detected area coordinate. 107 For some reasons, the client S/W might need to backward support the motion detection CGI and padding data within the old models of camera. Please refer the appendix section to get the details.. The home (0, 0) position is located at the left-top corner. The whole scale is for 640x480 resolution. So the horizontal position, x, will be expressed as an integer value from 0 to 639 and ascend from left to right. The vertical position, y, will be expressed as an integer value from 0 to 479 and ascend from top to bottom. 6 4 0

HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n content-type: text/plain\r\n

\r\n OK\r\n Use md_switch1 as the switch of full screen or sub-windows. The md_window1 always sets to 640x480 size. Notes:

In some special models (the first motion window is used for full screen), the S/W (OCX) side needs to do it as the following way (without changing any configure item):

1. 2. If md_switch1=1, then the camera needs to detect in the whole screen video. The OCX cant allow the user to configure the rest windows (sub-window 1~3). If md_switch1=0, then the camera will detect in the md_window2~4 area. (Its the same as the sub-

windows 1~3.) 109 Motion Vector Data To include the motion vector values in the streaming packets. Whatever the streaming method is - ASF (through HTTP) or RTP (through UDP), the streaming data will include such information to let the client side S/W to judge whether the motion event is triggered or not. The data locates in the padding bytes of the streaming data. As to the data format in the streaming packet, please refer to the next section. Padding Data Format The purpose of the padding data field is to let the PC side software (ActiveX or Utility) could parse the padding data to get the relative information. The F/W (camera side) should always pad the data if it supports some features (even is disabled). 1. MPEG-4 platform. 1.1. The F/W always pad the data over video.asf streaming 1.2. The F/W does not pad anything over the RTP/RTSP streaming 2. H.264 platform The F/W pads the data over the streamings if the client bring the extension parameter padding=yes by request, please refer to the chapter Extension to the streaming URL defines for details. The following padding data starts from the 1st byte of the padding area (after the normal streaming frames) Padding format (Intel format):

4 Bytes 1 Byte 1 ~ 4 Byte XXX Byte 1 Byte 1 ~ 4 Byte XXX Byte

. 2 Bytes Padding End Data Total Length Command_1 Length Rules:

1. The 1st 4 bytes padding is to declaim the total padding length, including these 4 bytes and Command_2 Length the Padding End (from 1st byte to the last byte, including length and end command). Data 2. The following padding data will divide into 3 parts:

A. Padding command (1 byte) B. Padding length for the specific command (1~4 bytes) C. Padding data for the specific command 3. The length of the padding length depends on the command range. the length field is in 1 byte the length field is in 2 bytes the length field is in 4 bytes A. 0x00 ~ 0xBF:

B. 0xC0 ~ 0xDF:

C. 0xE0 ~ 0xFF:

4. The last 2 bytes are the Padding End (0xBF00) command. It equals to the command=END + length=0. 5. The padding command could be in any sequence. 110 Command Description 0x01 0x11 0 = Off 1 = On 0x00 = 0 = Off 0x01 = 1 = On & not in effect schedule 0x11 = 17 = On & in effect schedule Current motion indicator of the detected window 1 ~ 4 0 ~ 255 Current threshold of the detected window 1 ~ 4 0 ~ 255 Motion Detection Padding, in video frame The data length is 13.
