1 Chapter 1 Introduction This Chapter provides details of the iCamera2's features, components and capabilities. Overview The iCamera2 has an Integrated Microcomputer and a high quality CMOS Sensor, enabling it to display high quality live streaming video over your wired LAN, the Internet, and for the iCamera2, an 802.11N Wireless LAN. Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the iCamera2 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. Furthermore, with the built-in infrared LEDs, the Wireless IP camera can provide illumination around 5 meters long under low light conditions in a simple, economical manner. Features • Standalone Design. The iCamera2 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. • Dual Video Support. The iCamera2 can support H.264 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 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 iCamera2 has the features you need. • Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, the iCamera2 can be easily integrated into your existing network. • IR LEDs Support. Each iCamera2 has two infrared LEDs. The LEDs can provide illumination around 5 meters long, that can help to output a better video quality while under low-light conditions such as indoors, on cloudy days, or in the morning or evening. • Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The iCamera2 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 or some other action may be triggered. • Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specify 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 iCamera2 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. 1
2 • Day/Night Switch. With the day/night switching feature, you are able to view and record better images even in the dark of night. Internet Features • User-definable HTTP/HTTPS port number. This allows Internet Gateways to use "port mapping" so the iCamera2 and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP address. • NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the iCamera2 to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the iCamera2 will be correct. 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 iCamera2 Administrator. Wireless Features • Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n 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 iCamera2 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 iCamera2, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

(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 10: Controlling User Access See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details about using the Video Access and User Database screens.
20 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 iCamera2 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 iCamera2. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the iCamera2. This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers. The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP connections on port 1024 should be passed to the iCamera2. If necessary, check the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details. iCamera2 Setup The iCamera2 configuration does NOT have to be changed, unless: • You wish to change the port number from the default value. HTTPS Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the iCamera2 uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the iCamera2. This port is called the Secondary Port. The default HTTP/HTTPS Secondary Port is 1025. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the iCamera2's Network screen, as shown below. Figure 11: 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.
21 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 iCamera2 is 1024.
22 Motion Detection Alerts The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected. The iCamera2 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 iCamera2, select the Motion Detection screen, then configure this screen as described below. Figure 12: 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. 3. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Trigger & Recording screen. 4. Save your changes. If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but the related options in the Trigger & Recording screen are not enabled, then the only action when motion is detected is to log this event in the system log.

32 Wireless Screen This screen is displayed when the Wireless menu option is clicked. Figure 16: Wireless Screen Data - Wireless Screen Wireless Network Site Survey Click the "Site Survey" button and select from a list of available APs. WSC PIN Code It displays the WSC PIN code number for the camera. SSID This must match the value used by other devices on your wireless LAN. Note! The SSID is case sensitive. Domain Select your region from the drop-down list. Channel No. • In Infrastructure mode, this setting is ignored. The iCamera2 will use the Channel set on the Access Point. • For Ad-hoc mode, select the Channel you wish to use on your iCamera2. 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.
33 Security Security System 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. • WPA Personal (TKIP) - WPA has solved the WEP problems with better encryption and authentication. • WPA2 Personal (AES) - This is a further development of WPA Personal, and offers even greater security. WEP Authentication Type Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that 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. WEP Encryption Select the WEP Encryption level: • 64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars) • 128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars) • 64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars) • 128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars) Passphrase 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. WEP Keys • 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. Test Wireless Click this button to test the wireless connection. 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.

35 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 Full HD IP 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 Full HD IP 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 17: DDNS Screen Data - DDNS Screen DDNS Enable DDNS Enable or disable the DDNS function, as required. Only enable this feature if you have registered for the DDNS Service with a DDNS Server provider. Service Provider Choose a service provider from the list.

62 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting This chapter covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the iCamera2 and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the iCamera2 still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. Problems Problem 1: I can't connect to the iCamera2 with my Web Browser to configure it. Solution 1: It is possible that your PC's IP address is not compatible with the IP address of the iCamera2. Problem 2 When I try to connect to the iCamera2, 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. 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 3 I can't connect to the iCamera2 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 iCamera2 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 iCamera2, 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. 7
63 Problem 5 The motion detection feature doesn't send me any E-mail. Solution 5 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. Problem 6 Using the motion detection feature, I receive E-Mails which don't show any moving objects. Solution 6 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. Problem 7 The image is blurry. Solution 7 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. Problem 8 When is the best time to press WPS button? Solution 8 If there is no cable connected, you can press the WPS button after the Power LED starts blinking. Problem 9 In some older Window XP systems, it may not be able to see H.264 video streaming. Solution 9 In order to view H.264 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 decoder of the camera. Problem 10 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) Solution 10 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.
