1 Chapter 1 Introduction This Chapter provides details of the Wireless IP Camera's features, components and capabilities. Overview The Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP Camera, an 802.11N Wireless LAN. Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the Wireless IP 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. 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. Figure 1: Wireless IP Camera Features  Standalone Design. The Wireless IP 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.  Dual Video Support. The Wireless IP Camera can support H.264 and MJEPG video for different image compression. 1
2  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 Wireless IP Camera has the features you need.  Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and other Internet related protocols, the Wireless IP Camera can be easily integrated into your existing network.  IR LEDs Support. Each Wireless IP Camera has 6 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 Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP 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.  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 Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP Camera.  NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Wireless IP Camera to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the Wireless IP Camera 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 Wireless IP Camera Administrator.
3 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 Wireless IP 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 IP Camera, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

16 Controlling User Access to the Video Stream By default, anyone can connect to the Wireless IP Camera and view live Video at any time. If desired, you can limit access to scheduled times, and also restrict access to known users. To Control User Access to Live Video: 1. Connect to the Web-based interface of the Wireless IP 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 9: Controlling User Access See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details about using the Video Access and User Database screens.
17 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 Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP Camera. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP Camera. If necessary, check the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details. Figure 10: 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 Wireless IP Camera.
18 Wireless IP Camera Setup The Wireless IP Camera configuration does NOT have to 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 Wireless IP Camera. HTTPS Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Wireless IP Camera uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP Camera'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. 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 Wireless IP Camera. 3. Both Router and Camera should use the same port number for DDNS service.
19 Figure 12: DDNS Screen 4. Operation is then automatic:  The Wireless IP 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.
20 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 Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP Camera is 1024.
21 Motion Detection Alerts The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected. The Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP Camera, select the Motion Detection screen, then configure this screen as described below. Figure 13: 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.
22 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 17: 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. The Default is ANY. 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 Wireless IP Camera will use the Channel set on the Access Point.  For Ad-hoc mode, select the Channel you wish to use on your Wireless IP 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.
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 - Data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.  WPA2 Personal - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption. 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.
34 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. WPA 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. 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 Wireless 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 Wireless 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 18: DDNS Screen Data - DDNS Screen DDNS Enable DDNS Enable or disable the DDNS function, as required.

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 Wireless IP Camera and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless IP Camera still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. Problems Problem 1: I can't connect to the Wireless IP Camera 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 Wireless IP Camera. Problem 2 When I try to connect to the Wireless IP 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. 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 Wireless IP 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 Wireless IP 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. 7
63 Solution 4 This can happen when an additional viewer connects to the Wireless IP 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 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.
