1.1.1 Main Features  
Easy installation  
Setup CD-ROM simplifies the installation. Insert the Setup CD-ROM and autorun  
program should start the application automatically. This program automatically  
finds Network Camera on the network.  
High-Speed Motion JPEG  
Network Camera has an integrated web server. Motion JPEG displays up to 15  
frames per second, if the network provides enough bandwidth. To conserve  
bandwidth, JPEG - Regularly Refresh can be selected from Top Page. Image  
Resolution, Image Quality, Refresh interval, Limit time of Continuous Motion  
JPEG and On the Air time features can control the image field.  
Multi-Camera Screen  
Using Multi-Camera screen you can simultaneously view up to four Network  
Cameras at various locations. Clicking on each Camera Name switches to the  
Single Camera screen from the Multi-Camera screen.  
Multi-Client Access  
Network Camera allows up to 10 users to view Motion JPEG image  
simultaneously. Users can access the Top View Image screen (Single Camera/  
Multi-Camera screen) from their own locations. Note that as the number of users  
simultaneously connected to Network Camera increases, the overall motion  
performance will decrease.  
External I/O (Input/Output)  
The external sensors/devices such as a door sensor can be connected via the  
External Sensor Input. The external sensors/devices are customer provided.  
The alarm/timer trigger can activate the Image Transfer feature, which can send  
the images via e-mail or FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

2.5 Proxy Server Setting  
A proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to Network Camera in  
some corporate environments. The web browser can set up the IP address  
communication without using a proxy server. Consult your ISP or network  
administrator.  
Note  
A proxy server is generally used to maintain security on a network that offers  
an Internet connection. The network of Network Camera with the proxy server  
may cause some problems to the image quality such as taking much time in  
refresh interval. Consult your ISP or network administrator for details.  
1. Start up the Internet Explorer. (The window is Internet Explorer 5.50.)  
2. Select [Tools] > [Internet Options...] > [Connections] tab and click [LAN

The setup program finds and identifies Network Camera by listening for  
data, which Network Camera sends out for the first 20 minutes after  
powering up. If the installation is not completed within 20 minutes,  
disconnect temporarily the AC adaptor to restart this operation.  
Each Network Camera has a unique MAC address labeled on the back.  
Refer to page 15.  
Network Cameras that are isolated by the use of a home gateway or  
broadband router will not be detected.

[Start Capture] : [Start Capture] saves the individual images to the  
internal memory. Network traffic, PC performance, image  
quality and image resolution influence [Play] mode time  
and the refresh interval of the image. The resolution is the  
same as the current image settings. At a resolution of 320

Notes  
The refresh interval becomes longer as more clients access Network  
Camera.  
The image resolution, image quality and object situation affect the  
number of frames in the Buffered Image.  
If internal memory is filled after clicking [Start Capture], the image  
buffering will stop automatically.  
To save still images on your PC  
The PC can save still images taken by JPEG - Regularly Refresh and Buffered

Many ISP's intentionally block port number 80 to guard  
against certain network viruses. If your ISP blocks port  
number 80, substitute another unused port number.  
Enter only the number. (165535)  
Note  
Certain port numbers assigned on the network devices,

Operating Instructions  
4.2 Interfacing to the External I/O  
The Alarm mode in the Image Transfer feature requires the external sensors/  
devices to be connected to the External Sensor Input of the External I/O. Certain  
features of this Network Camera can be activated by an external sensor that  
senses physical changes in the area Network Camera is monitoring. These  
changes can include motion detection or a physical change in the monitored area.  
The external sensor can also be a door switch or an infrared motion detector.  
These devices are customer provided, and are available from dealers who carry  
surveillance and security products. Electrically, they must be able to provide a  
momentary contact closure.  
Explanation of External I/O

External Sensor Input  
External Sensor Input receives the signal produced by the alarm  
sensors, (e.g., door sensor, infrared ray sensor). Those signals can  
activate Image Transfer in the Alarm mode feature on page 64.  
Use it by opening or GND short-circuit.  
External Device Control Output  
External Device Control Output sends the electric current to activate  
the external devices, (e.g., light, buzzer).  
External Output Control window can set the External Device Control  
Output. Refer to page 78.  
It is an open collector circuit, and the maximum drawing-in current is 50  
mA. Prevent the maximum voltage from exceeding DC Power Output  
voltage of pin 2.

CAUTION  
THE EXTERNAL I/O IS NOT CAPABLE OF CONNECTING DIRECTLY  
TO DEVICES THAT REQUIRE LARGE AMOUNTS OF CURRENT. IN  
SOME CASES, A CUSTOM INTERFACE CIRCUIT (CUSTOMER  
PROVIDED) MAY HAVE TO BE USED. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO  
NETWORK CAMERA MAY RESULT IF A DEVICE IS CONNECTED  
TO THE EXTERNAL I/O THAT EXCEEDS ITS ELECTRICAL  
CAPABILITY.  
THE LOW VOLTAGE/CURRENT CIRCUITS AND HIGH VOLTAGE/  
CURRENT CIRCUITS ARE IN THE NETWORK CAMERA CIRCUIT.  
THE QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD DO THE WIRING NOT BY  
YOURSELF. INCORRECT WIRING COULD DAMAGE NETWORK  
CAMERA. YOU COULD RECEIVE THE FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK.  
External I/O (Input/Output) are independent. Output terminal is  
controlled only by External Output Control window on page 78.
