Ethernet Environment

Hardware installation

Before installing multiple Network Cameras at the well-chosen locations, the

administrator should memorize the serial numbers on the packages respectively for

future use.

Cable connection

Connect the supplied cables from Network Camera to related devices according to the

above diagram. Note that the power adaptor must be kept unplugged until other cables

are firmly connected.

Power on

Make sure all cables are correctly and firmly connected before turning on Network

Camera. Turn on cameras, sensors, alarm devices, and then attach the power adaptor of

Network Camera to the electric power socket. After the POST (power-on self test) is

complete and the result is successful, Network Camera is ready for software

configuration as described in this manual. At this stage, network speed and video

modulation type are automatically detected. Refer to the configuration section for

further information.

Connect the power jack of the power adapter to Network Camera prior to plugging

the utility end into the utility power socket. It will reduce accidental electric surge shock.

Software installation

Easy way with installer program

In order to configure Network Camera’s remotely, administrators should keep the serial

numbers of the new Network Camera’s for identification and initial passwords. After

successfully mounting Network Camera’s in the proper position, run the Installer

program on the PC in the same network to locate the newly mounted Network Camera’s.

Network Camera’s also support manual setup procedures to non-Windows based

environments. The manual procedure is described next.

After the POST is done, Network Camera will try to configure itself by detecting the

network environment. If there is DHCP service over the network, the Installer program

will catch the given information, then display the serial number and given IP address for

each Network Camera as the figure above. To install the IP address, follow the steps.

○Click on the entry with the serial number you want to install. If the "Assigned" field of

the entry is labeled "Yes", that means the Network Camera has already been installed.

○Type the desired IP address if it is other than the IP address given by the DHCP server.

○Check the box to fix the IP address of the Network Camera. Otherwise the Network

Camera will lose the network address at next system boot and you have to run this

installer again.

○Click

to progress the installation.

○After successful notification, administrators may keep the address information and

click directly on

to access the Network Camera in the default browser.

If the IP address is taken by another network device in the network, the Installer

program will pop out another message window to warn that the assigned IP conflicts. In

this case, administrators should ask the network supervisor for a vacant IP address.

While “Use this IP whenever system boots",

is checked, a dialog window may pop out to ask

for “Server FTP Port” and “Root Password”

because they are already changed by

administrators to other than default settings. If

the original settings are lost, restore default

settings and run software installation again.

Once the installation is complete, administrators should follow the First access to

Network Camera section for necessary checks and configurations.

Manual way with existing programs

For those environments such as MAC, Linux, Unix or other operating systems, whose

installer is not yet available, some common network tools including ARP and PING can be

used to install Network Camera. Before proceeding further, make sure ARP and PING

programs exist.

First, type arp –s “assigned IP address” “Ethernet address” to add an entity in the

system’s name table. The Ethernet address is identical to the serial number of Network

Camera and should be typed in the appropriate format like “uu-vv-ww-xx-yy-zz” or

“uu:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz”, which depends on the operating system.

Once the name entity is added, type ping "assigned IP address” to invite the new

Network Camera. If it replies, that means Network Camera has accepted the assigned IP

address and is ready for access. The first several ping requests may fail during the

self-configuration period of Network Camera. Since the accurate grammar of ARP and

PING depends on the operating system, refer to its related help manual.

First access to Network Camera

Change initial password of administrator

Starting the Web browser to connect to the assigned IP address of Network Camera,

users will be asked for user name and password by an authentication message window.

A root password, identical to the Network Camera's serial number, is needed for the

initial access to a newly installed Network Camera. The administrator must change the

root password immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root

password should be well memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After

changing the password, the browser will display an authentication window again to ask

for the new password. If the root password is deleted as blank, the authentication

mechanism will be disabled.

Manage user privilege

For complete protection from illegal usage, Network Camera provides three privileges

and always needs user name and password before access. The lowest level is DEMO

mode whose services are subject to administrator's permission. The standard level is the

USER mode that consists of twenty user profiles. Each user is able to access Network

Camera under the given privilege, except for system configuration. The twenty user

profiles are also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is ROOT mode that

only opens to administrators for initial setup, system configuration, user administration

and software upgrade. The user name of the administrator is internally assigned to

“root”.

Complete the network settings

Although Network Camera already can be accessed after software installation in local

area network, administrators should complete the network settings in the configuration

page. The complete network configurations including subnet mask as well as the IP

address of default gateway and DNS are provided by your network administrator or

Internet service provider. Once the wrong network settings make Network Camera fail to

work, refer to Appendix A to restore factory default settings.

By default Network Camera will need administrator's installation every time it reboots. If

the network settings are sure to work all the time, disable the install option in network

configuration Web page or Installer program.

Details about configurations are described in the relative category of the Chapter

Definitions of Configuration.

How to Use

Open your familiar web browser and connect to Network Camera just like any general

web site and the video will present on demand. Make sure the web address of the target

Network Camera is accurate.

Authentication

After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of Network Camera, a dialogue

window will pop out to request a username and password. For administrator’s initial

usage of Network Camera, enter the username as “root” and the password as the serial

number in capital letters. The serial number can be found on the labels under the body

of Network Camera and the top side of the carton. The primary users will be allowed to

enter as soon as the administrator finishes adding user profiles. Upon successful

authentication, the main page will be displayed.

For demonstration purpose, enter the Security Web page of configuration to activate the

demo account and choose permitted services. Once the demo account is setup, any one

may watch the video by using “demo” as user name while ignoring the password.

Different from primary users, the demo account has certain limitations that are

determined by administrators.

System Configuration

Introduction

The system configuration can be easily done remotely on Internet Explorer through the

Web interface. There are two wizards in addition to classified categories of system

configurations. They can give friendly instructions and facilitate the setup job.

Alternately administrators may type directly the URL of system configuration,

“http://<IP address of Network Camera>/setup/config.html”, to directly enter the

configuration page. If administrators also want to set certain options through the URL,

read the relative section in the Chapter Advanced Usage for reference. Network Camera

also supports FTP to modify the system configuration file, CONFIG.INI, for technical

usage. The details are described in the Chapter Advanced Usage.

Since it is a networking video server, administrators should run “Setup wizard” or well

configure “Security”, “Network” and “Video” at least. To utilize the built-in features of

security and web attraction, run “Application wizard” or configure “Application” and

“Demo”. Besides these features, administrators can adjust the system date and time in

“System”, or have different homepage layout by configuring “Homepage layout”.

Network Camera also provides some system maintenance like “View log file”, “View

parameters” and “Factory default”.

Setup Wizard

The setup wizard will guide administrator to enter necessary information including

system name, current date and time, administrator’s password, video configuration and

captions, and network settings. Administrators can exit the procedures anytime to

reserve the current configuration. Finally the setup wizard will ask for reboot to validate

the changes and administrators can decide to reboot later.

Application Wizard

There are two main applications including surveillance system and web attraction by

means of Network Camera. The former one will utilize the built-in motion detection and

external sensors to integrate with the existing e-mail or FTP server or external alarms to

construct a security system. It also possesses the weekly schedule for timed monitoring.

The later one will customize the main page to your personal style and setup accounts for

your possible visitors. The application is perfectly constructed and performed on several

clicks by your fingertip. Administrators can additionally configure the application

parameters in the Application page of configuration for more advanced usage after using

Application wizard.

Definitions of Configuration

System parameters

Change host name

The “host name” is used for the homepage title of main page and displays as the title

over the video window on the main page. The maximum string length is 40 characters or

20 characters in double-byte-character-systems like Chinese or Japanese.

Adjust date and time

There are three ways to adjust system date and time. The easiest is to make Network

Camera "Sync with computer time". The second “Manual” is to set the date and time

manually by entering new values. Notice the format in the related field while typing. The

third “Automatic” is to make Network Camera automatically synchronize with

timeservers over the Internet every month. It may fail if the assigned NTP server

cannot be reached or Network Camera is within a local network. Leaving the NTP server

blank will let Network Camera connect to default timeservers. Domain name or IP

address format is acceptable as long as DNS server is available. Do not forget setting the

"Time zone" offset for local settings. Refer to the Appendix E for the time zone of your

region. It only affects the hour in NTP method. “Update interval” can make the server

to synchronize the system time to NTP server every hour, every day, every week or every

month.

Once the settings are changed, click on

To change the administrator’s password, type the new password in both text boxes

identically. What is typed will be displayed as asterisks for security purposes. The

maximum password is 16 characters. After pressing

Add new users

To add a new user, type the new user's name and password, check respective privilege,

and then press to insert the entry. There are a total of twenty user accounts. Each

user can have independent access right of the video channel and external I/O access.

Edit user’s privilege

If the permitted rights of some user has to be changed, pull down the user list to find the

user name and press

. A new window will pop out for administrators to change

password and choose different privilege.

Delete existing users

To delete a user, pull down the user list to find the user name to be deleted and press

. A message window will pop up for confirmation.

Demonstration account

To setup Network Camera for demonstration to the public, administrators need to choose

the service(s) to be permitted. After checking “view” in Security page, users may use

“demo” as general user name and password is not required. Administrator also can

assign “ I/O access” option to demo account. To separate the demo account from primary

users can prevent from interfering with the normal operations.

Enable snapshot mode for more users

The maximum users that can view Network Camera at the same time are twenty.

Administrators can check “Allow more guests with snapshot mode” to enable the

snapshot mode for more users. Then the users over twenty will have the main page with

snapshot mode instead of normal motion picture. It is practical for web attraction. In

such case, configure the “Snapshot interval” to achieve better performance. The

bigger interval between snapshots, the more users can have snapshot mode work.

Network settings

Fix the IP address

To eliminate incautious mistakes during installation, Network Camera will stay in

installation mode whenever it starts unless "Reset network at next boot" is disabled.

This option can also be disabled using the Installer program. Once the option is disabled,

Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot and the Installer program will not

find the installed units. That implies that Network Camera cannot be accessed if no one

remembers the IP address, except for restoring factory default settings. However, with

this option disabled Network Camera can automatically operate normally after restarting

in case of losing power.

Basic network settings

Administrators may need to modify the network settings to fit into existing networks.

The subnet mask in some broadband service may differ from the default value

255.255.255.0 and service providers may assign more specific network settings.

Administrators should change the configuration to what given by the service provider.

The configuration may include "IP address", "Subnet mask", "Default router",

"Primary DNS server" and "Secondary DNS server". After changing network settings,

be sure to leave "Reset network at next boot" blank to skip next installation when the

system restarts. Otherwise those network settings will be erased at the next start.

Bandwidth utilization limit

Each Network Camera can be limited in bandwidth utilization by administrators

according to its priority and importance of location. "Bandwidth limit" is most useful to

balance network utilization when multiple Network Camera’s are installed in the same

network. It is more effective than changing image quality only and achieves better

performance with adequate image size and quality.

Changing port number of servers

For security or network integration, administrators also can hide the server from the

general HTTP port by changing "HTTP port" to other than default 80. “Local FTP

server port” can also be changed to other than default 21. Administrators should have

enough network knowledge to change the default port.

E-mail settings

Network Camera not only plays the role of server, it will also actively connect to servers

outside to send out messages or snapshots. When Network Camera starts, it will send

out a system log via e-mail as long as the settings are correct rather than upload it via

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

FTP. Even in modem application, Network Camera will send out a connection log

whenever it dials out to an ISP or dialup server outside. If the administrator has setup

some applications in either event mode or sequential mode, Network Camera will send

out snapshots once conditions are met. To activate e-mail function, enter correct

settings of "SMTP (mail) server" and "Recipient email address". "Secondary SMTP

(mail) server" and "Secondary email address" are provided for backup connection

when the primary one fails. “Return email address” is whom the mail will return when

the SMTP server rejects upon any failure. Some ISP may reject the mail if the address is

invalid.

FTP settings

To send the log files described in the above paragraph via FTP, the SMTP server should be

erased. Administrators must enter correct "Primary FTP Server", "Primary FTP user

name" and "Primary FTP password". "Primary FTP remote folder" is the relative

sub-folder in the remote FTP server. If the port of the remote FTP server is changed other

than 21, set the real port to “Primary FTP server port”. If the local network is

protected by a firewall to prevent from initiating FTP connection from the remote FTP

server, you may be able to connect to the FTP server but unable to put any file due to

data channel connection failure. Check “Primary FTP passive mode” for passive

transfer solution. Another set of "Secondary" server settings is also provided for backup

connection.

In either e-mail or FTP, the primary server information should be entered first. If the

primary server is not set, the related FTP or email will be cancelled. Note that it may take

time to connect to the secondary server after the first one fails and it may affect some

applications when conditions happen too often.

After everything is set, click on

. A warning message will pop out for confirmation.

After clicking on , Network Camera will automatically restart. If "Reset network

at next boot" is kept checked, perform software installation again. Otherwise Network

Camera will boot up according to the new configuration automatically.

Any change made to this page will make the system restart to validate. Make sure

every field is correctly typed before clicking on

. If Network Camera fails to response

due to erratic settings, perform the restore procedures and run software installation.

Administrators should notice that the basic network settings including IP address,

subnet mask, default router and DNS servers will be cleared when the network interface

is switched to the other between Ethernet and modem.

Video and motion detection

Adjust image settings

"Time stamp" and "Text on image" will be enclosed in image for reference. The

timestamp is captured from date and time of Network Camera that is maintained by an

on-board real-time clock. "Color" setting is independent of the connected camera and

“B/W” option can speed up the encoder a little. “Default size” option here will be the

default size of video window when users first connect to Network Camera. “Default

quality” option here will be the default quality when users first connect to Network

Camera. To adjust image settings for best visual quality, press

and a

motion picture window will pop up for your reference. There are four fields including

"Brightness", "Contrast", "Hue" and "Saturation" for video compensation. Each field

has eleven levels ranged from -5 to +5. While adjusting, administrators can click on

to close this window. If parameters are changed

without saving, they will be used until the next system startup.

Configure motion detection

The channel can have its own settings of motion detection independently. The settings

including “Object size” and “Sensitivity” allow administrators fine tune to fit into the

environment. The “Object size” decides the space ratio of motioned objects over the

monitored screen. The “Sensitivity” sets the measurable difference between two

sequential images that would indicate motion. The larger object size and lower

sensitivity will make Network Camera ignore small variations in images. While the

motion amplitude of some object in the monitored screen is over the settings, a white M

in red background will indicate at the upper-right corner of the window.

Motion detection is provided as reference because it is very environment-dependent.

Especially working by the very sensitive settings, some triggered events may be

considered as false alarms though there is tiny difference happening indeed. It can be

affected by florescent light flashing, shadow shifting, and so on.

Application constitution

Administrators can use combinations of options on the application page to perform many

useful security applications. Network Camera provides two application modes; one is

performed according to the settings on the web page, the other is performed according

to the external command script. Though most settings will automatically be done by the

Application Wizard, administrators still can adjust the settings from this page.

Weekly schedule

A useful weekly schedule is provided for daily security application. Administrators can

select weekdays from Monday to Friday with the daily schedule from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm

that no one is at home to perform any event checking. If the security system needs to be

installed in office that no one is there during the nights or weekend, administrators just

set the time period as above, then check “All the time except for the above

schedule” for opposite operations.

External command script

Administrators can write a script named SCRIPT.TXT to perfectly match the additional

software according to the Command Script for Complex Applications section in the

Chapter Advanced Functions. After uploading this script to Network Camera via FTP,

check the option “Enable the external script file to exclude the following settings”.

Otherwise Network Camera will operate according to the settings below.

Event operation

Network Camera provides general options for two basic applications, event operation

for security and sequential operation for web attraction. In event operation,

administrators have to setup some conditions to check and some actions to happen

consequently. The conditions include motion detection and the status of digital input.

While checking “Detect motion” box, administrators should click “Motion Detection”

button on Video page or click “Motion Detection” link in Application page to configure

the appropriate parameters. In the newly opened window, percentage of object size

over whole window and sensitivity can be fine tuned to fit into the environment. If any

motion is over the settings, an ‘M’ will appear on the upper-right corner of image for

indication. The ‘M’ will appear in the image to indicate some motion is detected as long

as “Show alert in image” is checked. If there are any sensors attached to the digital

input, administrators can set the state to fire alarm. There are four states of “Input is

High”, “Input is Low”, “Input is Rising” and “Input is Falling”. The edge trigger like

“Rising” or “Falling” is generally used to detect the emerging signal from the external

sensor. Once any event happens, administrators can select “Delay second(s) after

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

event” option to drive some device attached to the digital output several seconds after

the event happens and/or send snapshots that are taken right at the moment. . If

administrators want to receive some snapshots to check the event, please check the

“Upload snapshot while input condition match” box to get snapshots when

inputting condition is matched the setting or check the “Upload snapshots while

motion detected” box to get snapshot when motion has been detected. Network

Camera will take three snapshots of pre-event, the moment of event, and post-event for

video channel. Three snapshots of the channel can also be downloaded via FTP or HTTP

URL. Refer to the Download Event-triggered Snapshots section for details.

Sequential operation

With this feature, Network Camera can upload snapshots periodically to external server

as a live video source. The interval can be set from tenth second to several hours. The

external server must be setup correctly in the Network configuration page.

Sending method

Either event mode or sequential mode can select one method between email and FTP.

The companied external server must be setup correctly in advance. If email is chosen,

the snapshots of the video channel will be attached in the emails. If FTP is chosen,

administrators can choose to add date and time in the file name of snapshots. If the

snapshots are used as the live video source, the date and time suffix can be eliminated

to update the same source file.

The option “Show alert in image” may be set when running application wizard or

configuring motion detection. Administrators should manually uncheck it if no indication

of motion detection is needed in the image.

Homepage layout

There are two homepage display modes. One is "Image mode" that uses graphics for

links; the other is "Text mode" that mostly uses text for links.

Administrators may easily give Network Camera a different presence of homepage. The

"logo graph" for the system logo at the upper-left corner can be hidden; or the default

image from the system memory can be used; or an external resource can be used by

assigning a URL. The "Background graph" is similar. Default images of the system can

be customized but limited by memory size. Images from external resources can be

larger and more beautiful but will need more time to load. If the background is skipped,

the background color will fill the browser window. Administrators also can give the

system logo a "Logo link" to connect to another web site while clicked. The "Font color"

and "Background color" can be chosen from sixteen colors as you like. See the

Customize graphics in homepage section in the Chapter Advanced Functions for how to

replace the default images of log, background and buttons of video switch.

If any necessary image is lost while homepage layout is image mode, Network

Camera will switch to text mode automatically.

View log file

There is some useful information in the system log including current system

configuration and activity history with timestamp for tracking.

View parameters

The whole system parameters will be categorized listed for administrators to check. The

content is the same as CONFIG.INI.

Factory default

It is used to restore the factory default settings. This means any changes made before

will be lost and the system will be reset to the initial status as shipping out of the factory.

After confirmation, the system will restart and require the software installation to setup

the network.

Uploading Snapshots Periodically

Upload snapshots to external FTP server

In sequential mode, Network Camera will send out snapshots according to interval and

period settings. If snapshot files are intended for quick updates, it is better to skip date

and time suffix. The file name will then be video.jpg. If the snapshots are used for

occasional monitoring, suffix with date and time can help administrators classify them

easily.

Send snapshots to external SMTP (email) server

Comparing to the FTP method, email will induce more delay. But the email can notify

users for prompt action.

Customize Graphics in Homepage

While in text mode, there is a small icon named BTN_TEXT.GIF preceding with each link

that can be changed by administrators. While in image mode, the default method will use

the image stored in Flash memory. The followings are the referenced file name and size

limitation of each stored images. Administrators may customize preferred image under

the size limit and put to the specific name via FTP. Administrators can download the

original images before upload for backup.

Command Script for Complex Applications

Besides the application wizard, Network Camera provides a more professional command

script for advanced applications. The command script will be executed exclusively with

the settings in Application page of system configuration except for the weekly schedule.

To build the advanced application, follow the steps below.

1. Use any text editor to edit the appropriate command script according to the command

format. The script size cannot exceed 500 bytes.

2. Save the script as a file named “SCRIPT.TXT”.

3. Use FTP with administrator’s privilege to upload the script file.

4. Enter the Application page in system configuration to define the time period in weekly

schedule. If it is supposed to run any time, keep the original settings but check the

option “All the time except for the above schedule”.

5. Check the option “Enable the external script file to exclude the following settings” to

activate the command script.

Configure System via FTP

Administrators can use FTP to configure Network Camera much quicker than Web page

especially for multiple targets. To configure system via FTP, first download the parameter

file, CONFIG.INI, to customize each field according to the environment and then upload

back to validate the new settings. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the user

name and the same password used when connecting to the Web server. The serial

number of Network Camera is the password for the initial access.

The file is composed of eight categories: [SYSTEM], [LAYOUT], [NETWORK], [VIDEO],

[ALERT], and [DEMO]. The category name in brackets should be in upper case. The item

name in angle braces should be in lower case. Some items related to disable/enable

should use the keywords “YES”/“NO”. The number zero entry in <user name> and <user

password> is for administrators, i.e. “root”. Basically Network Camera will restart

automatically as soon as the file is accepted. If administrators want to cancel the reboot

procedure, set the first item, <reset system> to NO. It will take effect once only and

always show YES in the download file.

A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the

Telnet Commands

Network Camera has a Telnet daemon for only administrators to access some seldom

used functions. Using any general terminal program to connect to Network Camera will

prompt the user for a password. Username is not requested here since only

administrators can access the Telnet daemon. The password is as same as that used in

web access. After logging in, type "help" for the command list. If "debug" or "dinote" is

not executed, Telnet will disconnect automatically after being idle for 1 minute.

System core debugging

General activities are recorded into SYSTEM.LOG continuously, but information about

abnormal status is not. To look deep into the core debugging information, administrators

may type the “debug” command. This will cause Network Camera to start dumping the

detailed debugging information while the system is running. This is useful to examine if

any error has occurred when the system operates abnormally. The stored information

will be cleared automatically after the dump. Network Camera will continue to dump new

messages unless the connection is broken. If Telnet is not connected, any messages will

be stored until administrators re-login.

Monitor changed status of digital input

Typing "dinote" will make Network Camera send the current status of digital input. After

that Network Camera will continuously monitor DI status and send messages only when

the state has changed. For example, after typing "dinote" the terminal will display

DI1=L

and after DI1 changes to H, terminal will display

DI1=H

Stop information dumping

Typing "stop" will cease dumping debug information and the digital input status.

Query status of digital input

Typing "diquery" will display the status of all digital input once.

Set digital output

To set digital output to connect NO with COMMON, type "DO1=L".

To set digital output to connect NC with COMMON, type "DO1=H".

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Erase snapshots stored in Flash memory

Typing "erase image" will clear all snapshots saved in Flash memory.

Erase logo and graphic buttons

Typing "erase graph" will clear all images used on the homepage. If no new images are

uploaded, the system will switch to text mode and use default images instead.

Skip installation at next boot

Typing "lock" will inform Network Camera to fix current network settings. It need not

wait for installation during the next boot.

Reset network for new settings

Typing "unlock" will make Network Camera give up current settings and wait for

installation.

Restore factory default settings

Typing "clear" will make Network Camera restore factory settings but not restart. To

validate new settings, type "reset" to make the system restart.

Reset system

Typing "reset" will make Network Camera perform a software reset.

Other patterns

Reset and restore

Sometimes resetting the system can make the system

back to normal state. If the system still has problems after

reset, restore the factory settings and install again.

RESET: Poke the wrench to click on the button.

RESTORE:

1. Poke the wrench to press on the button continuously.

2. Wait for self-diagnostic to run twice.

3. Withdraw the wrench as soon as the second

self-diagnostic starts.

Restore the factory defaults will lose any previous settings. Reset or restore the

system after power on.

B. Frequently Asked Questions

Q Why can’t I see the Network Camera in the installer after reboot?

A The installer is only used to install the IP address of Network Camera. If the IP address

is fixed by checking the option in the installer, the Network Camera will no longer appear

in the installer.

Q Why can’t I connect the Network Camera after reboot?

A If the IP address is not fixed, Network Camera will always wait for installing command

for a valid IP address. That means the previous IP address will not be used if the option

in the installer is not checked; or the option in the network configuration is not cleared.

The benefit of waiting for a valid IP address by default is that administrators can find the

Network Camera in the installer to prevent IP conflict. As long as the IP address is

confirmed, it is suggested to fix the IP address to make Network Camera automatically

start up whenever regaining power.

Q What if I forget my password?

A Every access to Network Camera needs authentication. If you are not a permitted user,

you may view the images or control the camera as long as the demo account is opened.

The demo account user may use username as “demo” without any password to access

limited features. If you are one of the managed users, you have to ask the administrators

for the password. If you are the administrator, there is no way to recover the root

password. The only way to regain access to Network Camera is to restore the factory

settings and reinstall it.

Q Why can’t I watch video from Network Camera after it is authenticated?

A There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem,

1. If you have just installed Network Camera and are unable to watch the video, check if

the video input is enabled and the video modulation in Configuration page.

2. If Network Camera is well installed and you are accessing Network Camera for the first

time using Internet Explorer, adjust the security level of Internet Explorer to allow

installation of the plug-in.

3. If the problem still exists after adjusting, the current users may be over the system

allows.

4. In case that you use demo account, the administrator may protect the video from the

public.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Q How can I use a name instead of the IP address to connect Network Camera?

A To allow users to connect to Network Camera through an easily memorized name, the

administrators must first configure the name server in his network. Here is an example:

the administrator installs the Network Camera with a reserved IP address and assigns it

with a name in the domain name service, then users can connect to Network Camera by

typing a name instead of IP address. If there is DHCP service in the network, the IP

address must be excluded in the DHCP service to prevent from IP conflict.

Q What is the plug-in for?

A The plug-in provided by Network Camera is used to display motion pictures on Internet

Explorer that does not support server push technology. If your system does not allow

installation of any plug-in software, the security level of web browser may need to be

lowered. It is recommended that you consult your network supervisor in your office

regarding the adjustment of the security level.

Q Why is the timestamp different from the system time of my PC or notebook?

A The timestamp is based on the system time of Network Camera. It is maintained by a

real-time clock inside and automatically synchronizes with the time server if Network

Camera is connected to the Internet and the function is enabled. Differences of several

hours may result from the time zone setting.

Q Why does the image not refresh regularly?

A In a modem environment, it is because the bandwidth of PPP connection is far less

than Ethernet. If the difference of the timestamp is not stable, adjust the UART FIFO

lower in both receiving and transmitting from modem property in the control panel.

While in Ethernet, it may be due to time taken in storing snapshots into memory upon

events occurring.

Q How many users are allowed to watch Network Camera at the same time?

A To achieve the best effect, Network Camera will allow twenty users to connect at the

same time. Excess users can get an auto-refreshed still image in homepage instead. It is

recommended to build another web server to host a large quantity of users by retrieving

images from Network Camera periodically.

Q How fast is the video rate of Network Camera?

A The JPEG codec can process 30 frames per second internally. However the total

performance is subject to many coefficients as follows,

1. network throughput,

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2. bandwidth share,

3. number of users,

4. number of video input is accessed at one time,

5. the complicated objects in view results in larger image file,

6. the level of your PC or notebook which is responsible of displaying images.

In general, the transfer rate in general local network environment can achieve over 200

kilobytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 pictures of normal environment per

second. The general frame size is illustrated in the follow table for reference.

Q How can I keep Network Camera as private as possible?

A Network Camera is designed for surveillance purpose and has many flexible interfaces.

The user authentication and special confirmation in installation can keep Network

Camera from unauthorized access. You may also change the HTTP port to non-public

number. You can check system log to examine any abnormal activities and trace the

origins.

Q Why can I see image files when I use dir in FTP even if the alarm is not triggered?

A Every time Network Camera starts, it will capture the images as vpre.jpg. If there are

previously saved image files that are not retrieved, Network Camera will keep them until

they are accessed.

Q How will the stored images be processed if Network Camera loses power?

A If user has defined the snapshot interval, Network Camera will capture images

periodically. Once the pre-defined condition is match, the pre-alarm images will be kept

and the current images will be saved. The subsequent images will be stored as

post-alarm stage. User may retrieve these files either by downloading via FTP or direct

Network Camera send them in e-mails. That means after monitoring conditions are met,

Network Camera will keep these image files until user retrieval even if power is lost.

Q If I set Network Camera to send e-mails of images whenever the conditions are met,

will my e-mail account overflow?

A It is recommended to use transient state rather than steady state. For instance, use

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

‘Input is Rising’ and ‘Input is Falling’ rather than ‘Input is High’ and ‘Input is Low’ to let

the condition be triggered only when state is changed.

Q The image is not clear enough. Is anything broken?

A The lens can be fine adjusted by rotating the outer ring. Please rotate it clockwise or

counter-clockwise to focus near or far.

C. Upgrade System Firmware

Customers can frequently check the appropriate product folder on our web site to

download the latest firmware. Only administrators can upgrade the system firmware of

Network Camera.

Easy way via Upgrade Wizard

Run the Upgrade Wizard included in the product CDROM and proceed by the prompts.

Refer to the user's guide of Upgrade Wizard for details.

Alternative via FTP

1. Decompress the compressed file in a local folder. A file named FLASH.BIN should

appear.

2. Use the FTP program and change the working directory to the local folder where

FLASH.BIN exists.

3. Connect to Network Camera with user name as “root” and password.

4. Use the PUT command to upload FLASH.BIN to Network Camera. The file size is near

1.5 mega bytes. It will take approximately 2 seconds in a local network, 2 minutes by

null modem connection or 6 minutes by modem, but still subject to user's network.

5. After upload is complete, close the connection.

6. If the received FLASH.BIN is checked without error, Network Camera will update the

software in Flash memory and restart automatically. When Network Camera starts

writing firmware, both status LED indicators will stay on until system restarts. It takes

about 30 to 40 seconds. User must keep the power stable during the update process.

After the system restarts, Network Camera may need installation depending on whether

the “Reset network at next boot” option is enabled or not. After Network Camera boots

up, reload the web page in the browser.

If power fails during the software upgrade, the program in the memory of Network

Camera may be destroyed permanently. If Network Camera cannot restart properly, ask

the dealer for technical service.
