1.2 Features and Benefits
This IP CCD D/N PoE Box Camera is a cutting-edge digital video
transmission device. It can compress and transmit real time images with
outstanding image quality (D1, 720x480) at reasonable bandwidth through a
standard TCP/IP network. That is because it is Ethernet ready and has the
powerful ARM9 SoC with excellent system performance to offer dual
streams of MPEG4/MJPEG, and both formats offer megapixel resolution. In
addition, with these powerful hardware platform, excellent SDK support
and powerful respective apparatuses (e.g. the transcoder), this IP CCD D/N
PoE Box Camera is your best choice building up either conventional IP
surveillance system or intelligent IP surveillance system.
MPEG-4/MJPEG Dual Streaming
This device supports MPEG-4/MJPEG with excellent system
performance. Superior video quality can be provided at up to 30 frames
per second in full D1 resolution.
Digital Time Code Embedded
The “Digital Time Code Embedded”function provides recording time
and embeds it in the MPEG bit stream. Therefore, each image frame is
tagged with its respective recorded time. It is very useful when users
want to find the video from an exact time or between a certain time
period.
DDNS Supported
This IP CCD D/N PoE Box Camera supports DDNS (Dynamic
Domain Name Server). Users can set this IP CCD D/N PoE Box
Camera at a virtual domain name (such as cam1.Taipei.xxx) that is
linked with its dynamic IP via DDNS service. Everyone can use the
virtual domain name to view the video from anywhere with internet
acess.
Built-in Hardware Motion Detection
No more external motion sensors are required. Each IP CCD D/N PoE
Box Camera can be set with up to 3 detection areas. By tuning the
object size and sensitivity, it can provide reliable motion detection in
all kinds of environments. Moreover, hardware motion detection
delivers better sensitivity andfaster response time than software motion
detection.

Powerful Bundled Surveillance Software
To extend the capabilities of the IP CCD D/N PoE Box Camera series,
a powerful surveillance program is included in the package and is free
to use. Users can easily utilize an existing PC to be a digital video
recorder. Scheduled recording and manual recording keep every
important image recorded in the local hard disk. Reliable and accurate
motion detection with instant warning enables immediate response in
every condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets
you easily find the images you want.
Software Development Kit Support
This IP CCD D/N PoE Box Camera can be integrated or controlled by
user’s application program through the Streaming Library or ActiveX
control. With its high level programming interface, software
developers can save a lot of time and effort while developing.

1.4 Physical Description
1. DC Iris
DC Iris Lens Control Port
2. Analog Video Output
The IP CCD D/N PoE Box Camera supports one channel analog
video output.
3. Ethernet Port
The IP CCD D/N PoE Box Camera connects to the Ethernet via a
standard RJ45 connector. This camera can automatically detect
the best network speed when connected to other
auto-negotiation(NWAY) supported devices.
(10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet).
4. Reset Button
Step 1: Switch off IP CCD D/N PoE Box Camera by

1-7
disconnecting the power cable
Step 2: Press and continue to hold the Reset Button with a
pointed object. Reconnect the power cable while still holding the
reset button.
Step 3: Keep the reset button depressed for at least 6 seconds
before releasing it. The unit will then start up with factory default
settings.
5. The I/O Terminal Connector
Used in applications like motion detection, event triggering, time
lapse recording, alarm notifications, etc., the I/O terminal
connector provides the interface to:
•1 transistor output - For connecting external devices such as
relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by Output
buttons on the Live View page or by an Event Type. The output
will show as active (in Event Configuration > Port Status) if the
alarm device is activated.
•1 digital input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can
toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example: PIRs,
door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is
received, the device state changes and the input becomes active
(shown under Event Configuration > Port Status).
•Auxiliary power and GND

Description
Pin 2
Auxiliary DC
Power input
(not to power
this camera)
Electrically connected in parallel with the con-
nector for the power supply, this pin provides an
auxiliary connector for mains power to the unit.
This pin can also be used to power auxiliary
equipment, with a maximum current of 100mA.
Voltage: 12V DC,
Max: 1.2W
Pin 3
Digital Input
Connect to GND to activate, or leave floating (or
unconnected) to deactivate.
Must not be exposed to
voltages greater than 30V
DC.
Pin 4
Transistor
Output
Uses an open-collector NPN transistor with the
emitter connected to the GND pin. If used with an
external relay, a diode must be connected in
parallel with the load, for protection against
transient voltages.
Max load = <100mA
Max voltage = 24V DC
(to the transistor)

The I/O terminal pins are numbered left to right, as shown below.
Connect input/output devices to the camera as follows:
1. Attach the cables for the device securely to the supplied green
connector block.
2. Once the cables are connected, push the connector block into the
terminal connector (also green) on the camera.
