1. INTRODUCTION
It is recommended that you first read the Quick Setup Guide. This shows you how to set up your camera using
Peer to Peer (P2P). This setup method is extremely fast and easy, and will get you set up in a matter of
minutes. You can then refer to this Owner’s Manual for more advanced features.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The various screens throughout this owner’s manual will look different depending on the browser you use. Full
functionality is available when using Internet Explorer (IE) with ActiveX (OCX) installed. Limited functionality is
available with other browsers, such as Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
Please Read this manual carefully, according to the browser you are using.
This is an integrated wireless IP Camera solution. It combines a high quality digital Video Camera with network
connectivity and a powerful web server to bring clear pictures to your Desktop from anywhere on your local
network or over the Internet.
The main function of the camera is to transmit remote video over IP network. The high quality video image can
be transmitted with 30fps speed on the LAN/WAN by using MJPEG hardware compression technology. It is
based on the TCP/IP standard, build-in WEB server which supports Internet Explorer. Therefore the
management and maintenance of your camera becomes simple by using the network to achieve the remote
configuration, start-up and to upgrade firmware.
You can use your IP Camera to monitor your home or your office. Also, controlling and managing images are
simple by visiting the web site.

1.5 Hardware Installation
You need to set up your camera using a network cable (wired) first before you attempt to use it wirelessly. It is
recommended that you set the camera up indoors first, before routing the cables through an external wall to
mount it outdoors.
1. Install the Wi-Fi antenna.
2. Plug the power adaptor into the camera.
3. Plug the network cable into camera and router/switch.
4. It takes approx 30 seconds to boot up the camera, then you will find the IP address from “IP Camera Tool”
(Figure: 1.9).
5. When the power is on and the network cable is connected, the green LED on the rear panel will stay on.
The yellow LED will keep flashing, and the Indicator LED on the front of the camera will flash. (The
indicator LED can be controlled by software).

Figure 1.8
After this is done, the icon “IP Camera Tool” will be displayed on your desktop.
CAUTION: Before installing and using the product, please read the following precautions carefully and make
sure they are fully understood.
Use only the power adaptor included with the product. Use of an unauthorized power adapter may cause
damage to your IP Camera.
IP Camera can be installed in an outdoor environment.
Do not touch the lens of the IP Camera. The optimum focus range has been set for you. If you turn the lens, it
may cause incorrect focus and blurry images.
For firmware upgrading, refer to detailed instructions contained in the CD.
2. SOFTWARE OPERATION
2.1 IP Camera Tool
When the Device has been mounted properly, you can double-click the Icon “IP Camera Tool”
and a dialog box as Figure 1.9 will pop up.

10
Figure 1.9
Note: The software searches IP Servers automatically over your LAN. There are 3 cases:
1. No IP Cameras found within LAN. After about 1 minute search, the Result Field will show “not found IP
Server” and the program shut down automatically.
2. IP Cameras have been installed within LAN. All the IP Cameras will be listed and the total number is
displayed in the result field as shown in Figure 1.9.
3. The IP Cameras installed within LAN do not share the same subnet with the monitoring PC. A prompt will
be shown in result field (prompt: Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!). Click the left mouse
button to choose the prompt and click the right mouse button, choose Network Configuration to set the
static IP address of the Camera to the same subnet as your LAN. (Figure 2.3).
NOTE: If it shows” Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!” you can also choose ”Obtain IP from
DHCP Server” to get a dynamic IP. (Figure 2.2).
2.1.1 Six Options
Choose the IP Camera list and Click the right mouse button, there are six options: (Figure 2.0).
Basic Properties, Network Configuration, Upgrade Firmware,
Refresh Camera List, Flush Arp Buffer, About IP Camera Tool.
Figure 2.0

11
2.1.1 .1 Basic Properties
There is some device information in the Basic Properties, such as Device ID, System Firmware Version, and
Web UI Version.（Figure 2.1).
The Device ID is the camera’s MAC ID, which should be the same as shown on the sticker on the bottom of
the camera. Every camera has a unique MAC ID. So if there are many IP addresses shown in the list, check
the MAC ID on the bottom of the camera, so you can ensure which camera it is.
Sometimes, if there is no IP address shown on the IP Camera tool, it could be blocked by a firewall, in this
case you need to add the MAC ID to the router, and give it a fixed IP or add the MAC ID as a trusted site.
There are two MAC Addresses, one is the Device MAC ID, the other is the WIFI MAC ID.
WIFI MAC ID, you can find it on the sticker on the bottom of the camera, you can also login to your WIFI router,
check the host status, which will show all the WIFI devices connected to your router, you can also find the
IPCAM’s WIFI MAC ID there.
Figure 2.1
2.1.1.2 Network Configuration
Below shows how you can configure the Network parameters.
Figure 2.2

12
Obtain IP from DHCP server: If clicked, the device will obtain IP from DHCP server. In other words, the
camera will have a dynamic IP. (Make sure the Router which the camera connects to has DHCP function and
DHCP is enabled). (Figure 2.2).
Figure 2.3
IP address: Fill in the IP address assigned and make sure it is in the same subnet as the Gateway, and the
subnet should be the same as your computer or router. (I.e. the first three sections are the same).
Subnet Mask: The default subnet mask of the equipment is: 255.255.255.0. You can find the subnet mask
from your PC or router.
Gateway: Make sure it is in the same subnet with PC’s IP address .Here gateway is the LAN IP of your router.
DNS Server: IP address of ISP network provider. You can also set it to the same as the Gateway.
NOTE: You can find the Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS Server from your router, or check the local connection
status of your computer, to get all the parameters. Normally two DNS servers are optional.
Http Port: LAN port assigned for the equipment, default is 80. You could set another port number like 81, 801,
8001 etc.
User: Default administrator username is: admin (please make sure all are lowercase letters).
Password: Default password is bank, i.e. no password.
NOTE: If the prompt “subnet doesn’t match, double chick to change!” appears, please set the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway,DNS Server once again, or enable Obtain IP from DHCP server.
2.1.1.3 Upgrade Firmware
Enter the correct User and Password to upgrade system Firmware and Web UI. Please upgrade system
firmware first and then upgrade Web UI or it may damage the camera.（Figure 2.4).

13
Figure 2.4
Please download the firmware package for the correct type of your camera before you upgrade.
Follow the upgrade document carefully to upgrade. Please see readme file first before you upgrade.
CAUTION: You should not upgrade the firmware unnecessarily. It is possible to damage the camera if a
mistake is made during the upgrade. If your camera works well with the current firmware, we recommend that
you don’t upgrade it.
