1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
This IP camera series is a high performance mega-pixel network camera which is equipped with a
high resolutions OV 2M CMOS sensor and a resolution of up to 1920x1080 (FULL HD). This
powerful new series enables you to see fresh images in fine detail aided by a spectrum of high
resolutions. In addition the series is equipped with the dynamic H.264 video compression format,
the compression codec which ensures top image quality at a low bit rate. The 3GPP installed
mobile phone helps you see live scenes via the Internet as well. And this series provides you with
freshly designed, simultaneous video codec streams of H.264, MPEG4 and MJPEG. This function,
the multi-profile function, can simultaneously use different rates of resolutions while allowing
maximum 3 video codecs to connect with computers at the same time. This IP camera not only
offers the highest resolutions in images in the field, but also day and night, pre- and post-alarm, and
ePTZ functions.
Following are the special powers featured in this series.
FULL HD / 1920x1080 pixels
The series lets you view the video feed with a large field of high resolutions at FULL HD /
1920x1080 pixels that provide you with clear images in great detail.
H.264 compression
Currently, the H.264 is the most common and dynamic video compression format and a powerful
compression codec which delivers superior image quality at a low bit rate.
3GPP
Users can view a live scene via the Internet with a 3GPP installed mobile phone.
(Note: The 3G network bandwidth is limited; you can't use too large video size on your cell phone.)
Video Settings:
 Video Profile 1
 Maximum frame rate: 3 fps
 Intra Frame Period: 1 S
 Constant bit rate: 64 Kbps

5
In short, the series provides quality images and professional surveillance functions for
comprehensive security applications.
1.2 Product Features
 Adopts TI TMS320DM368 digital media processor.
 OmniVision 2M CMOS sensor.
 Simultaneous H.264, MPEG4 and MJPEG video compression.
 Three multi-profile applications: Selectable resolutions, frame rates, qualities, and image
chopping.
 Built-in IR-cut filter provides high quality images in low light conditions.
 Two-way audio.
 3GPP mobile surveillance.
 Advanced motion detection ( 512 zones. Sensitivity: 0 -100 % ).
 Built-in SD / SDHC card for schedule and alarm recording.
 Supports ONVIF.
 Full range of power options: DC12V / AC24V / PoE ( IEEE 802.3af ).

2.6 The USB function
By connecting the IP camera with a PC via the USB connector, the IP camera can provide two
different functions.
1. Insert an SD card: As a card reader.
Insert an SD card into the IP camera, then connect to the PC. You might transfer files between
the SD card and the PC. Once you've connected your IP camera to your computer, the Windows
system will detect the connection and ask you what you want to do with your SD card.
In other words, if the user connects the IP camera with an SD card and the PC via the USB
connector, the IP camera can be used as a normal card reader.
2. Remove an SD card: As a configuring tool.
Before using the USB configuration setting page, please remember to remove the SD card or
your PC will read the SD card and won’t show this window.

DHCP OFF
(default)
NOTE: After changing the settings, please click the “Apply” button. All of the options will
be effective after removing the USB connector.
NOTE: After the IP address has been changed and/ or reset, please unplug the network
cable, then plug it once again to make sure the network connection is in normal
mode.

3. INSTALLATION
Please follow the instructions and the diagram below to set up the system.
NOTE: The IP camera is linked by its Video Out connection via a BNC connector to a
monitor's Video In connection. If this connection is there, you can see some
information on the monitor screen, such as the IP camera factory default Static IP
address (192.168.1.168). But the IP camera Static IP address can only appear if there
is a connection between the IP camera and another device. If there is no such
connection, the IP camera factory default Static IP address will not appear on the
monitor screen.
3.1 Hardware Installation
1. Plug in the power connection to the IP camera.
2. Plug in the IP camera cable.
3. Confirm the correct network connection status (PC/ HUB/ IP camera).
4. In the PC IE Browser, key in the camera’s IP online to link up to the live first page.
NOTE: Red light power indicator of the IP Box Camera: it flashes when the power supply is
on.
Two-color network indicator:
1. It is off when the network is disconnected.
2. The green light goes on when the network is connected; the orange light flashes
indicate the network connection status.

3.2 Placing a Desiccant Pack Inside the Camera
The outdoor mini-dome/ bullet camera comes with a desiccant pack which is placed inside the
camera using a two-sided adhesive tape. The desiccant pack is for reducing the moisture and
humidity content inside the camera and prevents moisture from condensing on the lens or its cover.
If the user decides to remove the camera cover after more than a few months of camera use,
remove the used desiccant pack as well and place the replacement pack inside the camera.
1. Stick the piece of desiccant pack to the inner side of the camera.
2. Then use a two-sided adhesive tape to fix the desiccant pack.
3. Reattach the cover of the camera.

3.3 Updating System Software
If the system software of the IP Camera needs to be upgraded, please take the following steps to
safely process it.
Important: Before carrying out the following procedures, please ensure the SD card is
working and the file of the system firmware is intact
1. Create a directory named UPGRADE (upper-case or lower-case letters are no difference) in
the SD card if it does not exist.
2. Copy the file of UPDATE.BIN to the UPGRADE -directory.
3. If the IP Camera is running, please power it off first.
4. Insert the SD CARD into the IP Camera.
5. Remove the Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 port and then power on the IP Camera.
6. In 5 to 10 seconds, a message reading "UPDATE PROCESSING" will show up on the screen
on a blue background; if not, please check out steps 1 to 6 carefully or else inform your
technical support while ignoring the following steps.
7. DO NOT power off the IP Camera while this update process is running until the message
"UPDATE OK RESET PLEASE" appears on the screen; it might take 15 to 30 seconds to
appear.
8. If the message "UPDATE NG RESET PLEASE" appears rather than "UPDATE OK RESET
PLEASE", please write down the error messages shown on the screen and inform your
technical support, while ignoring the following steps.
9. Power off the IP Camera when this update process is finished, then remove the SD card from
the IP Camera.
10. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port if necessary.
11. Power ON the IP Camera and it will work normally if the entire update procedure goes
correctly.
12. Verify the version of the system software.
WARNING:
 Steps 1 to 2 have to be done on a PC.
 Make sure the file of UPDATE.BIN is a correct one in step 2, or the IP Camera will not
work normally after being updated.
 If the power of the IP Camera is suddenly lost in step 7, please remove the SD card first
and turn on the IP Camera next to test its operation. If the IP Camera remains working
normally, please go back to step 3; otherwise, please inform your technical support.
 In step 9, if the SD card is not removed and the IP Camera does not get online as well,
the updating process must be repeated again after rebooting the IP Camera.
 Make sure that the SD card is inserted in a correct position in step 4, or the IP Camera
will suffer permanent physical damage.
 If the message "CSUM ERROR" appears in step 7, it implies a problem in the file of
UPDATE.BIN.
 Don’t interrupt the process while the unit is updating itself; proceed with an SD card
not including any system software of the unit, or else the unit will crash.
