1. Preface
This camera is a professional 2 Mega-Pixel CMOS network camera which builds in web
server. User views real-time video via IE browser. It supports H.264, JPEG and MPEG4
(3GPP Only) video compression which provides smooth and high quality video. The event
video can be stored in the SD card, and can be playback remotely.
This camera combines the features of a network camera with an infrared illuminator to
provide good image quality, even in darkness.
The PoE model built-in support for Power over Ethernet allows the camera to receive both
data and power over a single Ethernet cable.
This camera is an easy-to-use IP camera which is designed for security application.

to use these functionalities.
2. Connect Ethernet cable for network connection.
3. Connect power adapter to turn on the camera.
4. If the camera is PoE model, the power adapter is not necessary. The camera will get
the power from the PoE injector or PoE switch.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN
infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP
phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection.
It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations. Please follow the
below figure for the connection.
5. Set up the network configurations according to the network environment. For further
explanation, please refer to Network Configuration chapter.
I/O Connections
I/O connector – used in application, for e.g., motion detection, event triggering, alarm
notifications. It provides the interface to:
1 set of Digital Input (Alarm + GND) – The digital inputs for connecting devices
that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, such as PIRs, door/window
contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the status changes
and the input becomes active.
1 set of Relay Output (N.O. + COM or N.C + COM) – The output to Relay switch of
the alarm device such as LEDs, Sirens, etc.

C. IP Assignment
Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your
camera in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
MACAddress: Each network camera has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address)
shown on the sticker of the camera.
One final note, although the IP Search is able to find and configure any network
camera on the LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the
host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of
the network camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information
about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
There are 3 kinds of IP configuration:
Fixed IP (Public IP or Virtual IP)
DHCP (Dynamic IP)
Dial-up (PPPoE)
IP Search is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP
address and network settings of the network camera in Local Network (LAN). It even
provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously.
Moreover, IP Search can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and
restore them when necessary.
The software can be installed from the attached software CD.
1. Once IP Search has been successfully installed on the computer, double click the
“IP Search” icon on the desktop.
