1 Introduction
The network camera supports the network service for a sensor image with progressive scan,
which can be monitored on a real-time screen regardless of distances and locations. By us-
ing its dedicated program, many users are able to have an access to the network camera
at once or a single user can monitor various network cameras at the same time. It also
enables users to play, store and retrieve a monitoring image by using a PC. All the settings
and real-time monitoring screens are also provided through an access to theweb.
The network camera is fully featured for security surveillance and remote monitoring needs.
It is based on the DSP compression chip, and makes it available on the network as real-time,
full frame rate Motion JPEG and H.264 videostreams.
The alarm input and alarm output can be used to connect various third party devices, such
as, door sensors and alarmbells.

1.2 Key Features
• Brilliant video quality
The network camera offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drasti-
cally reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality.
Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.
• Wide Dynamic Range
The network camera provides digital WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) that improves video
exposure quality in scenes with high contrast between bright and dark areas in the
video, for example a shady area and a sunny area in the same scene.
• Quad Streams
The network camera can deliver quad video streams simultaneously at full frame rate
in all resolutions up to Full-HD (1920 x 1080p) using H.264 and Motion JPEG. This
means that several video streams can be configured with different compression for-
mats, resolutions and frame rates for differentneeds.
• Image setting adjustment
The network camera also enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast,
brightness and saturation to improve images before encoding takes place.
• Intelligent video capabilities
The network camera includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion
detection. The network cameras external inputs and outputs can be connected to de-
vices such as sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate
lights or open/close doors.
• Improved Security
The network camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its
full frame rate video can be provided overHTTPS.
• PoE (Power over Ethernet)
This network camera can be powered through PoE (IEEE802.3af), which simplifies
installation since only one cable is needed for carrying power, as well as video controls.
• ONVIF Certificate
This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, con-
sultans, and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video
technology. ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendor products, increased
flexibility, reduced cost, and future-proofsystems.
• Micro-SD Recording support
The Network Camera also supports a micro-SD memory slot for local recording with
removable storage of type SDHC and SDXC.
• Audio support
The Network Camera also supports two-wayaudio.

2 Installation
For the operation of the Network Camera, it is necessary to connect a network cable for
data transmission, power connection from supplied power adapter. Depending on operation
methods, it is possible to connect an alarm cable additionally. For its fixation on different
locations, please consult with aninstaller.

2.2 Connection
• Micro SD memory card insertion
Remove the bubble of the camera to insert the SD memorycard.
• Connecting to the RJ-45
Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally
a cross-over cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for
connection to a hub. You can also use a router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) to
supply power to thecamera.
• Connecting Alarms
AI(Alarm In): Youcan use external devices to signal the network camera to react on
events. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and G
(Ground) connectors.
G(Ground): Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G
(Ground)connector.
AO(Alarm Out): The network camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or
lights. Connect the device to the AO (Alarm Out) and G (Ground)connectors.
• Connecting the Power
Connect the power of 12 VDC 450mA for the network camera. Connect the positive
(+) pole to the ‘+’ position and the negative (-) pole to the ‘-’position for the DC power.
– Be careful not to reverse the polarity when connecting the power cable.
– A router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) can also be used to supply power to
the camera.
– For the power specifications, refer to the Appendix, Product Specification.
– If PoE and 12 VDC are both applied, the camera will be supplied with power from
PoE.
• Connecting Audio
Connect Speaker to Audio line output and external Mic to Audio input line.

The camera supports the operation through the network. When a camera is first connected
to the network, it is necessary to allocate an IP address to the device with the “Smart Man-
ager” utility on the CD. (Default IP192.168.30.220)
1) Connect the network camera/device to the network and power up.
2) Start Smart Manager utility (Start > All programs > Smart Manager > Smart
Manager). The main window will display, and after a short while any network devices
connected to the network will be displayed in thelist.
3) Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. You can see thepop-up
menu as below.
4) Select Assign IP Address. The Assign IP window will display. Enter the required IP ad-
dress.
NOTE: For more information, refer to the Smart Manager User’s Manual.

3.2 Access from the internet
Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access
the network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow
incoming data traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT traversal feature,
which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the network cam-
era. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.For more information, please
see “3.5.7 System > Network > NAT” of User’s Manual.
3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure connection
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user must be set.
This is done in the “Admin Password” dialog, which is displayed when the network camera
is accessed for the setup at the first time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the
administrator.
NOTE: The default administrator user name and password is “admin”. If the password is
lost, the network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. Please see “Resetting
to the factory defaultsettings.”
Toprevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via
an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see NOTEbelow).
Toset the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter itdirectlyinthefirstdialogshown
below. Toset the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, please see “3.5.7 System
> Security > HTTPS” of User’s Manual.
