Fixed Wireless/Wired IP Camera
1. Introduction
The IP Cam/w is designed with the “user-friendly” idea deep in mind The user can
install the IP Cam/w easily on his/her home network and then access the IP Camera
anywhere in the world through the accompanied video management software -
CamView program without setting some complicated DNS name or changing the
router’s settings It’s just a plug & play action
For indoor surveillance and remote monitoring, the IP Cam/w provides the best
image quality in its class, and excellent performance The IP Cam/w also provides the
best bandwidth efficiency, it offers 640x480 resolution, 30 fps frame rate, real MPEG4
image compression ability The built-in microphone enables remote users to not only
view, but also listen for additional monitoring options
Of course, with the built-in Web server, the IP Cameras can also be managed
from a standard web browser on a Windows computer
The IP Cam(w) provides both wireless IEEE 802 11 b/g and wired Ethernet
network interfaces for flexible installation It supports the WEP and WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) security modes to provide the best security for wireless networks (IP
Cam model only support wired Ethernet interface)
The IP Cam/w provides motion detection function Users can easily setup this
function and receive the notification with the snapshot images through email and/or ftp
when some motion events are detected
The IP Cam/w is ideal for securing small businesses, home offices and
residences over a local area network and/or the Internet
The differences
It’s very easy to see the video of the IP Cam/w, you only need to key in the
ID/Password of the IP CAM anywhere in the world, you do not need to remember the IP
address or domain name or DDNS name or port number And you do not need to modify
the settings (like port mapping, fixed IP, DDNS, virtual server) of the NAT/router devices, it’s
just a plug & play usage
So, the differences are the followings:
♦ Public IP address needed ? No
♦ Dynamic DNS needed ? No
♦ Port mapping in router? No
♦ Virtual server in router ? No
♦ UPnP support in router ? No
♦ hat’s needed ? ID and Password

2. Hardware description and quick installation/usage
The IP CAM is designed to be very easy to install and use First, let’s see the major
components of the IP CAM products
2.1. Major hardware components.
The major components on the front panel of the IP CAM products are the built-in
microphone, lens and LEDs :
1 Microphone - for receiving the audio/voice Effective distance is about 5 meters
2 Lens - the focus of the lens is fixed, you do not need to spend time to adjust the
focus, the effective focus range is from 40cm to infinity
3 Status indication LED (red) - this LED is to indicate the Internet connection status
When the Internet connection is connected, the LED will be constant red light If
there is any Internet connection problem, the LED will be blinking red light
4 Ethernet indication LED (blue) - this LED is to indicate if the Ethernet link is ok
and packet traffic is sending/receiving When the Ethernet cable is connected, the
LED is constant blue light When there is packet sending/receiving, the LED is
blinking blue light
Figure 2-1: Major components in the front panel
The major components on the back panel of the IP CAM products are the bracket
screw jack, power jack, Ethernet jack and reset button:
1 Bracket screw jack - this is the position to screw in the bracket of the IP CAM
With the bracket, you can put the IP CAM on the desk, on the wall or on the
ceiling
2 Power jack - this is the place to plug in the power adaptor The power needed for
this IP CAM is 5V/1 0A, please make sure you are using the correct power
adaptor

2.2. Quick installation and usage
There are only three things that you need to do to see the video from the IP CAM
1 Connect the IP CAM to the home/office network
2 Install the CamView software on the notebook/PC
3 Key in the ID/password of the IP CAM(from the IP/Password card) on the
CamView, and then you can see the video
First, Connect the IP CAM to the home/office network
Please connect the IP CAM accessories to the IP CAM body correctly, including
the antenna, bracket, power adapter and Ethernet cable, as shown in Figure 2-3 And
connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the home network or office network
Usually, this Ethernet cable is plugged into a home NAT/router device or an Ethernet
switch if in the office, as shown in Figure 2-4 Since the default settings of the IP CAM
use DHCP function and very often there is a DHCP server on most of the Home/office
network, the IP CAM should be connected to the Internet immediately The Internet
status LED is constant red light to indicate this good connection status If the LED is
blinking, please refer to section 3 3~3 5 to try other network settings

2.3. ireless connection (for IP Cam(w))
The IP Cam(w) can also be connected to the home/office network through the
802 11 b/g wireless connection There are only three things that you need to do to
have the wireless connection:
1 Set the WiFi security settings on the web configuration page
2 Test if the WiFi settings are correct
3 Unplug the Ethernet cable
First, set the iFi security settings on the web configuration page.
Make sure there is a WiFi router or AP on your home or office network Write
down the WiFi security parameters used in this WiFi AP/router, including the SSID ,
security mode, encryption protocols and the “key” values The supported WiFi security
mode of the IP CAM is WEP(64 bits and 128 bits) and WPA-PSK(TKIP and AES) In
most of the home/office WiFi environment, this is quite enough
The easiest way to set the WiFi settings on the IP CAM is through CamView
software Right-click the searched IP CAM in the “Auto Search” list and click the “Web
Configure” to open the login window of the IP CAM Fill in all the WiFi security
parameters you have written down The WiFi configuration is complete now
Please refer to section 3 4 for more detailed description if needed
Second, test if the iFi settings are correct
You can now test if the above WiFi settings are correct Click the “WiFi test” on
the “WiFi Security” settings web page The testing result will be displayed in less than
60 seconds If the test is failed, please check the WiFi security parameters and test
again
Third, unplug the Ethernet cable
If the WiFi test is successful, you can then enable the WiFi connection by
unplugging the Ethernet cable from the IP CAM The IP CAM will detect the Ethernet
cable unplugged condition and start the WiFi connection After the WiFi is connected,
the IP CAM will connect to the Internet immediately
Notice :
1 Please remember that the WiFi connection will use a different IP address, you will
need to do the “Auto Search” function in the CamView again to find the IP CAM
again after the WiFi is connected
2 If you want to switch back to the wired Ethernet connection, just plug in the
Ethernet cable into the IP CAM again Do not need to disable the WiFi function on

most of the home and office network environment, there is a DHCP server running In this
situation, by using this default settings, the IP CAM can work immediately in most of the
time
If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the IP CAM will lose connection But as soon as
the Ethernet cable is plugged in again, the IP CAM will obtain a new IP address
immediately
Figure 3-5: Network settings page for DHCP function
If the network environment does not support DHCP function, you will need to set the
network settings of the IP CAM manually Please fill all the fields including “IP
address”, “Subnet mask”, “Default gateway” and “DNS server” to let the network work All
these settings must be correct for your network environment, otherwise the IP
CAM can not work
