SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All the following safety and operational instructions to prevent harm or injury to the operator(s) or
other persons should be read carefully before the unit is activated.
 This unit must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shocks.
 To prevent fire or electric shock, do not overload wall outlets or extension cord.
 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols for cleaning.
 Do not attempt to service this unit yourself, as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Please refer all servicing to
your distributor / retailer.
 Do not block ventilation openings.
 Do not place anything on top of the unit that might spill or fall into it.
WARNING
 To prevent fire or shock hazard, avoid exposing this unit to rain or moisture.

1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
This user-friendly device combines cutting-edge sophistication with practical reliability and
convenience. It features the self-downloading automatic video codec and other components, and is
very easy to set up. You can access the network to get smooth images through the real-time and
synchronized audio / visual stream provided by the device, because it supports two compression
modes, the MJPEG and the MPEG4 -- you can change from one to the other as you wish. The
MPEG4 file format is a very small size file, so it can save more images over a longer time and can
be set extremely fast. The device also has a built-in website server providing many Internet
functions and protocols, including the MDIX protocol which recognizes both the normal and the
crossover cables, either of which can connect up with an Ipxcam.
We hope this device makes it easier for you to get your IP address information. This unit supports
the USB interface which helps you to very easily get an IP address to open the IE browser: now just
type in your IP address to the browser and you can access your Ipxcam.
The device can hopefully provide the advanced motion detection function to improve your network
surveillance with both the powerful and enhanced multi-zone and multi-sensitivity modes of
detection. We believe this unit is the right answer to all your network surveillance problems. Try it
and you'll see.
1.2 Product Features
◆ The installation of a Codec or execution file is not necessary. The Ipxcam will
automatically send the Codec or any component to a PC if the latter requires it.
◆ Supports two compression modes, the Motion - JPEG and the MPEG4. You can
change from one to another as you wish.
◆ The MPEG4 is a very small size file, so it can save more images over a longer time and
can be sent extremely fast.
◆ Real - time synchronization of the video and audio functions.
◆ No latency. The unit will directly power on and run.

◆ Built-in Web Server and network connection.
◆ Position a camera any place you want – no PC required for operation.
◆ Supports the SD card as a local storage.
◆ Supports the VGA play mode.
◆ See live images in any network – connected PC.
◆ Surveill your house or off via the Internet.
◆ Supports the MDIX protocol that recognizes both the normal and the crossover cables,
either of which can connect up with an Ipxcam.
1.3 Technical Specifications
General:
‧Built-in Web Server and network interface. You don’t need a PC to operate.
Installation:
‧Fast and simple installation – connect to your network and assign an IP address within a
minute. The null modem cable enclosed helps you to set up without a network.
Camera:
‧Digital, 24-bit color.
Image sensor:
‧1/4 inch Sony progressive scan RGB CCD.
‧MPEG4 resolution (pixels): 640×480, 320x240
Exposure:
‧Automatic AGC.
‧White Balance: Indoor installation.
‧Exposure times: 1/30-1/27,000s.
Sensitivity:
‧Minimum Illumination: 1.5 Lux. F1.2
Image:
‧Image frame rate: up to 30 frame/second.
‧Supports two compression modes, the Motion - JPEG and the MPEG4.
‧5 levels of compression provided. The file size of a M-JPEG compressed image depends
on the image’s actual content. Images with a lot of detail will generate bigger files. The
level of compression determines the image quality. High compression requires smaller
files while low compression gives you finer image quality along with bigger files. The
table below contains the average file size in Kbytes, derived from real life tests.
