high quality video with (1080p) 2.0 mega
pixel resolution. The
Remote Focus
capability allows you to optically zoom and
fine-focus the camera over the network,
eliminating the need to use two installers to
hand-focus the camera.
The IP66
weatherproof rating makes this bullet camera
suitable for outdoor applications such as gas
stations, retail parking lots and many others.
Costar Video’s IP cameras are compatible
with the iNEX user interface platform. The
iNEX user interface incorporates features
such as simplified user management,
advanced camera mapping and logical
camera grouping making it easier to monitor
and access each of your cameras. The iNEX
user interface also has the ability to integrate
both analog and IP camera technology on
the same platform allowing you to have a
diverse surveillance system. Costar Video’s
IP cameras are OnVIF supported. The
industry standard OnVIF protocol makes it
easy to integrate Costar branded IP cameras
with OnVIF compatible recorders.

1. Description
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 using 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 the web.
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 (or MPEG-4) video streams.
The alarm input and alarm output can be used to connect various third party devices, such as, door
sensors and alarm bells.
1.1 Components
The system comes with the following components:
Check your package to make sure that you received the complete system, including all components
shown above.
6

1.2 Key Features
• Brilliant video quality
The Network Camera offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically
reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG
is also supported for increased flexibility.
•Dual or triple streams
The Network Camera can deliver dual or triple video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in
all resolutions up to Full-HD(1920 x 1080p) using Motion JPEG and H.264 (or MPEG-4). This
means that several video streams can be configured with different compression formats,
resolutions and frame rates for different needs.
• 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 camera’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as sensors
and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors.
• Easy Focus
Easy Focus will be activated once Day/Night mode switched, and the focus readjusted
automatically.
• Focus & Zoom Control via Network
The Network Camera also enables users to adjust focus and zoom remotely via network.
•Resolution
2 Megapixel, 30fps@1920x1080
• Micro-SD Recording support
The Network Camera also supports a micro-SD memory slot for local recording with removable
storage.
• Improved Security
The Network Camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full frame
rate video can be provided over HTTPS.
• Power over Ethernet
Support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) enables the unit, as well as the camera module
that is connected to it, to receive power through the same cable as for data transmission. This
makes for easy installation since no power outlet is needed.
• ONVIF
This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants,
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-proof systems.

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 an installer.

to the network it has no IP address. So, it is necessary to allocate an IP address to the device with the
“Smart Manager” utility on the CD. The factory default IP is “192.168.30.220”.
1. Connect the Network Camera / device to the network and power up.
2. Start SmartManager utility (Start>All Programs>SmartManager>SmartManager), the main
window will be displayed, after a short while any network devices connected to the network will
be displayed in the list.
3. Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. You can see the pop-up menu
below.
4. Select Assign IP. You cam see a Assign IP window. Enter the required IP address.
Note: For more information, refer to the Smart Manger User’s
Manual

3.2. Access from the internet
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 camera. This is
enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.
For more information, please see “3.5.5 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 passwo
rd, set by the administrator.
Note: The default administrator username and
password is “admin”. If the password is lost, the
Network Camera must be reset to the factory
default settings. See
