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.

2.3 Network Connection and IP assignment
The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for
access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to
connected devices. By the factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically
via DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server the network camera will use
192.168.1.100 as the default IP address.
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the “Smart Manager” utility on the CD to
search and allocate an IP address to your products, or reset the product to the factory default settings
and then perform the installation again.
