1 Getting familiar with your IP Surveillance Camera
1.1 Basic Introduction
This IP Surveillance camera is an ideal product for all kinds of video-surveillance
purposes, like home/office safety, kid/pet monitoring, and remote video acquisition
etc. Unlike conventional close-circuit video camera; you’re not limited to the length of
the cable. Once this IP camera is connected to Internet, you can receive video from
anywhere in the world where Internet access is available.
If installing an Ethernet cable for the surveillance camera is not feasible, we have a
wireless version of the IP surveillance Camera. This camera can connect to the
network wirelessly and communicate to the monitoring desktop/PC. The wireless
camera would require only the 12V power provided by the power adapter that comes
with the product package.
The wireless IP Surveillance Camera is highly secure unlike conventional analog
wireless camera, in which case video can be intercepted by anyone with a
compatible video receiver. The required security can be achieved by using data
encryption (WEP & WPA). All video transmitted over the air is encrypted preventing
any intelligent interception.
Setting up a secure wireless Camera is not a very complex process. The wireless IP
Camera supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), which allows users to setup wireless
security by just pressing a button or keying in a 8-digit number.
