1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
The freshly designed MJPEG and MPEG4 multi-stream compression codec Mega-Pix IP Fix ed
Dome provides simultaneous video codec streams of MJPEG and MPEG4. This IP camera not
only supports the 30 / 25 fps frame rate ( in the NTSC / PAL system ), motion detection and a built-in
microphone, but also the day and night, pre- and post-alarm, and PoE functions. The images from
this device have no interlace, and the camera sensor used is the 1/3" VGA CMOS sensor.
In addition, this IP camera hosts the powerful multi profile function which enables the simultaneous
use of different rates of resolution while allowing two video codecs to connect with computers at the
same time. Apart from this, the camera brings you the user-friendly PnP operations, and captures
alarm and scheduled recordings by using an SD card. Besides, the IP camera is equipped with a
vandal-proof body for day and night surveillance. With the specific 3-axis mechanical design, this
dome camera provides a flexible installation for ceiling or wall mounting, and wide angled viewing
which pans 360°and tilts 180°.
This new generation mega-pix IP fixed dome offers a more progressive digitalized image
technology and a user-friendly, controlled interface in the IE Browser to thoroughly update your
surveillance capabilities.

2.3 The USB function
By connecting the IP camera with a PC via the USB connector, the IP camera can provide two
different functions.
1. Insert an SD card: As a card reader.
Insert an SD card into the IP camera, then connect to the PC. You might transfer files between
the SD card and the PC. Once you've connected your IP camera to your computer, the
Windows system will detect the connection and ask you what you want to do with your SD
card.
In other words, if the user connects the IP camera with an SD card and the PC via the USB
connector, the IP camera can be used as a normal card reader.
2. Remove an SD card: As a configuring tool.
Before using the USB configuration setting page, please remember to remove the SD card or
your PC will read the SD card and won’t show this window.

(default)
NOTE: After changing the settings, please click the “Apply” button. All of the options
will be effective after removing the USB connector.
NOTE: After the IP address has been changed, please unplug the network cable, then
plug it once again to make sure the network connection is in normal mode.

3. UPDATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE
Please follow the instructions and the diagram below to set up the system.
If the system software of the IP camera needs to be upgraded, please take the following steps to
safely process it.
Important: Before carrying out the following procedures, please ensure the SD card is
working and the file of the system firmware is intact
1. Create a directory named UPGRADE (upper-case or lower-case letters are no difference) in the
SD card if it does not exist.
2. Copy the file of UPDATE.BIN to the UPGRADE -directory.
3. If the IP Camera is running, please power it off first.
4. Insert the SD CARD into the IP Camera.
5. Remove the Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 port and then power on the IP Camera.
6. In 5 to 10 seconds, a message reading "UPDATE PROCESSING" will show up on the screen on
a blue background; if not, please check out steps 1 to 6 carefully or else inform your technical
support while ignoring the following steps.
7. DO NOT power off the IP Camera while this update process is running until the message
"UPDATE OK RESET PLEASE" appears on the screen; it might take 15 to 30 seconds to
appear.
8. If the message "UPDATE NG RESET PLEASE" appears rather than "UPDATE OK RESET
PLEASE", please write down the error messages shown on the screen and inform your
technical support, while ignoring the following steps.
9. Power off the IP Camera when this update process is finished, then remove the SD card from
the IP Camera.
10. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port if necessary.
11. Power ON the IP Camera and it will work normally if the entire update procedure goes correctly.
12. Verify the version of the system software.

16
WARNING:
 Steps 1 to 2 have to be done on a PC.
 Make sure the file of UPDATE.BIN is a correct one in step 2, or the IP Camera will not
work normally after being updated.
 If the power of the IP Camera is suddenly lost in step 7, please remove the SD card
first and turn on the IP Camera next to test its operation. If the IP Camera remains
working normally, please go back to step 3; otherwise, please inform your technical
support.
 In step 9, if the SD card is not removed and the IP Camera does not get online as well,
the updating process must be repeated again after rebooting the IP Camera.
 Make sure that the SD card is inserted in a correct position in step 4, or the IP Camera
will suffer permanent physical damage.
 If the message "CSUM ERROR" appears in step 7, it implies a problem in the file of
UPDATE.BIN.
 Don’t interrupt the process while the unit is updating itself; proceed with an SD
card not including any system software of the unit, or else the unit will crash.

4. Network Configuration
4.1 Cable Connections
Please follow the instructions below to connect your IP camera to a computer or a network and to
choose a proper RJ-45 cable configuration for connections.
Physical specifications of the RJ-45 cable for Ethernet
Wire Type Cat. 5
Connector Type RJ-45
Max. Cable Length 100 m
Hub Wiring Configuration Straight Through
PC Wiring Configuration Straight Through
4.2 Configure Your IP Camera Network Settings
Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network function and
configure the proper network settings of the IP camera.
4.2.1 Enable DHCP Function
This function can onlywork if the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. If the
DHCP server is working, please turn on to use the DHCP protocol; now the IP CAMERA will
obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In this instance, please skip section
4.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 4.3 (TCP/IP Communication Software).
Note: T he IP D ome camera so ftware default s etting is DH CP OF F. Users ca n buil d the
camera working en vironment with a st atic IP address. T he defa ult st atic I P is
192.168.1.168. You can set a n IP a ddress f or t he camera if t he L AN u nit isn’ t
connected to a DHCP ser ver. Or turn on t o u se the DHCP p rotocol if t he D HCP
server is working in the LAN, The camera will obtain an IP address automatically
from the DHCP server. The camera is linked by its Video Out connection via a BNC
connector to a monitor's Video In c onnection. If this connection is there, you can
see som e inf ormation on t he monitor screen, such as t he camera fac tory d efault
Static IP address.

18
4.2.2 Set IP Address
You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.
Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:
Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The following is a sample setting.
IP: 192.168.1.X
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the IP camera is connected to a computer or LAN, you can
freely assign an IP address for the IP camera. For example, there is a range of IP
camera IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use
from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the
settings as default.
When an IP camera is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique,
permanent IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings
according to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding
those settings, please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected IP camera must be assigned a
unique IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP
addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,
192.168.1.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for
example, the first three sets of numbers of the IP camera IP address must be the
same as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B,
the first two sets of numbers of the IP camera IP address must be the same as the
network address. If you have any questions regarding these settings, please
consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
