1.0 INTRODUCTION
This is an integrated wireless IP Camera solution. It combines a high quality digital Video Camera with
network connectivity and a powerful web server to bring clear pictures to your Desktop from anywhere on
your local network or over the Internet.
The main function of the camera is to transmit remote video over IP network. The high quality video image
can be transmitted with 30fps speed on the LAN/WAN by using MJPEG hardware compression technology.

1.5 Hardware Installation
You need to set up your camera using a network cable (wired) first, before you can use it wirelessly, so let’s
start with plugging in the network cable. Follow the steps below to set up your camera hardware.
1. Plug one end of the network cable into the camera, and the other end into an empty port of your
router/switch/modem.
2. Install the Wi-Fi antenna.
3. Plug the power adaptor into the camera and into an AC outlet.
4. It takes approximately 30 seconds to boot up the camera.
5. When the power is on and the network cable is connected, the green LED on the rear panel next to the
network cable will stay on, please make sure the Green light is on before we continue.
The yellow LED will keep flashing, and the Indicator LED on the front of the camera will flash when the
connection is established. (The behavior of the front indicator LED can be controlled by software).

September 2012 IPV688
In order to run smooth we will need to install the “ActiveX App” on each system we would like to use to visit
the camera. The “AppInstall” file is located in the same folder as the “IPCamSetup” file from the previous
steps. Please take the following steps:
4. ActiveX: Double click “Appinstall.exe”—“Next”—“Install”—“Finish”.

damage to your IP Camera.
Do not touch the lens of the IP Camera. The optimum focus range has been set for you. If you turn the lens, it
may cause incorrect focus and blurry images.

September 2012 IPV6811
Do not turn the Pan/Tilt by force, it may cause damage to internal components of the Pan/Tilt mechanism.
For firmware upgrading or connection with an external device, refer to detailed instructions contained in the
CD.
WARNING :On the first run of the program “IP Camera Tool” you might get a Windows Security Alert Popup. It
will ask you to choose a setting for the firewall. Please make sure you choose the ‘UNBLOCK’ option. Your IP
camera will not work without unblocking the firewall settings.
2.0 SOFTWARE OPERATION
2.1 IP Camera Tool
When the Device has been installed properly, you can double-click the Icon “IP Camera Tool”
and a dialog box shown in Figure 1.9 will pop up.
Figure 1.9
Note: The software searches IP Servers automatically over your LAN. It may take a few minutes before the IP
address appears in the list. There are 3 cases:

September 2012 IPV6812
1. No IP Cameras found within LAN. After about 1 minute search, the Result Field will show “not found IP
Server” and the program shut down automatically.
2. IP Cameras have been installed within LAN. All the IP Cameras will be listed and the total number is
displayed in the result field as shown in Figure 1.9.
3. The IP Cameras installed within LAN do not share the same subnet with the monitoring PC. A prompt will
be shown in result field (prompt: Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!). Click the left mouse
button to choose the prompt and click the right mouse button, choose Network Configuration to set the
static IP address of the Camera to the same subnet as your LAN. (Figure 2.3).
NOTE: If it shows” Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!” you can also choose ”Obtain IP from DHCP
Server” to get a dynamic IP. (Figure 2.2). If the camera still doesn`t show in the IP Camera Tool please use the
Reset button on the bottom of the camera and hold it for 15 seconds with the power on. (Figure 1.3)
Please be sure your computer is on the same network as the camera !
2.1.1 Six Options
Choose the IP Camera and Click the right mouse button on that camera, there are six options: (Figure 2.0).
Basic Properties,Network Configuration,Upgrade Firmware,Refresh Camera List,Flush Arp Buffer,About IP
Camera Tool.
Figure 2.0
2.1.1 .1 Basic Properties
There is some device information in the Basic Properties, such as Device ID, System Firmware Version, and
Web UI Version.δFigure 2.1).
The Device ID is the camera’s MAC ID, which should be the same as shown on the sticker on the bottom of
the camera. Every camera has a unique MAC ID. So if there are many IP addresses shown in the list, check
the MAC ID on the bottom of the camera, so you can ensure which camera it is.
Sometimes, if there is no IP address shown on the IP Camera tool, it could be blocked by a firewall, in this
case you need to add the MAC ID to the router, and give it a fixed IP or add the MAC ID as a trusted site.
There are two MAC Addresses, one is the Device MAC ID, the other is the WIFI MAC ID.

September 2012 IPV6813
WIFI MAC ID, you can find it on the sticker on the bottom of the camera, you can also login to your WIFI router,
check the host status, which will show all the WIFI devices connected to your router, you can also find the
IPCAM’s WIFI MAC ID there.
Figure 2.1
2.1.1.2 Network Configuration
Below shows how you can configure the Network parameters.
Figure 2.2
Obtain IP from DHCP server: If clicked, the device will obtain IP from DHCP server. In other words, the camera
will have a dynamic IP. (Make sure the Router which the camera connects to has DHCP function and DHCP
is enabled). (Figure 2.2).

September 2012 IPV6814
Figure 2.3
IP address: Fill in the IP address assigned and make sure it is in the same subnet as the Gateway,andthe
subnet should be the same as your computer or router. (I.e. the first three sections are the same).

your PC or router.
Gateway: Make sure it is in the same subnet with PC’s IP address .Here gateway is the LAN IP of your router.
DNS Server: IP address of IPS network provider. You can also set it to the same as the Gateway.
NOTE: You can find the Subnet Mask,Gateway,DNS Server from your router, or check the local connection
status of your computer, to get all the parameters. Normally two DNS servers are optional.
