Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides details of the Waterproof HD IP
Camera's features, components and capabilities.
Overview
The VistaCam 1100 Waterproof HD IP Camera has an Integrated
Microcomputer and a Mega Pixel OmniVision CMOS sensor, enabling it
to display high quality live streaming video.
The Waterproof HD IP Camera can be either used as a wired camera
through PoE switch or a Wi-Fi IP camera with the provided Wireless
PoE adapter (RP131).
This weather-resistant camera, which with the IP65 rated housing, lets
you keep an eye on your belongings - even in harsh conditions such as
rain and dust. It is also an all-in-one camera that has automatic and
manual day/night switching, IR illumination and PIR sensor.
Features
• Standalone Design: The Waterproof HD IP Camera is a
standalone system with built-in CPU and Video encoder. It requires
only a power source and a connection to your Router.
• Dual Video Support: The Waterproof HD IP Camera can support
H.264 and MJPEG video for different image compression.
• Day/Night Switch: With the day/night switching feature, you are
able to view and record better images even in the dark of night.
• Wired and Wireless Network Support: The Waterproof HD IP
Camera supports either wired or wireless transmission (with RP131).
• PoE Support. You can use PoE (Power over Ethernet) to provide
power to the Waterproof HD IP Camera, so only a single cable
connection is required.
• PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) Support. The Waterproof HD IP
Camera is embedded with a PIR Sensor, which senses infrared light
radiating from human bodies in its field of view. This feature is very
helpful in enhancing home security systems.

Internet Features
• User-definable HTTP/HTTPS port number. This allows Internet
Gateways to use "port mapping" so the Waterproof HD IP Camera
and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP address.
• DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must
know the Internet IP address of the gateway used by the Waterproof
HD IP Camera. But if the Gateway has a dynamic IP address, DDNS
(Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing Gateways do not
support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the Waterproof HD
IP Camera.
• NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the
Waterproof HD IP Camera to calibrate its internal clock from an
Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video
from the Waterproof HD IP Camera will be correct.

1. LAN port The supplied Ethernet cable can provide the power
to the Waterproof HD IP Camera and also connect
the device to your router.
Note:
• The Wireless and LAN interfaces cannot be
used simultaneously. Recommended to use
Y-cable for RP131 configuration only. The LAN
cable should be always connected in order to
provide electrical power to the camera.
• The wireless interface will be disabled only
when the RP131 is power off or disconnected.
2. Reset
Button This button is recessed; a pin or paper clip can be
used to press it. It can be activated at any time
when the camera is powered on.
• Reset to default manufacturer values and
reboot. When pressed and held for 10 seconds,
settings of the Waterproof HD IP Camera will be
set to their default manufacturer values.
Note: After this procedure is completed, the
LED will blink once to confirm that the reset was
successfully completed.

• WPS PBC Mode. When pressed and released (less then 3
seconds), the RP131 will be in the WPS PBC mode (Auto link
mode).
• WPS Pin Code Mode. When pressed and held for over 3
seconds, the RP131 will be in the WPS Pin Code mode.
The Wireless and LAN interfaces cannot be used
simultaneously. Using the Y-cable is recommended for
RP131 configuration. After you configure the Wireless
settings on the Waterproof HD IP Camera and ensure
they are correct, you can unplug the Y-cable and power
off the camera. The Waterproof HD IP Camera will be in
wireless interface when you power on the camera again.
