1 WELCOME
IPCAM is an integrated IP Camera solution based on the TCP/IP standard. It combines a high
quality digital video camera, with a powerful web server, to bring clear video to your desktop from
anywhere on your local network or the Internet.
The basic function of IPCAM is to provide remote video on the IP network. High quality video
images are transmitted at up to 30fps on the LAN/WAN by using MJPEG hardware compression
technology.
The WEB server within IPCAM supports various internet browsers including Internet Explorer.
Therefore the management and maintenance of your device is simplified, by using the network to
remotely configure, start-up, and upgrade the firmware of your IPCAM. You can use IPCAM to
remotely monitor your home or your office. Controlling the IPCAM and managing images is
simplified by using the provided web interface across the network utilising either wired or
wireless connectivity.

environment where the rain or snow could not pour it.
1.4.2 Hardware preparation
CAUTION: Before installing and using the camera, please read the following precautions
carefully, making sure that they are fully understood and each step is carefully followed.
1）Adjust the antenna at the back of the camera.
2）Plug the network cable into the camera and then into your Cable/DSL router.
3）Plug the power adapter into the camera and then into the power outlet.
CAUTION: Make sure that only the power adapter supplied with your IPCAM is used. Using

light on the camera network socket will turn on, and the small yellow light will flash. The
network light will blink, about 1~2 times per second.
6）The camera takes approximately 30 seconds to start up before it displays an IP address on
the IP Camera Tool (details: 2.1).
2 SOFTWARE OPERATION
2.1 IP Camera Tool
When the Device has been connected properly, you can double click the icon “IP Camera Tool”
and a dialog box as Figure 2.1 will pop up.
Figure 2.1
The software searches for IPCAMs automatically over the LAN.
There are 3 possible results:
1. No Cameras are found on the LAN. After about 1 minute of searching, the Result Field will
show “not found IP Server” and the program shut off automatically.
2. IP Cameras have been found within LAN. All the found IP Cameras will be listed and the
total number displayed in the result field as shown in Figure 2.1.
3. IP Cameras installed within the LAN do not share the same subnet with the monitoring
PC. A prompt is displayed with a “Subnet doesn’t match, dbclick to change!”message. Use
the left mouse button to select the prompt and then right click the mouse for available options,
choose Network Configuration to set the IP address of the Camera to the same subnet as the
LAN. (Figure 2.5) You can choose to obtain an IP from the DHCP server or set a static IP for the
camera. (Figure 2.4)
NOTE: If your camera is not displayed within the IP camera tool list, check if DHCP is enabled on
your router, and that the router MAC address filtering is not blocking your camera. Also make
sure that any firewall isn’t blocking the camera.

Six Options
Choose the IP Camera list and right click; there are six options, Basic Properties, Network
Configuration, Upgrade Firmware, Refresh Camera List, Flush Arp Buffer and About IP Camera
Tool as shown Figure 2.2.
Figure 2.2
Basic Properties
Device information displayed in the Basic Properties is Device ID, System Firmware Version,
Web UI Version. (Figure 2.3)
If there are several cameras on the list, you can choose basic properties to check the device ID
and determine the IP address allocated to each camera. For example Device ID is
00606E8C5058, the same MAC ID label is found on the bottom/back of the camera.
Each camera has its own MAC ID. If the camera’s IP is not found with the IP Camera Tool, the
router firewall may be blocking it. Therefore you can add this MAC ID to your router and give it a
fixed IP or add the MAC ID as a trusted site. There are two MAC addresses, one is the Wired
MAC ID and the other is the Wi-Fi MAC ID.
Figure 2.3
Network Configuration
This page will allow you to configure the Network parameters.

Figure 2.4
Obtain IP from DHCP server: If checked, the device will obtain its IP from the DHCP server. In
other words, the camera will have a dynamic IP. (Make sure the Router to which the camera
connects has DHCP enabled).
Figure 2.5
IP Address: Fill in the IP address assigned.
Subnet Mask: Fill in the Subnet Mask of your network, normally this is: 255.255.255.0.You can
find the network subnet mask from your router or from your locally attached PC.
Gateway: Fill in the Gateway address. The gateway is normally your router’s LAN IP. You can
find the Gateway address from your locally attached PC.
DNS Server: Fill in the DNS address. It is recommended that you use the address from your
locally attached PC, which is normally your router’s LAN IP.
Http Port: The default port for HTTP is 80. Only change this if you understand the implications of
doing so.
NOTE: If the prompt “Subnet doesn’t match, dbclick to change!” appears, please enable
DHCP and choose obtain IP from DHCP server or reconfigure the camera again.
This section only details the most typical settings and how to configure wired connections during
installation. Other network configurations are broadly similar, although the specific parameters
that you must configure are necessarily different. A full description of all configurations or
configuring advanced IP solutions is beyond the scope of this manual.
