object detail. Set this switch to “ON” for compensation for this phenomenon. The target
object should appear with more detail after enabling this setting.
yAGC – Automatic Gain Control
Set this switch to “ON” to enable this automatic video gain adjustment. Under
severe/excessive illumination conditions, the camera video may saturate. Enabling this
feature will automatically lower the video amplifier gain, improving video quality. This
setting also compensates for low light conditions. If the camera is subject to under exposure,
or overly dark illumination conditions, the camera will automatically increase video amplifier
gain, improving video quality.
yFL or F/L– Flickerless
Set this switch to “ON” to prevent flicker from the following AC Power conditions:
-Using an NTSC camera in a region with 50 Hz AC power, or a PAL camera
in a region with 60 Hz AC power may cause a visible “video flicker.”
This is outside of normal power conditions for the two aforementioned video standards. Thus
the improper 10 Hz differentiation is the cause of the “flicker.”
yD/N– Day & Night (Available only for Day & Night camera module)
Set this switch to “ON” to enable the camera’s day & night feature set. Under very low light
conditions, the camera automatically switches to “Night Mode/Black and White Mode,”
delivering daylight quality Black & White video.
yDSS – Digital Slow Shutter (Available only for Day & Night camera module)
Turning this switch “ON”, tells the camera to sacrifice the video refresh rate in order to
compensate for ultra low light conditions, improving the brightness and sharpness of the
video.
yZOOM – Digital Zoom (Available only for Day & Night camera module)
Set switch to “ON” to enable digital zoom.
yDC Level (Available only for Day & Night camera module)
For adjusting output video DC levels.

3. Connecting iCanView220/220W to Network
iCanView220/220W supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP
environments where a single IP address is shared by two or more IP devices. Refer to [IP-
Installer User’s Guide] for details of setting the IP address for iCanView220/220W.
3.1. Connecting to LAN
Basic connection: Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1. Connecting the iCanView220/220W to LAN
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 in Section 2.5 to assign an IP address to the iCanView220/220W.
2. Install iCanView220/220W and connect to LAN.
3. Test the ability to receive video data when connecting to iCanView220/220W using iNVR.
4. In order to access each unit from outside the local area network, each device must have a unique RTSP
(Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. For example, when one or more IP video products are
connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) and then to a larger network (i.e. the internet). The
network administrator must also configure your IP sharing device for “port forwarding”. This enables the IP
sharing device to forward packet data with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to the unique internal IP
address (local IP address). If you only plan to access multiple units from within a local area network, you do
not need to change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers, unless other IP sharing devices sit in-between the client
and the IP video products. For more detailed information regarding the use of IP sharing device, refer to the
support document [Use of Private IP network using IP-sharing-device] found on the Download Section
of the iCanTek web site.

3.2. Connecting to an xDSL/Cable Modem
1. Follow through steps 1 through 4 in Section 2.5 to assign IP address and other network
parameters to iCanView220/220W.
2. Install iCanView220/220W and connect it to xDSL or Cable modem as in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Connecting the iCanView220/220W to ADSL/Cable Modem
When a fixed IP address is assigned to the xDSL or Cable modem, using IP-installer, invoke
the same method as “assigning an IP address on a LAN.” To enable email notification of IP
address changes assign a “send to” e-mail address using IP-installer. (The iCanTek
Management server provides a convenient way of connecting to your network
camera under WAN (Internet Connected) dynamic IP environments. Please refer
to the Application Note “Management Server” on the included CD.)
When connecting the iCanView220/220W to an xDSL or Cable modem, usually a
regular LAN cable is required. However, some modems require a crossover cable.
Please contact your service provider to make sre you are using the correct type of
cable.
