Introduction
FCS-0071 is a 2 Mega Pixel Fish-Eye Panorama Network Camera with H.264-AVC performance and other
rich functions. FCS-0071 is equipped with a fish-eye lens for 360° panoramic wide angle view without
blind spots making it the perfect solution for viewing wide areas with like hallways, stores, and offices
without the need to install multiple cameras.
H.264-AVC video compression lowers bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image
quality; Motion JPEG is supported for increased flexibility, as well as multiple independent video
streaming. The hardware based panorama video processing ability can provide user multiple video
modes including source image, double broad view, triple mode view and quad view.
The e-PTZ function, including preset point without moving parts, can replace part of traditional PTZ
camera and thus save lost of traditional mechanical Pan/Tilt maintain cost.
The camera features PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) capability, providing easy installation through a single
Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for additional power cables and outlets. Other functions include
two-way audio and micro SD card support for local storage application.

However the current that will go through the 2 nodes must not exceed 130mA.
An external “Relay” can also be connected to the terminals as an
implementation. In this case, current (or/and voltage) limitation is specified by
the external Relay.

2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the FCS-0071 from the Web
site. The software will be taken from the Software Package CD.
IP Installer
The IP Installer is used to locate and configure network cameras and video servers on the LAN. This
utility is useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the device, or for finding a
device once the network settings have been modified.
To install the IP Installer, from the Software CD, select IP installer, then follow the on instructions to
complete the installation.
XVID Codec
An H.264 codec is applied for displaying the video stream and playing the recoded AVI files. If the
video stream can’t be displayed or the recorded AVI files can’t be play on PC, install this software
from the Software CD.
VLC
Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser.
The camera’s manual recording format is MP4, you also need to use like VLC player to view.

3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and
network settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for
multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the
network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary.
Preparation before IP Assignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to
avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the camera is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the
device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 00116B-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any FCS-0071 on the LAN except those that
are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to
the Web-based user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more
information about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
Using IP Installer to Assign an IP Address to FCS-0071
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click to run the software.
2. Click the [Device Search] to search the device in the LAN.
3. From the list, select the device with the MAC Address that corresponds to the FCS-0071 that is to be
configured. The MAC Address is identical to the unit’s S/N (Serial Number).
