1. Introduction
The Cloud Camera is designed for all day video surveillance on your
iPhone/iPad and Android mobiles/pads. The setup is truly 1-2-3 :
1. Connect the camera to the network
2. Download the app “lexacc” into your iPhone/iPad or Android
3. View video by the camera ID/password
The push notification is supported, so that you will get the notification from your
iPhone/iPad and Android once there is any events detected through the PIR body
sensor or sound detector on the camera, even when your mobile is on sleep mode.
The SD card recording is supported, and you could playback the recorded video
on your iPhone/iPad and Android. You could also do the SD card recording only
when there is PIR or sound detection to save the SD card storage size. The PIR and
sound detected recording has a 5 seconds pre-recording, so that you will always catch
the critical moment.
The NAS and cloud storage is supported. You can record the video files into any
normal NAS devices or to your Dropbox account. And you can playback those
recorded video files remotely on your mobile devices or computers.
For day & night usage, there are two video sensors/lens on the camera, one for
day and one for night. The day lens and night lens focus are separately tuned for day
light and Infra Red light for best video quality. No ICR, no mechanical problem.
Two-way audio is supported. You can monitor the synchronized video/audio and
talk to or warn the people around the camera from your iPhone/iPad and Android
once you got the push notification. There is a built-in speaker and a speaker jack is
provided so that you could connect any high power speaker to the camera for your
needs.
The WPS(WiFi Protected Setup) is supported. You could set up the WiFi
connection of the camera with the router by clicking the WPS button on the camera
and on the router at the same time. No more complicated WiFi configuration.
An infrared thermometer is provided. You could monitor the temperature of the

environment of the camera. And you could setup the camera to trigger alarm when the
environment temperature is out of a specified range.
The Cloud Camera is ideal for securing small businesses, home offices and
residences. The Cloud Camera is a perfect replacement of the alarm system and baby
monitor in your house and shop. .
The differences
It’s very easy to see the video of the Cloud Camera, you only need to key in the
ID/Password of the CLOUD CAMERA any where in the world, you do not need to
remember the IP address or domain name or DDNS name or port number. And you
do not need to modify the settings(like port mapping, fixed IP, DDNS, virtual server) of
the NAT/router devices, it’s just a plug & play usage.
So, the differences are the followings:
♦Public IP address needed ? No
♦Dynamic DNS needed ? No
♦Port mapping in router? No
♦Virtual server in router ? No
♦UPnP support in router ? No
♦What’s needed ? ID and Password

2. Hardware description and quick installation/usage
The CLOUD CAMERA is designed to be very easy to install and use. First, let’s
see the major components of the CLOUD CAMERA products.
2.1. Major hardware components.
The major components on the front panel of the CLOUD CAMERA products are
the followings :
1. Lens – the lens is inside the camera body and the focus of the lens is fixed, you do
not need to spend time to adjust the focus, the effective focus range is from 30cm
to infinity. There are two lens for day and night usage separately.
2. IR LED – there Is an IR LED for the night mode usage.
3. PIR – passive infrared sensor for body detection
4. Microphone – for receiving the audio/voice. Effective distance is about 5 meters.
5. Infrared thermometer – for measuring the environment temperature and alarm if
out of some temperature range.
6. Status indication LED (red) – this LED is to indicate the Internet connection status.
When the Internet connection is connected, the LED will be constant red light. If
there is any Internet connection problem, the LED will be blinking red light.
7. Ethernet indication LED (blue) – this LED is to indicate if the Ethernet link is ok
and packet traffic is sending/receiving. When the Ethernet cable is connected, the
LED is constant blue light. When there is packet sending/receiving, the LED is
blinking blue light.
8. SD card LED – for the indication of the SD card activity( recording ).
9. Micro-SD card slot – for inserting the micro SD-Card. (support up to 32G bytes)
10. Internal speaker – there is an internal speaker inside.
11. External speaker jack – for connecting external speaker.

Figure 2-1: Major components in the front panel
The major components on the back panel and bottom of the CLOUD CAMERA
products are the followings:
1. Bracket screw jack – this is the position to screw in the bracket of the CLOUD
CAMERA. With the bracket, you can put the CLOUD CAMERA on the desk, on
the wall or on the ceiling. (Bracket not provided)
2. Power jack – this is the place to plug in the power adaptor. The power needed for
this CLOUD CAMERA is 12V/1.0A, please make sure you are using the correct
power adaptor.
3. Ethernet jack – this is the place to plug in the RJ45 Ethernet cable. When the
Ethernet link is ok, the Ethernet indication LED on the front side will be blue light.
4. Reset button – this is the button to reset the CLOUD CAMERA to default factory
settings. You need to use a small stick like pencil or tooth stick to press the reset
button for more than 3 seconds to enable the reset function. Usually when you
forgot the administrator account, you will probably need to do this reset action to
reset to the default factory settings. Please refer to section 3.19 for more details.

2.2. Quick installation and usage
There are only three things that you need to do to see the video from the CLOUD
CAMERA.
1. Connect the CLOUD CAMERA to the home/office network.
2. Install the CamView/app software on the notebook/PC/mobiles.
3. Key in the ID/password of the CLOUD CAMERA(from the ID/Password card) on
the CamView, and then you can see the video.
First, Connect the CLOUD CAMERA to the home/office network
Please connect the CLOUD CAMERA accessaries to the CLOUD CAMERA body
correctly, including the power adapter and Ethernet cable, as shown in Figure 2-3.
And connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the home network or office
network. Usually, this Ethernet cable is plugged into a home NAT/router device or an
Ethernet switch if in the office, as shown in Figure 2-4. Since the default settings of the
CLOUD CAMERA use DHCP function and very often there is a DHCP server on most
of the Home/office network, the CLOUD CAMERA should be connected to the
Internet immediately. The Internet status LED is constant red light to indicate this
good connection status. If the LED is blinking, please refer to section 3.3~3.5 to try
other network settings.
