1. Overview
1.1 General Overview
MT4009 is the most affordable and efficient remote surveil-
lance / security program available. It is extremely simple
to install, and can be used without a computer. With its in-
ternal web server, users can conduct remote video surveil-
lance and security tasks from a web browser (such as IE or
Netscape), and quickly observe surveillance video feeds at
any time, anywhere from local network or Ethernet Inter-
net connection.
The MT4009 combines CPU, CMOS Sensor Control, Image
processor, GPU, JPEG, CODEC, Ethernet MAC function that
is capable of 350,000 pps.
In addition, the system supports PPPoE, DHCP, Static IP,
DDNS, SMTP, FTP, NTP, and other types of network protocol,
and includes high efficiency SDRAM control and memory
access. Also, the internal TV Out decoder / encoder devices
allow display of common household television formats
(supports NTSC and PAL). The system also includes fast
Motion Detection and SD expansion slot. The MT4009 has
Night Vision IR LED’s allowing it to see in the dark or assist
in low light situations. A professional grade remote surveil-
lance and camera technology for many fun and security
purposes.
The MT4009 is the most affordable quality network surveil-
lance and broadband camera system on the market, and it
is the most intelligent choice for business of all kinds.

2.1 CAM EZ SEARCH
CAM EZ Search is a searching application capable of search-
ing for IP WEBCAM on the local network.The application
urges all IP WEBCAM to respond by sending out query
packets, and then displays a list of all IP WEBCAM available
on the network. In addition, CAM EZ allows the network
settings of a designated IP WEBCAM to be changed (such
IP address or name). CAM EZ can be used by following
these easy steps:
1. Open CAM EZ Search application.
2. Check to see if the IP addresses from the network are the
same as shown in CAM EZ Search: Go to Control panel
> Go to Network and Dialup Connection > Select the
settings for the local network connection being used
> Right click using your mouse > Select Preferences (P)
> Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Select Preferences
(R), and you can view the IP address for your computer.
If the settings are diff erent, you must update the IP set-
tings for the MT4009 EZ IP WEBCAM. Do so as follows:

user would have to set the MT4009 EZ IP WEBCAM IP to
192.168.1.* (* = 1~254).
Step 3: Sub Mask (U): Usually set to 255.255.255.0
3. Step 4: Gateway: Change to correspond with the gate-
way settings of the network.
4. Step 5: HTTP Port: Change to 80
After settings are complete, press Submit, and the MT4009
EZ IP WEBCAM settings will take effect.

assignment is “static”. These settings also include:
■IP Assignment°GStatic,
■DHCP, or PPPoE
■PPPoE settings
TOP

12
When using the “DHCP” setting, you do not need to enter
any of the above settings. You must only enter the address
of the DHCP Server in the “Server” field.
When using the “PPPoE” setting, you must correctly enter
your ID and password. Please refer to unit 5.4.2 for details.
5.4.2 PPPoE
This menu allows you to enter the dial up settings during
PPPoE IP assignment. This usually refers to entering your
ID account name and password. Remember that you must
also enter your ISP settings as well.
How to Setup PPPoE
Step 1: Enter your correct user ID in the “Account” field.
Step 2: Enter your correct password in the“Password” field.
Step 3: Click on “Submit” to complete your settings.
NOTE: Because PPPoE utilizes a dynamic IP address
from an ISP, the IP settings for the MT4009 EZ IP WEB-
CAM could differ for each use. It is thus suggested that
an IP Router be used to connect to the PPPoE or DDNS.
This will help your computer to find the IP WEBCAM.
5.4.3 HTTP Server
This menu allows you to enter the port number of the
MT4009 IP WEBCAM internal web server
(or HTTP Server) via HTTP protocol. The default port num-
ber is “80”.
5.4.1 IP Assignment
Static IP Assignment refers to the fixed settings of the ISP
or network engineering department.
IP Address: Includes static, DHCP, PPPoE. DHCP and PPPoE
are typically dynamic IPs.
When using the “static” setting, you must enter the follow-
ing information:
■IP Address: The IP address of the IP WEBCAM
■Subnet Mask: Set by default to 255.255.255.0
■Gateway: Default gateway
■Http Server port settings
■DNS settings
* MAC Address: Displays the Mac address of the IP WEBCAM
TOP

13
5.4.4 DNS Server
This menu allows you to enter the IP address of the DNS
(Domain Name Server ).
By doing this, you can replace the IP address of the IP
WEBCAM with an http name (such as myIP WEBCAM.XXX),
making it easier to remember. The default DNS1 value is
“168.95.1.1” (Hinet). If the connection fails, the system will
automatically attempt to connect to DNS2.
5.5 Server Setup
This menu allows you to enter various server settings, in-
cluding:
- Mail Server - DDNS Server
- FTP Server - NTP Server

sive Mode” transfer protocol.
Step 6: Click on Submit when you are finished.
5.5.3 DDNS Server
This menu allows you to enter your DDNS(Dynamic Domain
Name Server) Settings. You can also use a PPPoE (with dy-
namic IP) to connect to the http address of the IP WEBCAM
(such as sqIP WEBCAM.dyndns.org) by entering the regis-
tered HTTP address of the DDNS Server. This is convenient
for viewing IP WEBCAMS with non-fixed IP addresses.
Entering the DDNS Server Settings:
Step 1: Find a DDNS service (such as http://www.dyndns.
org ), and register a user account, password, and HTTP user
address.
