Overview of the iSeeVideo System

VideoAlert.net
Server
Customer's
Broadband
Modem
The NAPCO iSeeVideo system allows remote video internet monitoring of
homes and businesses through a unique subscription based account system
that provides the opportunity to realize recurring revenue from residential and
commercial video installations. The system is comprised of the following
components:
The ISVWLCAM high quality wireless IP video camera provides video at 640 x
480 lines of resolution that can be viewed through the iSeeVideo server on
virtually any computer in the world at 20+ frames per second. The ISVWLCAM
also provides pixel based motion detection that when activated will prompt the
transmission of video clips to the iSeeVideo server. The ISVWLCAM provides
(at no additional service charge) dynamic IP support through the iSeeVideo DNS
network - keeping constant track of the broadband modem’s IP address
changes, ensuring that the DHCP IP address is always kept current.
The 640 x 480 VGA resolution at 20 + fps provided by the camera is far superior
to most competitors in the category who offer low quality 240 x 320 video at a
reduced frame rate. This extremely efficient use of available bandwidth allows
you to offer your customers the highest quality video in the category; video that
can even be displayed on a large screen television with remarkable clarity.
The ISVWAP Wireless Access Point allows the simple instant configuration of
the wireless iSeeVideo camera, without confusing or intrusive multi-step
enrollment procedures (patents pending).
The installation procedure for the WAP and cameras is actually not a procedure
at all; simply plug the WAP into the customer’s network (router) and power up
the cameras. At this point, all of the cameras are fully operational and can be
viewed through the iSeeVideo portal, protected by the default iSeeVideo 128bit
encryption. Once all cameras are up and running, simply click the LOCK icon on
the portal to prompt the camera to send a new, unique 128bit encrypted secure
key to the WAP, ensuring the best possible wireless security.
This is unlike competitive installation procedures, which involve confusing
multiple steps with specific precision timing, or in some cases force the installer
to use the customer’s personal computer to “discover” the cameras and
download “plug-ins” through the computer in order to enroll a required gateway.
The iSeeVideo system was designed to avoid all of these obvious complications
and privacy concerns. The customer’s personal property should never be used
as an installation tool, especially when the computer contains the customer’s
personal data including communications, pictures and banking.
The NAPCO iSeeVideo server maintains video accounts and allows
subscribers to view their iSeeVideo cameras from any personal computer, web
enabled cell phone or mobile device. It is compatible with computers running
the Microsoft Windows®, Apple®and Linux®operating systems and is also
compatible with any web enabled cell phone or mobile video device. The server
also automatically notifies the subscriber by email upon receipt of triggered
video events and archives them for viewing at a later time. Each subscriber
account provides 50Mb of storage, allowing the archiving of about (75) 10
second video clips (adjustable 5 sec pre-alarm and 5 sec post-alarm). The
server is designed to allow the customer to have complete control of their
account in regard to passwords, email addresses and other personal
information.

cally begin communicating to the iSeeVideo server system.

Secure the iSeeVideo Wireless network
Once all cameras have been registered to the new account and can be
viewed, the wireless network must be secured.
⇒ While viewing each camera, simply click Secure Now! next to the
unlock Icon and the camera will send a new, unique 128bit en-
crypted secure key to the Wireless Access Point, providing a se-
cure wireless connection.
⇒ You will be automatically logged out of the account; log back in to
view the secured camera to ensure that the unlock icon has
change to a locked state.
⇒ Repeat for each camera in the system.
If a new camera is added to the system in the future, simply repeat the
above procedure to secure it.

4CONFIGURING THE ISVWLCAM
Once the ISVWLCAM(s) have been and powered up, and the account has been activated, the cameras
may be configured. The next several pages will guide you through the on-line configuration process.
Note: If the cameras are only to be used for live viewing and there are no plans to trigger video motion
events to the server, configuration is not required.
MOTION DETECTION (OPTIONAL)
The ISVWLCAM supports pixel-based motion de-
tection which allows the camera to send motion
triggered video clips to the VideoAlert.net video
server upon motion in a selected area.
To configure the camera for motion
detection, enter Video Motion Set-
tings mode my clicking the Video
Motion icon and the screen Video
Motion Settings screen will appear.
Click the Active box to enable pixel-based motion
detection. To set a motion detection window, click
the colored box on the right and drag the window
into the live image.
Simply drag the window to a specific section of the live view screen and size it appropriately by pressing
SHIFT and dragging a side of the window. Once the window is properly positioned and sized, the sensitiv-
ity threshold can be set by dragging the corresponding threshold slider to the left for less sensitivity and to
the right for more.
The camera has the ability to store video recorded before the actual sensing of motion. Use the PRE
and POST slider control to adjust the Pre-Capture Length and Post-Capture Length setting, with Pre-
Capture Length being the length of video captured before the actual sensing of motion and the Post-
Capture Length being the length of the video after the sensing of motion.
Use the slider control for each respective Area box to adjust the sensitivity of the pixel based motion detec-
tion, with 100% being the highest sensitivity and 0% being the lowest.
When settings are complete, click the Apply/Save and then click the camera name above the live view to
exit.
Note: Motion detection analyzes the video and detects changes in the pixel properties. It is important that
the detection windows enabled be limited to only areas of anticipated activity. If using motion detection out-
doors, changes in pixels may be caused by blowing tree branches, shrubs, sun / shade changes caused by
changing cloud cover, etc. To avoid nuisance triggers, exclude these areas of concern from the enabled
detection area.
Programming Motion Detection Schedules
If desired, the Motion Detection feature may be controlled by schedule, allowing the user to set a specific
time and day for motion detection and email triggering. This will prompt the system to capture video clips
and send email notifications only if motion detection is sensed during the scheduled time period.
To program schedules, go to the live viewer and click the Advanced Settings icon and the advanced fea-
tures screen will appear. Turn to page 11
