Introduction
iViewHD is a family of high resolution small form factor internet protocol (IP) cameras. The cameras
provide both still JPEG and Motion-JPEG (MJPEG) images which are either viewable with a standard
web browser or usable with a Network Video Recorder (NVR).
iViewHD cameras are powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE) which means that data and power
are supplied via a single Ethernet cable. Power is provided by standard POE network switches or
power injectors. Because the cameras use standard Ethernet cabling infrastructure (CAT5), they are
ideal in environments where networking cabling is already installed. New installations are also easier
than traditional video cameras, due to the use of a single cable for both power and video.
The cameras are configured using a standard web browser. Various camera parameters can be set
up and saved using a web page. A live camera view is also available via the web interface. iViewHD
has several levels of security available to help protect the camera against unwanted use.
For security applications, iViewHD will generally be used in conjunction with a Network Video Re-
corder (NVR). Due to its use of JPEG and MJPEG, it will work with most NVR software and hardware.

Quick Setup Procedure
This section presents a quick setup guide in configuring the iViewHD camera. For a more detailed
explanation, please consult the following sections of the manual
The iViewHD camera connects to a Power Over Ethernet (POE) network switch, such as the Netme-
dia POEmax or other suitable POE switch. The POE switch provides the network connectivity and
power for the camera.
To configure the iViewHD camera:
1. Plug in an Ethernet cable to the POE switch:
2. Plug the the other end of the Ethernet cable into the iViewHD Camera. The orange LED next to
the RJ45 connector should illuminate. The red LED in front of the camera will light up and the
camera should emit a series of beeps and you will probably see the green link activity light
blinking:
3. Connect a computer to the same network as the camera.
