Introduction
PB670 is a Fish-Eye Network Camera; it is featured with superior H.264-AVC performance and rich functions.
Fish-Eye Camera includes a fish-eye lens for 360°wide angle view without blind spot. Thus Fish-Eye Camera
is very suitable to view a wide area with single camera such as hallway, store, office, and etc.
The H.264-AVC video compression enables to lower 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 on the processing ability of panorama video can provide user modes of multiple video,
including source image, double broad view, triple mode view and quad view. And it supports wall mount,
ceiling mount, and wall mount 720P.
The e-PTZ function including preset point without moving parts, can replace part of traditional PTZ camera
and thus save lots of cost for maintaining traditional mechanical Pan/Tilt.
The camera offers optional PoE type for installation. The PoE (IEEE802.03af) feature provides an easy
installation through a single Ethernet cable, which lessens the installation of power plugs or extensions.
Further functions include two-way audio and micro SD card for local storage application.

Installation
1. Hardware Connection
1. Prepare a PC with Ethernet link to the network
2. Connect LAN port (RJ45) of the camera to a network switch/hub
3. Connect power jack / POE ; POE support only for PB670E
4. Ensure the power adaptor specification matching the power system (110V or 220V) and connect the
adaptor to the outlet
5. Check LED status (Power/Network)

2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the Fish-eye camera from the Web
site. The software will be taken from the Software 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 and finding the network settings of the device.
Install the IP Installer from the software CD. Click the IP installer to launch the program.
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, or played on PC, install the XVID Codec from the
software CD.
VLC
VLC can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser.

3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier and more efficient way to configure the IP address and
network setting of the device. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings and use the
batch setting function simultaneously. 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. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any device 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 PB670
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click the IP Installer icon on the
desktop,
2. Click the [Device Search] to search the device in the LAN.
*0004290000
