1. Introduction
The ICA-108/108W is a wired/wireless IR IP Camera. The ICA-108/108W can send live
video and audio via the internet to a web browser anywhere in the world.
The ICA-108/108W features zero-lux illumination. The 6 IR illuminators built around the
lens bring the clearest vision at night. The ICA-108/108W offers color picture in day
time and monochrome at complete darkness with built in CMOS sensor up to 10 meters.
Use new High-Light LED to provide greater performance in the dark and longer life of
LED.
Multi-profile stands for video stream simultaneously. The ICA-108/108W can generate
MPEG-4 and M-JPEG streaming to different users in the meantime. Moreover, the
resolution can differ from one user to another. This state-of-art design is considerable to
fit in various network environments. Up to 10 users can access to the ICA-108/108W at
any time simultaneously.
The ICA-108/108W takes surveillance to use 2-way audio. It can remotely talk to
anyone at ICA-108/108W site when adding a speaker on ICA-108/108W. The
ICA-108W uses IEEE 802.11b/g wireless technology that communicates at a maximum
wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps and security features include WEP and WPA
encryption.

Exit Button:
Click “Exit” button will close the IPWizard Program.
2.6 Configure With IPWizard
After pressing Installation Wizard, please key in Username and Password of the device when login
dialog box appears on the screen. You can login the setup page if authorized name and password
is correct. Default username/password for machine login: admin/<no password>
13/65

Wizard Page 1: Username and Password
This page is about the change of the authorized user name and password of the selected device. If
you don’t want to change them, please click “Next” to move to the next page. Press “Exit” button if
you don’t want to set up right now. If you want to change authorized name or password, you have
to check the box in front of ID or New Password.Authorized Username should contain at least 5~
20 characters and New Password should contain at least 4~8 characters.
Wizard Page 2: LAN Setting
This page is about the select of Static IP or DHCP ON.
LAN: You can configure this ICA-108/108W to obtain its address automatically or manually assign.
If there is a DHCP server in your network environment and you select “DHCP ON”, ICA-108/108W
can automatically obtain an IP address. If you don’t have DHCP server or you want to use fixed IP
address, please select “Static IP” and fill in the following fields with proper parameters.
14/65

IP Address: IP address is a unique number for identifies this device on the WAN or LAN. These
numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200
Subnet Mask: Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the
network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP subnets advance
network security and performance to some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet
masks contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For example, a
very common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will
usually be shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
Def. Gateway: A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information between
networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to an Internet site or when you're
transient email between different servers.
DNS1: When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain such as xxxxx.com, the
domain name system translates the names into IP addresses. The term refers to two things: the
conventions for naming hosts and the way the names are control across the Internet.
DNS2: The same function as DNS1. It is optional, not necessary
Note: If no IP address is assigned after 30 seconds, the ICA-108/108W will work with its default IP
address 192.168.0.20. User may now open your web browser, and key in http://192.168.0.20 in
the address bar of your web browser to logon ICA-108/108W’s web configuration page.
Wizard Page 3: Confirmation
This page shows the new configurations. If it is correct, please press “Submit” icon and the setting
information will be save to your ICA-108/108W. Click on “Exit” to close this window.
2.7 Using UPnP of Windows® XP™
UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP
enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, of your PC is UPnP enabled, the device will
be very easy to configure. Use the following steps to enable UPnP settings only if your operating
system of PC is running Windows XP.
