Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides details of the ICA-302's features, components
and capabilities.
Overview
This ICA-302 IR Network Camera is an inexpensive fully scalable surveillance
technology. Because the Network Cameras can be plugged in to your existing
computer network infrastructure, you will potentially save thousands of dollars on
unnecessary cabling. By using IR technology, this Network Camera is not only
working on day but also on night.
The ICA-302 is accessible via the Internet connection. Connect your ICA-302 directly
to a computer network or DSL modem, and with a standard Web browser you get
instant, on demand video streams. Within minutes you can set up the Network
Camera to capture a video image to a PC. Live video images can be uploaded to a
website to see on condition that network is available.
Network Camera applications
Features
•Ease to use
Plug-N-Watch capability to simplify system integration in an existing network
environment.
•Greater image quality in day and night with longer life span
ICA-302 can be deployed in many different situations, such as library, train station
or factory production line to provide efficient, human-resource reducing, and
offers flexibility, affordability, and reliability for the proper surveillance of
manufacturing facilities.

•20M IR distance
The effective range could be 20 -25 meters.
•Multi-Platform support
Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, FTP uploading and HTTP public
network standards, ICA-302 can be applied and utilized to a mixed IP network
environment.
•Motion Detection
This feature will send you alert message when motion is detected. The ICA-302
will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of
large objects.
•High quality video compression
ICA-302 delivers complete, high quality images in JPEG format, which can be
viewed using standard web browser.
Internet Features
•User-definable administration port number.
This allows Internet Gateways to use “port mapping” so the ICA-302 and a Web
Server can share the same Internet IP address.
•DDNS Support
In order to view video over Internet, user must know the Internet IP address of the
gateway used by ICA-302. An easy-to-remember DDNS (Dynamic DNS) name
will help you memorize your site more easily.
•NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support
NTP allows the ICA-302 to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-
Server. This ensures that the time stamp on the recorded video from the ICA-302
will be correct.
Security Features
•User Authentication
If desired, the camera access can be restricted to known users. Users will have
to enter their username and password before being able to view the video stream.
Up to 10 users can be entered.
•IP Filter
The camera access not only can be restricted by username/password, but also
can be limited by the IP range to bring users more security.
Application
•Remote monitoring via Web browser
•Powerful central management software – Cam View

Setup
Initial setup can be performed either from the web browser or using the supplied
IPEditV3 utility. This utility can locate the ICA-302 even if its IP address is invalid for
your network. You can then configure the ICA-302 with appropriate TCP/IP settings for
your LAN.
Subsequent administration can be performed with your Web browser, as explained in
Chapter 4 - Web-based Administration.
Setup Procedure
Before setup operations
The ICA-302 provides GUI (Web based, Graphical User Interface) for machine
management and maintenance.
Current firmware supports Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Netscape
Navigator support is planned in the future firmware release
LNote
