1. Introduction
The IP Camera is designed for all day video surveillance on your
iPhone/iPad and Android mobiles/pads. The setup is truly 1-2-3 :
1. Connect the camera to the network
2. Download the app Touch2See into your iPhone/iPad or Android
3. View video by the camera ID/password
The push notification is supported, so that you will get the notification from
your iPhone/iPad and Android once there is any events detected through the
PIR body sensor or sound detector on the camera, even when your mobile is
on sleep mode.
The SD card recording is supported, and you could playback the recorded
video on your iPhone/iPad and Android. You could also do the SD card
recording only when there is PIR or sound detection to save the SD card
storage size. The PIR and sound detected recording has a 5 seconds
pre-recording, so that you will always catch the critical moment.
For day & night usage, there are two video sensors/lens on the camera,
one for day and one for night. The day lens and night lens focus are separately
tuned for day light and Infra Red light for best video quality. No ICR, no
mechanical problem.
Two-way audio is supported. You can monitor the synchronized
video/audio and talk to or warn the people around the camera from your
iPhone/iPad and Android once you got the push notification. The speaker jack
is supported so that you could connect any high power speaker to the camera
for your needs.
The WPS(WiFi Protected Setup) is supported. You could set up the WiFi
connection of the camera with the router by clicking the WPS button on the
camera and on the router at the same time. No more complicated WiFi
configuration.
The IP Camera is ideal for securing small businesses, home offices and
residences. The IP Camera is a perfect replacement of the alarm system and

baby monitor in your house and shop. .
The differences
It’s very easy to see the video of the Day&Night IP Camera, you only need to key
in the ID/Password of the IP CAM any where in the world, you do not need to
remember the IP address or domain name or DDNS name or port number. And you
do not need to modify the settings(like port mapping, fixed IP, DDNS, virtual server) of
the NAT/router devices, it’s just a plug & play usage.

2. Hardware description and quick installation/usage
The IP CAM is designed to be very easy to install and use. First, let’s see the
major components of the IP CAM products.
2.1. Major hardware components.
The major components on the front panel of the IP CAM products are the built-in
microphone, lens and LEDs :
1. Microphone – for receiving the audio/voice. Effective distance is about 5 meters.
2. Lens – the lens is inside the camera body and the focus of the lens is fixed, you do
not need to spend time to adjust the focus, the effective focus range is from 30cm
to infinity. There are two lens for day and night usage separately.
3. Status indication LED (red) – this LED is to indicate the Internet connection status.
When the Internet connection is connected, the LED will be constant red light. If
there is any Internet connection problem, the LED will be blinking red light.
4. Ethernet indication LED (blue) – this LED is to indicate if the Ethernet link is ok
and packet traffic is sending/receiving. When the Ethernet cable is connected, the
LED is on. When there is packet sending/receiving, the LED is blinking blue light.
5. SD card indication LED(yellow) – this LED is to indicate the status of the Micro-SD
card recording, it will be on when the Micro-SD card is inserted and will blink
during recording.
6. Micro-SD card slot – for inserting the Micro-SD Card. (support up to 32G bytes)
7. WPS button – this is to automatically synchronize the WiFi settings with a WPS
capable WiFi router.
8. Speaker jack – connect to an external speaker for two way audio and speaker
alarm usage.
9. PIR sensor – for the detection of the human body.
10. IR LED – for the Infra Red lighting of the night mode usage.

Figure 2-1: Major components in the front and side panel
The major components on the back panel of the IP CAM products are the bracket
screw jack, power jack, Ethernet jack and reset button:
1. Bracket screw jack – this is the position to screw in the bracket of the IP CAM.
With the bracket, you can put the IP CAM on the desk, on the wall or on the
ceiling.
2. Power jack – this is the place to plug in the power adaptor. The power needed for
this IP CAM is 12V/1.0A, please make sure you are using the correct power
adaptor.
3. Ethernet jack – this is the place to plug in the RJ45 Ethernet cable. When the
Ethernet link is ok, the Ethernet indication LED on the front side will be blue light.
4. Reset button – this is the button to reset the IP CAM to default factory settings.
You need to use a small stick like pencil or tooth stick to press the reset button for
more than 3 seconds to enable the reset function. Usually when you forgot the
administrator account, you will probably need to do this reset action to reset to the
default factory settings. Please refer to section 3.19 for more details.

2.2. Quick installation and usage
There are only three things that you need to do to see the video from the IP CAM.
1. Connect the IP CAM to the home/office network.
2. Install the Touch2See software on the notebook/PC.
3. Key in the ID/password of the IP CAM(from the ID/Password card) on the
Touch2See, and then you can see the video.
First, Connect the IP CAM to the home/office network
Please connect the IP CAM accessories to the IP CAM body correctly, including
the power adapter and Ethernet cable. And connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to the home network or office network. Usually, this Ethernet cable is plugged
into a home NAT/router device or an Ethernet switch if in the office, as shown in
Figure 2-4. Since the default settings of the IP CAM use DHCP function and very often
there is a DHCP server on most of the Home/office network, the IP CAM should be
connected to the Internet immediately. The Internet status LED is constant red light to
indicate this good connection status. If the LED is blinking, please refer to section
3.3~3.5 to try other network settings.

2.3. Wireless connection (if router/AP has WPS button)
The IP Cam(w) can be connected to the home/office network through the 802.11 n
wireless connection. If the router or AP has WPS button, then there are only three
simple steps that you need to do to have the wireless connection:
1. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the camera.
2. Click the WPS button on the router. And then click the WPS button on the camera
within one minute.
3. The yellow/blue/red led on the camera will be chasing. When the chasing stops
and blue led is on within one minute, the wireless connection is established.
2.4. Wireless connection (if WPS not supported on router/AP)
The IP CAM can also be connected to the home/office network through the
802.11 n wireless connection. There are only three things that you need to do
to have the wireless connection:
1. Set the WiFi security settings on the web configuration page.
2. Test if the WiFi settings are correct.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable.
First, set the WiFi security settings on the web configuration page.
Make sure there is a WiFi router or AP on your home or office network. Write
down the WiFi security parameters used in this WiFiAP/router, including the SSID ,
security mode, encryption protocols and the “key” values. The supported WiFi security
mode of the IP CAM is WEP(64 bits and 128 bits) and WPA-PSK(TKIP andAES). In
most of the home/office WiFi environment, this is quite enough.
The easiest way to set the WiFi settings on the IP CAM is through Touch2See
software. Right-click the searched IP CAM in the “Auto Search” list and click the “Web
Configure” to open the login window of the IP CAM. Fill in all the WiFi security
parameters you have written down. The WiFi configuration is complete now.

Third, unplug the Ethernet cable
If the WiFi test is successful, you can then enable the WiFi connection by
unplugging the Ethernet cable from the IP CAM. The IP CAM will detect the Ethernet
cable unplugged condition and start the WiFi connection. After the WiFi is connected,
the IP CAM will connect to the Internet immediately.
Notice :
1. Please remember that the WiFi connection will use a different IP address, you will
need to do the “Auto Search” function in the Touch2See again to find the IP CAM
again after the WiFi is connected.
2. If you want to switch back to the wired Ethernet connection, just plug in the
Ethernet cable into the IP CAM again. Do not need to disable the WiFi function on
the web pages.
Figure 2-9: Unplug the Ethernet cable to enable the WiFi function
2.5. Push notification
The IP CAM supports push notification when using the iPhone/iPad or Android
devices. So that when there is alarm from PIR, motion detection or sound
detection, your mobile device will receive alarm notification. You can
immediately playback the recorded video(if SD card inserted) or do a live view.
Please download the “Touch2See” app from App Store for iPhone.

3.3. Network
The Network page allows you to modify the network settings of the wired
Ethernet. The default settings use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically. In
most of the home and office network environment, there is a DHCP server running. In
this situation, by using this default settings, the IP CAM can work immediately in most
of the time.
If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the IP CAM will lose connection. But as soon
as the Ethernet cable is plugged in again, the IP CAM will obtain a new IP address
immediately.
Figure 3-5: Network settings page for DHCP function
If the network environment does not support DHCP function, you will need to set
the network settings of the IP CAM manually. Please fill in all the fields including “IP
address”, “Subnet mask”, “Default gateway” and “DNS server” to let the network work.
All these settings must be correct for your network environment, otherwise the IP
CAM can not work.
The default setting is “Obtain an IP address automatically”.
