1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
This user-friendly device combines cutting-edge sophistication with practical reliability and
convenience, high performance with smooth remote communication. Just plug in the network
cable!! You’ll get live streaming Video & Audio anytime any place! You’ll have security you can rely
on! The especially high resolution has 520 TV lines, a built-in web server and aNetwork interface to
connect you with the Internet securely and fast.
Other special features include the masking of personal private images with flexible mask-area
positioning and size, the self-downloading automatic video codec and other components, and the
whole unit is very easy to set up. You can access the network to get smooth images through the
real-time and synchronized audio / visual stream provided by the device, because it supports two
compression modes, the MJPEG and the MPEG4 -- you can change from one to the other as you
wish. The MPEG4 file format is a very small size file, so it can save more images over a longer time
and can beset extremelyfast. The device also has a built-in website server providing many Internet
functions and protocols, including the MDIX protocol which recognizes both the normal and the
crossover cables, either of which can connect up with an IP camera.
We hope this device makes it easier for you to get your IP address information. This unit supports
the USB interface which helps you to very easilyget anIP address to opentheIE browser: just type
in your IP address to the browser and you can access your IP camera.
The device can hopefully provide the advanced motion detection function to improve your network
surveillance with both the powerful and enhanced multi-zone and multi-sensitivity modes of
detection. Webelieve this day & night IP camera is the right answer to all your network surveillance
problems. Try it and you'll see.

on the image’s actual content. Images with a lot of detail will generate bigger files. The
level of compression determines the image quality. High compression requires smaller
files while low compression gives you finer image quality along with bigger files. The
table below contains the average file size in Kbytes, derived from real life tests.

1 MICROPHONE: The IP camera has an additional audio function. The device has a
microphone built into its front panel which records sound.
2 Plug Inlet: A DC 12V inlet that connects to an external power supply.
3 ETHERNET (PoE): This is a standard RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet networks.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) function: Provides power to the device via the same cable as
used for the network connection.
4 AUDIO OUT Connector: The connector provides the unit’s audio signal to a speaker.
5 VIDEO OUT Connector: The connector provides the unit’s composite video signals to a
monitor.
6 POWER indicator: Indicates the power status of the unit. The green light indicates the unit
is activating. The red light indicates the power is on and the SD card cannot be removed.
7 LAN indicator: Indicates the LAN status of the unit. The green light indicates the 100 Mbps
Ethernet network is activating. The red light signals the LAN is data linking.

3. DHCP: Turn On / Turn Off to use the DHCP protocol. If the switch points
upwards, the device can change the setup of network function
(enable/disable) via the network.
4. STATIC IP: If the switch points down, the device can’t obtain an IP address
from the DHCP server. This option is needed to configure the
network communication settings.
