• Connecting Ethernet
Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of This network camera. Generally a
cross-over cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection
to a hub.
Micro SD memory slot
If desired, before closing the Camera Cover, insert a micro SD memory card.
• Connecting the Power
Connect the DC 12V power adapter to the camera.
• Connecting the Wireless using WPS function (VIP2P1N model only)
Follow steps for a proper operation.
1. Make sure your AP (Access Point) and Operating System support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
functions. WPS enables easy setup with compatible APs.
2. Press the WPS button on the camera board. You can then see the Status LED is blinking.
4. Press and hold down the WPS button on your AP (some router/AP will have a virtual button on
their management software instead). Refer to your AP's documentation for details using its WPS
functions.
When WPS configuration is done, wireless connectivity will be established and the security
encryption, such as WEP or WPA-PSK, will be synchronized with the AP.
As for IP setting, the camera's use of DHCP or static IP is determined by your configuration on
This network camera via the web- based configuration of firmware. The camera's default is DHCP
for the VIP2P1N.
Notes:
1. WPS may not work if your AP is configured with a "hidden" SSID.
2. If any WPS-enabled AP is not detected, the camera will search APs for 60 seconds after
pressing the WPS button, and if the camera still can not detect an AP after 1 minute, the
wireless setup will be cancelled.
3. If a camera is assigned with a fixed IP outside the AP's network segment, wireless setup will
fail.
4. A wired connection always has a higher priority, and hence wireless setup will not take effect
when the RJ45 LAN port is connected.
11

2.2 Network Connection and IP assignment
The camera supports network operation. When a camera is first connected to the network, it is
necessary to allocate an IP address to the device with the “SpecoManager” utility on the CD. (Default

2) Network
This network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled
simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for
this network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, this network camera will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the
network router. There is also the option of using Speco’s free Dynamic DNS Service. For more
information on setting the Network, please see Setup> System>Security>Network.
• Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP
addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly
used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP
address for a particular MAC address.
• Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for this network camera,
check the radio button and then set the following settings:
- IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your Network Camera.
- Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet this network camera is located on.
- Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for
connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.
Notes:
1. If DHCP is used, Speco’s free DDNS service can be utilized. In the camera’s page in the web
browser, go to Settings/Network/DDNS to set it up.
2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or
as soon as an IP address is set.
3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

3) Video & Image
• Stream1 Setting
- Codec:
The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264.
H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital
video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and
bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.
- Profile:
There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up.
Choose the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:
*H.264 HP(High Profile): The primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications,
particularly for high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile
adopted by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).
* H.264 MP(Main Profile):
Primarily for low-cost applications that requires additional error robustness, this profile is
used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications, but it does add additional error
resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile.
* H.264 BP(Baseline Profile):
Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and storage
applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High profile was developed for
those applications.
* MPEG4 SP(Simple Profile):
