Input Pins: The input pins can be used for 2-way external sensor input. For example,
you may connect a Person Infrared Sensor (PIR) to it for motion detection. When
external sensor triggered, IP Camera can be programmed to send an email with picture
or control the internal relay output.
Input pins can connect 2 sensors. The sensor should provide open/close signal only. The
two lines of sensor 1 should connect to Pin 3 & Pin 4; the two lines of sensor 2 should
connect to Pin 5 & Pin 4.
Output Pins: IP Camera has an internal relay. Relay’s two normally open contacts are
represented by Pin 1 and Pin 2. You may use it to control one external load below AC/DC
36V & 2 Amp.
While connecting input and output pins, strip off the protect rubber of wire for 5mm, the
use a small screwdriver to depress and latch down the orange tabs over holes, Insert the
red wire into hole until the insulation just reaches the back of the camera, use the
screwdriver to press down and release the orange tab above hole locking the wire in
place. Repeat the steps for other wires.

Check the LEDs on the RJ45 socket of IP Camera. If connection is ok, the green LED
turns on. If there’s any active data transportation, the orange LED will flash.
The LCD panel of IP Camera will show IP Camera’s current IP address/Network
Mask/Gateway.
IP Camera is available for visiting now. You have two methods to visit its homepage:
1）Run IPCamSearch Tool in the CD. This software will search for all IP Cameras in
your LAN. Select one and then click [visit] to continue.
2）Run an Internet Explorer, and input the IP address as shown on the LCD to IE’s
address bar, for example: http://192.168.0.234.
Note: IP Camera by default use fixed (static) IP address setting. The default
IP address is :192.168.0.234, Network Mask is 255.255.255.0, Gateway is
192.168.0.1
4.3 Use IPCamSearch Tool to setup IP Cameras
Put the supplied CD into your CDROM, Click and run IPCamSearch.exe Tool.
Figure 14 IP Camera Search Tool
This tool shows all IP Cameras found on your LAN with its Serial Number/IP
Address/Firmware Version. If your IP Camera’s IP address is not as the same segment
of your PC(defined by IP Address and Network Mask), you may not be able to visit your
IP Camera. For example, Your PC’s IP address is 192.168.100.33, network mask is
255.255.255.0, then your PC will only reach IP address 192.168.100.1 to
192.168.100.255, If your IP Camera’s IP Address is not within this range, you cannot
- 12 -

access it. Then you may click [Setup IP] button to change IP Camera’s IP address to
adopt your PC setting.
Click [Auto Set], let IPCamSearch.exe tool find an available IPAddress for you.
Figure 15 Modify IP Camera’s IP Address
Click [OK], and then input administrator’s username and password to continue.
Figure 16 Input Administrator’s Username and Password

Input the correct username and password, and click [OK], then you can see a message
box indicating IP Camera’s IP Address has changed(IP Camera is in static IP mode
now).
Then you may click [Visit IPCam] to run an Internet Explorer, You can do more
configuration by click [System Setup] on homepage of IP Camera.
- 13 -

Note: If you don’t have IPCamSearch.exe tools at hand, you may change
your PC’s IP Address to the same segment, according to the IP shown on
IP Camera’s front LCD. Then you can input IP Camera’s IP Address into
IE’s address bar to access.
4.4 View Video on Web Browser
You may visit IP Camera’s homepage by IE or other compatible web browsers.
Figure 17 IP Camera Home Page
Click “User Visit” to view video. You will see a message box which requires your login as

return to home position. Note, Do not cruise long time continually.
On the left, you can also select the Resolution, Quality, Brightness, Contrast and Zoom.
Resolution can be 640x480, 320x240, and 160x120. The higher resolution, the higher
clarity, while requiring more bandwidth.
Quality can be “High”, “Standard” or “Low”. “High” consumes largest bandwidth, thus the
frame per second will down.
If you feel the frame per second (fps) is too slow, and hope to increase it, you may select
“Low” quality and lower resolution. If you hope to see clearer image, you may choose
“High” quality and higher resolution.
Brightness and Contrast can be changed according to different environment. “+” means
add, “-” means reduce. “STD” means a standard (middle) value.
- 15 -

Zoom will show the video in a scale of half or double. It won’t affect the transport fps or
bandwidth.
Click [Snapshot] will pop up a new page to snap a static JPEG image, you may click right
key of mouse and select “save as…” to store it to your computer.

.
4.6 Mounting the IP Camera
The IP Camera can sit on a flat surface, such a shelf or bookcase, be mounted to a wall
using the included bracket, or mounted atop a tripod stand using the standard tripod
mount located on the underside of the base. When using the camera free standing, be
sure to secure the cables. Failing to secure the cables could cause the camera to be
pulled off the mounting surface resulting in damage to the camera.
CAUTION: The IP Camera should be mounted indoors or inside a
weatherproof enclosure. Outdoor exposure may result in damage and will
void your warranty.
CAUTION: Don’t mount the IP Camera with the lens facing into direct
sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will damage the sensor.
- 16 -

The mounting bracket included with your camera provides convenient mounting to
vertical surfaces, such as walls. The camera support platform can be tilted up or down to
help point the camera toward your area of interest. You can also rotate the camera in
any direction on the platform.
Step 1. Find a suitable location to mount the camera.
Step 2. Using the mounting bracket as a guide, mark the location of the two mounting
holes.
Step 3. Drill a ¼” hole for each screw.
Step 4. Use a hammer to tap the two plastic anchors into the holes.
Step 5. Use the two screws to fasten the bracket to the wall.
Step 6. Place the camera on the mounting bracket platform and rotate the camera to be
facing in the desired direction.
Step 7. Secure the camera to the mounting bracket using the thumbscrew located on the
bottom of the platform.
Step 8. Loosen the tilt adjust thumbscrew and tilt the camera toward the area to be
observed.
