Introduction
The TV-IP512P PoE Network Camera transmits live real-time high-quality MPEG-4 video through
an Ethernet network useful for remote monitoring applications. The live video can be viewed
remotely and managed through the network from any computer connected to the network.
Features and Benefits
Easy to use - The Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU, no special hardware or
software is required. The camera supports DirectX 9.0; therefore, the only requirement you need
is the web browser software such as Internet Explorer 6.0 or above. Once you have a valid IP
Address, just connect it and you can view the picture and receive sound from your camera. In
addition, the camera’s stand allows you to adjust the camera for optimal viewing angle.
Motion detection and event triggered digital image or video recording – Use the Motion
Detection to take a snapshot or digital video record of objects that move through a selected area of
the video display.
Night mode and LED area illumination – Night mode is useful for low light situations. The LED
light on the front of the camera can be turned on remotely to illuminate an area immediately in front
of the camera.
Live audio for listen and speaking – The built-in mic is useful for listening for noise or voices in
front of the camera. The sensitivity can be adjusted to pick up faint noise. An audio output
connection allows use of external speakers for two way communication from the operator’s station.
Supports variety of platforms - The camera supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP
and other Internet related protocols. It can be utilized in a mixed operating system environment,
including Windows 98SE/ME/ 2000/XP/Vista. Moreover, it can be integrated easily into other www/
Intranet applications.
Web configuration - Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure and
manage the camera directly from its own web page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 20 user
accounts are permitted with privilege settings controlled by the administrator.
Remote Utility - The powerful IPView Pro 2.0 application assigns the administrator with a pre-
defined user ID and password, allowing the administrator to modify the camera settings from the
remote site via Intranet or Internet. When new firmware is available, you can also upgrade
remotely over the network for added convenience. Users are also allowed to monitor the image,
and take snapshots.

Installing the Camera
The camera should be attached to the stand included in the package. The camera stand can be
mounted on a flat surface using the three screw holes on the base of the stand. The camera is
intended for indoor use. The camera, the power adapter and power source should be protected
from water and moisture, excessive heat, direct sunlight and cold. Make sure the power adapter
and cord and Ethernet cable are safely arranged so they do not create a tripping hazard and will
not be disturbed by people or objects moving past.
Attach Camera to Stand
The camera is shipped with a camera stand. The
swivel ball screw head on the stand can be
attached to the bottom screw hole of camera. The
swivel ball mount allows the camera to be pointed
in a direction and fixed in position. Three holes on
the base of the camera stand are used to securely
attach the stand to a wall or ceiling.

Connect Ethernet Cable
To connect the camera to your network, connect a
Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to the network
cable connector located on the camera’s left side
panel, and then attach it to the network. The Ethernet
port will automatically detect and adjust to the speed
(10 or 100 Mbps) and polarity (MDI-II or MDI-X) of the
connection.
Connect Power using AC Adapter and Power On Camera
To provide power to the camera using the AC Adapter,
connect the AC power adapter to the DC power input
connector, also located on the camera’s left side panel,
and then plug it to the electrical outlet. As with any
electrical device, make sure the power source and
camera are located in an area where it is not going to
get wet or present an electrical hazard.
CAUTION: The Camera must be used with the power
adapter included with the device.

Connect Power using PoE
The TV-IP512P camera can be powered up via its Ethernet connection using Power over Ethernet
technology. The diagram below shows you how to connect the TV-IP512P camera to a PoE
enabled switch:
If the switch or router you are connecting the TV-IP512P camera to does not support PoE, a power
injector can be connected between the TV-IP512P Camera and the switch/router as shown in the
diagram below:
