PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the TV-IP252 SecurView PoE Dome
Internet Camera, a standalone system that can be connected
directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.
The camera features the latest Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 image
technology, advanced management functionality, and GPIO
connectors (e.g. connecting to the door sensors or alarm bells),
allowing you to record streaming video (Motion JPEG or MPEG-
4 ), enable motion detection, and setup automated FTP/Email/
Network Storage service for security.
The audio function (connected external microphone and audio-out
device like the active speaker) of the camera allows you to
deliver/receive sound to/from the camera. In addition, the superior
lens and hardware design enable the camera to capture high
quality images even in the low-lux condition.
Compared to the conventional PC Camera, the camera features a
built-in CPU and Web-based solutions that can provide a cost-
effective solution to transmit the real-time high-quality video
images and sounds synchronously for monitoring. The camera
can be managed remotely, so that you can use a Web browser to
access and control it from any desktop/notebook computer over
the Intranet or Internet.
The simple and versatile installation allows you to integrate it into
your network environment easily. With comprehensive
applications supported, the camera is your best solution for
demanding surveillance and remote monitoring applications.

1.3 Features and Benefits
MPEG4/MJPEG Dual-codec Supported
The camera provides you with excellent images by the
MPEG4/MJPEG dual-codec selectable technology, allowing
you to adjust image size and quality, and bit rate according
to the networking environment.
Flexible Audio Capability
The camera allows you to connect the external microphone
to receive on-the-spot audio via the Internet, allowing you to
monitor the on-site voice. In addition, you can connect an
external active speaker to the camera to speak through the
camera (supporting mono audio only).
Supports RTSP
The camera supports RTSP (Real Time Streaming
Protocol), which is a technology that allows you to view
streaming media via the network. You can view the real-
time video with the Quick Time player or RealPlayer. To
view the real-time streaming image on your computer, open
the Web browser and enter the RTSP link:
rtsp://(IP address of the camera)/mpeg4.
Remote Control Supported
By using a standard Web browser or the bundled Ultra
View software application, the administrator can easily
change the configuration of the camera via Intranet or
Internet. In addition, the camera can be upgraded remotely
when a new firmware is available. The users are also
allowed to monitor the image and take snapshots via the
network.

I/O Connectors Supported
The I/O connectors (2-in/1-out) of the camera provide the
physical interface to send and receive digital signals to a
variety of external alarm devices. You can configure the
settings and control the device from the GPIO Trigger
setting of Web Configuration.
Multiple Platforms Supported
The camera supports multiple network protocols, including
TCP/IP, SMTP e-mail, HTTP, and other Internet related
protocols. Therefore, you can use the camera in a mixed
operating system environment, such as Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Multiple Profiles Supported
The camera supports multiple profiles simultaneously, so
that you can separately set up different image settings
(such as image quality and frame rate) for the three video
types of the camera: MPEG4, MJPEG, and 3GPP.
Multiple Applications Supported
Through the remote access technology, you can use the
cameras to monitor various objects and places for your own
purposes. For example, babies at home, patients in the
hospital, offices and banks, and more. The camera can
capture both still images and video clips, so that you can
keep the archives and restore them at any time.
