Introduction
TRENDnet TV-IP310PI is a low-cost yet powerful PoE outdoor network camera. It supports
3MP image resolution, which is 50% higher than Full HD 1080P; it supports up to 100-feet night
vision, which is significantly better than most other IP cameras. The only drawback is it does not
support video clip recording.
If you need to monitor a very large outdoor site (such as a construction site), but you only need
to record one image every few seconds or minutes, then this camera is an ideal choice.

Note: This document is not designed to replace the product manual from the manufacturer. The
information provided is based on our knowledge of the model TRENDnet TV-IP310PI.It may
not be accurate or completely up-to-date. Users shall contact the manufacturer for all camera-
related issues and contact us only for CameraFTP-related (cloud service / FTP) issues.
The first two steps are camera related and are very trivial. If you have finished these basic steps,
you can skip Steps 1 and 2.

Step 1: Connect Camera to the Network and Find Its IP Address
Insert the Setup CD, follow the instructions to connect your camera. The TRENDnet TV-IP310PI supports
PoE. So usually you need a PoE switch, or you need a compatible power adaptor (not included).
Click Next, the wizard will start searching for the camera in the network. Within 1-2 minutes, it should
be able to find the camera in the network:
Select the camera and click Next

Select DHCP and click Next. If you are familiar with networking, you can also change its IP address to a
static IP address.
This camera has enhanced security. It requires you to change the default password as the first step. The
default username and password is admin / admin. You must change it.
After you changed your password, click Next, it will take a while for the camera to actually verify and
change the password. When done, it will display the following screen.

Don’t click Next yet. Click “here” instead. (If you already clicked Next, you need to run the Setup
program to reach the above screen again.)
After you click Here, it will launch a browser to access the camera’s configuration screens. See the
screenshot below:

Step 2. Access Camera's Web-based Configuration Tool
Now we have found the camera's IP address. The first step is to log on to the camera. Enter the camera’s
username and password, click Ok. It will go to the following screen:
If you have not installed the plug-in, you can install it for the live-view in your browser. For CameraFTP
service, since we offer cloud viewing, storage and playback, it is not required. You can click the
Advanced tab.
The Camera Name in this page should match the camera name you created on www.cameraftp.com.
Other than that, the CameraFTP service is generally not dependent on any parameters in the System
section of setup. You can quickly check this section and see if you need to configure anything.

Step 3. Configure the Video / Image Profile (Resolution)
Click Advanced --> Video --> Video Format, you can see the screenshot as follows:
This camera can only upload image snapshots, so only the resolution field needs to be configured.
The resolution to select is dependent on your subscription level. For this camera, the lowest resolution is
720P, so your CameraFTP subscription plan should not be lower than 1280x720.
Note: If you want to record video clips with this camera, you can use CameraFTP VSS software on a PC.
Step 4. Configure FTP Storage
Click Advanced --> Storage --> FTP Server, you will see the following screen.

You need to set the following parameters:
Enable snapshot to FTP: Enable
Server address: 66.220.9.45
Port: 21
Username, password and confirm password: The same username and password used on
CameraFTP.com
Directory structure: Save in directory
Directory: With Camera Name
Step 5. Configure Events (Motion Detection and Snapshots)
5.1 Configure Motion Detection
If you ordered a service plan with motion detection enabled, then you must configure motion detection
with your camera. Click the "Events" tab and select Motion Detection as shown below:

Enable Motion Detection: Enable
Draw a motion area in Area Settings; set a sensitivity level based on your need;
Upload to FTP: Check the checkbox.
5.2 Configure Image Snapshot Settings
This camera can only upload image snapshots and not video clips. If you ordered a video plan, you need
to order a new image plan and cancel the old video plan. Please note CameraFTP has viewer apps that
can play the recorded image snapshots just like video clips.
The snapshot image resolution is set in the Video section (Video resolution).
If you ordered a continuous image recording plan, you need to click Events --> Snapshot. See the screen
below:
In the CONTINUOUS section:
Enable: Check the checkbox
Format: JPEG
Resolution: 1280x720 (based on your CameraFTP service level)
Quality: Medium
Interval: 1 second (based on your subscription level)

If you ordered a motion-detection plan, you must configure the camera with motion detection:
In the EVENT-TRIGGERED section, please set:
Enable: Check the checkbox
Format: JPEG
Resolution: 1280x720 (based on your CameraFTP service level)
Quality: Medium
Interval: 1000ms (based on your subscription level). If you ordered 1
image/2s, then enter 2000ms.
Click Save to save the settings.
6. CameraFTP Viewer
You are all done. For safety, you can reboot the camera to make sure it still works fine. If you
need to make changes, you can run the setup program again to find the camera’s IP address (as it
may change with DHCP), and then access the camera’s Advanced Configuration pages.
After your camera is setup, you can visit www.cameraftp.com to live monitor or play back your
recorded footage from anywhere. You can also download CameraFTP Viewer App for iOS,
Android and Windows Phone.
