Physical Description
This section provides the information of camera and explains the
function of each component.
Front Pane, Top/Bottom Panel
There are two LED indicators on the front panel of the camera:
Power LED and Link LED.
1. Detachable Antenna
The detachable external antenna allows you to adjust its position
to obtain the maximum signal.

10
2. Link LED
The Link LED is positioned on the left side of the two LEDs. A
steady ORANGE light confirms that the camera has good
connection to LAN connectivity. Dependent on the data traffic,
the LED will begin to flash to indicate that the camera is
receiving/sending data from/to the network.
3. Power LED
The Power LED is positioned on the right side of the two LEDs.
A steady BLUE light confirms that the camera is powered on.
Rear Panel

11
1. Power Connector
The DC power input connector is located on the camera’s rear
panel, and is labeled DC5V 2.5A with a single jack socket to
supply power to the camera. Power will be generated when the
power supply is connected to a wall outlet.
2. Reset Button
Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once, and
Power LED begins to flash.
Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed
continuously for three seconds or when Power LED begins to
light up. Release the reset button and the Power LED will begin
to flash, indicating the camera is changing to factory reset. When
factory reset is completed, the camera will be set to default on
channel 11 and SSID is set as “NULL String” (This default
setting will let the camera connect to ANY access point on the
infrastructure network). The IP address will also return to the
default setting as 192.168.0.20.
3. LAN Port
The RJ-45 connector is used to connect the 10Base-T Ethernet or
100Base-TX Fast Ethernet network (which should be Category 5
twisted-pair cable). The port supports the Auto-MDIX which
allowing the camera automatically detects or negotiates the
transmission speed of the Network.

SECURITY
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of
the camera the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access
the System Administration for settings and control requirements
to allow users the level of entry and authorize the privileges for
all users. The camera supports multi-level password protection
and access to the camera is strictly restricted to define the user
who has a “User Name” and “User Password” that is assigned by
the Administrator.
The administrator can release a public user name and password to
allow remote users to access the camera.
NOTE: Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly
recommended to set the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password"
when you are the first time to use the camera. Once the ID
and Password are defined, only the administrator has the
access to management the camera. This procedure should be
done as soon as possible since the security features with the
camera will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin
Password" is defined.
