INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Pan/Tilt Internet Camera, a
standalone system that can be connected directly to an Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet. Compared to the conventional PC camera, the
Pan/Tilt Internet 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 for monitoring. The camera
can be managed remotely, so that you can use a web browser to
access and control it from any notebook/desktop PC over the
Intranet or Internet. The simple installation procedures and web-
based interface allow you to integrate it into your network easily.
With comprehensive applications supported, the Internet camera
is your best solution for remote monitor, high quality, and high
performance video images.

Features and Benefits
Simple To Use
The Pan/Tilt Internet Camera is a standalone system with built-in
CPU, no special hardware (such as a PC frame capture card) or
software required. The camera supports DirectX 9.0; therefore,
the only requirement you need is the web browser software such
as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. Once you have a valid IP
Address, just connect it and you can view the picture from your
camera. In addition, the camera’s pan/tilt function allows you to
adjust the camera for optimal viewing angle. You can tilt the
camera right or left (up to 156/156 degrees), forward or backward
(up to 45/70 degrees) using the Web Configuration Utility.
Support 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 and Windows NT 4.0. 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 64 users name and password are
permitted with privilege setting controlled by the administrator.

6
Remote Utility
The powerful IPView SE 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.
Broad Range of Applications
With today’s high-speed Internet services, the camera can provide
the ideal solution for live video images over the Intranet and
Internet for remote monitoring. The camera allows remote access
from a web browser for live image viewing, and allows the
administrator to manage and control the camera anywhere and
anytime in the world. Apply the camera to monitor various
objects and places such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-
care centers, amusement parks and other varieties of industrial
and public monitoring. The camera can also be used for intruder
detection; in addition, it can capture still images for archiving and
many more applications.

Physical Description
This section describes the externally components’ features of
your camera.
Front Panel
There are two LED indicators on the front panel of the camera:
Power LED and Link LED.
1. 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.
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.

10
Rear Panel
1. DC 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. The IP address will also return to the default
setting as 192.168.0.20.
3. Network Cable Connector
The camera’s rear panel features an RJ-45 connector for
connections to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast
Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 twisted-pair cable).
The port supports the N-Way protocol and “AutoMDIX” function,
allowing the camera to automatically detect or negotiate the
transmission speed of the network.

HARDWARE
INSTALLATION
Attaching the Metal Clip
To attach the metal clip, remove the two rubber pads under the
base of the camera firstly. Place the metal clip onto the camera
base, and align the two holes of metal clip with two screw holes
on the base. Secure the metal clip to the base with two screws
(provided). Then, you can:
1. Install the camera to the ceiling using two ceiling screws ();
or,
2. Install the camera to the wall using two wall screws ().

network cable connector located
on the camera’s rear panel, and
then attach it to the network.
Attach the external power supply to
the DC power input connector located
on camera’s rear panel, and then

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 defined 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 so
when remote users access the camera they will have the right to
view the image transmitted by 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.

USING THE CAMERA
You can access and manage the camera through: 1) a web
browser, and 2) the enclosed software IPView SE. This chapter
describes the Web Configuration Utility, and provides the
instructions on using the camera with a web browser.
Web Configuration Utility
The camera must be configured through its built-in Web-based
Configuration. (Extensive knowledge of LAN will be helpful in
setting up the camera.)
From the web browser, enter the default IP address to access the
Welcome screen of the camera. To configure your camera, type
http://192.168.0.20 in the address box. The number is the default
IP address of your camera. Then, press [Enter].
NOTE: The computer’s IP address must correspond with the
camera’s IP address in the same segment for the two devices
to communicate.
