INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Wireless Internet Camera, a camera
device that can be connected directly to an Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet network and also supported by the wireless transmission
based on the IEEE 802.11g standard. Compared to the
conventional PC Camera, the Wireless Internet Camera features a
built-in CPU and web-based solutions that can provide a cost-
effective solution to transmit real-time high-quality video images
and sounds for monitoring. The Wireless Internet Camera can be
managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any
PC/Notebook over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser. The
simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow you
to integrate it into your network easily. With comprehensive
applications supported, the Wireless Internet Camera is your best
solution for remote monitor, high quality, and high performance
video images.

Features and Benefits
Simple to Use
The Wireless Internet Camera is a standalone system with built-in
CPU requiring no special hardware or software such as PC frame
grabber cards. The Wireless Internet Camera supports both
ActiveX mode (for Internet Explorer users) and Java mode (for
Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator users). Therefore, all
that is required is a web browser software such as Internet
Explorer 5.0 or above or Netscape 6.0 or above. Just plug and
view the picture from your Wireless Internet Camera with a valid
IP Address.
Support Variety of Platforms
The Wireless Internet Camera supports TCP/IP networking,
SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, and can
be utilized in a mixed operating system environment such as
Windows, Unix, and Mac. It can be integrated easily into other
www/Intranet applications.
Web Configuration
Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure
and manage the Wireless Internet Camera directly from its own
web page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 32 users name and
password are permitted with privilege setting controlled by the
administrator.

6
RS-485 Support
The pin 1 & 2 of the I/O connectors are used for RS-485 data
transmission. You can connect a special featured device (such as
an external camera stand with rotation function) to meet you
needs. When the external device is connected, you could
configure the settings and control the device from the RS485
window of Web Configuration Utility.
Remote Utility
The powerful IPView Pro application assigns the administrator
with a pre-defined user ID and password, allowing the
administrator to modify the Wireless Internet 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 Wireless Internet
Camera can provide the ideal solution for live video images over
the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. The Wireless
Internet Camera allows remote access from a web browser for
live image viewing and allows administrator to manage and
control the Wireless Internet Camera anywhere and any time in
the world. Apply the Wireless Internet 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 Wireless Internet Camera can also be
used for intruder detection; in addition, it can capture still images
for archiving and many more applications.

to obtain the maximum signal.
2. Network Cable Connector
The Wireless Internet 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

3. 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

factory reset. When factory reset is completed, the Wireless
Internet Camera will be set to default on channel 11 and SSID is
set as “NULL String” (This default setting will let the Wireless
Internet Camera connect to ANY access point on the
infrastructure network). The IP address will also return to the
default setting as 192.168.0.30.
4. I/O Connector
The camera provides the I/O connectors on the rear panel (pin 1/2
are for RS485, pin 3/4 are for input, pin 5/6 are for output), which
provide the physical interface to send and receive digital signals
to a variety of external alarm devices. For more information, refer
to Appendix F, I/O Terminal Application.
5. DC Power Connector
The DC power input connector is located on the Wireless Internet
Camera’s rear panel, and is labeled DC5V with a single jack
socket to supply power to the Wireless Internet Camera. Power
will be generated when the power supply is connected to a wall
outlet.

SECURITY
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of
the Wireless Internet 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 Wireless Internet
Camera supports multi-level password protection and access to
the Wireless Internet 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 so
when remote users access the Wireless Internet Camera they will
have the right to view the image transmitted by the Wireless
Internet 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 Wireless Internet Camera. Once the ID and
Password are defined, only the administrator has the access to
management the Wireless Internet Camera. This procedure should be
done as soon as possible since the security features with the Wireless
Internet Camera will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin
Password" is defined.

quality video images and sounds for monitoring purposes. It can
be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC
desktop over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser. With the
easy installation procedure, real-time live images will be
