Overview
This user’s guide explains how to operate the Video Server from a computer. User
should read this manual completely and carefully before you operate the device.
Introduction
This Video Server is an inexpensive fully scalable surveillance technology. Because the
Video Servers can be plugged into your existing local area network infrastructure, you
will potentially save thousands of dollars on unnecessary cabling.
The device is accessible via the LAN or Internet connection. Connect your Video Server
directly to a local area network or xDSL modem, and with Microsfto® Internet Explorer
you get instant, on demand video streams. Within minutes you can set up the device to
capture a video sequence to a PC. The live video can be uploaded to a website for the
world to see.

Hardware Installation
1. Attach video source to Video Server
To use this device, user must supply video source to this device first. Typical,
user may utilize box camera, doom camera, bullet camera, P/T camera, Speed
doom camera, or others as the video source. Connect the BNC terminal of
camera to the device’s video input and make sure to power on these cameras
first. Otherwise, the operation may be incorrect.
2. Attach audio source to Video Server (option)
If user needs not only video stream but also audio stream, then the audio source
should be attached to Video Server. User may utilize line output of standard
camera or audio amplifier, or others as the audio source. Connect the RCA
terminal of audio device’s line output to the Video Server’s RCA input and make
sure to power on your camera or audio device first.

Video Server User’s Guide
12/83
3. Plug an Ethernet cable into Video Server
Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN socket located on the device’s panel and attach it
to the network.
4. Connect RS485 (option)
When users would like to apply a camera with P/T/Z function, they usually need to
connect their communication port (for camera control) through RS485. After RS-485 was
correctly connected to D+ and D-, the remote users could control the camera movement
through Internet.
5. Connect the external power supply to Video Server
Connect the external power supply to the 12VDC power in connector of the Video Server.
Note: Use the power adapter, 12VDC, included in the package and connect the other
end to wall outlet for AC power.

Video Server User’s Guide
13/83
Once you have installed the Video Server well, the status LED will turn green. It means
the system is booting up successfully. Furthermore, if you have a proper network
connection, and access to the Video Server, the LED will flash green
Note: Connect the DC power to one external camera from Video Server (option)
The Video Server can provide 12VDC out to supply one external camera. Note that the
output current is 400mA maximum.

Preparation
Search and Set up by IPWizard
When you installed the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to
search your Cameras by IPWizard or UPnP discovery. Here is the way to execute
IPWizard to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.
Search
When click Search button, a searching window will pop up. IPWizard is starting to
search Video Servers on the LAN. The message “No Network Devices Is Found” will
appear on this window if IPWizard can not find any device on the LAN. Otherwise,
existed devices will be listed as below.

Video Server User’s Guide
15/83
If IPWizard finds network devices, Wizard button will be available. Please select the
device you want to set-up or connect and click the left button of the mouse on the
Information Box. The words on the Information Box will turn from white to yellow which
means this device is selected. Or you could double click the left button to connect to the
network device. Relative settings will be carried out after you press Installation Wizard.
Details of Installation Wizard will be specified as below.
Wizard

When Wizard button is available, you can proceed to set up relative settings on the
selected device. Further procedures can be carried out when device is available on the
LAN.
After pressing Installation Wizard, please key in authorized name of the device and
password when login dialog box appears on the screen. You can login the setting page if
authorized name and password is approved.
Wizard page 1: Username and Password
This page is about the change of the authorized name and password of the selected
device. If you don’ t want to change them for the time being, please click on “ Next” to
move to the next page. Press “ Exit” button if you don’ t want to set up right now. If
you want to change authorized username or password, you have to click on the box.
Authorized username should contain at least 5~20 characters and password should
contain at least 4~8 characters.

Using UPnP of Windows®XP or Vista
UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that
provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This
device is an UPnP enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, of your PC is
UPnP enabled, the device will be very easy to be found.
Please refer to Appendix K to enable UPnP settings only if your operating system of PC
is running Windows XP.
Note: Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.
To discover your device, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places.
Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Device
automatically.

Video Server User’s Guide

Install the Device behind a NAT
Router
Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the
Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the
device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP
address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the
WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual
Server function of router needs to be setup.
However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT
traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt
to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:
 (1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
 (2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
 (3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is
enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of
routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT
router for detail.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting ÎNetwork ÎUPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting.
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
Refer to Setting ÎSystem ÎSystem page for detail DIPS information.
