Connection
Default IP Address
Since this is a network-based camera, an IP address must be assigned. The camera’s default IP
address is obtained automatically through a DHCP server in your network; be sure to enable DHCP in
"Network Settings." If DHCP is not available, the camera will use APIPA (link-local address); IPv4 link-
local addresses are assigned from address block 169.254.0.0/16 (169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255).
Connecting from a Computer & Viewing Preparation
Connecting from a Computer
Make sure the camera and your computer are in the same subnet.
Check whether the network available between the camera and the computer by executing ping the
default IP address. To do this, simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the “Start Menu”, select
“Program”. Then select “Accessories” and choose “Command Prompt”), and type “Ping” and then type
in your IP address. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.
Start a browser e.g., Internet Explorer and enter IP address. A login window as shown below should
pop up. In the window, enter the default user name: ADMIN; it is required to change the password for
added security, which requires at least 8 characters including 1 uppercase letter, 1 special character,
alphanumeric characters to log in.
Further administration on the unit can be found in "Configuration."

In “Live View” page, user will have access to real-time Live View display.
The drop-down menu under “Media Player” title consists of 2 options for display: ActiveX and JPEG.
ActiveX, only available in Internet Explorer, provides full functionality, better image quality and lower
bandwidth consumption in Live View page. On the other hand, JPEG trades ActiveX advantages for
broader browser options, including Chrome, Opera, etc., but has lower frame rate display.
Stream1/2/3 are available for user to switch among; configure each stream for better view in varied
applications.
Note
“Stream1/2/3” are available only in ActiveX mode, provided that the streams are
enabled in “Encode” section.
Other items and icons under Live View are explained in detail below.
Icon
Definition
The “Snapshot” button is for user to take a still picture (snapshot) and save it
in a user predefined folder.
The “Full Screen” button is for user to change to a full screen display (ESC to
exit full screen).
The “Manual Recording” button is for user to activate recording function.
The icon on the upper-right corner of the video display indicates that live view
video is being recorded.
The “Audio Output” button is for user to toggle (on/off) the audio output
function.
The “Zoom Control” button is for user to manipulate digital zoom
magnification. After clicking the button, hover the mouse cursor over the live
view screen and then use the scroll wheel to perform digital zoom in or zoom
out functions.
Table: Live View Icons Definition
Notes
“Full Screen”, “Manual Recording”, “Audio Out”, and “Zoom Control” icons are available
only in ActiveX mode, while “Snapshot” icon is available in both ActiveX and JPEG
modes.
“Audio Output” availability varies by different models; check the “Appendix: Product
Comparison-I/O Port”for details.
RS-485 Control Panel
The control panel on the left side of the UI contains the full functionalities of external RS-485 device,
which is compatible with the V2008 Box camera only. Refer to the detailed functions that follow.

4. Preset Position
Once the preset points of RS-485 device are defined, user can move to any wanted positions from the
Preset dropdown menu.
Scalable Frame Rate
Due to multi-browsers support, the performance of live view will vary according to the efficiency of
each browser and client device. Therefore, the “Scalable Frame Rate” is designed to help user
dynamically adjust to a desired frame rate per browser applied for smooth video display. The option
“Full” indicates a full frame rate display in response to the setting under “Encode” page, whereas “1/2”
and “1/4” mean that display frame rate will be reduced to one half and one quarter, respectively. Turn
“SVC-TError! Reference source not found.” on before using this function. Refer to “ SVC-T ” for further d
etails (only available in Activex mode).
Live View Jitter Buffer Length
Live View Jitter Buffer Length determines when to transmit media packets for Live View display based
on packets it has collected, packets it is still waiting for and the timing required to playback the media.
Dragging the adjustable bar of “Live View Jitter Buffer Length” to a higher value lessens the negative
effect, namely choppy live video display, caused by transmission delay arising from network
congestion. However, higher values also increase overall transmission latency.
Note
Live View Jitter Buffer Length is available only in ActiveX mode.
Lens Control
The specific Lens Control section under Live View is related to both lens and focus remote
adjustments; refer to chapter “ 3.1 Lens Control for details on using this.

Display Modes
Original Mode (1O)
The original warped live view is sometimes not that accurate, due to few factors including assembly
tolerance, to present a proper de-warped image under several display modes, e.g., 1P, 1P2Z.
Therefore, the calibration section is specifically designed for user to readjust the central point of
warped image to improve the de-warped performance to be closer to perfect.
Figure: Original Display Mode
Calibrate: After clicking the “Calibrate” button, user will see a red circle around the warped image.
With mouse click on the image, user can pan or tilt the circle for a proper position.
Restore Defaults: Click the “Restore Defaults” button to return the setting of warped image back to the
factory defaults, which is helpful when user over calibrates the circle out of the border.
Save: Click the “Save” button to make the calibration setting take effect.
Panoramic Display Mode (1P)
The original warped image is processed by a de-warping algorithm to generate a panoramic image
so that the user can capture the details of the edges of the image. User can swipe the screen to scroll
horizontally for optimal view.

When user clicks the panoramic screen and drags the mouse from right side to left side, the
panoramic image moves from right side to left side horizontally, and vice versa.

Note
Panoramic manipulation is only available when the camera is Ceiling Mount Type. If
user needs more details, refer to section “ 1.2 Dewarp ” for more information.
Dual Panoramic Display Mode (2P)
The Dual Panoramic Display Mode consists of two panoramic views, one for the left hemisphere of
original warped live view and the other for the right hemisphere. When user swipes one of the
panoramic screens horizontally, the other view will be moved synchronously.
