1. Overview
1.1 Range of IP Address
The ZIP range of IP cameras use an identical menu system which is detailed below. The default IP
address is 192.168.10.1. If you are connecting this camera to a network which is not on a
192.168.10 address, then you will have change the IP address in the camera. The safest way is to
connect this camera straight to a PC that is set to a 192.168.10 address using a crossover cable or
using the LCD390 test monitor. Other methods are covered in more detail later in this manual.
1.2 Product Description
The ZIP IP camera is a digital online surveillance camera embedded with a Web server and capable
of independent operation, giving the user access to real-time monitoring through a web browser.
The camera uses an integrated media processing platform for audio and video with H.264/ H265
High Profile encoding standards. Any remote user can have access to real-time monitoring by
entering the IP address or domain name of the IP camera in the web browser.
The IP cameras can be managed by several users with different authorisation levels.
IP cameras allow motion detection and send e-mails and can take snapshots in cases of emergency,
with the image or video snapshot stored on the internal SD card. Note that record times will vary
according to the size of the SD card but will normally be short due to the large storage space taken
by HD video and audio.
1.3 Operation Environment
Operating system: Windows 10 / Windows 7/ Windows 8 / Windows 2008 (32/64-bit),
Windows 2003 / Windows XP / Windows 2000 (32-bit)
CPU: Intel Core Duo II dual-core processor or higher
Memory: 1G or more Video memory: 256M or more
Display: 1024 × 768 or higher resolution
IE: IE 6.0 or higher version

2. IP Camera Connection
2.1 Connection direct to PC via a crossover cable
Connect IP camera to a PC via a crossover cable, with power input connected to a DC 12V power
supply and set the IP addresses of the PC and IP camera in the same network subnet. The IP camera
will communicate with the PC if the IP address in the camera is changed so that it is in the same
subnet as the PC. This can be done prior to connecting IP camera to a network.
2.2 Connection direct to PC via a LAN/Patch cable
Connect IP camera to a PC via a LAN/Patch cable, with power input connected to a DC 12V power
supply and set the IP addresses of the PC and IP camera in the same network subnet. The IP camera
will communicate with the PC within one minute if the IP address in the camera is changed so that
it is in the same subnet as the PC.
2.3 Connection to a router or switch
The most common use is connecting the IP camera to the Internet, where the camera and PC are
connected to LAN ports on a router or switch, with the gateway of the camera and PC set to the IP
address of the router.

3. Device Operation Instructions
3.1 Check Connection
1. The default factory IP address for the IP camera is 192.168.10.1 and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. Change your computer IP address to the same network subnet as the IP camera, for
example: IP Address of PC to 192.168.10.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 same as that of the
IP camera.
2. Example: To test whether the IP camera is connected properly try pinging it, by clicking on
the Windows button and the letter ‘R’on the PC keyboard, entering the Run box in left hand corner
of screen and entering “CMD” and click OK to display a black MSDOS screen with a flashing
cursor.
Then type <PING 192.168.10.1> (or IP address of IP camera)
Display should confirm the following:
pinging IP address 192.168.10.1 - four times
and - Packets Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0.
3. This indicates that the IP camera operates normally and the network is connected properly.
3.2 Searching for IP camera device using ZipFinder and changing IP etc.
ZipFinder may be used for searching and changing IP devices on a network. This program will be
found on the client CD software disk supplied with the IP camera. To run ZipFinder click on the
local connection icon on the desktop. Note that this tool must be used with care and must be
removed once the IP addressing is completed.
1. First go onto the Windows PC and add an IP address in the range of the IP default address so
the IP cameras that can be detected by your PC. Then by running ZipFinder you can search any
device within the IP address range of the IP camera and the existing PC IP address range.
Step A
Go to Control Panel, Network and Internet, Networking and Sharing Centre and then click on
Local Area Connection.
Local Area Connection

Step B Click on Properties Step C
Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPV4)
and click Properties
Step D Click on Advanced
Step E Click Add
Step F Add an IP address in the range of the IP cameras but not the IP camera/s itself then click OK
This will allow ZipFinder to access not
only the 192.168.0.? addresses but also
the 192.168.10. ? addresses for changing
to 192.168.0.<n> addresses.
Also ZipFinder uses multicast protocol
for searching across subnets but firewalls
preclude this, so firewall may need to be
disabled during this process.

2. Run ZipFinder by double clicking icon. It will search and display any online IP address and its
IP address, port number, number of channels, device type and version, subnet mask, gateway, MAC
address and connection pattern.
3. You will see that the IP camera address 192.168.10.1 displays. To change the address, click on
the box to the left of the IP address.

4. You can now change the IP address by completing the section at the bottom of the screen and
click on Modify.See note below.
Note you need to enter the IP camera password that is 777777, the new IP address, Media Port 9988,
Web Port 80, Gateway (Local IP of Router) & Net Mask (Subnet Mask usually 255.255.255.0)
5. You can now add the next IP camera and follow the same procedure above.
6. Double click IP address to display login and enter password to view picture.
3.3 Installation of Controls and Login to System
Before using IE (Internet Explorer) browser to access the IP camera for the first time, related plug-
in components must be installed by following the procedure below:
Access IP address of the IP camera to automatically load the controls from it.
In a pop-up plug-in installation dialogue box, choose an installation option to perform the
installation process.

Click on ROI in Camera Menu to open the following page:
What is ROI (Region of Interest)
Region of Interest is where you want to select from 1 to 8 areas in a picture with improved frame
rate and quality, so allowing non-ROI areas to preview in lower frame rate and quality settings. The
benefit is lower storage requirements for data and better preview of areas most important to the user.
Procedure for setting ROI:
1. Choose an area of application
2. Press down and hold the left mouse button and draw out an ROI area (only one ROI can be set
for each area) but up to 8 areas can be selected.
3. Click on Save to apply the ROI area.
Stream Ttype: Choose from Main Bit Stream, Sub-Bit Stream or Cell Phone Stream which is the
lowest quality.
Region: 1 ~ 8. (Up to 8 ROI areas can be set in one bit stream).
ROI area: Enable or disable the ROI area
ROI Level: Set quality of the image in the area.
(Select from: Lowest, Lower, Low, Normal, Better, Best.)
Non-ROI Level: Set ROI level in one bit stream; larger value indicates higher-quality image in
ROI area (1~6 Levels)
Non-ROI Level: Sets frame rate out of the RIO area; smaller value indicates higher-quality image
in ROI area. Range of frame rate is in relation to video standard and resolution. (Note: Different
non-ROI frame rates may be allocated to different ROI areas, but the minimum value among them
is used as the frame rate to be applied for the non-ROI area on the preview frame. ）
