Introduction
IP Camera is a new generation product with the combination of analog camera &
IP video technology. Despite all functions which analog cameras have, IP camera can
compress and encrypt video and audio signal then send it to remote terminals through
internet with its built-in processor and web server. With its IP address, users can use
standard PC IE browser to visit IP camera, real time monitor targets, manage and store
video or image, PTZ control also is available through network.
As a new member in camera family, IP camera shares the same operation function
with the analog camera, such as, auto white balance, auto shutter speed, AGC, auto
backlight compensation etc. On the other hand, IP camera supports remote access
through internet, and support multi-user visit, some IP cameras are able to extend to
both analog and digital signal.
The core of F series IP cameras is 32Bit RSIC, adopts standard MJPEG
compression format, camera sensor is CMOS, support auto white balance and
backlight balance, support IE, cell phone browser
，
centralized monitor interface
management. In general, according to the function of audio simplex & duplex,
infrared, wired, wireless, POE, PZT, local storage, it has hundreds of products, to
meet requirements of high, middle, low ranks of users .

2.2. Installation
IP camera process image transmission on network through the use of Internet
Technology, it offers DDNS function for static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE dialing users.
IP Camera can connect to outer net through LAN, also connect directly.3 networking
connecting ways are widely applied in IP Camera:
2.2.1. Installation in LAN.
This is the most popular network access way, as long as there is a router, internet
cable connect router directly to IP Camera, IP Camera can connect to Internet as
normal PC, as shows:

2.2.2. PPP o E Installation
Under the condition, users need set PPPoE dialing parameter on IP Camera:
input the username and password ISP supplier ’ offer permit IP Camera dialing
connects to Internet. As to set the PPPoE dialing parameter, you can connect device to
network through the first way, then write parameter to the device, also through
following third way, direct process parameter written to device. The way how to set
PPPoE, please refer to 3.4.5.for detailed steps
2.2.3. IP Camera & PC connection
This method is not used too often, when you process machine write parameter or
program shift, we recommend you adopt the first connect network way, to process the
modification of machine parameter.
