IP cameras are a new generation product that combine analog and IP video
technology. IP cameras can compress and encrypt video and audio signals then
send it to remote terminals through the internet with its built-in processor and web
server. With an IP address, users can use the standard Internet Explorer browser
to view the camera real-time, monitor targets, manage and store video and audio,
as well as control PTZ through the network.
As a new generation of products in the security family, IP cameras share the
same function as analog cameras such as auto white balance, auto shutter
speed, AGC, auto backlight compensation etc. On the other hand, IP cameras
also support remote access through the internet, and support multi-user viewing
functions. Some IP cameras are even able to extend to both analog and digital
signals.
The core of F series IP cameras is 32Bit RSIC with standard MJPEG compression
format, CMOS image sensors, auto white balance and backlight balance, Internet
Explorer compatibility, smart phone accessibility, and centralized monitor interface
management. In general, these cameras host a variety of functions that can serve
a number of users depending on their usage requirements and conditions.

Backup: follow-up product extend interface.
IP camera has the ability to process images and transmit via an internet
connection. It offers DDNS function for static IP, dynamic IP, and PPPoE dialing
users. IP camera can connect to outer network through LAN connection. It also
can connect directly as these are all widely applied and accepted in IP cameras.
2.2. Installation
This is the most popular way to access as long as there is a router with internet
capabilities. Connect router directly to IP camera, the camera will then connect to
internet as a normal PC, as shown:
2.2.1. Installation in LAN.
5

This method is not used as often, but when you process machine be sure to write
parameter or program shift. We recommend you adopt the LAN connection to
process the modification of machine parameter.
2.2.3. IP Camera & PC connection
Under this connection, users must set PPPoE dialing parameters on the IP
camera itself. Input the username and password of ISP supplier and offer permit
IP camera dialing to connect to internet. To set the PPPoE dialing parameter
connect the device to network through the first way, then write parameter to the
device. Another option is to follow the third way to direct process parameter and
write to device. For detailed steps please refer to 3.4.5.
2.2.2. PPPoE Installation
Connect to IP camera (note: don't apply wrong power).After one minute
modification, video should be connected by internet cable directly to the camera.
When yellow light is on and green light is blinking, you will know that the physical

connection of IP camera is finished. To ensure successful connection, we
recommend setting the camera IP as the stable IP at the same net range of PC in
LAN. For how to set this, please refer to number 8 of frequently asked questions.
3.1. Use Search tool Software
After IP camera connects to PC LAN through router, you can operate on IP
camera via PC, first please run the relative software in the CD kit.
3. IE Browse to IP Camera
Open the disk, double click icon (the IP Finder software), and the
following interface will appear:

Note:
Before using the product installation, please just use IPCAM standard power
adapter. The use of non-certified power adapter may damage the IPCAM. IPCAM
should only be installed in the indoor environment.
If the internet cable and power connect is functioning properly, click the
button. Device styles, name and IP address will be in the list. (if it
does not appear, please confirm power and internet cables are working properly)
After you finished the install of the IP Finder software, You will see the
icon. Double click the icon to run the IP Finder.
Figure3.1
Figure3.2

If the internet cable and power connect is functioning properly, click the
button. Device styles, name and IP address will be in the list. (if it
does not appear, please confirm power and internet cables are working properly)
Note:
After you click the search button the software will automatically search for all the
devices’ IP addresses within a local area network.
There are three cases:
1. IP cameras’ IP address is not found. After you clicked the search button the
devices’ IP address did not show in the software’s list: e.g. Figure3.1
2. IP camera’s IP address is found, but the IP Camera’s network segment is not
the same as the local IP address’. To fix this you should change the IP Camera’s
network segment to be the same as the local IP address’. You can change this
following 3.1.1 Configure Network Parameter e.g. Figure3.4 (e.g. The local
computer’s IP address is :192.168.0.15 but the device’s IP address is:
192.168.1.99. You need to change the device’s IP address:192.168.1.99
to:192.168.0.99)
3. IP cameras’ IP address is found and the device’s network segment is the
same as the local IP address.All devices are listed in the software list.
Note:
1. If it needs manual modification- camera name, HTTP interface, IP address,
sub-net mask, gateway, main DNS server, backup DNS server, etc. Click apply
after modification, enter IP camera username and password and click OK to
confirm.
2. Inner visit address is the LAN address; outer visit address is WAN address.
Figure3.3
First select the device’s IP address. Right-click to open the network configuration
dialog box, and from there you can configure the devices’ network parameters.
3.1.1 Configure Network Parameter

Note:
IP Address: Fill in IP address, ensure that the IP address’ network segment you
have filled is the same as the PC network segment.
Mask: Use the default subnet mask e.g: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: Ensure that the device’s network gateway is the same as your PC’ s.
DNS: DNS service provider’s IP address.
Port: Device provides HTTP services, port, usually 80
User and password: The default administrator account is admin. Password is
blank.
Use DHCP Device uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If enabled each
time you start the device will be from a DHCP server (typically a router or modem)
to obtain IP addresses. If not you must manually set the IP address.
Type the correct user name and password (user must have administrator
privileges) and update system firmware with the Web UI firmware
Before Internet Explorer can access through the web, you first must install a video
plug-in. Installation mode is below:
Open disk, find icon. Double click this icon and process
installation. Click the next step to finish.
3.2. Logging and Active X installation
Figure3.4

There are two way to log IP camera:
1) Double-click the device’ IP address in the list of IP Finder. (Figure 3.2). Internet
Explorer will automatically open and display the device’s login screen.
2) Access directly through Internet Explorer by manually entering the device IP
address in the Internet Explorer browser’s address bar. For example: Figure3.5
When the item connects to outer networking, a log-in interface will appear. For
example: Figure3.6
