Chap 3. Overview : SIP Cam function
Tips : SIP Cam = Session Initiated Protocol Camera
PIR = Passive Infra Red
GPIO = General Purpose Input/Output
The main application of SIP Camera (it will be called as the device hereafter) is used in the
surveillance scope. It has built-in camera and a SIP phone.
It can be used to monitoring (guard safe in house), and the SIP phone can be used as
emergency call as a bidirectional telephone conversation.
There are 3 detection methods, they are : motion detect , PIR and GPIO (external sensor).
(you can use GPIO to connect to the other safety guard, such as door alarm system).

SIP Cam User Manual
The device can be connected to network with wired or wireless connection. With wireless
connection, it supports IEEE 802.11 b/g. The wireless model makes the network usage more
convenient without the hassle of cable installation.
If something unusual happens, for example, motion detection or IR detect a man and cause
event trigger, you can set notice to the guardian by Alarm Sound, telephone (SIP phone),
email, FTP, etc.

*Tips : DHCP : Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
Menu : Network / Network
If local network has a DHCP server, DHCP server can dynamically give the device one
floating(Non-fixed) IP address, you can ask MIS administrator to acquire the detail.
When using DHCP mode, please set DHCP Status to "ON"; When using Fixed IP mode,
set DHCP Status to "OFF" and fill the fields in the fixed IP mode, including IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS, and Secondary DNS.
Press “Apply" button to submit and complete the process.
5-3 Wireless Installation
*Tips : WPS = Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
First thing you have to do is to find out the configuration of your wireless AP. There are
two methods of connecting the device to the AP. One is WPS method, the other is
traditional method (without WPS). The WPS method has two profiles: One is push button
method, the other is PIN code method. If your AP supports WPS push button method, it's
quickest method to setup. The traditional process (without WPS) is most complicated
process. See the following setup process for these 3 methods:

4. Activate security 3. Access registrar 3. Push button on AP
5. Set passphrase (see note1) 4. Enter PIN 4. Within 2 minutes, push
button on SIP Cam. (On back of
SIP Cam, the pinhole labeled
WPS)
6. Power on SIP Cam
7. Select network name (SSID)
8. Enter passphrase
If your AP doesn't support WPS, a traditional process is used. Assign one security protocol.
For example, after power on AP and access AP, assign WPA-PSK(TKIP) in Encryption
method of wireless AP. Assign a 8~63 ASCII characters as preshared key. Save and reboot
it. Then on the web site of the device, go to Network / Wireless; choose Enable to “On”;
fetch the value in ESSID field in wireless AP, and copy to ESSID field of the device.
Unplug the wired ethernet cable line, use search tool (for example, V750WConfig.exe) to
search the device, if you cannot find the device, go back to check the wireless settings again.
(note1) passphrase : A passphrase is a sequence of words used to control access to a
computer system, program or data. A passphrase is similar to a password in usage, but is
generally longer for added security. Passphrases are often used to control both access to, and
operation of, cryptographic programs and systems. Passphrases are particularly applicable to
systems that use the passphrase as an encryption key.

After registration to SIP Server, you can test a call from softphone to the device in the LAN.
For example, a SIP Proxy server created as 192.168.66.65; we want to set the SIP phone
number of the device and softphone to 201@192.168.66.65 and 202@192.168.66.65
respectively.
(a). Set the SIP phone number of the device to 201@192.168.66.65
Menu : Phone / SIP
SIP Proxy : 192.168.66.65
Username : 201
Password : 201 (or anything else)

202@192.168.66.65) to the device (SIP phone number : 201@192.168.66.65). As you have
finished all steps in Chapter 7-1, the only thing you have to do here is enter the SIP phone
number you want to call ( text box 3 in Figure 7-7), choose “Voice & Video” in 4 (Figure 7-
8) if you want a call with voice & video simultaneously, after that, press “Start!” button in
the linphone panel. A ring tone should be heard on the SIP Cam side, after about 5 seconds
and ring tone changed from “DU-----------DU-----------”(longer time gap between two "DU"
sound) to “DU—DU—DU”(shorter time gap between two "DU" sound), press PIN code
designated in the Phone / Incoming call, after that, phone should be connected, so image on
the device side will appear, (through the camera lens) , you can talk with the man on the
device side (if any), check the quality of the voice and the video. After test is done, you can
press “stop” button in the linphone panel to end the phone.

8-3 Upgrade
a. Web Upgrade (Firmware Upgrade)
You can upgrade firmware through web. Please refer to the following paragraphs in
Web_User_Manual_English_vXXX.pdf.
Menu : Maintenance / Configuration / Upgrade
b. Provision
The device supports auto provision. Auto provision is an automatically sync configuration
tool. When system boot on, if you provides provision server IP address then the device will
use HTTP connect to provision server to get configuration back to sync its settings. So it is
the simplest upgrade method on the condition that you've provide provision server IP
address and Internet network is ready.
According to the provision file, the device can download firmware individually after finish
doing auto provision. If it finds firmware version is not the same with the embedded one
then it will download from provision server IP address and do firmware upgrade
automatically. Auto Firmware Upgrade supports FTP protocols to fetch firmware file.
