The XP 330 supports motion detection and external alarm inputs. Motion detection means that the IP camera will sense movement and immediately it will trigger an alarm to alert about such an event. Sensitivity can be determined in a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being the setting with the highest sensitivity, while 10 represents the lowest level of motion sensitivity you can preset. Alarm actions include presets, alarm output, mail notifications, and FTP uploading of pictures. Input pins - The input pins can be used for a one-way external sensor input. For example, you can connect a Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) to it for motion detection. When an external sensor is triggered, the IP camera can be programmed to send an email with an image snapshot or control the internal relay output. If you link an external alarm with Pin 3 and Pin 4, and check the box of the alarm input, the external alarm will be enabled (this only applies to the models that have this feature available).Send Mail on Alarm - Sends picture & mail information to the set email address after the alarm is triggered.Upload Image on Alarm - Enable this function to upload an image after the alarm is triggered.Scheduler - You can set the time range for the motion alarm to be triggered. Schedules can be set

By selecting the scheduler you will be enabling the alarm.SD Card Record This is used to set certain parameters of the SD card recording.Loop rewrite: overwrites old content. Record for external input alarm: begins recording when the alarm is triggered from an external input device. Motion activated recording: starts recording when the alarm is triggered by motion. Schedule recording: begins recording at a given time period.
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter51PT settings This is used to set the pan and tilt parameters and the signaling lamp. When this light is enabled, the green LED of camera’s head will flash. When the IP camera is powered on, it will rotate by itself and stop at the center. Every time the IP camera restarts, it will turn to its center position automatically. Rotation towards the center is mainly used for positioning.Cruising speed: the rotation speed of camera’s horizontal and upright patrolling. Rotational speed such as upward speed, downward speed, leftward speed and rightward speed is controlled by the “Rotational speed manual” option.Log The log keeps a record of the IP camera operation status and information.
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter52MOBILE ACCESS To begin with, the mobile phone you must have internet access and be connected to the wireless LAN if attempting to login internally. If attempting to access externally, you must ensure to type in the correct DDNS address on the web browser or have FTP forwarding function enabled in the router in order to login via the camera’s IP address. Smart phone accessSmartphones are mobile phones that run on an operating system, such as Windows Mobile, Android, MacOS, and Symbian. This powerful capability allows the web page browser of such phones to support JavaScript, making it possible for them to view the live images captured by the camera. Internet access on your cell phone is required for this feature to work. Use the browser on the phone to enter the address of the IP camera, e.g. http://demo.ipcam.so (“demo” is the Serial No. Each device has only one Serial No).
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter53Next, taking the Opera mini 4 Version on Windows Mobile as an example, we are going to present the whole procedure. 1. Enter access address http://demo.ipcam.so in the browser address bar; the following interface will appear: 2. Once you input the Username and Password of the camera, the following interface will pop up. There are four login options. Click the third Sign-in option and use either the Mobile Phone mode, or “No Plug-In Mode (for the smartphone browser)”:Language is used to select the display language.Do not show next time: If this option is selected, this interface will not appear when you log in the next time. Instead, it will skip it and directly lead you to the monitoring page.

If the monitor picture freezes, you may press this key to update the contents of the page. Up, down, left, and right: they are used to control the direction of the IP camera. This only applies to the P/T camera models. Stop: stops the camera’s pan and tilt movement.MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGSPort Forwarding Settings in Router When accessing the IP Camera remotely or exter-nally, the port forwarding feature must be activated in the router. Port forwarding is also called port mapping or virtual server. Different brand routers have different names, but the operation is basically the same. Let’s take our Nexxt Solutions Acrux 300 router’s
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter55port forwarding setup for illustration (we recom-mend to use our Nexxt Solutions routers for best results). For illustrative purposes, the router’s default access address is 192.168.0.1, the IP camera’s access address is 192.168.0.100, and the default access port is 81. 1. First log in to the router’s web administration interface (type 192.168.0.1 on your web browser). 2. Click on Forwarding on the left column or on the “+” (plus sign) in front.3. After clicking Virtual Servers in the unfolded menu, select Add New on the right hand side.
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter564. Under Service Port and Internal Port field, input the incoming port for the IP camera (in this example, it will be 81). In the IP Address field, type the camera’s IP address (in this example, it will be 192.168.0.100). Under the Protocol drop-down menu, you have the option to set it to UDP, TCP, or ALL. We recommend setting it to ALL, but you can set the option that best fits your configuration. Next, from the drop down menu, set the Status to Enabled in order to activate this feature. Leave the Common Service Port unchanged unless your Service Port number was changed from the default, which is 81. Lastly, click Save to store the newly applied settings.The following picture illustrates the successful enablement of Port Forwarding. You can now access your camera externally utilizing the IP address.
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter57Common router default access addresses: 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.Frequently-Asked Questions Question: Why can’t the camera be found when searching? Answer: 1. First check if the IP camera and the computer are in the same LAN network. 2. Ethernet cable and/or power connection can also cause issues (under normal conditions, the power LED (yellow) is always lit while the network LED (green) is continuously flashing.)
