Alarm Service Settings
This is used to set the alarm functions on the
camera. 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
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera with IR Cut-Off Filter
50
up on a weekly basis, within a 24 hour-time frame.
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.

PT 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.

MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS
Port 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 Filter
55
port 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.

4. 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.
