Introduction
This Chapter provides details of the Wireless HD IP Camera's features,
components and capabilities.
Overview
The Wireless HD IP Camera has an Integrated Microcomputer and a high quality Mega Pixel
Omni Vision CMOS Sensor, enabling it to display high quality live streaming video over your
wired LAN, the Internet, and for the Wireless HD IP Camera, an 802.11N Wireless LAN.
Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the Wireless HD IP Camera is able to stream high quality
video and audio directly to your PC. The high compression capabilities of H.264 reduce
network bandwidth requirements to amazingly low levels.
Furthermore, with the built-in infrared LEDs, the Wireless IP camera can provide illumination
around 5 meters long under low light conditions in a simple, economical manner.
Figure 1: Wireless HD IP Camera
Features
• Standalone Design. The Wireless HD IP Camera is a standalone system with built-in
CPU and Video encoder. It requires only a power source and a connection to your LAN or
Wireless LAN.
• Dual Video Support. The Wireless HD IP Camera can support H.264 and MJEPG video
for different image compression.
• Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The video encoder and HTTP server built into
the camera generate a ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the camera using your
Web browser to view live video.

• Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home, Business or
Public Facility surveillance, or just for entertainment and fun, the Wireless HD IP Camera
has the features you need.
• Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and
other Internet related protocols, the Wireless HD IP Camera can be easily integrated into
your existing network.
• IR LEDs Support. Each Wireless HD IP Camera has 6 infrared LEDs . The LEDs can
provide illumination around 5 meters long, that can help to output a better video quality
while under low-light conditions such as indoors, on cloudy days, or in the morning or
evening.
• Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The Wireless HD
IP Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of
large objects. This function only works indoors due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor.
When motion is detection, an E-mail alert can be sent, or some other action may be
triggered.
• Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specified times using
a flexible scheduling system. The Motion Detection feature can also have its own schedule,
so it is active only when required.
• SD Card Slot. With the slot, you can insert the SD card to store recording files.
• Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Wireless HD IP Camera can send its
log data to your Syslog Server.
• Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if
desired. With built-in microphone, it is useful for bi-direction voice conversation.
• Day/Night Switch. With the day/night switching feature, you are able to view and record
better images even in the dark of night.
Internet Features
• User-definable HTTP/HTTPS port number. This allows Internet Gateways to use
"port mapping" so the Wireless HD IP Camera and a Web Server can share the same
Internet IP address.
• DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet
IP address of the gateway used by the Wireless HD IP Camera. But if the Gateway has a
dynamic IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing Gateways do
not support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the Wireless HD IP Camera.
• NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Wireless HD IP Camera to
calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp
on Video from the Wireless HD IP Camera will be correct.
Security Features
• User Authentication. If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users.
Users will have to enter their username and password before being able to view the video
stream.
• Password-Protected Configuration. Configuration data can be password protected, so
that it only can be changed by the Wireless HD IP Camera Administrator.
Wireless Features
• Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n standard provides for backward
compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless
stations can be used simultaneously.
3
• Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Wireless HD IP Camera supports either
wired or wireless transmission.
• WEP Support. Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided.
• WPA/WPA2 Support. The WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal standard is also supported,
allowing advanced encryption of wireless data.
• WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the
Wireless HD IP Camera, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

However, viewing video is still possible by logging in as the Administrator.
Figure 9: Controlling User Access
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details about using the Video Access and
User Database screens.
18
Making Video available from the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and
Broadband modem, you can make the Wireless HD IP Camera available via the Internet. You
will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the
camera.
Router/Gateway Setup
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from
Internet Viewers) to the Wireless HD IP Camera. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number
to determine which incoming connections are intended for the Wireless HD IP Camera.
This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below.
The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP
connections on port 1024 should be passed to the Wireless HD IP Camera. If necessary, check
the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.
Figure 10: Connecting via the Internet
The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry
above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the
Network screen of the Wireless HD IP Camera.
19
Wireless HD IP Camera Setup
The Wireless HD IP Camera configuration does NOT have to be changed, unless:
• You wish to change the port number from the default value.
• You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Wireless HD IP Camera.
HTTPS Port Configuration
Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Wireless HD IP Camera uses HTTP,
but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Wireless
HD IP Camera. This port is called the Secondary Port.
The default HTTP/HTTPS Secondary Port is 1024/1025. If you prefer to use a different port
number, you can specify the port number on the Wireless HD IP Camera's Network screen, as
shown below.
Figure 11: Network Screen
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network screen.
Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect
and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the
correct port number.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a
domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then
apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS screen of the Wireless HD IP
Camera.
3. Both Router and Camera should use the same port number for DDNS service.
20
Figure 12: DDNS Screen
4. Operation is then automatic:
• The Wireless HD IP Camera will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it
detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the
new IP address.
• Internet users can then connect to the camera using the Domain Name allocated by the
DDNS service provider.
Example: HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024
mycamera.dyndns.tv is domain host name. 1024 is the port number.
21
Viewing Live Video via the Internet
Clients (viewers) will also need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT
recommended.
Viewing Live Video Using your Web Browser
If using your Web browser, you need to know the Internet IP address (or the Domain name) of
the camera's Router/Gateway, and the correct port number.
Enter the Internet address of the Router/Gateway, and its port number, in the Address (or
Location) field of your Browser.
Example - IP address:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:1024
Where the Router/Gateway's Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the "Secondary
Port" number on the Wireless HD IP Camera is 1024.
Example - Domain Name:
HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024
Where the Router/Gateway's Domain name is mycamera.dyndns.tv and the "Secondary
Port" number on the Wireless HD IP Camera is 1024.
22
Motion Detection Alerts
The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.
The Wireless HD IP Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the
movement of large objects.
But the motion detector can also be triggered by:
• Sudden changes in the level of available light
• Movement of the camera itself.
Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there
is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. It cannot be used outdoors
due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor.
Note: The Motion Detection settings can only be configured while using IE browser.
To Use Motion Detection Alerts
Using the Web-based interface on the Wireless HD IP Camera, select the Motion Detection
screen, then configure this screen as described below.
Figure 13: Motion Detection
1. Enable the Motion Detection feature.
2. Set the area or areas of the video image to be examined for movement. You can define up
to 4 areas, and set the motion threshold individually for each area.
3. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Trigger & Recording screen.
4. Save your changes.
23
If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but the related
options in the Trigger & Recording screen are not enabled,
then the only action when motion is detected is to log this
event in the system log.

HTTP/HTTPS This sets the port number for HTTP/HTTPS connections to the
Camera, whether for administration or viewing video.
The HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is used for the standard
of transferring files (text, graphic images and other multimedia
files) on the World Wide Web. The default HTTP port is 60101.
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) can provide more
secure communication with the SSL/TLS protocol, which support
data encryption to HTTP clients and servers. The default HTTPS
port is 1025.
The Secondary port can be used for DDNS, other service and when
more than 2 cameras are in use.
If enabled, you can connect using either port 80 or the Secondary
port. You must enter the Secondary port number (between 1024 to
65535) in the field provided.
Note that when using a port number which is not 80, you must
specify the port number in the URL. For example, if the Camera's
IP address was 192.168.1.100 and the Secondary port was 1024,
you would specify the URL for the Camera as follows:
http://192.168.1.100:1024

Security
Security System Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected
method:
• Disabled - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID
can connect to your network. This is default.
• WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before
transmission, but the encryption system is not very strong.
• WPA/WPA2 Personal - Like WEP, data is encrypted before
transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be
used if possible. WPA Personal is the version of WPA which
does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN.
• WPA Personal - Data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK
standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much
better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support
WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
• WPA2 Personal - This is a further development of WPA-PSK,
and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
WEP
Authentication Type
Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that
fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared
Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what
method to use.
Note: In Infrastructure mode, either setting will normally work,
since most Access Points can use both methods.
WEP Encryption Select the WEP Encryption level:
• 64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)
• 128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars)
• 64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars)
• 128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars)
Passphrase Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box
and click the "Generate Key" button to automatically configure the
WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the
four key fields will be populated with key values. If encryption
strength is set to 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key field will
be given a key value.

DDNS Screen
Many Internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, as follows:
• You must register for the DDNS service with a DDNS service provider. The DDNS
Service provider will allocate a Domain Name to you upon request.
• The DDNS settings on the DDNS screen above must be correct.
• The Wireless HD IP Camera will then contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that
the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address.
(The Check WAN IP Address determines how often the Wireless HD IP Camera checks if
the Internet IP address has changed.)
This system allows other internet users to connect to you using the Domain Name allocated by
the DDNS service provider.
This screen is displayed when the DDNS menu option is clicked.

Chapter 7
Troubleshooting
This chapter covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
Overview
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless
HD IP Camera and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the
Wireless HD IP Camera still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.
Problems
Problem 1: I can't connect to the Wireless HD IP Camera with my Web Browser
to configure it.
Solution 1: It is possible that your PC's IP address is not compatible with the IP
address of the Wireless HD IP Camera.
Problem 2 When I try to connect to the Wireless HD IP Camera, I get prompted
for a user name and password.
Solution 2 You SHOULD be prompted for a user name and password if trying to
access the Administration menu.
Enter the Administrator ID and Administrator Password set on the
Maintenance screen.
If you are just trying to view Video, the User Name/Password prompt
indicates that the Administrator has restricted access to specified users.
Ask the Administrator for your User Name and Password.
Problem 3 I can't connect to the Wireless HD IP Camera using a Wireless
connection.
Solution 3 1) If a LAN cable is connected to the LAN port, the Wireless interface is
disabled. Only one interface can be active.
2) Check that your PC and the Wireless HD IP Camera have compatible
Wireless settings.
• Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc) must be correct.
• ESSID must match.
• WEP settings must match.
• In Ad-hoc mode, the Channel should match, although this is often not
required.
Problem 4 Video quality may suddenly deteriorate.

Solution 4 This can happen when an additional viewer connects to the Wireless HD IP
Camera, overloading the camera or the available bandwidth. The image
size and quality can be adjusted to cater for the required number of viewers
and the available bandwidth.
Problem 5 The motion detection feature doesn't send me any E-mail.
Solution 5 It may be that the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) server used by
the camera to send the E-Mail will not accept mail. (This is to prevent span
being sent from the server.). Try using a different SMTP server, or contact
your ISP to see if SMTP access is being blocked.
Problem 6 Using the motion detection feature, I receive E-Mails which don't show
any moving objects.
Solution 6 The motion detection feature doesn't actually detect motion. It compares
frames to see if they are different. Major differences between frames are
assumed to be caused by moving objects.
But the motion detector can also be triggered by:
• Sudden changes in the level of available light
• Movement of the camera itself.
Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in
locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is
mounted securely. This feature can NOT be used if the camera is outdoors.
Problem 7 The image is blurry.
Solution 7 Try cleaning the lens, or adjusting the Video Quality Control setting on the
Streamings screen. Video created by the lower settings will contain less
detail; this is the trade-off for using less bandwidth.
Problem 8 When is the best time to press WPS button?
Solution 8 If there is no cable connected, you can press the WPS button after the
Power LED starts blinking.
Problem 9 In some older Window XP systems, it may not be able to see H.264
video streaming.
Solution 9 In order to view H.264 video streaming in the older Window XP systems,
please install the Microsoft .net framework 2.0 or later version, so the
system will be able to deploy the built-in H.264 decoder of the camera.
Problem 10 I use the camera via IE browser in protected mode of Windows
Vista/7, there is no local recording/setup feature to be used.
Even if I run it with IE browser in non-protected mode of Windows 7,
the folder like "Windows" still can not be accessed. (There is no
recording files found in this folder as well)
Solution 10 There will be no local recording files and the setup service of associated
folder if the IE browser is in protected mode.
To use the local recording feature, please operate IE browser in
non-protected mode.
Note! Some folders (ex. ″Windows″ folder) with high integrity level can
not be accessed via non-protected mode of IE in Window 7.
