Overview The Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera, an 802.11N Wireless LAN. Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the Wireless Network HD 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 LED, the Wireless IP camera can provide illumination around 5 meters long under low light conditions in a simple, economical manner.   Figure 1: Wireless Network HD Camera Features  Standalone Design.  The Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera can support H.264 and MJEPG video for different image compression. 1
 2  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 Network HD Camera has the features you need.  Multi-Protocol Support.  Supporting TCP/IP networking, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, the Wireless Network HD Camera can be easily integrated into your existing network.   IR LED Support. Each Wireless Network HD Camera has one infrared LED. The LED 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 Network HD 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 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.  Syslog Support.  If you have a Syslog Server, the Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP address.  NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support.  NTP allows the Wireless Network HD Camera to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD 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.  Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Wireless Network HD Camera supports either wired or wireless transmission.
 3  WEP Support.  Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided.  WPA/WPA2 Support.

 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 Network HD 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 Network HD Camera. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD 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 Network HD Camera.
 19 Wireless Network HD Camera Setup The Wireless Network HD Camera configuration does NOT have to be changed, unless:  You wish to change the port number from the default value. HTTPS Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Wireless Network HD Camera uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Wireless Network HD Camera. This port is called the Secondary Port. The default HTTP/HTTPS Secondary Port is 1025. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the Wireless Network HD 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.
 20 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 Network HD Camera is 1024.
 21 Motion Detection Alerts The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected. The Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera, select the Motion Detection screen, then configure this screen as described below.  Figure 12: 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.  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.

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. 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. WEP Keys  Use the radio buttons to select the default key.   Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the same key values.   Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~ F.   Click Clear Keys to set the Keys to be blank.  Test Wireless Click this button to test the wireless connection. WPA/WPA2 Personal Shared Key Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters or 64 hex characters in length.

 52 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 Network HD Camera and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Network HD Camera still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. Problems Problem 1: I can't connect to the Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD Camera.   Problem 2 When I try to connect to the Wireless Network HD 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 Network HD 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 Network HD 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. 7
 53 Solution 4 This can happen when an additional viewer connects to the Wireless Network HD 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.
