This device provides 2 modes of video profile. The first one is Mega-pixel mode which supports video resolution up to Mega-pixel. However the maximum frame rate of this mode is up to 15fps only. The second one is VGA mode which supports video resolution up to VGA but frame rate can be up to 30fps. User only can select either Mega-pixel or VGA mode to operate the camera. Switching Mega-pixel and VGA, the device will take time to reboot system.

There are some important information can be embedded into image, including date, time, and/or text.

Include Date: Checkbox. Options for Predefined (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD) or Own (e.g., %Y-%m-%d, 0-12 Digits).

Include Time: Checkbox. Options for Predefined (e.g., 24h) or Own (e.g., %H:%M:%S, 0-12 Digits).

Include Text: Checkbox. Field for text (0-20 Digits).

User can only choose either Mega or 2 Mega modes. Mega mode can serve H.264, MPEG4, and JPEG streams up to 1280×720 resolution simultaneously. On the other hand, 2 Mega mode, it can streams up to 1920×1080 resolution simultaneously.

Name: Assign a name to the selected profile.

Video Type: Video codec of the selected video profile (e.g., h264, mjpeg, mpeg4).

Resolution: Resolution of the selected video profile (e.g., 1080p, 640×352).

ROI: Assign the selected profile as a ROI stream or not (Yes/No).

Rate Control: Defines the rate control method (e.g., EVBR, VBR). Options include Quality (1-100) and Max Bitrate (Kbps).

Assign the selected profile as a ROI stream or not.

Defines the rate control method of this profile. There are four options: Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR), Enhanced Constant Bit Rate (ECBR), and Enhanced Variable Bit Rate (EVBR). For CBR, the video bit rate is between low to high bandwidth based on different resolutions. User can set the desired bit rate to match the limitation of bandwidth. For VBR, user should choose the quality level to set the video quality rather than bit rate. The quality level is between 1 and 100. The higher value can reach the better quality but of course will consume higher bandwidth.

Defines the targeted frame rate of this profile. For example, set the frame rate to 15 fps, then the image will be updated for 15 frames per second as possible. User need to set reasonable max frame rate versus video quality under the limited bandwidth.

Defines the Intra/Inter-frame (I/P) ratio of this profile. For example, set the GOP to 30, then the video stream will have one Intra-frame every 30 frames.

ROI means Region of Interest. Use this page to specify ROI window which ROI is QVGA resolution. The configuration involves selecting a profile to be designated as ROI and saving the setting, typically by drawing a rectangle on the video preview.

Some features of the Network Camera can be activated by the external sensor that senses physical changes in the area Network Camera is monitoring. These changes can include intrusion detection or certain physical change in the monitored area. For examples, the external sensor can be a door switch or an infrared motion detector. These devices are customer provided, and are available from dealers who carry surveillance and security products. Electrically, they must be able to provide a momentary contact closure.

This device provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one output for device control. The pin 1 is located at the right side of terminal block from rear view. Pin 2 and 3 can be connected to an external sensor. The input voltage will be monitored from the initial state ‘LOW’. If the external sensor need 12VDC power, it can connect to Pin1 (50mA maximum). The Alarm Output of pin 3 and 4 can be used to turn on or off the external device.

User can refer to the schematic (provided in the PDF) to make a proper connection between I/O connector and external sensor and output device.

CAUTION!

THE LOW VOLTAGE/CURRENT CIRCUITS AND HIGH VOLTAGE/CURRENT CIRCUITS ARE IN THE NETWORK CAMERA CIRCUIT. THE QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD DO THE WIRING NOT BY YOURSELF. INCORRECT WIRING COULD DAMAGE NETWORK CAMERA. YOU COULD RECEIVE THE FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK.

THE EXTERNAL I/O IS NOT CAPABLE OF CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO DEVICES THAT REQUIRE LARGE AMOUNTS OF CURRENT. IN SOME CASES, A CUSTOM INTERFACE CIRCUIT (CUSTOMER PROVIDED) MAY HAVE TO BE USED. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO NETWORK CAMERA MAY RESULT IF A DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO THE EXTERNAL I/O THAT EXCEEDS ITS ELECTRICAL CAPABILITY.

The device utilizes H.264, MPEG4 and JPEG triple compression to providing high quality images. Where H.264 and MPEG4 are standards for video compression and JPEG is a standard for image compression. The audio codec is defined as AMR for 3GPP and G.711/G.726 for RTSP streaming.

The maximum number of users is limited to 20. However, it also depends on the total bandwidth accessed to this device from clients. The maximum data throughput of the device is around 20~25Mbps for UDP mode and 10Mbps for HTTP mode. Therefore, the actual number of connected clients is varying by streaming mode, settings of resolution, codec type, frame rate and bandwidth. Obviously, the performance of the each connected client will slow down when many users are logged on.

The device is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case for outdoors using. However, equipped with a weatherproof case might disable the audio function of the device.

• Check and confirm that the DC power adaptor, included in packaged, is used. Secure the power connector and re-power it on again.

Username = admin and Password = airlive. Note that it’s all case sensitivity.

Follow the steps below.

1. Restore the factory default setting by pressing and holding down more than 3 seconds on the device.

2. Reconfigure the device.

Check IP address of device by using the IPWizard II program or by UPnP discovery.

• Re-power the device if cannot find the unit within 1 minutes.

• Do not connect device over a router. IPWizard II program cannot detect device over a router.

• If IP address is not assigned to the PC which running IPWizard II program, then IPWizard II program cannot find device. Make sure that IP address is assigned to the PC properly.

• Antivirus software on the PC might interfere with the setup program. Disable the firewall of the antivirus software during setting up this device.

• Check the firewall setting of your PC or Notebook.

Make sure that your Internet Explorer is version 6.0 or later. If you are experiencing problems, try upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer from the Microsoft webpage.

Network may have trouble. Confirm the parameters and connections of the device.

• Maybe NAT router does not support UPnP function. Please check user’s manual of router and turn on UPnP function.

• Maybe UPnP function of NAT router is not compatible to the IP camera. Please contact your dealer to get the approval routers list.

Maybe too many IP cameras have been installed on the LAN, and then NAT router is out of resource to support more cameras. You could turn off and on NAT router to clear out of date information inside router.

• Maybe the IP Address of the Network Camera is already being used by another device or computer. To confirm this possible problem, disconnect the Network Camera from the network first, and then run the PING utility to check it out.

• Maybe due to the network cable. Try correcting your network cable and configuration. Test the network interface by connecting a local computer to the Network Camera via a crossover cable.

• Make sure the Internet connection and setting is ok.

• Make sure enter the IP address of Internet Explorer is correct. If the Network Camera has a dynamic address, it may have changed since you last checked it.

• Network congestion may prevent the web page appearing quickly. Wait for a while.

The IP address and Subnet Mask of the PC and Network Camera must be in the same class of the private IP address on the LAN.

• Make sure the http port used by the Network Camera, default=80, is forward to the Network Camera’s private IP address.

• The port number assigned in your Network Camera might not be available via Internet. Check your ISP for available port.

• The proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to the Network Camera, set up not to use the proxy server.

• Confirm that Default Gateway address is correct.

• The router needs Port Forwarding feature. Refer to your router’s manual for details.

• Packet Filtering of the router may prohibit access from an external network. Refer to your router’s manual for details.

• Access the Network Camera from the Internet with the global IP address of the router and port number of Network Camera.

• Some routers reject the global IP address to access the Network Camera on the same LAN. Access with the private IP address and correct port number of Network Camera.

• When you use DDNS, you need to set Default Gateway and DNS server address.

• If it’s not working after above procedure, reset Network Camera to default setting and installed it again.

• If the problem is not solved, the Network Camera might be faulty. Contact your dealer for further help.

• The first time the PC connects to Network Camera, a pop-up Security Warning window will appear to download ActiveX Controls. When using Windows XP, or Vista, log on with an appropriate account that is authorized to install applications.

• Network congestion may prevent the Image screen from appearing quickly. You may choose lower resolution to reduce the required bandwidth.

Go to C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files and check to see if there is an entry for the file “IPCamera Control”. The status column should show “Installed”. If the file is not listed, make sure your Security Settings in Internet Explorer are configured properly and then try reloading the device’s home page. Most likely, the ActiveX control did not download and install correctly. Check your Internet Explorer security settings and then close and restart Internet Explorer. Try to browse and log in again.

Setup the IE security settings or configure the individual settings to allow downloading and scripting of ActiveX controls.

Might be caused from the firewall protection. Check the Internet firewall with your system or network administrator. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the device to be accessible outside your LAN.

• Make sure that the device isn’t conflicting with any other web server running on your LAN.

• Check the configuration of the router settings allow the device to be accessed outside your local LAN.

• Check the bandwidth of Internet connection. If the Internet bandwidth is lower than target bit rate, the video streaming will not work correctly.

Use the operating system of the selected language. Set the Encoding or the Character Set of the selected language on the Internet Explorer.

• The traffic of the network and the object of the image affect the frame rate. The network congestion causes frame rate slower than the setting.

• Check the bandwidth of Internet connection. If the Internet bandwidth is lower than target bit rate, the video streaming will not work correctly.

• Ethernet switching hub can smooth the frame rate.

• Your connection to the device does not have enough bandwidth to support a higher frame rate for the streamed image size. Try reducing the video streaming size to 160×120 or 320×240 and/or disabling audio.

• Audio will consume 32 kbps. Disable audio to improve video. Your Internet connection may not have enough bandwidth to support streaming audio from the device.

• Default Gateway and DNS server address should be set up correctly.

• If FTP does not work properly, ask your ISP or network administrator about the transferring mode of FTP server.

• Click [Refresh] on the Internet Explorer when the communication stops with the device. The image will refresh.

• Other clients may be operating Pan/Tilt.

• Pan/Tilt operation has reached the end of corner.

There may be a slight delay when you are using the Pan/Tilt feature in conjunction with streaming audio and video. If you find that there is a significant delay while panning or tilting the camera, try disabling the audio streaming and/or reducing the video streaming size.

The lens is dirty or dust is attached. Fingerprints, dust, stain, etc. on the lens can degrade the image quality.

• Adjust White Balance.

• To insure the images you are viewing are the best they can be, set the Display property setting (color quality) to 16bit at least and 24 bit or higher if possible within your computer.

• The configuration on the device image display is incorrect. You need to adjust the image related parameters such as brightness, contrast, hue and sharpness properly.

• Wrong power line frequency makes images flicker. Make sure the 50 or 60Hz format of your device.

• If the object is dark, the image will flicker. Make the condition around the Camera brighter.

The video images might be noisy if the device is located in a very low light environment. Make the condition around the camera brighter or turn the White-light LED on.

Have installed Microsoft®’s DirectX 9.0 or later and use the Windows Media Player 11.0 or later to play the AVI filed recorded by the Device.

The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very useful tool to confirm the device installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other devices over the network.

• Start a DOS window.

• Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the device.

The replies, as illustrated in the PDF, will provide an explanation to the problem.

If you want to detect any other devices conflicts with the IP address of Network Camera, also can utilize the PING command but you must disconnect the device from the network first.

The frame rate of video transmitted from the device depends on connection bandwidth between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of server.

The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion video will produce smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate vice versa. Actual results generated by the device may be varying.

Note: Audio streaming also takes bandwidth around 32kbps. Some xDSL/Cable modem upload speeds could not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you may not be able to receive good quality video while also streaming audio on a 128 kbps or lower connection. Even though the upload speed is more than 128kbps, for optimal video performance, disabling audio streaming will get better video performance.

The device can be used with a router. If the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup. This device supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, user could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first. However, if user needs to configure port forwarding manually, please follow the steps as below.

Manually installing the device with a router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure as following:

(1) Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device

(2) Access the Router with Your Web browser

(3) Open/Configure Virtual Server Ports of Your Router

The device must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Manually setup the device with a fixed IP address, for example, 192.168.0.100.

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DI-624 is used as an example in the PDF to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings of the router by following the steps outlined in the router’s Quick Installation Guide.

If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. The WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.

Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. If you could not get a Static IP address from your ISP, the DIPS™ or DDNS is a solution alternatively. Please refer to Appendix G in the PDF for more information.

The firewall security features built into the router and most routers prevent users from accessing the video from the device over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the device are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.

Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:

• Click Enabled.

• Enter a unique name for each entry.

• Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP).

• Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.100, for example) in the Private IP field.

• If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Apply.

• Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.

A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 8080. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.

Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box on this line to enable settings. Then the device can be access from WAN by the router’s WAN IP Address. By now, you have finished your entire PC configuration for this device.

If you have a Cable modem or xDSL, this is a great way to host your own Networked Device or other TCP/IP Service using a domain name. Your domain name’s dynamic IP address is automatically tracked by a DDNS server. This allows you to host your own Networked Device and much more, no matter what your computer’s IP address may be, even if you have dialup, DSL or cable modem internet connection where your computer’s IP address changes all the time. DDNS service supports various top-level domain names.

Normally, DDNS service is only necessary for the users that could only obtain dynamic IP addresses. As to the users that could obtain the static valid IP address, they do not usually have to apply the DDNS service. Before we decide if DDNS is necessary for the users, we have to check what kind of Ethernet network environment we have to install our Networked Device on.

If users could obtain valid IP addresses, they could save the effort to apply DDNS service. Because the IP address in this environment is fixed, users could input the IP address or domain name of demo site directly in the IE browser.

If users is under an environment of dynamic IP network (Dial-up xDSL), they have to apply a domain name in advance. Then apply DDNS service. Finally setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE of the Networked Device in order to let the outside administrator be able to access through internet.

At last, users have to enter the web page of Networked Device and setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE after the application of DDNS service. Please check the user manual to access the DDNS and PPPoE pages. After saving the modification, restart the device. Then the external users could browse the Networked Device by the input of their domain name.

Argentina: 220V, 50 Hz. *Neutral and line wires are reversed from that used in Australia and elsewhere.

Australia: 230V*, 50 Hz. *Outlets typically controlled by adjacent switch. Though nominal voltage has been officially changed to 230V, 240V is within tolerances and commonly found.

To use the 3GPP function, in addition to previous section, you might need more information or configuration to make this function work. Note that to use the 3GPP function, it strongly recommends to install the Networked Device with a public and fixed IP address without any firewall protection.

Port 554 is the default for RTSP service. However, sometimes, some service providers change this port number for some reasons. If so, user needs to change this port accordingly.
