7 UTILITIES AND TOOLS 2.1 IPCamFinder IPCamFinder is the IP search application provided by this product. It can search all the IP CAMs connected in LAN. Through sending out the inquiry of broadcasting packets and receiving responses from IP CAMs, the window will display a list of all IP CAMs in the network. Furthermore, it also provides modify functions for changing specified IP CAM's network settings, e.g. IP Address change function. IPCamFinder tools in detail (1): IP CAM List Display PC's Ethernet network card Renew List MAC address IP address Subnet Mask Default Gateway PPPoE Setting Choose the way to get IP Wireless mode setting Show IP CAM Figure 1 Renew executed to obtain an IP 2.2 USE IP-CAM AND TEST THE IMAGE FUNCTION FOR THE FIRST TIME The following connection is suitable for IP-CAM test/fixed IP address change/program code update (strongly recommended). The operation steps are listed below: A. Installing the Product for the first time: - Your computer must be equipped with network card and RJ-45 network connector. - Connect the RJ-45 terminator on the rear of IP-CAM with the red test network cable. One end is connected to the network card of computer; the other end is connected to the rear side of the IP-CAM. - Connect the power adaptor to the power port (on the rear) of IP-CAM. Now, the status LED on the front of IP-CAM will light up. NOTEBOOK IP CAM

8 B. Check if the IP addresses for PC network and IPCamFinder are on the same network section: - Usually, static IP address will be used to access into Internet, so the IP address will vary. When you want to change IP address, please write down the original IP address on your computer first. Then you have to modify the IP address of your computer for testing if the IP-CAM can be operated normally. After finishing the test, IP address for your computer should be recovered to original settings. - In general, the IP address for your computer in LAN will be set with "Auto Obtain IP address". To test if the IP-CAM is normal, the IP address of your computer must be changed temporarily. After finishing the test, it can be recovered to original settings. C. Next, choose Control Panel->Network Connections->choose the activated area Network Connections---> right click of your mouse --->select Properties(P)---> Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)---> Select Properties(R), then you can check the current IP address status for the computer. The way to modify IP address is: D. Open and execute IPCamFinder (as shown in Figure 2). The system will automatically scan the IP-CAM that you just installed. Then, you will find 00:15:0F:00:00: in the column of IP Cam List. Click 00:15:0F:00:00: with left mouse button. You can see the default settings for IP-CAM. Step 1. Select your PC s Ethernet network card. Step 2. Click Find IP Cam with left mouse button, you with will see 00:15:0F:00:00: Step 3. Click 00:15:0F:00:00:22 with left mouse button once, you will see following information IP Address: Net Mask : GateWay : Step 4. Click Show IP Cam with left mouse button once which will start the Browser automatically. Login using Username/Password into network monitor screen (refer to 3.1 for details). If you can see the image screen, the IP-CAM is ready to use Figure 2 2.

9 2.3 HOW TO SET UP IP CAM Before you set up IP CAM, you have to know the network environment and if the IP address is fixed or float that provided by your ISP.

The higher resolution can generate larger image range, but higher resolution image requires higher network bandwidth. Following are the comparisons between the sizes of 640*480,320*480,176* x x 240: 176*144: 2. Light Source: Fixed / Omnibus: Select the environment light source mode. Fixed is for ordinary indoor lighting environment and Omnibus is for special mode such as outdoor bright lighting or dimmer lighting. 28

31 Special mode can also operate in indoor environment, yet sometime the frame rate is much slower than in normal mode. 3. Frame Rate: Fast / Normal / Slow: Select network camera output image frame rate. Higher frame rate results in smoother dynamic image. Generally, Fast frame rate is about 30 frames/ second with the expense of partial quality. Slow frame rate is 10 frames/second with higher image quality. 4.Auto Exposure: Enable / Disable: Auto Exposure adjustment turns the auto exposure adjustment function of the network camera on/off. This function automatically adjusts the light intensity. 5. Auto White Balance: Enable / Disable: Auto White Balance adjustment turns the auto white balance function of the network camera on/off. This function automatically adjusts the color to its best. 6. Brightness: Brightness manually adjusts the brightness condition of the network camera. Higher brightness makes the image brighter. 7. Contrast: Contrast manually adjusts the contrast condition of the network camera. Higher contrast increase the contrast of the image. 8. Saturation: Saturation manually adjusts the saturation condition of the network camera. Higher saturation makes the color rich and saturate. Lower saturation makes the image biased to the same color system. 9. Light Frequency: Light Frequency adjusts the image light frenquency suitable for your area. 50 Hz and 60 Hz is the most suitable image light frequency for America (60 Hz) and Europe (50 Hz) separately. (60Hz is recommended for Taiwan and 50Hz for Mainland China.) 10. Hue: Adjusts the color hue for display. 11. Mirror: Turn the left/right mirror image display on/off. 29

32 12. VFlip: Turn the vertical flip image display on/off. 13. Sharpness: Adjusts the sharpness of the image. Lower value makes the image smoother and blur. Higher value generates sharper and clearer image. After changing the settings, please click "Apply" button to save.
