Frequently Asked Questions - PIPCAMHD47 Pyle

How do I reset the camera to factory defaults if I forget the password?

Press and hold the RESET button on the rear panel for about 30 seconds while the camera is powered on. This restores all parameters to factory defaults. Default username: admin, password: Pylecam.

Why is there no picture displayed in Internet Explorer?

You need to install the ActiveX control. Before logging in, click the ActiveX icon to download and run the installer. Ensure ActiveX settings are enabled in IE: Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > enable all ActiveX controls and plug-ins.

What should I do if the video is not smooth?

Possible reasons: low frame rate, too many users, or insufficient bandwidth. Try increasing the frame rate in settings, reduce the number of connections, or lower the video bit rate and resolution.

I cannot access the camera via IE browser. What could be wrong?

Check network connectivity, ensure the camera's IP is not occupied, and that both devices are on the same subnet. Also verify the web port is correct and not blocked by firewall. If necessary, press RESET to restore factory settings (default IP: 192.168.1.155).

The image color is abnormal (green or other colors). How to fix?

Run the program Config.exe from the downloaded OCX files (or C:\windows\system32\Config.exe). Set the display buffer parameters to auto-detection, using display card memory or system memory. Then reopen IE and reconnect.

There is no audio while monitoring. What should I check?

Ensure an audio input device is connected to the camera's audio input jack. In the camera settings, enable audio (both microphone and speaker). Check that the audio option is ON and the volume is not muted.

Why does DDNS fail to connect?

Verify that the camera can access the internet. Set up port forwarding in your router for the camera's web and media ports. Use the correct DDNS hostname, user, and password. Ensure your router supports UPnP or manually forward ports.

Image processing doesn't work properly (slow display, abnormal color).

Check if DirectX is installed and acceleration is enabled. Run dxdiag and enable DirectDraw Acceleration, Direct3D Acceleration, and AGP Texture Acceleration. If your graphics card doesn't support these, upgrading the card may be necessary.

How do I set up the camera wirelessly?

In the camera's network settings, click Search to scan for Wi-Fi networks. Select your SSID, set encryption (WEP/WPA/WPA2) matching your router, enter the key, and enable Wireless Lan. Ensure the camera is within range of the Wi-Fi signal.

Can I view the camera on my smartphone?

Yes, the manual mentions a Quick Start Guide for smartphone setup. The camera supports P2P and DDNS, allowing remote access. Use the manufacturer's app or third-party software compatible with the camera's P2P GUID.

2. INSTALLATION AND SETTINGS

System Requirement:

Operating System: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7

Network Protocol: TCP/IP

Network Structure: Applies to all network connections 10/100M LAN platform

Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or above. Firefox, Google, Safari, or Chrome.

2.1 Network Connection

Intranet and Extranet Connection Reference:

Extranet means public IP (i.e. The Internet), Intranet means private IP. If your IP belongs to the follow range, then it's a private IP:

Category A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

Category B: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

Category C: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Intranet Connection: The IP camera and your computer (device) should be under the same network environment, and both of the IPs should be under the same subnet, pictured as below:

Extranet Connection: there are 2 ways as below:

(1). IP camera connects to the Internet via a router, here camera's IP is a private IP, client needs to connect to the IP camera through a router, with port forwarding to be connected correctly, as below:

graph TD
    A["IP camera"] --> B["Ethernet"]
    C["Internet"] --> D["router"]
    E["Computer"] --> F["Internet"]
    G["Computer"] --> H["Internet"]
    style A fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    style B fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style C fill:#cfc,stroke:#333

    style E fill:#cff,stroke:#333
    style F fill:#ffc,stroke:#333
    style G fill:#cfc,stroke:#333
    style H fill:#fcc,stroke:#333

(2). IP camera connects to the Internet directly, if it's a fixed IP provided by your ISP, just input it. If it's a floating IP, then input the account and password provided by your ISP to dial-up connection.

2.2 Browser Settings (For IE only)

OCX will be downloaded automatically when you login to the IP Camera, but you might have to set the IE browser to enable the OCX to be downloaded automatically after signing in. Steps as below:

1. Close the firewall of your computer.
2. Change the ActiveX settings, "IE" browser > "Tool" > "Internet Options" > "Security" > "Custom Level" >
   "ActiveX control and Plug-ins", all the ActiveX options set to be "Enable":

Especially:

Enable: Download unsigned ActiveX controls

Enable: Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins

You can also click "Start" menu->"Internet Explorer", and choose "Internet attributes", or via "Control Panel" ->"Internet Explorer", to access Security settings.

NOTE: Make sure that your firewall or anti-virus software doesn't block the software or ActiveX. If you couldn't see live video, please close your firewall or anti-virus software, and try again.

2.3 UPnP Service

UPnP could help you to find your camera's IP more quickly. For Window XP, from "Control Panel" > "Add or remove applications" > "Add or remove Windows component" > "Network service" > "Detailed data" > "UPnP users interface", the factory default settings is disabled. Enable it, then it can allow your operating system to support UPnP.

Alternatively, you can also click "Start" menu>“Internet Explorer”, and choose "Internet attributes", or via "Control Panel" >“Internet Explorer”, enter to Security settings.

2.4 IPCam IP Address Search Tool (for IE browser only)

Step 1: Use tool "SearchIPCam.exe" to find IP address of LAN.

Step 2: Double click "Search IPCam" on your desktop, the camera's IP & MAC address will be displayed. If you want to search again, click "Search".

Step 3: Double-click the IP address of your camera to enter the login interface.(default user: admin; password: Pylecam)

Solution: Check IP address, Subnet masking and Gateway.

Possible reason 4: Physical address of network conflicts with the IP camera.

Solution: modify the physical address of IP camera.

Possible Reason 5: Web port has been modified.

Solution: Contact as Network Administrator to obtain related information.

Possible Reason 6: Unknown.

Solution: Press RESET to restore to factory settings then connect it again, the default IP address is 192.168.1.155, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

Solution: Install DirectX image driver, then click "Start">"Run">input "dxdiag", set enable "DirectDraw Acceleration" "Direct3D Acceleration" "AGP Texture Acceleration" functions.

Figure 13.0

Note: If you are unable to do it, it means your DirectX is not installed properly or hardware doesn't support this function.

9. Fail to use DDNS

Possible Reason 1: The PC or IP Camera can't connect to the internet.

Solution: Check the internet connection and settings.

Possible Reason 2: Port forward is not set in router.

Solution: Set the port forward of extranet in router correctly.

For example, if IP Camera address is: 192.168.1.100, Media port is 38401, Web port is 85, factory DDNS is http://test.aipcam.com.

Set Port Forwarding in the router.

This is an important step. You need to set port forwarding in your router, to refer to the IP of your camera correctly, for DDNS to work. There are so many kinds of routers, so it's difficult to show fixed steps, but here are some samples of different router's port forwarding settings, just for reference:

TP-LINK:

1. Login to the router.

1. Choose "Forwarding", select "Virtual Servers"

2. Click the Add New button, pop-up below:

Add or Modify a Virtual Server Entry

Figure 13.1

Fill in the service port (don't use 80), IP address of the camera, then click Save NOTE: The port and IP address should be the same as the camera.

Fill in the web port, for example port 85, IP address as 192.168.1.100, click Save.

(1) Repeat step 3 above, it will pop-up the window again, fill in the media port as 38401, IP address as 192.168.1.100, then save.
(2) Then check the "Device Info" – "DDNS Status",

It will show DDNS: http://test.aipcam.com:85, input this link in IE, then you can visit this camera remotely.

BELKIN:

1. Login to the router.
2. Choose "Firewall", select "Virtual Servers"
3. Input the port (don't use 80) and IP address, then click save.

NOTE: The port and IP address should be the same as the camera.
