Frequently Asked Questions - FE-201DM AIRLIVE

How do I reset the FE-201DM to factory defaults?

Locate the reset pinhole on the front panel. Insert a pin and press for about 3 seconds until the PWR LED blinks orange. The camera will reboot with factory settings. To keep network parameters, you can also use the Maintenance page in the web interface and click "Factory Default" with the option to retain network settings.

What is the default IP address and login?

The default IP address is 192.168.1.100. The default username is admin and default password is airlive. You can change these in the Security menu.

How can I access the camera from a mobile device?

Download the AirLive CamPro Mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Install and open the app, tap Setup, then Add and Auto Search to discover your camera. Enter the username and password (default admin/airlive) and save.

What viewing modes does the fisheye camera support?

The FE-201DM offers multiple display modes: 360° Panorama, Original View, Double Broad View (two 180° views), Triple View (180° plus two PTZ windows), Quad View (four split windows), and ePTZ with up to 10x zoom and 4 preset points.

How do I set up motion detection?

Go to the web interface: Configuration > Event > Motion Detection. Enable motion detection, then click Add to define up to 10 detection windows. You can name each window and adjust its size and position. Then configure the action (Video or Snapshot) under the Video or Snapshot tabs, choosing triggers like Schedule, Motion, or GPIO.

Does the camera support local recording?

Yes, it has a built-in MicroSD card slot that supports SDHC/SDXC cards up to 64GB or higher. You can also save recordings to a remote NAS (NFS or SMB) or upload via FTP/email. Configure storage under Configuration > Storage.

Can I use PoE to power the camera?

Yes, the FE-201DM supports IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet). You can power it via a PoE switch or injector. Alternatively, use the included 12V DC adapter. Do not connect both power sources simultaneously.

How do I clean the camera lens?

Use a soft, lint-free cotton cloth to gently wipe the lens. If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with water or lens cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive materials or solvents.

What is the night vision capability?

The camera has a removable IR-cut filter for day/night switching. Minimum illumination is 0.1 Lux in black-and-white mode. It does not have built-in IR LEDs, so it requires external infrared lighting for night vision.

How can I upgrade the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from the AirLive website. In the web interface, go to Configuration > System > Maintenance. Click Browse to select the firmware file, then click Upgrade. Do not power off during the process. The camera will reboot automatically.

Pin Function Description
1	GND	Digital Input: only one set is designed in this Camera Model. The internal device is also photo-coupled electrical relay; and the external device can be simply an On/Off switch. Each set of On/Off switch can be connected as one trigger source.Digital Output: each digital output pin to COM is a photo-coupled relay on Normal Open status. External device can directly connect to the terminals. However the current that will go through the 2 nodes must not exceed 130mA. An external “Relay” can also be connected to the terminals as an implementation. In this case, current (or/and voltage) limitation is specified by the external Relay.

While PPPoE protocol is selected, you may have to enter some more information such as the above picture.

While Camera IP is changed dynamically because of PPPoE Network Connection, its new IP Address will be sent to "Sender E-mail Address" through SMTP service. So you won't worry about the difficulty in Camera's Webpage access.

※ As for the settings of SMTP Service, kindly please contact with your E-mail service provider. After you confirm all parameters are correct and working properly, you may enter them into the text area manually.

Port Settings:

• HTTP Port: Re-define the existing HTTP Port number in the text box.
  • RTSP Port: Re-define the existing RTSP Port number in the text box.

Save

: After setups are completed, click "Save" button to apply the settings.

2. DDNS

Network

The "DDNS" tabbed pane allows you to configure the Dynamic Domain Name System of your network device with a host name instead of the IP Address.

DDNS Enable: Enable the check box to support DDNS function.

Host Name: Enter the Host name which you registered and got through DNS Service Provider. The assigned host name is used to access the network device instead of IP Address.

User Name/Password: Account authentication for logging into the website of DNS Service Provider.

Update Time: Define a time interval for the device to periodically update and check its access status with website of DNS Service Provider.

Save

: After setups are completed, click "Save" button to apply the settings.

3. Multicast Tab

Network

The "Multicast" tabbed pane allows you to open Camera's UDP Multicast Streaming function.

By default, Camera's live stream belongs to RTSP Protocol. It means camera has to send an individual streaming for each client wish to see the videos. So the more the client number is, the larger the network bandwidth required and the bigger loading of the camera.

In other words, the camera can send just one streaming and each client can receive the streaming with Multicast Protocol.

Even with the client number increasing, the network bandwidth is still the same loading with one camera.

: After setups are completed, click "Save" button to apply the settings.

2. Video:

Video

The "Video" tabbed pane lets you to perform live adjustments and improvement of the Camera captured video effect relative to the target environment.

- Brightness: The luminance of the captured image apart from its hue or saturation. Try to assign the fit value according to the environment.

- Saturation: The degree of intensity and purity of a specific color. Try to assign the fit value according to the environment.

- Contrast: The brightness ratio of the lightest to the darkest part of the video image. Try to assign the fit value according to the environment.

- Sharpness: Sharpness can be defined as edge contrast. So when we increase sharpness, we increase the contrast only along/near edges. Try to assign the fit value according to the environment.

- Day/Night Threshold Set the illumination lux value (5 \~ 100) to auto-trigger the Camera into “day” or “night” mode relative to luminance of the area under surveillance. When the environment luminance becomes higher than the set lux value, the Camera will auto switch to “day” or “color” mode. Otherwise, it will remain at “night” or “mono” mode.

• ICR: Used for the camera to produce true color images, which avoid the color deviation for the capture images effectively.
• Exposure Mode: There are three options (Auto, Manual, and Clear Motion). When you select Manual mode, you can adjust Sutter speed.
• Pre-Noise Reduction & 2D Noise Reduction: Both of them are one kind of technology to provide clearer video with less noise under poor lighting conditions, making it easier to identify people or objects. Try to set them according to the stream quality.
• Wide Dynamic Range: Enable this function could let camera provide clear images even under backlighting.

- White Balance: Because camera doesn't have ability to automatically adjust different color (temperature) to the environment, six templates are provided to let you choose for different light.
