Authentication

To access the camera's live view, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the camera. A dialog window will pop requesting a username and password. As stated on the previous page, for the default username and password for the Administrator are assigned as "admin/admin". For accounts other than the administrator's account, the user can choose to remember the password for future convenience. It is not recommended to check this box when viewing the camera feed from a public computer.

Installing the Plug-In

For the initial access to the camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt the administrator for permission to install a new plug-in for on Internet Explorer. Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user's PC or notebook. If the highest security level is set, the computer may prohibit any installation and execution attempt. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to display the video in the browser. Click on ____ to proceed. If the web browser does not allow

the administrator to continue the installation, check the Internet security option and lower the security levels or contact the networking supervisor or IT for help.

NOTE – If an error occurred or the plug-in fails to install, it is because the version of the Electronic Signature is newly released and the VeriSign has not been submitted to Microsoft Windows update for validation. Therefore, plug-in will not have its root certificate. If IE discovers that there is no root certificate after the user’s PC connects to the camera, it will automatically redirect to VeriSign Web site to download and install the latest root certificate to make the installation successfully. If the user’s computer is able to connect to camera but unable to access the internet, then the installation will fail because the computer will not be able to download the latest root certificate. This problem can be resolved if computer can be connect to the internet and the camera at the same time and will not recur when Windows update patches become available.

Live View

NOTE - (*) These are optional features. Please refer to the Product List for the full list of optional features available for the product.

Live View is the default page that opens when accessing the camera. Live video is displayed directly in the browser window.

- Stream 1\~3 Channels

The network camera offers simultaneous several streams for optimized quality and bandwidth. Go to Configuration → Camera/Video/Audio → Video to configure the codec compression and video resolution or refer to the Video configuration page.

- HTTP/TCP/UDP protocol

HTTP – This unicast method can be used to traverse firewalls. Firewalls are commonly configured to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be tunneled.

TCP - This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and provides better video quality. The downside of using this protocol is that the quality of its real-time effect is less than that of the UDP protocol.

UDP - This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken.

Activate UDP connection time-sensitive responses are more important than video quality.

Wireless(*)

Brickcom

These settings control how a Network Camera interacts with a wireless network. Users can identify the wireless network and enable wireless encryption.

NOTE – This function is only available for Wireless models.

Basic Settings

Network Name (SSID) - The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name used to identify the wireless signal. It is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long. Wireless devices have a default SSID set by the factory. Brickcom wireless products use Brickcom as the default name. It is recommended for users to rename the SSID to something unique in order to distinguish their wireless device from surrounding wireless networks.

NOTE - Be careful when including personal information when naming the SSID as it is able by anyone browsing for wireless networks.

Brickcom

Security - Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication. A network encrypted with

WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP because WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes through the airwaves, it is recommended to enable the highest level of encryption supported by the network equipment.

Site Survey – Survey the local area for available wireless networks. The user should select their Local Area Network (LAN) from the Site Survey List.

WEP- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a basic encryption method which transmits network broadcast messages using radio signals. It is not as secure as WPA.

Tx Key - Select a key from the drop-down menu.

WEP Encryption - Select a level of WEP encryption: 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. The default is 64 bits 10 hex digits.

Key 1-4 - Enter the WEP key(s) manually.

Authentication - The default is set to Open System, which allows either Shared Key or Auto authentication to be used. With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. With Auto authentication, the sender and the recipient do not use a WEP key for authentication.

WPA-Personal - WiFi Protected Access (WPA)-Personal

Encryption - Supports two encryption methods with dynamic encryption keys: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Select the algorithm type from the drop down menu: TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP.

Shared Key - Enter the key shared between the Router and the server keys. Enter a password of 8-63 characters.

Click Apply to apply settings or Cancel to cancel changes.

WPA2-Persona I - WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-Personal)

Encryption - WPA2 supports AES encryption method with dynamic encryption keys.

Shared Key - Enter the key shared between the Router and the server keys. Enter a password of 8-63 characters.

NOTE - If using WPA or WPA2, each device in the wireless network must use the same

WPA or WPA2 method and shared key or else the network will not function properly.
