Can I view the camera remotely over the internet?

Yes. Set up port forwarding on your router (e.g., HTTP 80, RTSP 554, server port 8000) and configure DDNS if you have a dynamic IP. Refer to the manual sections 2.2 and 5.3.4.

What is the default username and password?

Default username is admin and password is 12345. Change it immediately for security.

How do I enable PTZ control for the fisheye camera?

In the live view page, click the PTZ control panel (arrow icon). You can pan, tilt, zoom, set presets, and patrol paths. Up to 128 presets can be configured.

Does the camera support motion detection recording?

Yes. Go to Configuration > Events > Motion Detection, draw detection areas, set arming schedule, and link it to recording (trigger channel) in the same menu.

How can I receive email alerts when motion is detected?

Configure SMTP settings under Network > Email. Then in Motion Detection settings, check 'Send Email' as a linkage method. Make sure DNS is set correctly.

What is the maximum SD card capacity supported?

The camera supports microSD cards up to 128GB (optional). For larger storage, use NAS (up to 8 network drives).

How do I change the fisheye view mode?

Notes:

For cameras that support IR, you are required to pay attention to the following precautions to prevent IR reflection:

Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
■ Make certain the installation location does not have reflective surfaces of objects too close to the camera. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into the lens causing reflection.
The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of the bubble to isolate the lens from the IR LEDs. Fasten the dome cover to camera body so that the foam ring and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.

Network Connection 2

Before you start:

If you want to set the network camera via a LAN (Local Area Network), please refer to Section 2.1 Setting the Network Camera over the LAN.
If you want to set the network camera via a WAN (Wide Area Network), please refer to Section 2.2 Setting the Network Camera over the WAN.

Setting the Network Camera over the LAN 2.1

Purpose:

To view and configure the camera via a LAN, you need to connect the network camera in the same subnet with your computer, and install the 3xLOGIC VISIX detection software. This will allow you to search and change the IP address of the detected network cameras.

Note: For the detailed introduction of the 3xLOGIC VISIX camera detection software, please refer to this link: Wiring over the LAN

The following figures show the two ways of cable connection of a network camera and a computer:

Purpose:

To test the network camera, you can directly connect the network camera to the computer with a network cable as shown in Figure 2-1.
Refer to the Figure 2-2 to set network camera over the LAN via a switch or a router.

Connecting via a Switch or a Router

DETECTING AND CHANGING THE IP ADDRESS

You need the camera IP address to connect to the network camera.

Steps:

1) To get the IP address, the 3xLOGIC VISIX setup utility, a software tool which can automatically detect the online network cameras in the LAN and list the device information including IP address, subnet mask, port number, device serial number, device version, etc., shown in Figure 2-3.
2) Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as that of your computer.
3) Enter the IP address of network camera in the address field of the web browser to view the live video.

Notes:

The default IP address is 192.0.0.64 and the port number is 8000. The default user name is admin, and password is 12345.
For accessing the network camera from different subnets, please set the gateway for the network camera after you logged in. For detailed information, please refer to Section 5.3.1 Configuring TCP/IP Settings.

3xLOGIC VISIX detection utility

Setting the Network Camera over the WAN 2.2

Purpose:

This section explains how to connect the network camera to the WAN with a static IP or a dynamic IP.

STATIC IP CONNECTION

Before you start:

Please apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP address, you can connect the network camera via a router or connect it to the WAN directly.

■ Connecting the network camera via a router

Steps:

1) Connect the network camera to the router.
2) Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed IP address configuration of the camera.
3) Save the static IP in the router.
4) Set port mapping, e.g., 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary according to the different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5) Visit the network camera through a web browser or the client software over the internet.

    A["Camera"] -->|or| B["Monitor"]
    B -->|Network cable| C["Router with Static IP"]
    C -->|Network cable| D["Internet"]
    D -->|Network cable| E["Computer"]

■ Connecting the network camera with static IP directly

You can also save the static IP in the camera and directly connect it to the internet without using a router. Refer to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed IP address configuration of the camera.

    A["Camera"] -->|or| B["Static IP"]
    B -->|-Network cable-| C["Internet"]
    C -->|-Network cable-| D["Computer"]

DYNAMIC IP CONNECTION

Before you start:

Please apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect the network camera to a modem or a router.

1) Connecting the network camera via a router

Steps:

1) Connect the network camera to the router.
2) In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed LAN configuration.
3) In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4) Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5) Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6) Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7) Visit the camera via the applied domain name.

CONNECTING THE NETWORK CAMERA VIA A MODEM

Purpose:

This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera. Refer to Section 5.3.3 Configuring PPPoE Settings for detailed configuration.

    style E fill:#cff,stroke:#333

Note: The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always changes after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you need to get a domain name from the DDNS provider (E.g. DynDns.com). Please follow the steps below for normal domain name resolution and private domain name resolution to solve the problem.

Steps:

1) Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
2) Configure the DDNS settings in the DDNS Settings interface of the network camera. Refer to Section 5.3.4 Configuring DDNS Settings for detailed configuration.
3) Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
