APPENDIX
A. Frequently Asked Questions
Internet Camera Features
Q: What is an Internet Camera?
A: Internet camera is a standalone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet network and is supported by the wireless transmission based on
the IEEE 802.11g standard. It is different from the conventional PC camera.
Internet camera is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and web-based
solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video
images for monitoring. The camera can be managed remotely, accessed and
controlled from any PC/Notebook over the Intranet or Internet via a web
browser.
Q: How many users are allowed to access this Internet camera simultaneously?
A: Maximum number of users that can log onto the camera at the same time is 10.
Please keep in mind the overall transmission speed will slow down when many
users are logged on because all the users are sharing the same resources.
Q: What algorithm is used to compress the digital image?
A: The camera utilizes the MPEG-4 image compression technology, thus
providing high quality images for users. MPEG-4 is adopted since it is a
standard for image compression and can be applied to various web browsers
and software applications.
Q: Can I change the wireless antenna attached to the camera?
A: The wireless antenna can be changed for a variety of reasons such as
extending the wireless transmission range: however, please consult authorized
distributors in advance as the connectors must be SMA connector type.
Q: What is the wireless transmission range for the camera?
A: Generally, the wireless distance can go as far as 100 meters indoors and up to
300 meters outdoors. The number of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through will limit this distance. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background Radio Frequency (RF)
noise in your home or business and the configuration setting of your network
environment.

Internet Camera Installation
Q: Can the Internet Camera be used outdoors?
A: The camera is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a weatherproof
case to be used outdoors, and it is not recommended.
Q: What network cabling is required for the camera?
A: The camera uses Category 5 UTP cable with RJ-45 connector, which allows 10
Base-T and 100 Base networking.
Q: Can the camera be set up as a PC-cam on the computer?
A: No, the camera is an Internet Camera used only on Ethernet and Fast Ethernet
network and supported by wireless transmission.
Q: Can the camera be connected on the network if it consists of only private IP
addresses?
A: The camera can be connected to LAN with private IP addresses.
Q: Can the camera be installed and work if a firewall exists on the network?
A: If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data
communication. However, since the camera transmits image data, the default
ports 5000, 5001 and 5100 are also required. Therefore, it is necessary to
open ports 5000, 5001 and 5100 of the network for remote users to access the
camera.
B. PING Your IP Address
The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine whether a specific IP
address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for
a reply. It can also provide as a very useful tool to confirm if the IP address
conflicts with the camera over the network.
Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING command. However,
you must disconnect the camera from the network first.
Start a DOS window.
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the camera.
The replies in the following Trouble shooting section will provide useful
explanation to the cause of the problem with the camera IP address.
- 54 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
C. Trouble Shooting
Q: I cannot access the camera from a web browser.
A1: One possible cause might be the IP Address for the camera is already being
used by another device. To correct this problem, you need to first disconnect
the camera from the network. Then run the PING utility (follow the
instructions in Appendix B - PING Your IP Address).
A2: Another possible reason is the IP Address is located on a different subnet. To
fix the problem, run the PING utility (follow the instructions in Appendix B -
PING Your IP Address). If the utility returns “no response” or similar, the
finding is probably correct, then you should proceed as follows:
In Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT, to double check if the IP Address
of the camera is within the same subnet as your workstation, proceed as
follows:
Click Start → Setting → Control Panel → Network. Then, select TCP/IP from
the Network dialog box, and click “Specify an IP address” from the TCP/IP
Properties dialog box. If the camera is situated on a subnet different than
your workstation, you will not be able to set the IP address from this
workstation. To verify, make sure the first 3 sections of the IP address of the
camera corresponds to the first 3 sections of the workstation. Therefore the
IP address of the camera must be set from a workstation on the same subnet.
A3: Another possibility might be problem with the network cable. Try replacing
your network cable. Test the network interface of the product by connecting a
local computer to the unit, utilizing a standard Crossover (hub to hub) Cable.
If the problem is not solved, the camera might be faulty.
Q: Why does the Power LED not light up constantly?
A: The power supply used might be at fault. Confirm that you are using the
provided power supply DC 5V for the camera and verify that the power supply
is well connected.
Q: Why does the Link LED not light up properly?
A1: There might be a problem with the network cable. To confirm that the cables
are working, PING the address of a known device on the network. If the
cabling is OK and your network is reachable, you should receive a reply
similar to the following (…bytes = 32 time = 2 ms).
A2: The network device utilized by the camera is not functioning properly such as
hubs or switches. Confirm the power for the devices are well connected and
functioning.
- 55 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
A3: The wireless connection might be at fault. In ad-hoc mode, make sure the
camera wireless channel and SSID are set to match the PC/Notebook
wireless channel and SSID for direct communication.
Under infrastructure mode, make sure the SSID on the PC/Notebook and the
camera must match with the access point’s SSID.
Q: Why does the camera work locally but not externally?
A1: Might be caused by the firewall protection. Need to check the Internet firewall
with your system administrator.
A2: The default router setting might be a possible reason. Need to double check
if the configuration of the default router settings is required.
Q: Why does a series of broad vertical white line appear throughout the image?
A: A possible cause is that the CMOS sensor becomes overloaded when the light
source is too bright such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen light. You
need to reposition the camera into a more shaded area immediately as this will
damage the CMOS sensor.
Q: The focus on the camera is bad, what should be done?
A1: The focus might not be correctly adjusted for the line of sight. You need to
adjust the camera focus manually as described in Adjust Internet Camera
Focus.
A2: There is no adaptor fitted with your C-type lens. If you have previously
changed the supplied CS-type lens, you may have unintentionally installed a
C-type lens without fitting the adaptor first.
Q: How can I solve the problem of noisy images?
A1: The video images might be noisy if the camera is used is a very low light
environment. To solve this issue you need more lighting.
A2: There might be wireless transmission interference; make sure there are no
other wireless devices on the network that will affect the wireless transmission.
Q: The image quality is poor, how can I improve the image?
A1: A probable cause might be that your desktop’s display properties are
incorrectly configured. You need to open the Display Properties on your
desktop and configure your display to show at least 65’000 colors, for
example at least 16-bit.
- 56 -
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
NOTE: Applying only 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the
image.
A2: The configuration on the camera image display is incorrect. Through the Web
Configuration Image section, you need to adjust the image related parameter
for improving images such as brightness, contrast, hue and light frequency.
Please refer to the Web Configuration section for detail information.
Q: There are no images available through the web browser?
A: The ActiveX might be disabled. If you are viewing the images from Internet
Explorer, make sure ActiveX has been enabled in the Internet Options menu.
Alternatively, you can use the Java Applet for viewing the required images.

Communication
Connection
Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message, and medium. In networks,
devices and application tasks and processes communicate messages to each other over media.
They represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the message. The cabling or
transmission method they use is the medium.
In networking, two devices establish a connection to communicate with each other.
D
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol was developed by Microsoft a protocol for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP
address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and
dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the task for network administrators because the software
keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means
a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique
IP address. DHCP allows the specification for the service provided by a router, gateway, or other
network device that automatically assigns an IP address to any device that requests one
DNS
Domain Name System is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Since
domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based
on IP addresses every time you use a domain name the DNS will translate the name into the

E
Enterprise network
An enterprise network consists of collections of networks connected to each other over a
geographically dispersed area. The enterprise network serves the needs of a widely distributed
company and operates the company’s mission-critical applications.
Ethernet
The most popular LAN communication technology. There are a variety of types of Ethernet,
including 10 Mbps (traditional Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit
Ethernet). Most Ethernet networks use Category 5 cabling to carry information, in the form of
electrical signals, between devices. Ethernet is an implementation of CSMA/CD that operates in a
bus or star topology.
F

Fast Ethernet, also called 100BASE-T, operates at 10 or 100Mbps per second over UTP, STP, or
fiber-optic media.
Firewall
Firewall is considered the first line of defense in protecting private information. For better
security, data can be encrypted. A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a
private network. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from
accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially Intranets all messages entering or
leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those
that do not meet the specified security criteria.
G

HEX
Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number system, which consists of 16 unique symbols:
the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F
in the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is useful because it can represent
every byte (8 bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier for humans to read
hexadecimal numbers than binary numbers.

Intranet
This is a private network inside an organization or company, which uses the same software you
will find on the public Internet. The only difference is that an Intranet is used for internal usage
only.
Internet
Internet address
IP
The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that are logically connected based on the
Internet Protocol (IP). The Internet provides different ways to access private and public
information worldwide.
To participate in Internet communications and on Internet Protocol-based networks, a node must
have an Internet address that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet addresses are IP
addresses
Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of the basic unit of information on the
Internet (the packet) and also details the numerical addressing format used to route the
information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address of any device it connects to
the Internet. The IP addresses in your network must conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller
LANs, most people will allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway to assign the IP
addresses on internal networks.
IP address
ISP
IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that
is sent in packets across the Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address; it is the closet
thing the Internet has to telephone numbers. When you “call” that number, using any connection
methods, you get connected to the computer that “owns” that IP address.
Internet Service Provider is a company that maintains a network that is linked to the Internet by
way of a dedicated communication line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated communication
lines to companies or individuals who can’t afford the high monthly cost for a direct connection.
J
JAVA
Java is a programming language that is specially designed for writing programs that can be safely
downloaded to your computer through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an object-
oriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and applications for the Internet,
Intranet and other complex, distributed network.
L
LAN
Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively small area sharing common
resources. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings.
N
NAT
Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, making many different IP addresses
on an internal network appear to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages properly
within your network, each device requires a unique IP address. But the addresses may not be
valid outside your network. NAT solves the problem. When devices within your network request

information from the Internet, the requests are forwarded to the Internet under the router's IP
address. NAT distributes the responses to the proper IP addresses within your network.
Network
A network consists of a collection of two or more devices, people, or components that
communicate with each other over physical or virtual media. The most common types of
network are:
LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close distance to one another. They are usually in
the same office space, room, or building.
WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different geographic locations and are
connected by telephone lines or radio waves.
NWay Protocol
A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission speed
between two devices.
P
PING
Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It
functions by sending a packet to the specified address and waits for a reply. It is primarily used to
troubleshoot Internet connections.
PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an
Ethernet to the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as DSL or cable modem. All
the users over the Ethernet share a common connection.
Protocol
Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules called protocols. Protocols provide
the guidelines devices use to communicate with each other, and thus they have different
functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and presenting and presenting data that
will be transferred from file server memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are
responsible for filtering information between networks and forwarding data to its destination.
Still other protocols dictate how data is transferred across the medium, and how servers respond
to workstation requests and vice versa. Common network protocols responsible for the
presentation and formatting of data for a network operating system are the Internetwork Packet
Exchange (IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate the format of data for
transferors the medium include token-passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD),implemented as token-ring, ARCNET, FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router
Information Protocol (RIP), a part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the same network protocol.
R

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a widely used transport protocol that connects
diverse computers of various transmission methods. It was developed y the Department of
Defense to connect different computer types and led to the development of the Internet.
Transceiver
A transceiver joins two network segments together. Transceivers can also be used to join a
segment that uses one medium to a segment that uses a different medium. On a 10BASE-5
network, the transceiver connects the network adapter or other network device to the medium.
Transceivers also can be used on 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach devices with AUI
ports.
