NetworKam provides a very flexible general I/O interface to combine with the user’s security devices
such as sensors, alarms, lighting or door locks. The general I/O terminal block has six pins for device
control. These pins can be divided into two categories based on their functions, including RS485 and
digital inputs and outputs.
If the device connected to COM has an RS485 interface, wire two control lines to pin 5 and pin 6. After
switching to RS485 on the configuration page, the PT control commands will be directed through pin 5
and pin 6. If the distance from the controlled device is too far to allow accurate function, an external
power source may be used to pull high the RS485 signal.
NetworKam provides one digital input and one relay switch. Pin 1 and pin 2 can be connected to external
sensor and the state of voltage will be monitored according to the programmed scripts in configuration.
The relay switch can be used to turn on or off external devices.

Status LEDs
Each time NetworKam starts, it will perform a Power-On Self Test, abbreviated as POST hereafter, to
examine every hardware module. As soon as the administrator plugs in the power adapter, both LEDs
under the network LED will flash one by one until the POST is done. If any module fails, both LEDs will
indicate to the users the error according to the pattern listed in Appendix A. If the result is good, both
LEDs will turn off for a while and then follows the pattern below. Network interface depends on the
peripherals including Ethernet UTP cable, modem or null modem cable. If the Ethernet cable between
NetworKam and Ethernet hub is good, NetworKam will choose the Ethernet network. If Ethernet is
unavailable but a operational modem is connected, the network interface will be PPP with modem. If
either of the above is not the case, NetworKam will try the interface of PPP with null modem.

Restore button
There is a button hidden in the box for restoring the system factory default settings. When the system fails
to install or operates abnormally, use the included assistant stick in the package and follow the following
procedures to reset the system back to its original status.
Poke the assistant stick into the hole to press down on the restore button. Restart the system by
unplugging and re-plugging the power jack. While keeping the button pressed, the system will perform
POST twice rather than the usual once, which can be observed from the flashing LEDs. After the system
flashes the LEDs for the second time, withdraw the stick to release the button. The system will have
restored factory default settings at that moment.
Power adapter
Connect the power jack of the included power adapter. Connecting the power adapter should be the last
operation while physically installing NetworKam.

How to Install
To easily fit into various environments, NetworKam automatically detects the attached interfaces and
configures itself to the best condition. Therefore users need not care how to select the network between
Ethernet and modem, and whether the Ethernet speed is 10Mbps or 100 Mbps. The high performance
built-in CCD and lens always give users delicate image quality.
NetworKam supports Ethernet and modem interfaces according to the user's existing network. Ethernet
can provide higher bandwidth to achieve the best performance while dial-up network with modem is more
common in current Internet applications. Refer to the related installation section for your network
environment. If both interfaces are available, Ethernet is recommended and will be chosen as the first
priority if Ethernet cable and modem are concurrently attached. Managing to install in the other interface
will automatically clear the previous network settings to start new installation.
In the following content, "user" refers to those who can access NetworKam and "administrator" means the
supervisor who has the root password to configure NetworKam in addition to general access.
Administrators should carefully read this manual, especially during installation.

Ethernet Environment
Hardware installation
Before installing multiple NetworKams at the well-chosen locations, the administrator should memorize
the serial numbers on the packages respectively for future use.
Cable connection
Shut down all the peripheral devices prior to connection. Connect the supplied cables from NetworKam to
related devices according to the following steps. Note that the power adaptor must be kept unplugged
until other cables are firmly connected.

Power on
Make sure all cables are correctly and firmly connected before turning on NetworKam. Turn on cameras,
sensors, alarm devices, and then attach the power adaptor of NetworKam to the electric power socket*.
After the POST (power-on self test) is complete and the result is successful, NetworKam is ready for
software configuration as described in this manual. At this stage, network speed and video modulation
type are automatically detected. If the detection of video modulation fails, administrators may change the
setting on the configuration page. Refer to the configuration section for further information.
Connect the power jack of the power adapter to NetworKam prior to plugging the utility end into the
utility power socket. It will reduce accidental electric surge shock.

Software configuration
Easy way with installer program
In order to configure NetworKams remotely, administrators should keep the serial numbers of the new
NetworKams for identification and initial passwords. After successfully mounting NetworKams in the
proper position, run the Installer program on the appropriate PC to locate the newly installed
NetworKams. NetworKams also support manual setup procedures to non-Windows based environments.
The manual procedure is described next.
After the POST is done, NetworKam will try to configure itself by detecting the network environment. If
there is DHCP service over the network, the Installer program will catch the given information and
display the serial number and given IP address for each NetworKam as following figure. If no DHCP
service is available, a previous IP address will be displayed instead. In that case, it may be 0.0.0.0 for a
brand new unit. When multiple units are mounted, there may be several entries shown in the window.
Administrators may click on each entry with "Assigned" field labeled "No" to install sequentially.

The IP address shown in "Current IP Address" field is for the administrator's reference. If the
administrator wants to use another IP address, modify the IP text field below the list window.
If the administrator wants to fix the IP address of the unit, check the option "Use this IP whenever system
boots" to skip future installation procedures. Otherwise the unit will need installation whenever it is
restarted.

While checking “Use this IP whenever system boots”, a dialog window may pop out to ask for “Server
FTP Port” and “Root Password” because they are already changed to other than default settings. If the
settings are lost, restore default settings and use installer to install again.
Once installation is complete, administrators should follow the actions in the "First access to
VisualServer" section for necessary checks and configurations. Experienced administrators may use the
customized config.ini script file to perform a quick setup via FTP. Detailed procedure can be found on the
section “One-shot fast configuration via FTP”.
To allow users to connect to NetworKam through an easily memorized name, the administrators must first
configure the name server in his network. Here is an example: When the administrator wants to set up
NetworKam with a fixed IP address and let users connect to NetworKam by typing a name instead of IP
address, the administrator may reserve the IP from DHCP service and assign it with name in the domain
name service. During NetworKam installation, assign the ready IP address. After successful installation,
users may access the NetworKam by the given name.

Manual way with existing programs
For those environments such as MAC, Linux, Unix or other operating systems, whose installer is not yet
available, some common network tools including ARP and PING can be used to install NetworKam.
Make sure ARP and PING programs exist in your operating system.
First, type arp –s “assigned IP address” “Ethernet address” to add an entity in the system’s name table.
The Ethernet address is identical to the serial number of NetworKam and should be typed in the
appropriate format like “uu-vv-ww-xx-yy-zz” or “uu:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz”, which depends on the operating
system.
Once a name entity is added, type ping "assigned IP address” to invite the new NetworKam. If it replies,
that means NetworKam has accepted the assigned IP address and is ready for access. The first several
ping requests may fail during the self-configuration period of NetworKam. Since the accurate grammar of
ARP and PING depends on the operating system, refer to its related help manual.

First access to NetworKam
When connecting to NetworKam for the first time, administrators should check security and network
settings on the configuration page. For complete protection from illegal usage, NetworKam provides two
privileges and always needs user name and password before access. The standard level is the USER mode
that consists of twenty user profiles. Each user is able to access NetworKam except for system
configuration. The twenty user profiles are also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is
ROOT mode that only opens to administrators for initial setup, system configuration, user administration
and software upgrade. The user name of the administrator is internally assigned to “root”.
When connecting to NetworKam, users will be requested for user name and password by an
authentication message window. A root password, identical to the NetworKam's serial number, is needed
for the initial access to a newly installed NetworKam. The administrator must change the root password
immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root password should be well
memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After changing the password, the browser will
display an authentication window again to ask for the new password.
The other important part is network settings. The software configuration above makes NetworKam easily
accessed through local networks. However administrators should review the network settings on the
configuration page according to the existing service. The safe and easy way is to compare the network
settings with another PC or workstation in the same network.
The software installation in the previous section only set the host IP address and default subnet mask as
255.255.255.0. Administrators should change the subnet mask if it differs from the one provided by server.
Administrators should also fill in the default gateway, primary and secondary domain name servers if
necessary.
By default NetworKam will need administrator's installation every time it reboots. If the network settings
are sure to work all the time, disable the install option if this IP address is already reserved for this
NetworKam. Clearing this option will skip the installation procedure during the next power-up and use

the previous settings. If the install option stays checked, NetworKam will perform the installation
procedure every time the system boots up.
Details about configurations are described in the "How to Use" section. Related figures are attached for
easy reference.

Modem Environment
Hardware installation
Before installing NetworKam, the administrator should memorize the serial numbers on the packages
respectively for the initial passwords.
To use a dial-up network, the Ethernet socket should be left disconnected since Ethernet is the first
priority among available interfaces. After powering up, NetworKam will detect if any external modem is
connected to the modem port. Once a modem is detected, the heartbeat LED will flash periodically. If no
modem responds, NetworKam will assume the included null modem cable is connected to perform
system configuration. Then both lower LEDs will turn on until null modem connection is established.
If users have setup a remote dialup server or subscribed to an ISP service, NetworKam can be configured
to dial to the server upon special events. Otherwise it will wait permanently for the user’s call to establish
a network connection to provide services.
In the following content, dial-in connection denotes a passive NetworKam waiting for a phone call to
establish a point-to-point connection. Dial-out connection denotes an active NetworKam to dial out to the
other end of a dial-up server or any Internet service provider, abbreviated as ISP, to request a
point-to-point connection.

Cable connection
Shut down the peripheral devices prior to connection. Connect the supplied cables from NetworKam to
the related devices according to following steps. Note that power adaptor must be kept unplugged until
other cables are firmly connected. For the first access to NetworKam without Ethernet, administrators
may use the included null modem cable to connect to COM for direct connection. It is also convenient for
administrators to access NetworKam through the null modem cable directly without modem or Ethernet
card. After necessary information is entered, a modem can be used to dial into the Internet.
Power on
Make sure all cables are correctly and firmly connected. Turn on cameras, sensors, alarm devices, and
then finally attach power adaptor of NetworKam to the electric power outlet*. Since most automatic
detections of hardware perform when the system starts, NetworKam should be turned on after all
peripherals are turned on and ready.
Connect the power jack of the power adapter to NetworKam prior to plugging the utility end into a
utility power outlet. It will reduce accidental electric surge shock.

First access to NetworKam
Through direct connection by null modem cable administrators can open the default web browser and
type in 200.1.1.1 as the address and press enter. Note that 200.1.1.1 will be the default IP address in a
dial-in connection and 200.1.1.100 will be the given IP address for the user's PC by NetworKam. The user
name and password are the same as what was entered during installation.
After successful authentication, administrators should see the motion pictures in the main page. When
using Microsoft Internet Explorer, administrators should allow a plug-in provided by NetworKam to
install additionally. For best security, administrators must change the password on the system page of
configuration immediately. After changing the password, the browser will display the authentication
window again to ask for new password. Note that the new password will also be used in the next dialup.
To make NetworKam successfully work in dial-in and dial-out modes, follow the procedures below for

basic configurations. If people other than the administrator will be allowed to use NetworKam, the
administrator should add these user profiles in the Security option. When NetworKam accepts dial-in
connection and acts as a server, the user name and password used in dialing are the same as what was
stored in the user database managed for web access. Any managed user can be authorized during PPP
negotiation and access web pages. However only administrators can access the configuration page.
There is more information needed for correct modem operation. Refer to the modem setting section in
configuration for further settings. NetworKam will wait for someone to dial in. If the administrator has
setup some conditions in the application, NetworKam will automatically dial out based on the
administrator's configuration. Refer to the application section in configuration for special security
applications. After everything is set and saved, turn off NetworKam and replace the null modem cable
with modem for dial-up network. Since the null modem connection is used to configure NetworKam in
advance for modem connection, administrators cannot connect again without restarting the system.
If dial-out configuration is activated, NetworKam will dial out to send a system startup log to test and
drop the call after the pre-configured period.

How to Use
NetworKam is a well-designed stand-alone network camera. With the built-in web server, authorized
users may use web browser Internet Explorer to watch the video and hear the audio captured by
NetworKam. The powerful video compression processes up to 30 frames per second and makes the scene
in your browser as real-time display. The powerful audio compression processes the real-time audio and
makes the synchronization of video and audio correctly. Also benefit from web interface, each function
and each configuration has its specific URL that allows advanced users easily integrate them into existing
software program.
The preparation of the primary users to utilize NetworKam is quite simple since administrators have done
the majority of the installation. Most administrators find the installation is easy in general environments
because most settings are automatically configured. Open your web browser and connect to NetworKam
just like a general web site and the audio and video will present on demand. Make sure the web address of
the target NetworKam is accurate.

Client Setting
If it is the first access to “Client Setting” page in Windows, the web browser will ask to install a new
plug-in that is provided by NetworKam. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to
setting the client parameters in the browser. Users may click on
to install the plug-in. If the web
browser does not allow the user to install, check the Internet security option to lower security levels or
contact network supervisors.
There are two settings for the client side. One is “Media Option”. You can mute the audio by checking
this option. The other is “Protocol Option”. You can choose the connection protocol between client and
server by this option. There are three protocols - UDP, TCP and HTTP. When you choose UDP protocol,
audio and video streams can be more real-time. But some packets may be lost and decoding error will
happen. If you select TCP protocol, packet loss isn’t occurred and decoder will run normally. But the

real-time issue is worse than UDP protocol. If your environment is behind the firewall and it opens HTTP
port (80) only, you can select HTTP protocol only. In this mode, audio will not be sent and you just can
see the video only. If you don’t know which protocol you should choose, select the UDP protocol and the
client will try these protocols in this order, UDP → TCP → HTTP. After the client connects to the
NetworKam successfully, “Protocol Option” will be set as the working protocol automatically.
<NetworKam> is the domain name or original IP address of NetworKam.
When using modem as the network connection, NetworKam will not send the audio automatically,
and send video only because the low bandwidth environment doesn’t meet the requirement for both. In
the Client setting page, protocol option will be set as Http protocol.

To change the system name, type in the text box after "Host Name". This name will be displayed at the
top of the main page. In the case that only the host name is changed, without adjusting date and time of
NetworKam, click on "Keep current date and time".
There are three ways to adjust system date and time. The easiest is to make NetworKam "sync with
computer time". The second is to set the date and time manually. Notice the format in the related field
while typing. The third is to make NetworKam automatically synchronize with timeservers over the
Internet whenever NetworKam starts up. It may fail if the assigned NTP server cannot be reached or it is
within a local network. Leaving the NTP server blank will let NetworKam connect to default timeservers.
If some specific timeserver is assigned, type it in the text box. Domain name or IP address format is
acceptable as long as DNS server is available. Do not forget to set the "Time Zone" offset for local

To eliminate incautious mistakes during installation, NetworKam will stay in installation mode whenever
it starts unless "Reset network at next boot" is disabled. This option can also be disabled using the
Installer program. Once the option is disabled, NetworKam will skip installation at the next boot and the
Installer program will not find the installed units. That implies that NetworKam cannot be accessed if no
one remembers the IP address, except by restoring factory default settings. However, with this option
disabled NetworKam can automatically operate normally after restarting in case of losing power. This
option is ignored in the PPP connection.
Administrators may modify the network settings to fit into existing networks. Some broadband service

subnet mask may differ from the default value 255.255.255.0 and service providers may assign some
specific network settings. Administrators should change the configuration according to what is given by
the service provider. The configuration may include "IP address", "Subnet Mask", "Default Router",
"Primary DNS" and "Secondary DNS". After changing network settings, be sure to leave "Reset
network at next boot" blank to skip installation when the system restarts. Otherwise the settings will be
erased.
NetworKam not only plays the role of server, it will also actively connect to servers outside to send out
messages or snapshots. When NetworKam starts, it will send out a system log to notify administrators.
Even in modem application, NetworKam will send out a connection log whenever it dials out to an ISP or
dialup server outside. If the administrator has setup some applications in either event mode or sequential
mode, NetworKam will send out snapshots once conditions are met. There are two methods to send files,
including e-mail and FTP. To ensure NetworKam sends out files correctly, the administrator should set
valid "SMTP (mail) Server" and "Recipient Email Address" as well as "Primary FTP Server",
"Primary FTP Server", "Primary FTP User Name" and "Primary FTP Password". “Return email
address” is whom the mail will return when the SMTP server rejects upon any failure. Some ISP may
reject the mail if the address is invalid. "Primary FTP remote folder" is the relative sub-folder in the
remote FTP server.
In both methods, a "Secondary" server can be provided for backup connection. However the primary
server information should be entered first. If the primary server is not set, the related FTP or email will be
deactivated. Note that it may take time to connect to the secondary server after the first one fails and it
may affect some applications when conditions happen too often.
For security or network integration, administrators also can hide the server from the general HTTP port by
changing "HTTP Port" to other than 80 and known port numbers such as 21 and 23. These ports of
“Control Channel Port”, “Audio Channel Port” and “Video Channel Port” which are used in media
transmission can also be changed. Administrators should have enough acknowledge before changing the
default port.

"Size" option allows users to adjust the image size taking into consideration bandwidth and visual effect.
Three options are available including half, half×2 and normal. Half×2 consumes the same bandwidth as
half but is the same size as normal. Of course the image is not as good as normal. Half×2 is especially
suited to low bandwidth environments like a dial-up network.

IP3111/IP3121 uses MPEG4 codec compression for best streaming solution. The compressed video data
is far less than JPEG in normal cases but it still depends on the level of difference between every two
sequential images. There are three dependent parameters provided for adjustment. "Maximum Frame
Rate" limits the maximal refresh frame rate that can be combined with the "Video Quality Control" to
optimize the bandwidth utilization and video quality. If users want to fix the bandwidth utilization
regardless of the video quality, choose "Fix Bit Rate" and select the desired bandwidth. The video quality
may be poor in order to send maximal frames within the limited bandwidth when images change
drastically. Consequently to ensure the video quantization rate regardless of the bandwidth, it will utilize
more bandwidth to send the maximal frames when images change drastically.
The option "Enable Motion Detection" will control the event of motion detection on the application page.
If this option is enabled, the preset windows framed by red lines will appear in the video window even if
no option is checked on the application page. If this option is disabled, then any settings related to motion
detection will have no effect. Motion detection will increase system load. Enter the motion detection
option page for advanced configuration.

Camera positioning device configuration
Since NetworKam can be used in either PPP network or Ethernet network, the single serial port can
control either external serial port devices like camera positioning devices or a data modem. While in PPP
interface, go to Modem page for modem configuration. Options on this page will be ignored.
To control the external PT positioning device, “Enable camera control” must be checked and the control
panel or buttons will thus display on the main page. NetworKam supports RS232 and RS485 interface to
control external serial port devices. Refer to the hardware description to connect an RS485 device. The
“Port Settings” and “Control Settings” must be configured according to the instruction manual of the
external serial port device. The "Baud rate (bps)" of the serial port is up to 115200 bps.
The commands in "Control settings" should be edited in ASCII format. NetworKam will interpret the
ASCII format command to binary string. For instance, “012000ABCD” will be sent out of the COM port

as five hexadecimal bytes of 01, 20, 00, AB and CD. If the command string is composed of two or more
commands, a comma ‘,’ should be inserted to separate each command. Each comma represents 200
milliseconds. For instance, a command to pan left may be “01000305” and a command to stop panning
may be “01000300”. The user may edit the applicable command as “01000305,01000300” in the “Move
Left” field. This means the camera will pan left for 200 milliseconds. The maximal length of a command
string is 60 which is equivalent to 30 hexadecimal bytes. When everything is set, click on
the commands and click on to close the command setting window.

Modem and dialup settings
In PPP interface, a modem option will work instead of camera control. Configurations include modem
initialization and outside dial-up server. If the users will setup with external sensors and alarms for
property security, dial-out is needed to send some snapshot-attached e-mails when the preset conditions
are triggered. In such applications, also remember to choose Network option to enter mail server address
and recipient's e-mail address. If "Dialout allowed" is not checked, NetworKam will not send out any
snapshots when events occur and the settings except for "Initial modem command" in this page will
have no effect. The system will preset the attached modem to eliminate echo and mute line sound. To
initialize the modem with further commands, type into the edit box. The prefix "AT" should be included.
Administrators should choose an appropriate "Dial Method" according to the local POTS environment.
An incorrect dialing prefix may cause NetworKam to fail when dialing out. "Redial attempts" means
how many times NetworKam should try to connect to each ISP. Setting the value in "Disconnect after

minutes" will force NetworKam to drop the connection when there is no activity on the connection for
the specific period. The range of this period is from 1 to 240 minutes, with 0 indicating a continuous
connection. Administrators may let NetworKam keep the connection for a while to allow connections
from outside. The IP address given by the ISP can be taken from the connection log that is mailed or
uploaded when dial-up connection is successful. Setting the value to zero will make NetworKam always
keep the connection.
Based on the settings of DI/DO in the application, the system will send mail or upload via FTP with
image attachment upon the event occurring. In that case NetworKam will need a network connection and
automatically dial out to the pre-configured server outside. When a connection is successfully established,
NetworKam will send out a connection log to notify given network settings. For those installations that
may switch the network interface between Ethernet and PPP, administrators should notice that the settings
of FTP or SMTP servers might be different from what is in an Ethernet environment. If the network
interface is changed, administrators may need to configure them in advance.
NetworKam will try the second ISP as a backup when the first ISP fails and exceeds the redial attempts.
"ISP phone number" should be the complete phone number including country code and area code if
necessary. "Login username" and "Login password" are used to pass the PPP negotiation requested by
the ISP server. Note that the pair of login name and password is dependent on the ISP and is different
from what is used in the authentication process in web access.
When using modem as the network connection, NetworKam will mute the audio automatically, and
send video only because the low bandwidth environment doesn’t meet the requirement for both. In the
Client setting page, protocol option will be set as Http protocol.

Application
Administrators can use combinations of options on the application page to perform many useful security
applications. The sending method is selected at the bottom of the page. Both e-mail and FTP use the
network settings on the network page. To use FTP to upload snapshots, a timestamp file name can help
administrators identify the event. If "FTP put snapshot with date and time suffix" is disabled, the
up-to-date snapshot will overwrite the file.
There are two application methods to upload snapshots. "Sequential operation" will send out snapshots
continuously over a configured period. This mode can be used to integrate with another web server to
serve overloaded requests. If the date and time suffix option is disabled, NetworKam can use FTP to
upload and overwrite snapshot files periodically. The remote folder of snapshot files for FTP can be
configured on the network page. The snapshot period is between "Snapshot begin" and "Snapshot end"
and it will repeat everyday. The snapshot interval is set in "Snapshot every seconds".

The other "Event operation" can be used to combine motion detection with devices attached to digital
input, to drive devices attached to digital output, or send out snapshots for evidence. It helps users
establish an easy security system. Administrators may choose any combination of conditions to form
special applications according to their personal needs. NetworKam will continuously monitor the channel
and digital input every half second. Once the user-defined conditions are matched, NetworKams will
capture three stages of events and react based on the "Trigger action" settings. The post-event snapshot
can be configured to be delayed after events happen according to the setting in "Take snapshot at
seconds after event". The three stages of snapshots will be VPRE.JPG, VTRG.JPG and VPOS.JPG. Since
the same event may exist for a while, administrators can set delay time in "Delay seconds before
detecting next event" to reduce multiple triggers by the same event.
There are two kinds of "Trigger condition". For digital input there are four options provided to combine
with the user's device. Rising and falling will make events happen once. For motion detection, there are
window names shown below as choices. Refer to the previous section for configuring motion detection.
Note that larger object size and lower sensitivity will make it more difficult for NetworKam to detect
varied images. Once the "Trigger condition" is matched, NetworKam will drive the digital output device
and/or upload snapshots based on the "Trigger action" settings. The application settings should be
carefully examined to operate accurately. If administrators are not sure of the digital output status before
configuring applications, "Reset output" can be used to return the digital output to the default “Normal
Close” state.

Homepage layout settings
Administrators may give NetworKam a different presence of homepage. The "logo graph" for the system
logo in the upper-left corner can be hidden; or the default image from the system memory can be used; or
an external resource can be used by assigning a URL. "background graph" is similar. Default images
from system memory are quick to get but limited by memory size. Images from external resources can be
larger and more beautiful but will need more time to load. If the background is skipped, the background
color will fill the browser window. Administrators also can give the system logo a "logo link" to refer to
another web site. The "font color" and "background color" can be chosen from sixteen colors to achieve
the best visual effect.

One-shot fast configuration via FTP
For quick setup of NetworKam, the administrator can utilize the default CONFIG.INI that may be
downloaded from the FTP daemon of NetworKam. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the user
name and the same password used when connecting to the Web server. The serial number of NetworKam
is the password for the initial access.
Then administrators only need to modify necessary fields and then upload the file to NetworKam with the
file name “CONFIG.INI”. To reduce error in interpretation, it is recommended that the downloaded
template CONFIG.INI be modified using the options following each item in the sample below. The file
will include seven categories: [SYSTEM], [NETWORK], [VIDEO], [SERIAL], [ALERT],and
[LAYOUT]. The category name in brackets should be in upper case. The item name in angle braces
should be in lower case. Some items related to disable/enable should use the keywords “YES”/“NO”. The
number zero entry in <user name> and <user password> is for the administrator, i.e. “root”.
Since the password when logging into FTP is not encrypted, it is recommended to use the Web instead of
FTP to configure the system afterwards. If some parameters other than the network or camera drivers are
changed, administrators can set <reset system> to NO to avoid resetting the system. It will automatically
return to YES during the next downloading of CONFIG.INI.
A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the format of the

FTP
NetworKam not only has web service for easy access but also has a built-in FTP service to make system
integrators easy to use. According to settings on the application page, NetworKam can sequentially send
updated snapshots over a specific period to an external server with choices of overwriting and time suffix.
For security staff, NetworKam can directly send snapshots to an external server as evidence according to
event settings. Through NetworKam’s FTP daemon, administrators can quickly update configurations and
maintenance.
Those files with GIF extensions which are used for a homepage layout and can be read and overwritten.
They also can be downloaded by managed users. Other files will be explained below.
Uploading snapshots periodically to an external FTP server
In sequential mode, NetworKam will send out snapshots according to interval and period settings. If
snapshot files are intended for quick updates, it is better to skip date and time suffix. The file name will
then be video.jpg. If the snapshots are used for occasional monitoring, suffix with date and time can help
administrators classify them easily.
Customizing homepage images
There is a small icon before each link that can be changed by administrators. Administrators may change
the look of the logo, background and image buttons by him or her self. There are three types of logos and
backgrounds, blank, default and other URL. The default method will use the image stored in the Flash
memory. Administrators may change the default logo, background image and button images by uploading
customized ones. The followings are the referenced file names and size limitations.

Viewing system log
Download SYSTEM.LOG and open it with any text viewer. The content of the file reveals useful
information about configuration and connections after the system boots up. It helps administrators to
easily find out who and how NetworKam was accessed since all network access to NetworKam is
recorded with timestamp. The system log will scroll to keep the newest messages as eliminate old ones.
Uploading the configuration file
To update each NetworKam’s configuration at once, upload the accurately formatted batch file to
CONFIG.INI. It is recommended to keep the original format, but changing values. Refer to the section in
configuration for details and optional values as well. After successfully receiving and verifying the file,
NetworKam will self-update the configuration and restart automatically. Refer to the previous section for
further information.
Software revision upgrade
NetworKam is able to keep the most up-to-date software. Customers are allowed to download the updated
binary codes upon receiving additional license from Vivotek and consequently upload it to NetworKam
via FTP. This function is open to administrators only. The updated system code may be in compressed
format and have name coded with version. Frequently check our web site for the latest version. To
upgrade the system code, follow the procedures below.
1. Decompress the compressed file in a local folder. A file named FLASH.BIN should appear.
2. Use the FTP program and change the working directory to the local folder where FLASH.BIN exists.
3. Connect to NetworKam with user name as “root” and password.
4. Use the PUT command to upload FLASH.BIN to NetworKam. The file size is near 1.5 mega bytes. It
will take approximately 2 seconds in a local network, 2 minutes by null modem connection or 6 minutes
by modem, but still subject to user's network.
5. After upload is complete, close the connection.
6. If the received FLASH.BIN is checked without error, NetworKam will update the software in Flash
memory and restart automatically. When NetworKam starts writing firmware, both status LED indicators
will stay on until system restarts. It takes about 30 to 40 seconds. User should keep the power stable
during the update process. After the system restarts, NetworKam may need installation depending on
whether the “Reset network at next boot” option is enabled or not. After NetworKam boots up, reload the

If power fails during the software upgrade, the program in the memory of NetworKam may be
destroyed permanently. If NetworKam cannot restart properly, ask the dealer for technical service.

Telnet
NetworKam has a Telnet daemon for administrators to access some seldom used functions. Using any
general terminal program to connect to NetworKam will prompt the user for a password. Username is not
requested here since only administrators can access the Telnet daemon. The password is as same as that
used for web access. After logging in, type "help" for the command list. If "debug" or "dinote" is not
executed, Telnet will disconnect automatically after being idle for 1 minute.
System core debugging
General activities are recorded into SYSTEM.LOG continuously, but information about abnormal status
is not. To look deep into the core debugging information, administrators may type the “debug” command.
This will cause NetworKam to start dumping the detailed debugging information while the system is
running. This is useful to examine if any error has occurred when the system operates abnormally. The
stored information will be cleared automatically after the dump. NetworKam will continue to dump new
messages unless the connection is broken. If Telnet is not connected, any messages will be stored until
administrators re-login.
Monitor changed status of digital inputs
Typing "dinote" will make NetworKam send the current status of digital input. After that NetworKam will
continuously monitor DI status and send messages only when the state has changed. For example, after
typing "dinote" the terminal will display
DI=L
DI=L
and if DI changes to H, terminal will display only
DI=H
Stop information dumping
Typing "stop" will cease dumping debug information and digital input status.
Query status of digital inputs
Typing "diquery" will display the status of digital input once.

To set digital output to connect NO with COMMON, type "DO=L".
To set digital output to connect NC with COMMON, type "DO=H".
Erase snapshots stored in Flash memory
Typing "erase image" will clear all snapshots saved in Flash.memory.
Erase logo and graphic buttons
Typing "erase graph" will clear all images used on the homepage. If no new images are uploaded, the
system will switch to text mode and use default images instead.
Skip installation during the next boot
Typing "lock" will inform NetworKam to fix current network settings. It need not wait for installation
during the next boot.
Reset network for new settings
Typing "unlock" will make NetworKam give up current settings and wait for installation.
Restore factory default settings
Typing "clear" will make NetworKam restore factory settings but not restart. To validate new settings,
type "reset" to make the system restart.
Reset system
Typing "reset" will make NetworKam perform a software reset.

URL commands of NetworKam
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, NetworKam can be
easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section lists the commands in URL format
corresponding to the basic functions of NetworKam. Some RFC standards related to HTML may be a
good reference for implementation of the customized homepages.

Send command to device attached to COM
/cgi-bin/senddata.cgi?data=123456,ABCDEF&flush=yes&wait=1000&read=6
This hyperlink will inform NetworKam to send out binary format commands to the COM with “0x12,
0x34, 0x56” followed by “0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF”. Each comma separates the commands by 200
milliseconds. “flush=yes” means the receive data buffer of COM port must be cleared before read. Then
read 6 bytes after waiting for 1000 milliseconds. The read data can be up to 128 bytes and will return as
ASCII coded hexadecimal value, e.g., 0x41, 0x42, 0x43 read from COM port will show in returned
homepage as 414243 instead of ABC.
Restore factory default settings
/setup/restore.cgi
NetworKam will automatically restart after restoring factory default configurations.

Appendix
A. POST procedure
After the power has been turned on, NetworKam will perform a self-diagnostic to locate any possible
hardware defects. If the power indicator is dim at the beginning, the power fails to proceed further. While
the POST is proceeding, the status LED indicators will keep blinking interchanged until finished or any
fatal error happens. If either status LED indicator is dim at the beginning, the LED may be broken.
Any possible fatal error has a special pattern shown in the following table. LED2 is the one below the
network indicator and LED3 is the lowest one. If the POST is successful, status LED indicators will both
shut off for a while and then light depending on the chosen network interface. If Ethernet is available,
LED2 will flash like a heartbeat after network installation is done. Otherwise if modem is available,
LED2 will flash alike to indicate listening for dial-in connection while LED3 is lit. If the included null
modem cable is connected, both LEDs will stay on and then LED2 will start flashing after the connection
from the PC is opened for configuration and LED3 stays lit.

A. Every access to NetworKam needs authentication. If you are one of the managed users, you have to
ask the administrators for the password. If you are the administrators, there is no way to recover the root
password. The only way to regain access to NetworKam is to utilize the default setting button on the rear
panel to restore the factory settings and reinstall it.
Q. Why can I not watch video from NetworKam after it is authenticated?
A. There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem,
1.If you have just installed NetworKam and are unable to watch the video, check the video modulation on
the Configuration page.
2.If NetworKam is well installed and you are accessing NetworKam for the first time using Internet
Explorer, adjust the security level of Internet Explorer to allow installation of plug-ins.
3.If the problem still exists after adjusting, the current users may be over the system allows.
Q. What is the plug-in for?
A. The plug-in provided by NetworKam is used to display motion pictures on Internet Explorer. If your
system does not allow installation of any plug-in software, the security level of the web browser may need
to be lowered. It is recommended that you consult your network supervisors in your office regarding
adjustment of the security level.
Q. Why is the timestamp different from the system time of my PC or notebook?
A. The timestamp is based on the system time of NetworKam. It is maintained by a real-time clock inside
and automatically synchronizes with the time server if NetworKam is connected to the Internet and the
function is enabled. Differences of several hours may result from the time zone setting.
Q. Why does the image not refresh regularly?
A. In a modem environment, it is because the bandwidth of PPP connection is far less than Ethernet. If the
difference of the timestamp is not stable, adjust the UART FIFO lower in both receiving and transmitting

from modem property in the control panel. While in Ethernet, it may be due to time taken in storing
snapshots into memory upon events occurring.
Q. How does NetworKam detect the supported PTZ cameras automatically?
A. If there is no camera detected, NetworKam will monitor the CTS of the camera control cable
continuously. As long as the CTS is detected, NetworKam will try to handshake with supported cameras
until a supported camera is found. There is no more camera detection once a PTZ camera is recognized.
Q. How many users are allowed to watch NetworKam at the same time?
A. Basically there is no limitation of users. However the video quality also depends on the network
bandwidth. To achieve the best effect, NetworKam will allow several users to be connected. It is
recommended to build another web server to host a large quantity of users by retrieving images from
NetworKam periodically.
Q. How fast is the video rate of NetworKam?
A. The MPEG4 codec can process 30 frames per second internally. However the total performance is
subject to many coefficients as follows:
1. network throughput.
2. bandwidth share.
3. number of users.
4. the complicated objects in view results in larger image file.
5. the level of your PC or notebook which is responsible for displaying images.
In general, the transfer rate in a general local network environment can achieve over 200 kilobytes per
second and approximately 10 to 20 pictures of a normal environment per second.
Q. How can I keep NetworKam as private as possible?
A. NetworKam is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible interfaces. The user
authentication and special confirmation in installation can keep NetworKam from unauthorized access.
You may also change the HTTP port to non-public number. You can check the system log to examine any
abnormal activities and trace the origins.

Q. I have a PTZ camera that is not on the supported list. How can I control it?
A. NetworKam provides a custom camera command interface to control the cameras that are not
supported. The details are described in the manual. Be sure the COM port settings are applied to the
camera specification. The camera control cable included is shown in the package content. Prepare your
own cable if necessary. The general PTZ command is composed of one start command and one stop
command. When editing both commands in the edit box of the configuration page, use comma(s) to
separate commands. Each comma represents 200 milliseconds. If the user has some serial control device
other than the PTZ camera, the special URL is provided to send the desired commands. For quick access,
integrate the URL to another homepage on your own web server.
Q. How fast will NetworKam check the status of digital inputs?
A. NetworKam will check input status in less than half a second. However, to avoid repeatedly checking
conditions too often and to allow the devices connected to digital outputs to function properly,
NetworKam will delay 3 seconds by default after each condition matches. Users may change it according
to specific applications. During this period, any condition will be ignored.
Q. Why can I not access NetworKam when I setup some options in the application?
A. When NetworKam is triggered by events, snapshots will take more time to write them into memory. If
the events occur too often, the system will always be busy storing images. It is recommended to use
sequential mode or external recorder program to record motion pictures if the event is frequent. If you
prefer to retrieve images via FTP, the value could be smaller since FTP responses quicker than the Web
does. Once the system is too busy to configure, use the restore factory default and reset button to save the
system.
Q. I try to connect my black-and-white and color cameras with NetworKam but the image is not good.
A. Although NetworKam allows users to choose color or black-and-white images for each camera, hybrid
camera types may increase video processing time and reduce system performance.
