Installation
Hardware installation
All necessary accessories can be found in the product
package except for the Ethernet cable that depends on the
user’s environment. The Ethernet cable should meet UTP
category 5 that cannot exceed 100 meters.
Connect the jack of the power adapter to
MiniAVServer prior to plugging the utility end into the
utility power socket. It will reduce accidental electric
surge shock.
As soonas the power adapter is plugged into the utility socket, the front LED will switch
between green and red for several times. After passing the self-test, the LED will shut
off and Network Camera will standby for software installation. Otherwise refer to
Appendix A for troubleshooting.
To install in Ethernet,
Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the
Ethernet cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to be steady green after
self-test, go to next paragraph “Software installation”. If the Ethernet is not available,
Network Camera will switch to wireless LAN mode.
To install in wireless LAN,
If the Ethernet is not available while power on, Network Camera will search for any

Software installation
In the following content, "user" refers to those who can access Network Camera and
"administrator" refers to the supervisor who can configure Network Camera and grant
users access.
When completing the hardware installation, administrators need to run the Installer
program included in the productCDROM to locate the newly installed Network Cameras.
Any Network Camera standby for software installation will be captured by the Installer
program. Therefore there may be several entries shown in the window. Administrators
may differentiate the Network Cameras with the serial number and click on the entry
with "Assigned" field labeled "No" to performsoftware installation. The serial number is
printed on the labels on the carton and the rear panel of Network Camera body.
To install Network Camera for wireless usage, it is recommended to install in
Ethernet first. After successfully entering the network configuration page, input the
correct WLAN settings, remove the Ethernet cable and recycle the power to work in
WLAN.
The IP address shown in
"Current IP Address" field
depends on the local network.
It may get from the DHCP
server for the administrator's
reference. If there is no DHCP
server, administrators can
choose any neighbor IP
address of the PC. The
Installer program will check
the IP address automatically;
there will be a warning
message if it conflicts with

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.
Click on “Set IP Address” button to
proceed.
Enter the wireless LAN settings
according to the access point in
infrastructure or Ad Hoc master.
The connection mode, SSID,
WEP settings are required. If

When administrators choose “Use
this IP whenever system boots” or
fill any wireless network settings,
the local FTP server port and root
password of Network Camera will be
utilized. If they have been changed
prior
to
the
installation,
a
confirmation window will pop out to
request correct settings. After
entering the correct settings, press
“Retry”.
If the “Server FTP Port” or “Server Root
Password” is lost, click “Cancel” to exit. In this
case, the IP address of Network Camera will
still be installed though it is not fixed for
further reboot. If the root password is correct,
administrator can log in to browse the correct
local FTP server port in the network settings.
Otherwise referto Appendix A Troubleshooting
to restore factory default settings and then
use the installer to install again.
Once installation is complete, administrators should proceed to the next
section "First access to Network Camera" for necessary checks and
configurations.

First access to Network Camera
Check network settings even if connected already
Although Network Camera already can be connected after software installation from
Local Area Network, administrators should complete the network settings in the
configuration page including the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and
DNS. Ask for the network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail
information. By default Network Camera will need administrator's installation every
time it reboots. If the network settings are sure to work all the time, disable the install
option. Refer to “Network settings” in system configuration page for details. Once any
setting is entered incorrectly and thus hangs Network Camera, restore the factory
settings according to the steps in troubleshooting.
Add password to protect from offense from strangers
Since the administrator’s password isblank by default, Network Camera will not ask for
any password. However the administrator should change the password as soon as
possible to protect from network intruders. Once the administrator’s password is saved,
Network Camera always needs user name and password before access. The
administrator can setup at most twenty user accounts. Each user is able to access
Network Camera except for system configuration. Some critical functions are limited
only for administrators suchas systemconfiguration, user administration andsoftware
upgrade. The user name of the administrator is assigned to “root” permanently. Once
the password is changed, the browser will display an authentication window to ask for
the new password.There is no way to discover administrator’s password. If the
password is forgotten, only restoring factory defaults can help.

How to Use
Authentication
After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of Network Camera, a dialogue
window may pop up to request a username and password except that the administrator
does not save any password. Upon successful authentication, the main page will
display like the figure below.
In the figure, the foreground is the login window and the background shows the
message when authentication fails. The user may check the option to save the
password for future convenience.

Connection type
If it is the firstaccess to “Connectiontype”page in Windows, the webbrowser will ask
to install a new plug-in that is provided by Network Camera. This plug-in has been

supervisors.
There are two settings for the client side. One is “Media Option” for users to
determine if the audio should be muted. The other is “Protocol Option” to choose the
connection protocol between client and server. There are three protocols to optimize
your usage - UDP,TCP and HTTP. With UDP protocol, audio and video streams canbe
more real-time. But some packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images
will be obscure. If TCP protocol is selected, packet loss would not occur and video

display will more accurate. But the real-time effect is worse than UDP protocol. If the
network isprotected by a firewall and it opens HTTP port (80) only, HTTP protocol must
be selected. In this mode, audio will not be sent and you can see the video only. Ifyou
have no special needs and no idea to choose one among them, simply choose UDP.
Generally the client willautomatically try these protocols by the followingorder, UDP →
TCP → HTTP. After the client connects to the Network Camera successfully, “Protocol
Option” will show the working protocol. The chosen protocol will be recorded in the
user'sPC and used for next connection. If the network environment is changed orusers
want to let web browser detect again, select UDP manually to save and then return
HOME to connect again.

Administrator’s capability
Tune the best performance
The best performance means the image refresh rate should be the fastest as possible
and the video quality should be the best as possible at the lowest network bandwidth
as possible. Three factors, “Maximum frame rate”, “Fix bit rate”, and “Fix
quality” in the Video configuration page, are correlative to the performance.
My priority is real-time motioned images
To achieve the real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough
to transmit 20image framesor more. Ifyouare in the broadband network over 1Mbps,
you can fix the bit rate to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps, or fix the quality to achieve the
maximum frames. The maximum frame rate is 25 in 50Hz system and 30 in 60Hz
system. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps, you can fix the bit rate
according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate to 25 or 30. If the
images vary dramatically in your environment, you may slow down the maximum
frame rate to 20 to decrease the transmitted data for better video quality since human
could not easily tell the difference between 20 and 25 or 30 frames per second. If your
network bandwidth is below 384 Kbps, you should fix the bit rate according to your

bandwidth and try out the best performance by tuning the maximum frame rate. The
larger frame rate in slow network will blur the images. You may also try to choose
“Half” in size option for better images or “Halfx2” for larger image size. Note that even
you have well tuned the parameters, the performance may still vary from person to
person when multiple users view at the same time. Because the network has burst
constraint and everyone’s environment is not the same, any poor connection will drop
the normal performance.
My priority is clear identification for each image
To have the best video quality, you should fix the quality to detailed or excellent and
tune the maximum frame rate to suit for your network bandwidth. If you get some
broken pictures in slow network,you can choose TCP protocol in “Connection type” for
more accurate transmission but the received images may have certain time delay. Note
that any slow connection in multiple users will drop the proper performance.
I want to compromise between real-time and clear images
If you have a broadband network, choose fix quality to normal or better rather than fix
bandwidth. Otherwise fix the bandwidth according to your actual network speed and
set the frame rate to 30. If the images look bad, select the lower frame rate above 15.
If the images are not improved, select the lower bandwidth.

10. Prepare a homepage with the embedded image reference to the image file
uploaded via FTP in advance.
If the web space has no FTP service,
An auto-refresh homepage can be used to periodically poll the newest image from
Network Camera. It is mostly useful in the free web space provider as their FTP service
may be limited to use.
1. Prepare an auto-refresh homepage like the following example. The URL of image is
according to your Network Camera. Also define the refresh interval according to your
network bandwidth for best effect. Too frequent refresh rate for a great deal of visitors
may overload Network Camera and retard the response.

incautious mistakes during installation. However it is very annoying to perform
software installation whenever Network Camera starts. Once the network settings,
especially the IP address, are correct, uncheck this option to use permanently. This
option can also be disabled using the Installer program. Once the option is disabled,
Network Camera will skip installationat the next boot and the Installer program will no
longer find the installed units. That implies that Network Camera cannot be accessed if
no one remembers the IP address, except by restoring factory default settings.
However, with this option disabled Network Camera can automatically operate
normally after restarting in case of losing power.

B. Frequently asked questions
Q What if I forget my password?
A After the administrator's password is assigned, every access to Network Camera
needs authentication. If you are one of the managed users, you have to ask the
administrator for the password. If you are the administrator, there is no way to recover
the root password except for restoring factory default. Refer to Appendix A for the
procedures.
Q Why can I not watch video from Network Camera after it is authenticated?
A There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem,
1. If you have just installed Network Camera and are unable to watch the video, check
if the heartbeat LED is blinking or the lens cap is removed. If the heartbeat LED is dim,
perform the software installation again.
2. If Network Camera is well installed and you are accessing Network Camera 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, and the message over the image window
is showing "connecting", the network traffic may be too crowded.
Q What is the plug-in for?
A The plug-in providedby Network Camera is used to display motion picturesand audio
in 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. Software installation may be regulated in some offices.
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 Network Camera. It is maintained by
a real-time clock inside and can be automatically synchronized with the time server if
Network Camera is connected to the Internet and the function is enabled. Differences
of several hours may result from the time zone setting.

Q Can I install it on ceiling?
A Yes. There are flip and mirror options in video configuration page to correct the
images for upside down installation.
Q The image is not clear enough.
A Rotate the lens to adjust the focus after Network Camera is installed in the proper
position. The image settings and white balance can be fine tuned to achieve the best
visual effect. Also notice the power line frequency must match the local utility to
synchronize the florescent lights to eliminate the uncomfortable flashing.
Q Why does the image not refresh regularly?
A Some anti-virus programs will provide functions to filter the received web content. It
will take time to perform the data examination and affect the streaming application
such as Network Camera. However it only affects the HTP mode of Network Camera. If
the network allows the HTTP mode only, disable the web filtering function of the
anti-virus program temporarily. During the period, users should take the risk of
malicious network activity.
Q I have opened motion detection windows but it cannot work.
A If the motion detection windows are setup and names are given, check if the function
is checked at the first line. While it is enabled, adjust the sensitivity and percentage to
monitor the level indicator if the threshold is appropriate.
Q I cannot hear any sound while watching.
A If there is "V_ONLY" shown above the image, click on connection type to uncheck
"Disable audio". If there is "V" shown instead of "AV", the sound card in your PC may
not properly installed. If "AV" is shown, check the audio source of Network Camera.
Q How many users are allowed to watch Network Camera at the same time?
A Too many users requesting the real-time multimedia content will digest the network.
To achieve the best effect, Network Camera is designed to accommodate maximum ten
users to watch and listen to Network Camera at the same time. It is recommended to

build another web server to host a large quantity of users by retrieving contents from
Network Camera periodically.
Q How fast is the video rate of Network Camera?
A The MPEG4 codec engine 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 and movement in view,
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 secondand approximately 10 to 20 picturesof a normal environment
per second.
Q How can I keep Network Camera as private as possible?
A Network Camera is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible
interfaces. The user authentication and special confirmation in installation can keep
Network Camera from unauthorized access. You may also change the HTTP port to
non-public number. The demo account is good to separate guests from normal users
and thusyou can easily block guestsanytime. Youcancheck the system logto examine
any abnormal activities and trace the origins.
Q Why can I not access Network Camera when I setup some options in the application?
A Since Network Camera is a "network camera", any incorrect network settings will
make it unreachable. Once the system is missed due to wrong configuration, restore
the factory default settings following procedures in Appendix A.
