Chapter One: Product introduction
The series IP Camera is designed specially for security and defence field which is an
outstanding digital surveillance product. It introduces embedded LINUX operating system which is more
stable. It introduces standard H.264mp video compressed format and G.711A audio compressed format
which insures the high quality image, low error coding ratio and single frame playing. It introduces
TCP/IP network technology which achieves the strong network communication ability and
telecommunication ability.
The IPC (IP Camera) can online applied as a part of a safety surveillance network. With the
professional network video surveillance software it achieves the strong network communication ability
It is applied to all kinds of occasion that need network remote monitoring, such as:
Real-time surveillance
·With analog output interface can do surveillance through device of monitor or DVR, etc.
Compression format
· Audio and video signal is compressed by individual hardware, to make the image and voice
synchronously stable
Backup function
·client side pc can download file from TF card for back up via network
·can do full real-time record, and search, net surveillance, video search and download, etc.
Telecom interface
· with Ethernet port for remote access function , remote upgrade & maintaince function.
Intelligent operation
·for the same setting operation on menu can do copy & paste operation.
Firstly, check model No. on product is the same as what you ordered;
Then, check if there is obvious damage on packing, the protective material used for packing can
Finally, please take out IPC and remove the protective covers to check if there is obvious damage.
CD disc 1pc
Power supply 1pc
IP Camera 1pc
The IPC is using the standard case, so it can be installed to a standard brace.
1、make sure the temperature is between -10℃~60℃ ,humidity is less than 90%;
4、when installing multi-device on the same line, please take protective measure to avoid over load
of the line.
2.4 Interface illustration
1.BNC output:
Remark: Please check if the model you bought whether support BNC OUTPUT .
BNC video output is divided into: PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P ,75Ω),can be connected to monitor or
The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen by the
transmission distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair, video
The video signal line should be away from the electro magnetic Interference and other equipments
The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which avoid false and joint
2. Network output:
Connect to LAN and WAN via common standard, using the PC that is in the same LAN line with IPC by
software or IE browser to set parameters, real-time preview, remote playback and download, etc.
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.:
1、do not make it running for a long time, in order to extend the using life of device.
TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and
control the power supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The
Remark:1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the DVR power supply.
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions.
3.2 Reboot
Reboot IPC is divided into soft reboot and hard reboot. Soft switch please enter【Devicecfg】>
【Advanced】 choose【reboot】;Hard reboot, to cut off power and reconnect it to reboot device
Illustrate:
If IPC happens with abnormal shut down when it is under recording, after reboot, it will
auto-save the record info before shutdown and restore to status before shutdown.
2、Change TF card
3、Change battery
IPC is using button cell battery, need regularly check system time, if time is not accurate, then
need to change battery. Suggest to change it once a year by professional maintainer and using
3.3 Log-in
When device turns on normally, need to log-in before operation, system will base on the authority of
When device ex-fly, there are 3 preset users : admin、guest、default,default password is none, admin
is preset as super authority user, guest and default is preset with authority of preview and playback,
admin and guest user can modify password but not authority, default is the user default log-in, can

of extra stream, dual stream is using one high bit rate stream for local high definition storage, support
D1/HD1/CIF/QCIF encode, one low bit rate stream(QCIF encode) for net transmission, in order to
maintain local storage and remote net transfer. Dual stream both considering to image quality and
transmission quality under the current band bottleneck, and can breakthrough it, base on the bandwidth
to flexibly choose stream format, to reach local high definition storage and low stream for net
Remark:Main application of extra stream: to do multi-channel real-time monitor, and mobile monitor

Extra stream is used for client side monitor and mobile monitor.
The parameter setting of resolution, frame rate, stream control, bit rate value is the same as
individual channel
【DNS setting】Domain Name Server. It translates the domain name into IP address. The IP address
is offered by network provider. The address must be set and reboot then it works.;
【Transfer policy】there are 3 policies, adaptive, quality preferred, fluency preferred. Base on
different setting, code stream is auto-adjusted, adaptive is eclectic between quality and fluency, also
considers fluency when the quality is not greatly influenced. Fluency preferred and adaptive is valid only
when the extra stream is enable, if extra stream is not enable, it will base on network status to adjust
quality preferred

5.2 Maintaince
1、Please brush printed circuit boards, connectors, fans, machine box and so on
regularly.
2、Please keep the grounding well done to prevent the video or audio signal interfered
3、Do not pull out the video signal line or RS-232 port or RS-485 port with the power on。
4、Please keep the IPC away from heat resource, and regularly investigate system and
maintaince.
First time install IP Camera, make sure the TF card was installed
To make sure normally realize the function, suggest to use TF card minimum 4G, and
itself,so calculate capacity need base on bit rate value to statics capacity of each hour
each channel.
