Introduction
Welcome to the IP Camera
The IP Camera combines a high quality digital video camera with network connectivity and a powerful web server to bring clear video to your desktop from anywhere on your local network or over the Internet.
Input Pins: The input pins can be used for 2-way external sensor input. For example, you may connect a Person Infrared Sensor (PIR) to it for motion detection. When external sensor triggered, IP Camera can be programmed to send an email with picture or control the internal relay output.
Input pins can connect 2 sensors. The sensor should provide open/close signal only. The two lines of sensor 1 should connect to Pin 3 & Pin 4; the two lines of sensor 2 should connect to Pin 5 & Pin 4.
Output Pins: IP Camera has an internal relay. Relay’s two normally open contacts are represented by Pin 1 and Pin 2. You may use it to control one external load below AC/DC 36V & 2 Amp.
While connecting input and output pins, strip off the protect rubber of wire for 5mm, the use a small screwdriver to depress and latch down the orange tabs over holes, Insert the red wire into hole until the insulation just reaches the back of the camera, use the screwdriver to press down and release the orange tab above hole locking the wire in place. Repeat the steps for other wires.
Functions and Features
Basic Functions
The IP Camera and your home or business network form a powerful audio/video remote monitoring solution. Just place the IP Camera anywhere on your network, power it up, and it’s ready to be accessed by any PC on the network running web browser. The IP camera utilizes MJPEG hardware compression, brings 30fps@VGA resolution live video to you.
The built-in pan and tilt, live streaming audio, and snapshot/video capture functions can all be controlled directly from the camera’s on-board homepage. Capability for motion detection with e-mail notification may be added by purchasing an optional motion detector.
Use the IP Camera to keep an eye on your home or business when you can’t be there. Give friends and relatives a window into your world or monitor and record anything from anywhere on the Internet.
WAN IP Address
The WAN (Wide Area Network) IP address that your Internet Service Provider grants you so that you can access the Internet is very different from the LAN or local IP address that your PCs and cameras are using to connect to your local network. Your WAN or Internet IP address is visible to the outside world (Internet) whereas your local addresses are not. To find your home or business network from the Internet you must know your WAN IP address.
Your WAN IP address is stored by your gateway router which uses it to connect to the Internet. All the devices on your network connect to the Internet via your gateway router. You can find your current WAN IP address by checking your router’s status page. There 32
are also various websites such as www.whatismyip.com which will tell you the IP address that you are currently using to access the Internet.
The term gateway is used generically to mean the device that connects a local network to the Internet. A gateway may be a router, a PC running software which allows it to act as a gateway such as a proxy server, or some other device. Most home networks use a NAT (Network Address Translation) router as a gateway. The term gateway router refers to such a device.
Static versus Dynamic IP address
The IP address (or addresses) your ISP has provided you will either be static, which means it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it can change periodically. Dynamic addresses present an additional challenge when trying to locate your network from the Internet since your address may have changed since the last time you checked it. How often your dynamic address changes vary from one service provider to another. Also, any time you reboot your cable or DSL modem, your are likely to get a new address when reconnecting. The solution to the ever changing IP address is known as DDNS or dynamic domain name service. A DDNS will allow you to find your network by a domain name, such as tom.vipcam.cn, rather than needing to know the IP address.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Most home routers and business firewalls today perform something called NAT or Network Address Translation. NAT translates your external or WAN IP address into an internal address inside your gateway router. What this means is, you can think of your router as being divided into two halves, the LAN side (inside) and the WAN side (outside or Internet side). When a connection request arrives at your router from the Internet, it will not get any farther than the WAN side unless you have specifically instructed your router to pass this type of request to a specific device on your LAN. This process is known as port forwarding or port redirecting.
