In the following content, "user"
refers to those who can access the IT150W Network Camera and
"administrator" refers to the supervisor who can configure the IT150W
Network Camera and grant users access.
When completing the hardware installation,
administrators need to run the Installer
program included in the product CDROM to locate the newly installed IT150W
Network Camera. Any IT150W 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 IT150W Network
Camera with the serial number and click on the entry with "Assigned"
field labeled "No" to perform software installation. The serial number
is printed on the labels on the carton and the rear panel of the IT150W Network
Camera¡¦s body.
To install the IT150W 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 others.
If administrators want to use another IP
address, modify the IP address text field. 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 the settings are not sure at this stage,
click ¡§Skip¡¨ to continue installation in Ethernet. All the settings can be
entered later from the web configuration page.
After clicking on ¡§Save¡¨, a progressive bar will indicate the
installation process.
Congratulations!
Now the IT150W Network Camera is ready for access. After
clicking on 
in the successful dialog, the
"Assigned" field will be labeled "Yes". Administrators
should keep the address information for users¡¦ request.
If there is any error dialog rather than ¡§Set IP OK¡¨, please follow
the next page.
Administrators may click directly on 
to access the newly installed server in
the default browser.
When administrators choose ¡§Use this IP whenever system boots¡¨ or
fill any wireless network settings, the local FTP server port and root password
of the IT150W 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 the IT150W 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 refer to 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 the IT150W
Network Camera" for necessary checks and configurations.
Although the IT150W 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 the IT150W 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 the IT150W Network Camera, restore the factory settings according to
the steps in troubleshooting.
Since the administrator¡¦s password is
blank by default, the IT150W 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, the
IT150W 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 the IT150W Network Camera except for system configuration. Some critical
functions are limited only for administrators such as system configuration,
user administration and software 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.
After opening the Web browser and typing in
the URL of the IT150W 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.
If it is initial access to the IT150W Network
Camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt for permission to install a new
plug-in that is provided by the IT150W Network Camera. Prompt or not and the
prompt message depend on the Internet security settings of user¡¦s PC or
notebook. The highest security level may prohibit any installation and
execution attempt even the plug-in is safe. This plug-in has been registered
for certificate and is used to display the motioned pictures in the browser.
Users may click on 
to proceed. 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 is a
logo image shown in the upper left corner. It can link to other web sites or
resources depending on the settings in configuration. The assigned caption and
system date/time will display in the banner above the image window. There might
be some windows enclosed by red lines shown in the image as soon as motion is
detected in the related windows. Click on the configuration link to the right
of the image window to enter the configuration page.
If
it is the first access to ¡§Connection
type¡¨ page in Windows, the web browser will ask to install a new plug-in
that is provided by the IT150W Network Camera. This plug-in has been registered
for certificate and is used to change the parameters at the client side. Users
may click on to install the plug-in. If the web
browser does not allow the user to install, check the Internet security to
lower the security level or contact network 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 can be 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 is protected 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. If you have no special needs and no idea to choose
one among them, simply choose UDP. Generally the client will automatically try
these protocols by the following order, UDP ¡÷ TCP ¡÷ HTTP. After the client
connects to the IT150W Network Camera successfully, ¡§Protocol Option¡¨ will show the working protocol. The chosen
protocol will be recorded in the user's PC and used for next connection. If the
network environment is changed or users want to let web browser detect again,
select UDP manually to save and then return HOME to connect again.
<url> http://<IT150W
Network Camera>/protocol.html
<IT150W>
is the domain name or original IP address of the IT150W Network Camera.
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 20 image frames or more. If you are in the broadband network
over 1 Mbps, 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.
Protect the IT150W
Network Camera by passwords
The
IT150W Network Camera is shipped without any password by default. That means
everyone can access the IT150W Network Camera including the configuration as
long as the IP address is known. It is necessary to assign a password if the IT150W
Network Camera is intended to be accessed by others. Type a new word twice in 1 to enable protection. This
password is used to identify the administrator. Then add an account with user
name and password for your friends in 2. The IT150W Network Camera
can provide twenty accounts for your valuable customers or friends. Each
account identifies the access right rather than the real visitor. That allows
multiple visitors share the same account of different level. An option to access DI/DO is provided for
each account. Some users may need to prohibit from controlling your attached
devices. You may delete some users from 3.
More flexible
options for viewers 4
The
first option allows anyone uses ¡§demo¡¨ as the user name to view without
password. Administrators can also decide if more viewers are allowed to watch
the video if the viewers exceed the limit. The overloaded viewers will have
snapshot mode instead.

System configuration can be accessed only
by administrators. Each category in the left column will be explained in the
following pages. The bold texts are those specific phrase on the option pages.
Administrators may type the URL below the figure to directly enter the frame
page of configuration. If administrators also want to set certain options
through the URL, read the reference appendix for details.
<url>
http://<IT150W Network Camera>/setup/config.html
<IT150W> is the domain name or
original IP address of the IT150W Network Camera.
"Host
name", the text will display as title at the top
of the main page.
¡§Turn off
the LED indicator¡¨, check this option to shut off the
LED beside the lens. It can prevent others from observing the operation.
"Keep
current date and time", click to reserve the
current date and time of the IT150W Network Camera. An internal real-time clock
maintains the date and time even when the power of the system is turned off.
"Sync
with computer time", synchronize the date and time
of the IT150W Network Camera with the local computer. The read-only date and
time of PC is displayed as updated.
¡§Manual¡¨, adjust the date and time according to what entered by
administrators. Notice the format in the related field while typing.
¡§Automatic¡¨, synchronize with the NTP server over the Internet whenever the IT150W
Network Camera starts up. It will fail if the assigned timeserver cannot be
reached.
¡§NTP
server¡¨, assign the IP address or domain name of the
timeserver. Leaving the text box blank will let the IT150W Network Camera connect
to default timeservers.
"Time
zone", is used to adjust the hour get from
timeservers for local settings.
Remember to click on 
to validate changes. The later click on , the
less accurate time set by manual.
¡§Root
password¡¨, to change the administrator¡¦s password, type
the new password in both text boxes identically. What is typed will be
displayed as asterisks for the security purpose. After pressing 
, the
web browser will ask administrators for the new password for access.
¡§Add
user¡¨, type the new user's name and password and press 
to insert the new entry. The new user
will display in the user name list for deletion. There are maximum twenty user
accounts. Each user can have privilege to ¡§Permit to access DI/DO¡¨.
¡§Delete
user¡¨, pull down the user list to find the user name
and press 
.
¡§Allow
¡¥demo¡¦ account to view¡¨, click to permit who typing
¡§demo¡¨ as user name while authentication. No password is needed for demo
account. Note that demo account is restricted to view only.
¡§Allow more viewers with snapshot mode¡¨ can
let more viewers than limited account to watch the video. However the video is
a still image automatically refreshed by the interval defined below. This
feature must be supported by java script capability of web browsers.
¡§Snapshot interval¡¨ defines the refresh
rate of the still image in the homepage seen by overloaded viewers.
Any change made to this page will make the
system restart to validate. Make sure every field is correctly typed before
clicking on .
"Reset
IP address at next boot", the default status is
checked to eliminate incautious mistakes during installation. However it is
very annoying to perform software installation whenever the IT150W 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, the IT150W Network Camera will skip
installation at the next boot and the Installer program will no longer find the
installed units. That implies that the IT150W Network Camera cannot be accessed
if no one remembers the IP address, except by restoring factory default
settings. However, with this option disabled the IT150W Network Camera can
automatically operate normally after restarting in case of losing power.
¡§IP
address¡¨, it is necessary for network identification.
¡§Subnet
mask¡¨, it is used to determine if the destination is in
the same subnet. The default value is ¡§255.255.255.0¡¨.
¡§Default
router¡¨, it is the gateway used to forward frames to
destinations in different subnet. Invalid router setting will fail in
transmission to destinations in different subnet.
¡§Primary
DNS¡¨, primary domain name server who translates names
to IP addresses.
¡§Secondary
DNS¡¨, secondary domain name server to backup the
primary one.
¡§Http
port¡¨, it can be other than default port 80. Once the
port is changed, users must be informed for successful connection. For
instance, when the administrator changes the HTTP port of the IT150W Network
Camera whose IP address is 192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080, users must type in
the web browser ¡§http://192.168.0.100:8080¡¨ instead of ¡§http://192.168.0.100¡¨.
¡§Control
channel port¡¨, it can be other than default port 5001
to cooperate with the port opened by the firewall.
¡§Audio
channel port¡¨, it can be other than default port 5002
to cooperate with the port opened by the firewall.
¡§Video
channel port¡¨, it can be other than default port 5003 to
cooperate with the port opened by the firewall.
¡§Improve audio quality in

¡§Channel¡¨, while in infrastructure mode, the channel is selected
automatically to match the channel setting for the selected Access Point. In
Ad-Hoc mode, the channel must be manually set to the same channel for each
wireless adapter. The default channel setting depends on the installed region.
¡§TX rate¡¨, to select the maximum transmission rate on the network. 22Mbps is
the default setting.
¡§Preamble¡¨, either ¡§Long preamble¡¨
or ¡§Short preamble¡¨ defines the
length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for
detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the Access Point
and the roaming wireless device. Long Preamble is the default setting. Note:
High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.
¡§Data encryption¡¨, checking the box to enable the data encryption. By default it is
disabled.
¡§Auth.
Mode¡¨, choosing one of the following modes, (Auto is
the default setting)
¡§Auto¡¨ ¡V Will automatically decide the authentication mode of the wireless

and time of the IT150W Network Camera that is maintained by a built-in
real-time clock.
¡§Color¡¨, select either one for color or monochrome video display.
"Size", there are three options for two video sizes. ¡§Half¡¨ has quarter size of ¡§Normal¡¨.
¡§Half x 2¡¨ has the same video
size as ¡§Normal¡¨ but has worse
quality. However it consumes less network bandwidth.
¡§Power
line frequency (for fluorescent light)¡¨, the
fluorescent light will flash according to the power line frequency that depends
on local utility. Change the frequency setting to eliminate uncomfortable flash
image when the light source is only fluorescent light.
There are three dependent parameters
provided for video performance adjustment. "Maximum frame rate", it 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 detail (quantization rate)
regardless of the network, it will utilize more bandwidth to send the maximal
frames when images change drastically.
"Flip", vertically rotate the video.
"Mirror", horizontally rotate the video. Check both if the IT150W Network
Camera is installed upside down.
¡§White
balance¡¨, choose the suitable option for best color
