The IP cam is a plug-and-play device. IP cams connected in LAN are listed on the
Camera Name Window. Make sure you connect the IP cams that you want to
configure in the same LAN as the personal computer with the IP cam loader software
installed in it, so the software can find the IP cams for setup.
The cameras in the Camera Name Window have different colors, and they have
different meanings.
1. Green (Internet mode): This means that this camera can only be accessed by aviewer.
2. Blue (NVR mode): This means that this camera can be accessed by both theviewer and the NVR.

*What is a Port?
"Port" in this case, refers to a logical communication connection.
Therere multiple hosts behind a single public IP address. The basic idea is to disguise
IP packets to or from your private LAN so they appear to the rest of the Internet as if
they only originate from your gateway machine's external IP address. The Network
Address Translation (NAT) router takes the role of sending a packet from the LAN to ahost on the Internet that creates a return translation entry. Until a host on the LAN
initiates contact, it is invisible to the public Internet.
The default port number can be changed to avoid conflict with other applicatons.
User is recommended to do Port Mapping of users router. It allows user to manually
create a permanent translation entry that maps a protocol port on your gateway
machine to an IP address and protocol port on your private LAN.
**Note that each IPcam on the same LAN should have a unique port number.
Click on the circle to enable the
browser function.
This server is provided by your
dealer, and serves as a DDNS
server.
This is the camera name shown
on the browser for this camera.
The user can adjust the frame rate,
resolution and bandwidth for the
browser. When this button is
pressed, a setup window will
appear.
Press save to update the
configuration on the IPcam
This port number is used by the
connection between the router and
IPcam. If you enable auto port
mapping, this setting will be
redundant. However, if you need to
fix the port number*, you need to set
this up. **
Click on the circle to enable auto
port mapping. This is
recommended for most users.

Register the rest of the IPcam into the server, and allocate sub-accountAfter the first IPcam is registered into the server, the next step is to (1) register the
rest of the IPcams for this master account, and (2) setup the sub-accounts.
Sub-account is an account which only has authorization to some of all the IPcams
allocated to the master account. In real life, master account is like the boss of the
company, who has the authority to manage the whole company, while a manager is
similar to a sub-account, who has only the authority to manage a division of the
whole company.
To Register the rest of the IPcam into the server, or allocate a sub-account, the user
needs to first enter the management system for this master account.
Enter the management system for this master accountFollow the steps below to enter the management system.

What is priority?
There are three priority levels: high, general and low. Since for each IPcam, there can
only be one user controlling, when there are more than one user allocating the same
IPcam, the sub-user with a higher priority will be able to access the IPcam, while the
one with a lower priority will not be able to access. If both users have the same
priority, the user which allocates the IPcam later will gain access.
Add cameras into the sub-user account - Privilege management system
The purpose for privilege management is to add IPcams to certain sub-user.
This means that this sub-user will be able to access this IPcam. To add an IPcam, the
user needs select a sub-user name, a camera name which is registered in the master
account. When this is done, press add to update this information into the system.
