1. Introduction

The ICA-108/108W is a wired/wireless IR IP Camera. The ICA-108/108W can send live video and

audio via the internet to a web browser anywhere in the world.

The ICA-108/108W features zero-lux illumination. The 6 IR illuminators built around the lens bring

the clearest vision at night. The ICA-108/108W offers color picture in day time and monochrome at

complete darkness with built in CMOS sensor up to 10 meters. Use new High-Light LED to provide

greater performance in the dark and longer life of LED.

Multi-profile stands for video stream simultaneously. The ICA-108/108W can generate MPEG-4

and M-JPEG streaming to different users in the meantime. Moreover, the resolution can differ from

one user to another. This state-of-art design is considerable to fit in various network environments.

Up to 10 users can access to the ICA-108/108W at any time simultaneously.

The ICA-108/108W takes surveillance to use 2-way audio. It can remotely talk to anyone at

ICA-108/108W site when adding a speaker on ICA-108/108W. The ICA-108W uses IEEE

802.11b/g wireless technology that communicates at a maximum wireless signal rate of up to

54Mbps and security features include WEP and WPA encryption.

1.1 Overview

This user’s manual explains how to operate the wired/wireless IR IP Camera from a computer.

Basically, the user’s manual is written to be read on the computer display. However, users might

consider printing it out to access easily and read it before you operate the Network Camera. This

manual shows how to set up the two cameras, unless model name specified terms “IR IP Camera”

will be used for these two models.

search the IR IP Cameras in the network that shall help you to configure some basic setting before

you started advanced management and monitoring.

1. Insert the bundled CD into the CD-ROM drive to launch the autorun program. Once completed,

a welcome menu screen will appear.

2. Click the “IP Wizard” hyperlink; you will see the InstallShield Wizard dialog box as below.

NOTE: If the welcome screen does not appear, click “Start” at the taskbar. Then, select

“Run” and type “D:\Utility\setup.exe”, assume D is your CD-ROM drive.

2.5 IP Wizard

When you installed the IR IP Camera on a LAN environment, you may execute IP Wizard to

discover IR IP Camera’s IP address and set up related parameters in the IR IP Camera.

NOTE:

The ICA-108 installation steps are similar. Below is the installation of ICA-108W.

Search Button:

When click Search button, a searching window will pop up. IP Wizard is starting to search Internet

Camera on the LAN. The message “No Network Devices Is Found” will appear on this window if IP

Wizard cannot find any IR IP Camera on the LAN. Otherwise, existed IR IP Cameras will be listed.

If total quantity is over, please move the cursor to Information Box. Click on the left button of the

mouse and the Information Box of the Listing Window will roll upward automatically; on the

contrary, move the cursor to the Information Box on the top of Listing Window and click on the left

button of the mouse and Listing Window will roll downward.

12

Wizard Button:

When IP Wizard finds your IR IP Camera, Wizard button will become available. Please select the

device you would like to configure in the Information Box. The device will turn into yellow which

means this device is selected; please press “Wizard” button. Or you could double click the mouse

left key on the selected IR IP Camera. Relative settings will be carried out. Details of Install Wizard

will be specified as Section 2.6.

About Button:

When click “About” button, you will see the version information of IP Wizard shown in the pop-up

dialog box.

Exit Button:

Click “Exit” button will close the IP Wizard Program.

13

2.6 Configure With IP Wizard

After pressing Installation Wizard, please key in Username and Password of the device when login

dialog box appears on the screen. You can login the setup page if authorized name and password

is correct. Default username/password for machine login: admin/<no password>

Wizard Page 1: Username and Password

This page is about the change of the authorized user name and password of the selected device. If

you don’t want to change them, please click “Next” to move to the next page. Press “Exit” button if

you don’t want to set up right now. If you want to change authorized name or password, you have

to check the box in front of ID or New Password. Authorized Username should contain at least 5~

20 characters and New Password should contain at least 4~8 characters.

14

Wizard Page 2: LAN Setting

This page is about the select of Static IP or DHCP ON.

LAN: You can configure this IR IP Camera to obtain its address automatically or

manually assign. If there is a DHCP server in your network environment and

you select “DHCP ON”, IR IP Camera can automatically obtain an IP address.

If you don’t have DHCP server or you want to use fixed IP address, please

select “Static IP” and fill in the following fields with proper parameters.

IP Address: IP address is a unique number for identifies this device on the WAN or LAN.

These numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for

example: 192.168.0.200

Subnet Mask: Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the

network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP

subnets advance network security and performance to some level by

organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet masks contain four bytes and

usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For example, a very

common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111

11111111 00000000 will usually be shown in the corresponding, more

readable form as 255.255.255.0.

Def. Gateway: A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information

between networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to

an Internet site or when you're transient email between different servers.

DNS1: When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain such as

xxxxx.com, the domain name system translates the names into IP addresses.

The term refers to two things: the conventions for naming hosts and the way

the names are control across the Internet.

DNS2: The same function as DNS1. It is optional, not necessary

Note: If no IP address is assigned after 30 seconds, the IR IP Camera will work with its default IP

15

address 192.168.0.20. User may now open your web browser, and key in http://192.168.0.20 in

the address bar of your web browser to logon IR IP Camera’s web configuration page.

Wizard Page 3: Confirmation

This page shows the new configurations. If it is correct, please press “Submit” icon and the setting

information will be save to your IR IP Camera. Click on “Exit” to close this window.

16

2.7 UPnP Function
