GlobalGuard Wireless Indoor
IP Camera
Installation and Operating Manual
2
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START
DECLARATION
Novar ED&S hereby declares that the wireless IP camera is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of the R&TTE directive (1999/5/EC).
Your camera’s unique “MAC ID” is printed on a small label applied to the rear of the camera.
You will need this to view the camera. You can also copy the “MAC ID” to page 25 of
this manual for security record purposes
Please also store this manual away in a safe place for future reference.
System requirements:
PC Operation System: Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7
Internet Explorer 6.x or higher Internet Web Browser
(Note: The IP camera requires IE Explorer for viewing the video
CPU: Pentium 4, 1GHz or above
VGA Card Resolution: 800x600 or above
Video Memory Size: 128Mb or above
Internet bandwidth: 512kbps recommended upload speed per camera
SD card for recording: Minimum 2GB/Maximum 32GB
Note: This camera requires a
GlobalGuard wireless alarm system to be set up in
advance. Please ensure that you already have the system set up in advanced and have
created an online web account.
Installation notes and tips:
Always follow manufacturers advise when using power tools, steps, ladders, etc and
wear protective equipment (e.g, safety goggles and gloves) when drilling holes, etc.
When using ladders ensure they are positioned on a firm stable surface at an angle and
suitably secured. Check for hidden electricity wires or water pipes before drilling any
holes. If in doubt use a cable/pipe locator.
This camera is designed for indoor dry use only. After drilling any holes through a wall
for a cable(s), ensure the hole is sealed up using a suitable sealant to prevent drafts.
To prevent a fire or electrical shock hazard, do not attempt to open the housing. Do not
expose the camera to weathering.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Please read before you start:
Always use discretion when installing CCTV equipment especially when there is
3
perceived policy. Enquire regarding local applications to the lawful installation of
video recording/surveillance. Third party consent may be required.
The camera should be position in view of a security detector such as a PIR movement detector
or a door/window contact detector. This is because the camera has the ability to record video
after a detector has been triggered by an intruder provided the camera has been setup with
same location setting as the security detector(s).
The open field wireless operating range of the camera is approximately 100m. The amount by
which the wireless range will reduce depends on the obstruction between the camera and your
wireless router:
Wall Type Range Reduction
Dry-lined partition wall: 10 - 30%
Single layer brick wall: 20 - 40%
Double layer brick wall: 30 - 70%
Metal panel/radiator: 90 - 100%
Note: The effect on the range of multiple walls is cumulative, i.e. if there are 2 brick walls in the
way, the range will be reduced by up to 40% by each wall.

First ensure that your broadband router is wireless (Wifi) enabled. Write down the wireless
security parameters, including the SSID, security type, encryption protocols and the “key”
values (refer to below for details). This information can also be obtained from the settings in
your PC or smartphone.
In order to use the wireless network, you need to fill in the following fields:
1. Wireless Network – this is the name of the wireless network of your wireless router (SSID)
2. Security type – You need to choose one of the followings: None, WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK
3. WEP mode – when the WEP mode is chosen, you need also choose between 64-bit (5
char), 64-bit (10 hex), 128-bit (13 char) and 128-bit (26 hex) encryption mode, and then fill
the WEP key correctly.
4. WPA-PSK mode - when the WPA-PSK mode is chosen, you need also choose between
TKIP and AES encryption mode, and then fill the WPA-PSK key correctly. WPA2-PSK is
also supported. But WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise is not supported.
2) Enter the wireless settings on the web page.
Using your PC launch the Internet Explorer browser and go to
“
https://GlobalGuard.Friedland.co.uk
Note: The wireless network chosen for each camera must be on the same local network
as the IP gateway to ensure the IP Gateway is able to activate the video recording when
triggered.
”. Click on and then “IP CAM Settings” to
enter the camera settings page. Select the camera you added earlier from the “Camera Info”
item. Then enter a name for your camera (optional), enable the Wifi function, select the audio
feature to enable sound to be heard and enter the wireless settings information as requested on
the page. All the fields in this page must be filled correctly with the same settings the wireless
router. (Figure 2-1 on next page).

Click on “Apply” to save the changes. Wait approximately 1 minute to allow for the wireless
settings to save to the camera before proceeding to the next step.
3) Unplug the Ethernet cable
The wireless connection between the camera and router will begin when you unplug the
Ethernet cable connecting your camera and router (Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2: Unplug the Ethernet cable to enable the wireless (WiFi) connection
The camera will detect the Ethernet cable unplugged and start the wireless connection. During
this period the LEDs on the camera will toggle. All the LEDs will turn off and the camera will

restart. The wireless connection will be successfully established when the blue Ethernet LED
blinks and the Status LED remains red.
After the wireless connection is established, the camera will connect to the Internet
immediately.
If you need to relocate the camera in another location of your home, first unplug the
power supply adaptor of the camera from the wall socket. Locate the camera to the
required location and power the adaptor on again. If locating much further away from
the wireless router, use a WiFi enabled laptop or your Smartphone’s display to check
the signal strength of the wireless (WiFi) connection in that location. Check the video
from the live view web page can also be seen as a test. If wall/ceiling mounting, ensure a
power socket is located near the camera’s power adaptor.
Note: If you want to switch back to the wired Ethernet connection, just plug in the Ethernet
cable into camera again. Also it may be that if the wireless connection between the camera and
router is poor due to obstructions in your home, you may require a wired connection, i.e a
longer Ethernet cable than the one supplied
2.2. Wireless connection (if your router has a WPS button)
If your router or has a WPS button, then there are only three simple steps that you need to do to
establish a wireless connection with your router:
Note: If this function does not automatically work with the WPS function on your router
then follow the above process 2.1
1. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the camera.
2. Press and release the WPS button on the router. Press and release the WPS button on the
camera within one minute.
3. The yellow/blue/red leds on the camera will begin toggling. The toggling should stop within
one minute and the blue led should turn on to indicate a wireless connection is established.

3. Hardware Installation on wall/ceiling
(1) Use the bracket as a template to mark the position of fixing holes on the wall/ceiling. (Figure
3-1a & 3-1b)
Figure 3-1a
Figure 3-1b
(2) Drill the holes using a 5mm drill and mount the bracket using the supplied wall plugs and
screws. Alternatively use other suitable fixings for plasterboard walls/ceilings if required.
