Also included in the user's manual are the operating procedures for the IPView SE application. 6 Thank you for purchasing either the HNC300 Network Camera or the HNC320G Wireless-G Network Camera. The HNC300 connects directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The HNC320G can also connect directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network, but also supports the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless standard. The HNC300 Series (the collective title for the HNC300 & HNC320G models) network cameras are different from conventional PC cameras in that they are standalone systems with built-in CPUs and web servers. Therefore, they connect directly to the local area network (LAN) and do not need to be connected to a designated PC. Thus, they provide a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring and surveillance. The network cameras can be managed remotely, and can be accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over the LAN or Internet using only a web browser. The simple installation procedures and web-based interface offer easy integration to your network application environments. 7 HNC300 & HNC320G Network: Local Area Network (HNC300 & HNC320G): 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base TX Fast Ethernet Wireless Local Area Network (HNC320G): IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless LAN \ Recommended PC or Notebook to Access the HNC300 & HNC320G: For Web Browser Users Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP CPU: Pentium II, 266 MHz or above Memory Size: 32 MB (64 MB recommended) VGA card resolution: 800x600 or above Internet Explorer 5.0 or above (ActiveX & JAVA Mode ­ Image View for Windows OS and JAVA Mode ­ Image View for other OS) Netscape 6.0 or above (JAVA Mode ­ Image View) IPView SE Application: Supported Operating Systems: Win 98 SE, Win 2000, Win Me, Win XP System requirements for IPView SE: CPU: Pentium III, 450 MHz or above Memory Size: 128 MB (256 MB recommended) VGA card resolution: 800x600 or above 8 This section describes the features and benefits of the HNC300 Network Camera & HNC320G Wireless-G Network Camera. Simple to Use The HNC300 and HNC320G are standalone systems with built-in CPUs, and thus, require no special hardware or software such as PC frame grabber cards. The HNC300 and HNC320G support both ActiveX mode for Internet Explorer and Java mode for Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Therefore, all that is required is web browser software such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape 6.0 or above. All you need is a valid IP address to view the picture from your network camera. Supports a Variety of Platforms The HNC300 & HNC320G both support TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related protocols. Both models can be utilized in mixed operating system environments such as Windows, Unix, and Mac. They can easily be integrated into other Internet/Intranet applications. Web Configuration Using a standard web browser, the administrator can configure and manage the HNC300 or HNC320G directly from its own web page via the web. HNC300 The administrator can set up to 8 usernames and passwords via the privilege settings. HNC320G The administrator can set up to 64 usernames and passwords via the privilege settings. Remote Utility The powerful IPView SE application assigns the administrator a pre-defined user ID and password through which, he/she can modify the HNC300/HNC320G settings from a remote site via the Intranet or Internet. For added convenience, when new firmware becomes available, the administrator can also upgrade remotely over the network. Users are also allowed to monitor the images and take snapshots. Broad Range of Applications Using today's high-speed Internet services, the HNC300 and HNC320G network cameras can provide an ideal high performance, cost-effective solution that delivers live video images over the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring and surveillance. The network cameras allow remote access from a web browser for live image viewing. They also allow administrators to manage and control the network cameras anytime from anywhere in the world. You can set up the network cameras to monitor various objects and locations such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-care centers, amusement parks and a variety of other industrial and public areas. The network cameras can also be used for intruder detection, still image capture for archiving, and many other applications. 9 HNC300 This section describes the externally visible features of the HNC300. Front Panel Link LED Power LED Power LED The "Power" LED is located to the right of the camera's lens (when facing the camera). A steady blue light confirms that the camera is powered on. Note: The "Power" LED has three settings with which to control the light illumination while monitoring: Normal / Off / Dummy. Please refer to the "Web Configuration" section for detailed information and usage. Link LED The "Link" LED is located on the far right side of the network camera's lens (when facing the network camera). It is located to the right of the "Power" LED. A steady orange light confirms a good connection. Depending on the data traffic, the LED will begin to flash to indicate that the camera is receiving/transmitting from/to the network. Note: The "Link" LED has three settings with which to control the light illumination while monitoring: Normal / Off / Dummy. Please refer to the "Web Configuration" section for detailed information and usage. 10 Rear Panel 10/100 Ethernet Reset DC 5V DC Power Connector Ethernet Cable Port Reset Button Network Cable Connector The rear panel of the network camera features an RJ-45 connector for 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet connections (using Category 5 twisted-pair cabling). The port supports the N-Way protocol and the "Auto-MDIX" function, thereby allowing the network camera to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network. DC Power Connector The DC power input connector is located on the rear panel of the network camera and is labeled DC 5V with a single jack socket to supply power to the camera. Power will be generated when the power supply is connected to a wall outlet. Reset Button Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and the "Power" LED begins to flash. Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed continuously for at least three seconds or when the "Power LED" begins to light up. Release the reset button and the "Power" LED will begin to flash, indicating that the network camera is utilizing the factory reset. When factory reset is completed, the IP address will return to the default setting of 192.168.0.20. 11 Top Panel Screw Hole Located on the top panel of the network camera, the screw hole is used to connect the camera stand onto the camera by attaching the screw head on the camera stand into the screw hole of ...
