User manual ENCORE ENVCWI-G2 ADVANCED INSTALLATION GUIDE V1.0

[. . . ] Encore Wireless IP Camera Advanced Installation Guide Version 1. 0 PREFACE Thank you for purchasing ENCORE Wireless MPEG4/MJPEG Wireless IP Camera, a powerful dual-codec wireless network camera with the 1-way or 2-way audio function that provides the high-quality image and on-the-spot audio via the Internet connection. The Infrared LEDs and light sensor (optional) enable the camera to capture images even in the dark environment. The camera can be installed as a standalone system within your application environment easily and quickly, and supports remote management function so that you can access and control it using a Web browser on your PC. This Advanced Installation Guide provides you with the instructions and illustrations on how to use your camera, which includes: Chapter 1 Introduction to Your Camera describes the features of the camera. [. . . ] The following table explains the four options: Open Shared-key WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK The default setting of Authentication mode, which communicates the key across the network. Allow communication only with other devices with identical WEP settings. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is specially designed for the users who do not have access to network authentication servers. The user has to manually enter the starting password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each PC on the wireless network. - 27 - If you select Open or Shared-key as the Authentication mode, you need to complete the following settings: Encryption: Select the WEP option to enable the data encryption feature to secure the camera within the wireless network. Format: Once you enable the Encryption feature, you need to determine the encryption format by selecting ASCII or HEX. ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value. Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16) notation. If you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK as the Authentication mode, you need to complete the following settings: Encryption: Select TKIP or AES. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10, 000 packets to insure much greater security than the standard WEP security. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is used to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information. Enter the name in the box, and this name must match the Pre-shared key value in the remote device. - 28 - 4. 5 Setting up Video & Audio The Video & Audio menu contains three sub-menus that provide the video and audio settings for the camera. - 29 - Video & Audio >> Camera Image Setting - Brightness: Adjust the brightness level from 0 ~ 100.

The higher setting (VGA) obtains better video quality while it uses more resource within your network. - Video Quality: Select the desired image quality from five levels: Lowest, Low, Medium, High, and Highest. [. . . ] Still other protocols dictate how data is transferred across the medium, and how servers respond to workstation requests and vice versa. Common network protocols responsible for the presentation and formatting of data for a network operating system are the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate the format of data for transferors the medium include token-passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD), implemented as token-ring, ARCNET, FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP), a part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the same network protocol. R RJ-45 Router RTP RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections. [. . . ]
