2. Hardware Description and Quick Installation/Usage
The IP CAM is designed to be very easy to install and use. First, let's look at the
major components of the IP CAM.
2.1. Major Hardware Components
The major components on the front panel of the IP CAM products are the built-in
microphone, lens, IR LEDs, and status LEDs:
1. Microphone – for receiving audio/voice. Effective distance is about 16 feet (5
meters).
2. Lens – the focus of the lens is fixed, so you do not need to spend time to adjust
the focus. The effective focus range is from about 12" (30 cm) to infinity.
3. IR LEDs – there are a total of 11 IR LEDs, which can provide night vision out to
about 10m distance.
4. Light detector – the light detector determines the illumination level, allowing the IR
LEDs to be automatically activated in low-light conditions.
5. Status indication LED (red) – this LED indicates the Internet connection status.
When the Internet connection is working properly, the red LED will be steadily on.
If there is any Internet connection problem, the red LED will blink repeatedly.
6. Ethernet indication LED (blue) – this LED indicates whether the Ethernet link is ok
and packet traffic is being properly sent/received. When the Ethernet cable is
properly connected, the blue LED is steadily on. When Ethernet data packets are
being sent/received, the blue LED will blink.
