1 1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the SkyIPCam310 PoE Network Camera, a camera device that can

be connected directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. Compared to the conventional

PC Camera, the SkyIPCam310 features a built-in CPU and web-based solutions that can

provide a cost-effective solution to transmit real-time high-quality video images and sounds for

monitoring. It can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over

the Intranet or Internet via a web browser.

The simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow you to integrate it into your

network easily. The camera features Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing you to

install and use it in an environment where is without power supply. In addition, with

comprehensive applications supported, the SkyIPCam310 is your best solution for remote

monitor, high quality, and high performance video images.

The SkyIPCam310 is a standalone system with built-in CPU requiring no special hardware or

software such as PC frame grabber cards. The SkyIPCam310 supports both ActiveX mode (for

Internet Explorer users) and Java mode (for Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator users).

Therefore, all that is required is a web browser software such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above

or Netscape 6.0 or above. Just plug and view the picture from your SkyIPCam310 with a valid

IP Address.

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af standard) eliminates the need of 110/220 AC power

for the wired LAN devices. With this innovative technology, the network manager can deploy

these Ethernet-powered devices using only a single CAT5 Ethernet cable that carries both

power and data to each device. This enables the user to build a network with greater flexibility

in the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) environments.

The SkyIPCam310 supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related

protocols, and can be utilized in a mixed operating system environment such as Windows, Unix,

and Mac. It can be integrated easily into other www/Intranet applications.

Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure and manage the

SkyIPCam310 directly from its own web page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 32 username s

and passwords are permitted with privilege setting controlled by the administrator.

The pin 1 & 2 of the I/O connectors are used for RS-485 data transmission. You can connect a

special featured device (such as an external camera stand with rotation function) to meet you
