First access to NetworKam
Through direct connection by null modem cable administrators can open the default web browser and type in 200.1.1.1 as the address and press enter. Note that 200.1.1.1 will be the default IP address in a dial-in connection and 200.1.1.100 will be the given IP address for the users PC by NetworKam. The user name and password are the same as what was entered during installation
basic configurations. If people other than the administrator will be allowed to use NetworKam, the administrator should add these user profiles in the Security option. When NetworKam accepts dial-in connection and acts as a server, the user name and password used in dialing are the same as what was stored in the user database managed for web access. Any managed user can be authorized during PPP negotiation and access web pages. However only administrators can access the configuration page
How to Use
Authentication
If it is initial access to NetworKam in Windows, the web browser will ask to install a new plug-in that is provided by NetworKam. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to display the

subnet mask may differ from the default value 255.255.255.0 and service providers may assign some specific network settings. Administrators should change the configuration according to what is given by the service provider. The configuration may include IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Router, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS. After changing network settings, be sure to leave Reset network at next boot blank to skip installation when the system restarts. Otherwise the settings will be erased
the client side will receive the poor quality of media. For improving this situation, you can check the “Improve audio quality in low bandwidth environment” item. It can make the audio quality better, but the media delay is longer and real-time issue is bad. If the network performance is worst, please select the ”UDP protocol“ as the communication protocol in “client setting”
Video codec parameters
IP3111/IP3121 uses MPEG4 codec compression for best streaming solution. The compressed video data is far less than JPEG in normal cases but it still depends on the level of difference between every two sequential images. There are three dependent parameters provided for adjustment. Maximum Frame Rate limits the maximal refresh frame rate that can be combined with the Video Quality Control to optimize the bandwidth utilization and video quality. If users want to fix the bandwidth utilization regardless of the video quality, choose Fix Bit Rate and select the desired bandwidth. The video quality may be poor in order to send maximal frames within the limited bandwidth when images change drastically. Consequently to ensure the video quantization rate regardless of the bandwidth, it will utilize more bandwidth to send the maximal frames when images change drastically
To adjust image settings for best visual quality, press and a motion picture window will pop up for your reference. There are four fields including Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation for video compensation. . Each field has eleven levels ranged from -5 to +5. The user may

minutes will force NetworKam to drop the connection when there is no activity on the connection for the specific period. The range of this period is from 1 to 240 minutes, with 0 indicating a continuous connection. Administrators may let NetworKam keep the connection for a while to allow connections from outside. The IP address given by the ISP can be taken from the connection log that is mailed or uploaded when dial-up connection is successful. Setting the value to zero will make NetworKam always keep the connection
Application
The other Event operation can be used to combine motion detection with devices attached to digital input, to drive devices attached to digital output, or send out snapshots for evidence. It helps users establish an easy security system. Administrators may choose any combination of conditions to form special applications according to their personal needs. NetworKam will continuously monitor the channel and digital input every half second. Once the user-defined conditions are matched, NetworKams will capture three stages of events and react based on the Trigger action settings. The post-event snapshot can be configured to be delayed after events happen according to the setting in Take snapshot at seconds after event. The three stages of snapshots will be VPRE.JPG, VTRG.JPG and VPOS.JPG. Since the same event may exist for a while, administrators can set delay time in Delay seconds before detecting next event to reduce multiple triggers by the same event
