Before You Use This Product 

The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. The 
Network Camera is not only a high-performance web-ready camera but also can be 
part of a flexible surveillance system. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the 
operation of such devices is legal before installing this unit for its intended use.   
 
It is important to first verify that all contents received are complete according to the 
list in the "Package Contents" chapter. Take notice of the warnings in “Quick 
installation guide” before the Network Camera is installed, then carefully read and 
follow the instructions in the “Installation” chapter to avoid damages due to faulty 
assembly and installation.  This also ensures the product is used properly as 
intended.    
 
The Network Camera is a network device and its use should be straightforward for 
those who have basic network knowledge.  The “Troubleshooting” chapter in the 
Appendix provides remedies to the most common errors in set up and configuration. 
You should consult this chapter first if you run into a system error.     
The Network Camera is designed for various applications including video sharing, 
general security/surveillance, etc.    The “How to Use” chapter suggests ways to best 
utilize the Network Camera and ensure proper operations. For the creative and 
professional developers, the "URL Commands of The Network Camera " chapter 
serves to be a helpful reference to customize existing homepages or integrating with 
the current web server.
