26. The video seems a little dark when the IP Cam is used inside the house, how could I improve this?
You can increase the “Low light sensitivity” in the “video settings” page either through web configuration or
through LiveView settings to “High” or “Very high”. This will tremendously improve the video quality in dark
environment. Another model of our IP Cam products PIC1005WN with IR led inside could help on some of the
very tough environment even in wholly darkness. But please be noticed that when the IR led is turned on in the
dark room, the video will be black and white only.
27. Can I connect the IP Camera directly to my PC/notebook with an Ethernet cable?
If the IP Camera is directly connected to your PC/notebook computer using an Ethernet cable, the IP Camera will
automatically use an IP address called “auto IP” with IP address 169.254.xxx.xxx. If your PC/notebook computer is
configured to DHCP, it will also use an “auto IP” address. But this will take about one minute after the IP Camera is
connected to the computer and you need to make sure that the WiFi interface on your PC/notebook computer is
disabled. After about one minute, you can run the LiveView Software to access the IP Camera; the CAM ID should
be displayed on the “auto-search” list. You can then see the video by double clicking the CAM ID icon. But you
need to know that in this situation, other local or remote computer cannot see the video.
