NAPCO iSeeVideo ISV WLHDCAM — Indoor HD Wireless IP Camera Installation Guide

Installation guide for the NAPCO iSeeVideo ISV WLHDCAM, an indoor 720P HD wireless IP camera designed exclusively for use with the NAPCO iSeeVideo VideoAlert.net server.

Overview

The NAPCO iSeeVideo system provides remote video internet monitoring of homes and businesses through a subscription-based account. The system consists of the ISV WLHDCAM camera, the ISV WAP Wireless Access Point, and the VideoAlert.net cloud server.

The ISV WLHDCAM delivers 1280x720 video viewable through the iSeeVideo server on virtually any computer at 20 fps (typical). A built-in PIR motion sensor triggers transmission of video clips to the server, and IR LED illumination supports night vision. The camera includes dynamic IP support through the iSeeVideo DNS network at no additional charge.

The ISV WAP allows instant configuration of the wireless camera without confusing multi-step enrollment. Simply plug the WAP into the customer's network and power up the cameras — they become fully operational and can be viewed through the iSeeVideo portal immediately, protected by default 128-bit encryption. Clicking the LOCK icon on the portal generates a new unique random 128-bit encrypted key for the best possible wireless security.

Specifications

Controls, Indicators & I/O

Front panel: light sensor, lens, PIR motion sensor, privacy button. Rear panel: RJ45 Ethernet, DC power, WPS button (not used), reset button, power LED, network LED, one D/I and one D/O terminal (D/I is normally-open input; D/O is an open-collector output for a relay or EOLR alarm zone terminal).

1. Configure the Network Connection

1. Connect the ISVWAP to the customer's router/network via Ethernet, and plug in the ISVWAP power adaptor.
2. Attach the antennas to the camera(s) and plug in the camera power adaptor.
3. No other steps are required — cameras automatically begin communicating with the iSeeVideo server.
4. Create the new iSeeVideo account and register the cameras (see below).

Securing the Wireless Network: After registering and viewing each camera, click "Secure Now!" next to the unlock icon — the camera sends a new unique 128-bit encrypted key to the WAP. Log back in afterward to confirm the icon shows locked.

2. Activating the iSeeVideo Account

1. Go to https://www.videoalert.net/ and click NEW ACTIVATION.
2. Enter the 8 or 12 character Camera ID Code printed on the back of the camera (format SC______ or 000E8F______). Click Next.
3. Enter your Company Dealer Admin ID and Password (Dealer Branding). Click Next.
4. Choose "Create Subscriber Account Now" for a single-camera system, then enter subscriber details (name, address, phone, User ID/Password). The User ID/Password created here becomes the Master User with administrative privileges.
5. Review the Confirmation screen and click Update to complete activation.
6. Log in at the Subscriber Login screen to test the account, landing on the "My Cameras" home screen.

The system supports a maximum of 5 users (including the Master User). Additional users can be added via My Account → Add a New User, with an option to authorize Live Video Review. Email Alert Settings lets you configure who receives notifications when a motion event triggers, with a customizable subject/body.

Adding or Replacing Cameras on an Existing Account

1. Return to the videoalert.net login screen and click NEW ACTIVATION.
2. Enter the new camera's ID Code and click Next.

5. Enter a description for the new device (or select the device being replaced), then Add Device.
6. "VIP Activation completed successfully!" confirms the process is done.

3. Configuring the ISV WLHDCAM

Configuration is optional for live viewing only; it's required to trigger motion events to the server.

Motion Detection

• Enable the PIR Motion Sensor separately, or combine both with the "AND" option for dual-technology triggering.
• Adjust sensitivity per zone with the threshold slider (0% = most sensitive, 100% = least).
• Set Pre-Capture and Post-Capture Length sliders to control how much video is stored before/after motion is sensed.
• Motion Detection can also be scheduled by day/time via Advanced Settings.
