The new PT10QR removes all the difficulties of viewing your IP Cameras over the internet—connect to your camera with your smartphone anywhere in the world without the confusing configuration of Dynamic DNS Servers or Port forwarding! Simply scan the provided QR code on your phone and you will be instantly connected to your camera. As if the ease of viewing was not enough, the ability to remotely Pan and Tilt the camera view provides a level of coverage a static camera never could!
If your network goes down, or your internet is not always connected, recording of Motion Triggered events can still take place, recording directly to any installed Micro SD Card (up to 32GB; not supplied). You can later browse the recorded videos or images for review via your home network without the need to remove the card!
Night-time surveillance can often be a big problem with other IP cameras. Some may attempt to solve this problem with the addition of IR Illumination however this can result in falsely coloured day-time images. The PT10QR not only features Automatic IR Illumination (activating at low light levels) with a range up to 5m, but also automatically adjusts the sensor’s colour filter, resulting in the best image quality at both day- and night-time! Along with the HD Video capture, and H.264 video encoding, your captured images and video will always be the highest quality!

Connect camera with Ethernet and view with Smartphone
[Expand]
- Connect the camera to your router with the supplied Ethernet cable
- Connect the power to the camera
- While the boot-up sequence is taking place, download “IPCloud” iPhone or Android app to your smartphone
- You may need to side-load the Android app if you can’t find it. Use the .apk file found on the supplied software CD
- Wait for the self-test pan/tilt sequence to finish
- Load the IPCloud app
- Add a new camera:
- If your phone is connected to the same network as your PT10QR then you may already see it listed in the "Cameras Found" list—select the camera to add it.
- If no cameras are automatically found, or if your phone is not connected to the same network, simply press "QR Code" to scan the code on the bottom of the camera!
- Give the camera a name if you wish, eg: Lounge, Office, Deck etc and enter the password for the Camera (default password: 123456)
- Congratulations, you can now view your camera from anywhere in the world on your phone!
- You can pan/tilt by swiping the direction you want the camera to move.
Advanced settings:
- Load the IPCloud app on your smartphone.
- At the "Camera List" page, press the arrow marker for the camera you want to change the settings for
- You can rename your camera here, or fix the password if you have entered it incorrectly previously
- Press "Advanced Setting"
- Security Code — allows you to change the access password (recommended after first setup)
- Video Quality — improve picture at the cost of performance; reduce picture quality to gain performance

- Ensure your WiFi router is on and is ready to accept new devices.
- Ensure your camera is powered on and has finished the self-test sequence
- Press the WPS button on your Wireless Router
- Press the Reset button on the camera for 2-5 seconds
- Your camera should now connect to your WiFi network
- Download “IPCloud” iPhone or Android app to your smartphone

- You can pan/tilt by swiping the direction you want the camera to move.
Manage / view your camera via your PC

The following instructions assume you have already configured your camera’s network/Wi-Fi settings correctly and the PC you are trying to connect from is on the same network (subnet) as your camera.
If your computer is on the same network as your PT10QR, you will not have to configure any port forwarding but you will have to determine the IP address of your camera; this is easily done using the supplied HMSearch software found on the supplied CD.
- Power up the camera and wait for the self-test to finish
- Load the "HMSearch_en.exe" application and click "Search"
- If you do not find your camera, ensure the correct network adapter has been selected in the drop-down box under "Local PC Information"
- Alternatively check that your router has DHCP enabled
- Select your camera from the device list
- To view/manage your camera from your web-browser, click the "Browse" button
- You will be required to install QuickTime Player to view your camera in your browser
There is a wide range of settings available to you via the web-UI including the camera WiFi network setup, and Automatic Dynamic DNS host settings. Click "Setup" on the camera homepage to access these settings.
To view your camera on a computer that is outside of your LAN (Local Area Network), you will have to setup Port Forwarding on your router connected to the internet. This is router dependant and we cannot support this process. Please seek advice from your router manual or manufacturer for information on this process.
If setting up Port Forwarding, the port you will require forwarded will be "Http Port" listed under "Device Information" in the HMSearch software. If you have multiple cameras you may wish to manually set the port for each camera to be unique. To change the Http Port of a camera:
- Power up the camera and wait for the self-test to finish
- Load the "HMSearch_en.exe" application and click "Search"
- Select the camera you wish to change the port for
- Change the Http Port by typing it in, or clicking the up/down buttons
- Enter your account details (default user: admin, default password: 123456)
- Click Update—your camera will now restart with the new settings applied (you may lose access if you had a browser window already open and old bookmarks/links may need to be updated with the new port number)
