Overview
The LevelOne WCS-6020 / WCS-6050 is a quality yet cost-effective surveillance
solution for the home and office. It is designed for easy and flexible installation,
provides a choice of either a 150Mbps wireless or wired connection and a WPS
(Wi-Fi protected setup) button to secure the wireless connection with just the
push of a button, and the motorized Pan and Tilt provides a viewing angle of
±355° pan and ±135° tilt. Equipped with a 2/5-Megap ixel sensor and built-in IR
cut filter/IR illuminator LEDs, the camera provides high resolution quality and
sharp sensitivity – ideal for security applications both day and night.
The WCS-6020 is equipped with many advanced features such as Level1DNS™
Service, DI/DO for external alarm and sensor, a SD/SDHC card slot and USB
interface for local storage, built-in microphone and external speaker for 2-way
audio communications. Moreover, users can also set up 16 motion-detection
regions with the camera, each with adjustable size and sensitivity. When motion
is detected at the specified regions, the system can send an E-mail alert or send
captured images via FTP upload to a designated storage server. The WCS-6020
is indisputably the top choice for reliable and high performance surveillance.
Law in your country may prohibit the use of surveillance devices. 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.

Client Setting
1. Video output setting: Set video output format.
- Stream: Select use multiple stream video.
- Picture: Select use serial video picture.
2. Internet Protocol Options: Set internet protocol.
- UDP: Select to use UDP protocol.
- TCP: Select to use TCP protocol.
- HTTP: Select to use HTTP protocol.
3. Intranet Protocol Options: Set intranet protocol.
- UDP: Select to use UDP protocol.
- TCP: Select to use TCP protocol.
- HTTP: Select to use HTTP protocol.
NOTE：
：：
：Protocol options allow choices on the connection protocol between client
and server. There are three protocols choices to optimize your usage – UDP, TCP,
HTTP.
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However,
some packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be
obscured.
Network Camera User’s Manual
22/54
The HTTP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate
video display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse
than that with the UDP protocol.
The TCP guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides
better video quality. However, the real-time effect is not as good as that of the
UDP protocol.
If no special need is required, UDP protocol is recommended. Generally
speaking, the client choice will be in the order of UDP → HTTP. After the
Network Camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Option” will indicate the
selected protocol. The selected protocol will be recorded in the user's PC and will
be used for the next connection. If the network environment is changed, or the
user wants to let the web browser to detect again, manually select the UDP and
TCP protocol, save, and return HOME to re-connect.

the network?
A3: There are two way to set up the IP camera at Internet.
(1) By UPnP Port Forwarding
1. Select an IP router. It must support UPnP port forwarding and enable this
function first.
2. Connect camera RJ45 cable to IP router and the router is also connected to
Internet.

Please remove or stop the kind software.
Q4: What is the default name and password of administrator?
A4: The name is root and the password is <blank>.
Q5: How can I find the network camera in the local area network?
A5: By using the CamFinder program in the CD or using UPnP to find it.
Q6: CamFinder cannot find Network Camera in the local area network at
Network Camera User’s Manual
51/54
first time?
A6: Make sure the subnet of network camera is same as your PC. If the local
area network supports DHCP, the camera is “Get IP address automatically” in
the “Network” page default. If the local area network does not support DHCP,
change your PC IP address to “192.168.0.xxx”.
Q7: How can I restore the network camera to default value?
A7: Use a gem clip to press on the inside button until the led flashing. After three
cycles of the flashing, the network camera begins to restore default value.
Q8: Infrared led does not light up?
A8: Check「Configuration>Audio and Video>Infrared LED Control」 is Auto or
Manual. Turn on.
Q9: The network camera cannot focus accurately.
A9:
(1) The lens is dirty or dust is attached. Clean the lens with lens cleaner. And
then adjust the camera focus manually.
(2) The image may be out of focus. If the object is too near, move the object
away from Network Camera.
Q10: The cover of network camera is warm. Is it normal?
A10: Network camera is a precision device. The internal material has the
operational temperature, and it is normal when user touch the cover feels warm.
It is recommended to put the network camera at aired place and away from any
other device.

possible interference is (1) the direction of antenna (2) the material and
architecture of building (3) the temperature of environment (4) the position of the
network camera.
Q12: The process of upgrade firmware aborted.
A12: Contact your dealer for further help.
Q13: Cannot access the login page and other web pages of Network
Camera from Internet Explorer
A13:
• May be due to the network cable. Try correcting your network cable and
configuration. Test the network interface by connecting a local computer to the
Network Camera via a crossover cable.
• Make sure the Internet connection and setting is ok.
• Make sure enter the IP address of Internet Explorer is correct. If Network
Camera has a dynamic address, it may have changed since you last checked it.
• Network congestion may prevent the web page appearing quickly. Wait for a
while.
The IP address and Subnet Mask of the PC and Network Camera must be in the
same class of the private IP address on the LAN.
• Make sure the http port used by the Network Camera, default=80, is forward to
the Network Camera’s private IP address.
• The port number assigned in your Network Camera might not be available via
Internet. Check your ISP for available port.
• The proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to Network Camera,
set up not to use the proxy server.
• Confirm that Default Gateway address is correct.
• The router needs Port Forwarding feature. Refer to your router's manual for
details.
• Packet Filtering of the router may prohibit access from an external network.
Refer to your router's manual for details.
• Access Network Camera from the Internet with the global IP address of the
router and port number of Network Camera.
• Some routers reject the global IP address to access Network Camera on the
same LAN. Access with the private IP address and correct port number of
Network Camera.
• When you use DDNS, you need to set Default Gateway and DNS server
address.
• If it’s not working after above procedure, reset Network Camera to default
setting and installed it again.
• Maybe the IP Address of the Network Camera is already being used by another
device or computer.
• If the problem is not solved, the Network Camera might be faulty. Contact your
dealer for further help.
