2.1 Search and Set up by IPWizard II

When you installed the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search your Cameras by IPWizard II or UPnP™ discovery. Here is the way to execute IPWizard II to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.

2.1.1 Search

When launch the IPWizard II, a searching window will pop up. IPWizard II is starting to search Network Cameras on the LAN. The existed devices will be listed as below.

AirLive OD-2050HD User’s Manual

2. Preparation

2.1.2 View

If IPWizard II finds network devices, View button will be available. Please select the device you want to view and click the View button. Then you could see the video from camera directly. Furthermore you could double click the left button of mouse to link to the network device by browser.

2.1.3 LAN

In case you want to change the IP related parameters of wired interface, please select the device you want to configure and click the LAN button. Relative settings will be carried out as below.

You could modify the relative settings of the selected device. Click “<<” button will quit the LAN setting procedure and click “>>” button will move to next page as below.

AirLive OD-2050HD User’s Manual

2. Preparation

In case, you do not want to change username and/or password, then just click “Submit” button to perform your setting accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous page. If you like to change username and/or password of the device, just click the check button. Then, the related fields will show up as below.

After keying in new username and password, click “Submit” button to perform your setting accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous page.

2.2 UPnP of Windows® XP, Vista or 7

UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, Vista or 7, of your PC is UPnP enabled, the Network Camera will be very easy to be found.

Please refer to Appendix J to enable UPnP settings only if your operating system of PC is running Windows XP.

Note: Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.

To discover your device, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places.

AirLive OD-2050HD User’s Manual

2. Preparation

Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera automatically.

2.3 Install the Device behind a NAT Router

Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup.

However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.

Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:

(1) Enable　 UPnP option of your NAT router (2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera (default)　 (3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS　

1. Enable UPnP option of your NAT router

To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.

AirLive OD-2050HD User’s Manual

2. Preparation

2. Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera

Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this option is default enabled.

2.4 Access the Device from the Internet Explorer for the First Time

1. Start the web browser on the computer and type the IP address of the Camera you

want to monitor as below:

The Login Window of the Camera is prompted:

2. Type in your login name and password under “USERNAME” and “PASSWORD”

textbox.

For the first time use (default value), input the User Name: admin Password: airlive

That’s type in “admin” on the “USERNAME” and “airlive” on the “PASSWORD”. Click “OK” button to start the main menu.

4.1 Network: Configure Network Settings

Use this menu to configure the network to connect the device and the clients.

4.1.1 Network

This section provides the menu for connecting the device through Ethernet cable.

 MAC address Displays the Ethernet MAC address of the device. Note that user can not change it.

 Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP) DHCP: Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the network to issue IP address assignment. With this setting, the IP address is assigned automatically. If this device can not get an IP address within limited tries, the device will assign a default IP address, 192.168.0.100, by itself as the default IP address.

 IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway If you do not select Obtain an IP address automatically, then you need to enter these network parameters manually.

 Obtain DNS from DHCP DNS: Stands for Domain Name System. Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the network and provide DNS service.

AirLive OD-2050HD User’s Manual

4. Administrating the Device

 Primary DNS and Secondary DNS If you do not select Obtain DNS from DHCP, then you need to enter these parameters manually.

 HTTP Port The device supports two HTTP ports. The first one is default port 80 and this port is fixed. This port is very useful for Intranet usage. The second HTTP port is changeable. Users could assign the second port number of http protocol, and the WAN users should follow the port number to login. If the http port is not assigned as 80, users have to add the port number in back of IP address. For example: http://192.168.0.100:8080.

Therefore, the user can access the device by either http://xx.xx.xx.xx/, or http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/ to access the device.

If multiple devices are installed on the LAN and also required to be accessed from the WAN, then the HTTP Port can be assigned as the virtual server port mapping to support multiple devices.

Click “OK” to save and enable the setting.

4.1.2 HTTPS

User can enable HTTPS for securing the video data if he enabled the HTTPS function.

AirLive OD-2050HD User’s Manual

4. Administrating the Device

 HTTPS Enable/Disable Use this function to enable or disable the HTTPS function.

 HTTP&HTTPS or HTTPS only User can choose to use both HTTP and HTTPS concurrently, or just use HTTPS as the access method.

 Port Specify the TCP port for the HTTPS.

4.1.3 DDNS Service

DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your device over the Internet. One of the possible solutions to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.

A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet. One such service you can use is www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it. Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed instructions or refer to Appendix G for more information.

If your device is connected to xDSL directly, you might need this feature. However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature because your NAT router should take care of this job. As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic IP addresses. If users want to set up a web or a FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary.
