Hardware Installation
1. Use the provided L-wrench, loosen the tamper-resistant housing cover (with screws still attached on the cover). The unit has a factory installed side conduit entry and one may adjust the cables to back conduit entry according to installation requirement.
2. Set the mounting base onto the wall or ceiling and center it over the mounting hole, using the supplied four retaining screws to secure the main body.
3. Set the proper image by moving the camera body (some model may be limited by the PCB board to180°rotational adjustment) and set the focus by turning the lens to the left or right direction.
4. When the camera focus adjustment has been completed, use the provided L-wrench to fasten the tamper-resistant housing to the main body.
5. Once the picture appears on the monitor, open the cover and adjust the lens wrench to “TELE←→WIDE” of the lens, get the view zoom that you desire, and then adjust the
11/91
focus wrench to “NEAR←→FAR” of the lens to obtain the best clear picture. After adjustment, tighten both wrenches.
6. Must connect the LAN cable to Ethernet’s switch or hub and the DC-Jack to the power source. And connect the other cables and connectors if necessary.

Preparation
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.
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.
13/91
Network Camera User’s Guide
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.

Network Camera User’s Guide
Using UPnP of Windows® XP or Vista
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 or Vista, 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.
Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera automatically.
17/91
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 (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.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting.
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
Refer to Setting Î System Î System page for detail DIPS information.
18/91
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 Network
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:
That’s, type in “admin” on the “USERNAME” as a default name and leave PASSWORD
textbox blank. Click “OK” button to start the main menu.
19/91
3. According your browser’s security setting, the IE Web Page may prompt the
“Security Warning” window. If so, select “Yes” to install and run the ActiveX control into your PC. Otherwise, the system will load the ActiveX silently.
4. After the ActiveX control was installed and ran, the first image will be displayed.
Logging in as an User
If you log in the Camera as an ordinary User, “Setting” function will be not accessible.
Logging in as an Administrator
If you log in the Network Camera as the Administrator, you can perform all the settings provided within the device.
