Chapter 2 Network
Connection and
Setup
Before you start:
If you want to set up the network camera via LAN, please refer to the Section 2.1
Setting up the Network Camera over the LAN.
If you want to set up the network camera via WAN, please refer to the Section
2.2 Setting up the Network Camera over the WAN.
2.1 Setting up the Network Camera over
the LAN
Purpose:
To view and configure the camera via LAN(Local Area Network), you need to connect
the network camera in the same subnet with your PC. Then install Aventura CWS
software to search and configure the IP of the network camera.
2.1.1 Wiring over the LAN
The following figures show the two ways of the cable connection of a network
camera and a PC:
Purpose:
To test the network camera, you can directly connect the network camera to the
computer with a network cable as shown in Figure 2-1.
Refer to the Figure 2-2, if you want to set up the network camera over the LAN.
Figure 2-1 Connecting Directly

Network Camera User Manual
Figure 2-2 Connecting via a Switch or Router
2.1.2 Detecting and changing the IP address
You need the IP address to visit the network camera.
Steps:
1. To get the IP address, you can choose either of the following methods:
Use the network device auto-detect feature in Aventura CWS. It can
automatically detect network cameras in the LAN and list device
information like IP address, subnet mask, port number, device serial
number, device version, etc.
Use CWS software and show the online devices. Please refer to the user
manual of client software for detailed information.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as of your PC.
For the details on Aventura CWS, please refer to the Aventura CWS Software
Manual.
3. Then you can enter the IP address of network camera in the address field of the
web browser to view the live video.
Note:
The default value of the IP address is “192.0.0.64” and the port number is “8000”.
The default user name is “admin”, and password is “12345”.
For accessing the network camera from different subnets, please set the gateway
for the network camera after you log in.

Network Camera User Manual
2.2 Setting up the Network Camera over
the WAN
Purpose:
This section explains how to connect the network camera to the WAN(Wide Area
Network). Skip this section if you don't need to connect the camera to the WAN.
2.2.1 Static IP Connection
Before you start:
Apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider).
With the static IP address, you can connect the network camera via a router or
connect it to the WAN directly.
Connecting the network camera via a router
Steps
:
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to the Section
2.1.2 Detecting and changing the IP address for detailed IP address configuration
of the camera.
3. Save the static IP in the router.
4. Set up port mapping, E.g., 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port
mapping vary depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer
for assistance with port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about Port Mapping.
5. Then you can visit the network camera through a web browser or client software
via the internet.
Figure 2-3 Accessing IPC through Router with Static IP
Saving the static IP in the network camera
Save the static IP in the network camera. You can directly connect the network
camera to the internet without using a router. Refer to the Section 2.1.2 Detecting
and changing the IP address for detailed IP address configuration of the camera.

2.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection
Before you start:
Apply a dynamic IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider).
With the dynamic IP address, you can connect the network camera to a modem or a
router.
Connecting the network camera via a router
Steps:
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer
to the Section 2.1.2 Detecting and changing the IP address for detailed LAN
configuration.
3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4. Set up port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port
mapping vary depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer
for assistance with port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about Port Mapping.
5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the network camera via a modem
Purpose:
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP
address by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to
configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera.
Figure 2-5 Accessing IPC through PPPoE Dial-up
Steps:

Network Camera User Manual
1. Access the network camera through the local area network with web browser or
client software.
2. Configure the PPPOE settings. Input the PPPoE user name, password and confirm
the password. Refer to the Section Error! Reference source not found. Error!
Reference source not found. for detailed configuration.
3. Then, the network camera obtains an IP address from the ISP.
Purpose:
However, the obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP
address always changes after the rebooting.
To solve the inconvenience of dynamic IP, you can get a domain name from the DDNS
provider. E.g. DynDns.com.
Domain name resolution contains normal domain name resolution and private
domain name resolution.
Normal Domain Name Resolution
Figure 2-6 Normal Domain Name Resolution
Steps:
1. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
2. Configure the DDNS settings in the DDNS Settings interface of the network
camera. Refer to the Section Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference
source not found. for detailed configuration.
3. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Private Domain Name Resolution
