Step 5: After changing the IP address, click the "Apply" button in the "USB Configuration”

window.

Step 6: A message pops up asking you to affirm the action as "OK".

Step 10: If you can see the images, it means the IP setting is complete.

5. Scan IP Camera through “My Network Place”

Step 1: After your installation and starting services, the UPnP protocol will take effect. You can

scan all IP Cameras in My Network Place.

Step 2: Just double click the IP Camera icon, and the video live stream will pop up

automatically without assigning any IP address in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

6. Change the IP Camera's control and operational settings.

Step 1: Type in the IP address in the IE Browser. You will now see the IP camera' images.

Step 2: Use the buttons below the images to enter any other operational settings pages.

Step 3: When you change any setting, please don't forget to click the "Submit” button in each

page.

NOTE: Enable DHCP Function: This function can only work if the LAN, which the unit is

connected to, has a DHCP server. If the DHCP server is working, the IP Camera
will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP serv er.

NOTE: When only one unit of the IP Camera is connected to a comp uter or LAN, you can

freely assign an IP address for the IP Camera. For example, there is a range of IP
Camera IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use
from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the
settings as default.
When an IP Camera is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique,
permanent IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings
according to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding
those settings, please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
