5. Camera Connection

Basic Connection (Without PoE)

1. To attach external devices, such as sensors and alarms, connect them to the
extension I/O terminal block.

2. Connect the camera to a switch using an Ethernet cable.

3. Connect the supplied power cable to the camera and plug it into a power
outlet.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Connection

The FB-100A is PoE compliant, so there are two options for connecting the
camera to a power and Ethernet source. The camera can either be connected to
a PoE-enabled switch or a non-PoE switch.

A. If using a PoE-enabled switch:

1. Use a single Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the PoE-enabled
switch.

B. If using a non-PoE switch:

1. Use a standard RJ-45 cable to connect the camera to a PoE Injector.

2. Use a standard RJ-45 cable to connect the PoE Injector to the non-PoE

switch.

3. Use a standard power cable to connect the PoE Injector to a power outlet.

6. Setup the Network Camera

1. Insert the Installation CD into the CD-ROM driver. Run Auto-Run Tool
directly from the CD-ROM to start the installation. When installing the
Brickcom software kit for the first time, select a desired language for the
interface. The available languages are listed in the scroll box. Click
<Install> and follow the steps to install the EasyConfig wizard on the
desired computer.

Please follow the instruction of the InstallShield Wizard to finish the
Brickcom Software Kit installation.

2. To launch EasyConfig or PC-NVR Standard, select the application and
click <Finish>. When launching the PC-NVR program, please refer to
the PC-NVR user manual.

EasyConfig

To launch EasyConfig, select EasyConfig from the start menu. If Complete
Setup type was used in the software installation, an EasyConfig icon was
installed on the desktop. Double click to open the icon.

If Custom Setup type was used in the software installation and an EasyConfig
icon was not installed on the desktop, the program will be installed under
C:\Program Files\Brickcom\EasyConfig unless the program was saved to a
preferred directory.

1. Click <Start> to continue. The program will automatically search
for the camera in the intranet.

NOTE - Check “Skip the hardware installation guide” to skip checking the

hardware connection. To check the hardware installation settings, do not
check the option box.

2. Select either “Simple Mode” or “Professional Mode” to obtain the
camera’s IP settings. If “Simple Mode” is selected, EasyConfig will
set up the connection automatically. If “Professional Mode” is
selected, the user will need to configure the IP settings manually.

3. There may be many cameras in the local network. Differentiate the
cameras using their UPnP name. Double click on the camera from
the survey list to connect.

4. Enter the username and password of the camera. For first time
use, the default username and password are “admin/admin.”

5. For configuring the IP address settings, select either <Settings
remain the same>, <Automatically obtain an IP Address (DHCP)>
or <Set IP Address configuration manually>. The DHCP setting is
recommended.

following pages will be displayed.

6. If the camera supports the EasyLinkTM function, the following
page will be displayed. Otherwise, this page will not be shown.
*If desired, click <Skip> to skip this setting.

EasyLinkTM is a unique Brickcom function which allows users to assign a unique
EasyLink name to their network camera’s IP address. There is no need to
configure the router to open up ports or remember hard-to-memorize IP
addresses. Users can log onto [uniqueEasyLinkname].mybrickcom.com to
view the camera’s web GUI and live view.

1. Enter a unique EasyLink name whose length must be between 5-32
characters.

2. When finished, click the arrow button to continue.

7. When the IP address settings have been configured, the screen will
either display a successful or failed connection message. If the
connection failed, either try again or quit the installation.

a. If “DHCP IP address settings” was selected, the failure page will

be displayed as below:

b. If “Static IP address settings” was selected, the failure page will

be displayed as below:

c. If the connection was successful, the user will see the message:

“Congratulations. The installation of the camera is complete.”

When this window is displayed, click <PC-NVR> to start the PC-NVR
program, <Live View> to view the live video from the connected IP
camera, or <X> in the top right corner of the screen to close the
