Chapter 5 - Accessing the Network Camera
5.1 Check Network Settings
The camera can be connected either before or immediately after the software
installation. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the
configuration page, including entering the correct subnet mask and IP address of
gateway and DNS. Ask the network administrator or Internet service provider for the
detail information.
The network Speed Dome Camera’s default IP address is: 192.168.1.245.
Therefore, to access the camera for the first time, set the PC’s IP address as:
192.168.1.XXX; for example:
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
5.2 Add Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access
The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter
of prudent security practice. For first time use, the user name and password for the Administrator are assigned as “admin/admin”. After the Administrator changes
the Administrator password, the web browser will display an authentication window
to confirm the new password. Once the password is set, there is no provision
to recover the Administrator’s password. If the Administrator’s password is
lost, the only option is to restore the original factory default settings.
The Administrator can set up a maximum of ten (10) user accounts. Users will be
able to access the Network Camera, but will not be allowed to access the system
and streaming configurations.
22
5.3 Authentication
To access the camera’s live view, open a web browser and enter the IP address of
the camera. A dialog window will pop requesting a username and password. As
stated on the previous page, for the default username and password for the
Administrator are assigned as “admin/admin”. For accounts other than the
administrator’s account, the user can choose to remember the password for future
convenience. It is not recommended to check this box when viewing the camera
feed from a public computer.
23
5.4 Installing the Plug-In
For the initial access to the camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt the
administrator for permission to install a new plug-in for on Internet Explorer.
Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user’s PC or
notebook. If the highest security level is set, the computer may prohibit any
installation and execution attempt. This plug-in has been registered for certificate
and is used to display the video in the browser. Click “Install” to proceed. If the web
browser does not allow the administrator to continue the installation, check the
Internet security option and lower the security levels or contact the networking
supervisor or IT for help.
NOTE – If an error occurred or the plug-in fails to install, it is because the
version of the Electronic Signature is newly released and the VeriSign has not
been submitted to Microsoft Windows update for validation. Therefore,
plug-in will not have its root certificate. If IE discovers that there is no root
certificate after the user’s PC connects to the camera, it will automatically
redirect to VeriSign Web site to download and install the latest root certificate to
make the installation successfully. If the user’s computer is able to connect to
camera but unable to access the internet, then the installation will fail because
the computer will not be able to download the latest root certificate. This
problem can be resolved if computer can be connect to the internet and the
camera at the same time and will not recur when Windows update patches
become available.
