Software Installation
This section describes the Software installation procedure of the Wireless Internet Camera for Web Configuration and IPView application.
Web Configuration
The Wireless Internet Camera must be configured through its built-in Web -based Configuration.
Extensive knowledge of LAN will be helpful in setting up the Wireless Internet Camera
From the web browser enter the default IP address to access the Welcome screen of the Wireless Internet Camera to configure your Wireless Internet Camera type http ://192.168.0.20 in the address box. The number is the default IP address of your Wireless Internet Camera. Press Enter.
Note:
The PC’s IP address must correspond with the Wireless Internet Camera’s IP address in the same segment for the two devices to communicate.
14
The Welcome screen will appear with a still image as illustrated below. Select “System Administration” to configure the Wireless Internet Camera.
There will be several options in the systems menu bar to choose from to set your Wireless Internet Camera. You need to select “System” to continue.
In the System screen as illustrated below you are required to input key details to set-up the Wireless Internet Camera and they are as follow:
15
Click on “Home” to
return to Welcome
Screen
16
IP Assignment:
Important Information
Access to the Wireless Internet Camera is done through assigning a proper IP address. Please make sure to use a vacant IP address when you assign the IP address for the Wireless Internet Camera. This will prevent errors from occurring if the IP address is overlapped.
There are two options to select from the IP Assignment either
Manually Assign or Assign Automatically Using.
Manually Assign
You can click “Manually Assign” and directly enter the IP address.
The default settings are as follows:
Default IP – 192.168.0.20
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0
Assign Automatically Using
If your network is using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server you can click “Assign Automatically Using” and click on “RARP”, “BOOTP” or “DHCP”. Under this setting the Wireless Internet Camera will automatically assign an IP address from RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server. Each time the Wireless Internet Camera starts up be sure the RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server is setup as assign a static IP to your Wireless Internet Camera.
17
If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the Wireless Internet Camera’s RJ-45 LAN port and you also have an ISP PPPoE account. Click on “PPPoE” option and enter the Service Name, User ID and Password into the respective fields.
The Wireless Internet Camera will get an IP address from the ISP each time the Wireless Internet Camera starts up.
Wireless Interface:
Connection Mode:
Use the Connection Mode to determine the type of wireless communication for the Wireless Internet Camera. There are three choices of Infrastructure mode, 802.11 Adhoc mode and Adhoc mode. The default setting for the Connection Mode is Infrastructure.
Note:
Keep in mind after setting the Wireless Interface make sure to check the Slide Switch on the rear panel is positioned to either LAN/WLAN or WLAN setting for the wireless communication to take effect.
Network Name:
This field is used to setup which wireless network (ESS-ID Extended Service Set ID) the Wireless Internet Camera is to be connected for communication. The ESS-ID is a unique identifier shared among all points in a wireless network environment.
The default Network Name is blank space (NULL String), this default setting will let the Wireless Internet Camera connect to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode.
18
To connect the Wireless Internet Camera to a specific access point on the network make sure to set the ESS-ID of the Wireless Internet Camera to correspond with the access point’s ESS-ID for communication. Type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the Network Name box.
To connect the Wireless Internet Camera to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup make sure to set the same wireless channel and ESS­ID to match with the PC/Notebook wireless channel and ESS-ID for direct wireless communication under the Ad-hoc wireless workgroup (ad-hoc and 802.11 ad-hoc modes).
Note :
The Wireless Internet Camera ad-hoc mode supports two modes (802.11 ad-hoc mode and proprietary ad-hoc mode). Which option of the ad-hoc mode required depends on the operation of your Wireless Internet Camera. It depends on which ad-hoc mode is supported by your wireless card driver on the PC/Notebook. Some driver supports both modes, however, some driver support only one of the modes. The names of each ad-hoc mode may not be consistent between each wireless card vendor therefore you may need to try each of the ad-hoc mode (802.11 mode and proprietary mode) and select the mode that can communicate with each other.
Wireless Channel:
The pull down menu provides the wireless channel for communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between the Wireless Internet Camera and Access Point in infrastructure mode or the Wireless Internet Camera and PC/Notebook in Ad-hoc mode. Select the
19
appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the regulatory region which the unit is sold. The default setting is at channel 11.
Encryption WEP Key:
Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties.
To enable WEP Encryption, first decide which WEP key format will be applied. Click on ASCII or HEX check box to select input format as ASCII format or HEX format, and then input WEP key. To Confirm the WEP key you must enter the data once again in the Confirm WEP Key field.
On the Confirm WEP Key field, input the same characters as the Encryption Code field.
Make sure the Encryption Code is the same with the access point’s encryption code that the Wireless Internet Camera is to be connected under Infrastructure mode. Your PC/Notebook’s encryption code also needs to be setup the same with the Wireless Internet Camera's encryption code under either Infrastructure mode or Ad-hoc mode.
The default setting for the Encryption Key is Disable therefore, to secure the wireless transmission be sure to Enable the Encryption Key by entering the relevant data.
20
Note:
Carefully input Encryption Code, any error setting will cause communication link to fail.
Save/Cancel:
After making sure all settings in the System are correct, click on the “Save” icon to store the settings for the Wireless Internet Camera. You can alternatively click on the “Cancel” icon to restore all settings to the values last saved to or retrieved from the Wireless Internet Camera.
Once the configuration is completed click on “Home” to return to the Welcome screen and select the desired Viewing Image either through ActiveX Mode or Java Mode as described in the User’s Guide.
Then position the Wireless Internet Camera to the desired location appropriately for your purpose. Followed by the adjustment of the Wireless Internet Camera focus, done manually by turning the lens clockwise or anti-clockwise to the desired image quality.
Please refer to the appendix for detailed information regarding Adjust Internet Camera Focus and Replacing the Lens in the User’s Guide.
