2. INSTALLATION AND SETTINGS

System Requirement:
Operating System: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7
Network Protocol: TCP/IP
Network Structure: Applies to all network connections 10/100M LAN platform
Browser: Internet Explore 6.0 or above.

2.1. Network Connection

Intranet and Extranet Connection Reference:
Extranet means public IP, Intranet means private IP. If your IP belongs to the follow range, then it’s a private
IP :
Category A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
Category B: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
Category C: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Intranet Connection: IP camera and user’s computer (device) should be under the same network
environment, and both of their IP should be under the same subnet, then means correct connection, picture
as below:
Figure1.0
Extranet Connection: there are 2 ways as below:
(1). IP camera connect to the Internet via router, here camera’s IP is a private IP, clients need to connect to IP
camera through a router, with forwarding rule to be connected correctly, as below:
Figure1.1
(2). IP camera connect to the Internet directly, if it’s a fixed IP which provided by ISP, just input it. If it’s a
floating IP, then input the account and password which provided by ISP to dial-up connection.
