1 Product Information
1.1 Product Introduction
This IP Surveillance camera is an ideal product for all kinds of video-surveillance
purposes, like home/office safety, kid/pet monitoring and remote video acquisition
etc. Unlike conventional close-circuit video camera, you're not limited to the length
of the cable. Once this IP camera is connected to Internet, you can receive video from
anywhere in the world where Internet access is available.
If installing an Ethernet cable for the surveillance camera is not feasible, we have a
wireless version of the IP surveillance Camera. This camera can connect to the
network wirelessly and communicate to the monitoring desktop/PC. The wireless
camera would require only the 5V power provided by the power adapter that comes
with the product package.
The wireless IP Surveillance Camera is highly secure unlike conventional analog
wireless camera, in which case video can be intercepted by anyone with a compatible
video receiver. The required security can be achieved by using data encryption (WEP
& WPA). All video transmitted over the air is encrypted preventing any intelligent
interception.
Setting up a secure wireless Camera is not a very complex process. The wireless IP
Camera supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), which allows users to setup wireless
security by just pressing a button or keying in an 8-digit number.

4. Obtaining a free No-IP account
If your ISP provides dynamic (non-static) IP address to you and you cannot connect to
your IP camera when you’re away from it, here are a few simple steps to follow to get
yourself setup and online with No-IP.com's free dynamic DNS service, so you can run
your servers at your home or business without a static IP address.
1.
Launch your web browser and navigate to http://www.no-ip.com
2.
Click the "Sign-in!" link (located at the top of the page of no-ip.com’s webpage)
3.
Click ‘Sign up for an Account’ in pop-up menu.
Page 92
DG-SC2100/DG-SC2100W User Manual
92
4. You should now be logged into the No-IP.com members section. Here you can
create a hostname that you will use to connect to your server.
A hostname is used instead of your IP address whenever you want to connect to a
service at your location. Hostnames take the form of hostname.domain.com so
they're the same as names used in URLs to surf the web etc.
In order to add a host to your account, select the "Add Host" link from the
"Hosts/Redirects" menu. This will bring up the Add a Host page.
5. Now you' re ready to fill in the details of your new hostname. Here are the steps to
deal with the items on this screen:
Fill in the Hostname: box with a name of your choosing. It can be anything you like.
If you choose a name that's already in use, an error will be generated and you can then
try a different hostname.

DG-SC2100/DG-SC2100W User Manual

• No-IP Free users are only able to create hostnames on one domain. If you want more
domain choices, consider upgrading to No-IP Enhanced which offers 80+ domains.
• Choose the Host Type. The default choice, DNS Host A, is usually the correct one.
Do not choose any of the other host types unless you're trying to solve a particular
problem that a DNS A record won't accommodate. If your ISP blocks Port 80 for
example, and you're trying to run a web server or other service on port 80, then you
can choose Port 80 Redirect (at that point you'll be asked to specify the port to use for
the redirection). If you're not running a web server, then do not choose this option as it
will likely prevent you from connecting properly.
• In the field marked IP Address: you should already see your current IP address. If
you wish to set the IP address of the host to be somewhere other than your current
location, you can enter that address now.
• The next two options aren't used for a basic account setup so we won't concern
ourselves with those in this article.
• When you have filled in the information for your new hostname, simply click the
"Create Host" button at the bottom of the page to save it.
