1 Getting familiar with your IP Surveillance Camera
1.1 Basic 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 12V 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 a 8-digit number.

4.2 Troubleshooting
If the IP camera is not working properly, before you contact the dealer of
purchase for help, please check the troubleshooting list here, this may help
you to solve the problem by yourself and therefore saves your valuable time.
Scenario Possible Solution
I cannot connect to
the IP camera
a. Please make sure IP camera is correctly powered
(the ‘Power’ LED should be on).
b. Please confirm the IP address setting of the
computer you’re using. If the IP Camera and the
laptop are not in the same subnet, they will not be
able to communicate with each other.
c. Please modify the IP address of the laptop to
match the subnet of the IP camera.
d. In case, the IP address of the IP camera is not
known, reset it to factory default value (which is
192.168.2.3) by pressing ‘reset’ button on the IP
camera. Press and hold reset button for 10 seconds,
the IP Camera will reboot with default settings.
e. If you’re trying to connect to the IP camera from
Internet, please make sure the port that IP camera
uses (HTTP port, see section 2.3.1) is not blocked by
firewall or other software / hardware.
f. Contact DIGISOL helpdesk, if above solutions do
not work.
Image refreshes
very slowly
a. Try a higher frame rate setting, if it’s not 30.
b. Try a lower resolution.
c. If you’re connecting this camera from Internet, it
could be caused by a slow Internet connection, and
it’s not a problem caused by camera. However, when
the network connection is slow, you should use lower
frame rate / resolution.
Page 96
DG-SC2600/DG-SC2600W User Manual
96
d. Adjust the antenna if you’re using wireless
connection. The antenna should be close to the
computer / wireless access point.
e. Try to adjust ‘MTU’ setting if you’re using PPPoE
to connect to Internet. Ask your ISP or network
administrator for detailed instruction.
IP camera is not
responding
a. Is the network cable or wireless connection
disconnected? Please check it.
b. Unplug the power adapter from wall socket and
plug it in again after 10 seconds, then try to connect
to the IP camera again.
c. If IP camera is correctly powered (‘Power’ LED is
on), but you still cannot connect to the camera (when
you’re sure that IP address is correct, please contact
dealer of purchase for help).
Image is fuzzy a. Adjust the focus ring on the camera until the image
becomes clear.
b. Use a soft cloth to clean the lens on the camera.
You can use moist cloth, but DO NOT use alcohol or
other chemical solution.
c. Try to adjust brightness setting.
d. If there’s any light source near the view/target
area, switch it on and see if image looks better.
I set the IP camera
to send image by
Email or FTP, but
nothing is received
a. If the image is sent by Email, please make sure it’s
not blocked by any anti-spam mechanism.
b. Please make sure you have enough permission for
FTP uploading (You can try this by clicking ‘Upload a
test file’ button).
c. Make sure the user name and / or password of
SMTP server is correct, if your SMTP server requires
authentication (You can try this by click ‘Send a test
Email’ button).
Page 97
DG-SC2600/DG-SC2600W User Manual
97
d. Please check log, if FTP upload or Email sending
is failed, it will be logged, and this may give you some
clue on how to solve the problem.
e. Change the threshold to a more sensitive setting.
Nothing is heard at
the camera side
when I use ‘Speak to
IPCam’ function
An external speaker is required to playback the voice
received at computer side.
My player can’t play
the recorded video
or the video is
played without voice.
Please make sure you’ve installed MPEG4 decoder,
if not please download ffdshow, it’s a free open
application.
