NETWORK CONNECTION*
There are two way to power a MEGApix® 1080p™ camera.
Use a PoE- enabled switch to connect data and power through a single
cable and begin viewing and recording images instantly. A non- PoE switch
will require an adaptor for power transmission.
1. Using a PoE-Enabled Switch
The MEGApix® 1080p™ Camera is PoE-Compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a
single Ethernet cable. PoE eliminates the need for the different cables used to power, record, or
control the camera. Follow the illustration below to connect the camera to a PoE-enabled switch
using an Ethernet cable.
2. Using 12VDC
If a PoE injector is not available, use a power adaptor for power transmission and a non-PoE switch
for data transmission. Follow the illustrations below to connect the camera without a PoE Injector.

DW Desktop Tool™ *
Using DW Desktop Tool™ Software
Use IP Finder to set the connection type and the IP address information
for your MEGApix® 1080p™ camera.
1. DHCP: Select DHCP to access the camera within the same internal network. For further
explanation on DHCP, please see page 15.
2. Static IP: Select Static to connect to the camera from an external network. For further

DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a
device to configure automatically according to the network it is connected to.
If your network supports DHCP and your MEGApix® 1080p™ camera is set to DHCP, IP Finder will
automatically find and set your MEGApix® 1080p™ camera to correspond with your network
requirements.
Static
Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP or when
setting your device to be accessed externally via the internet. If Static is selected, you must manually
enter the correct network settings for your MEGApix® 1080p™ camera. The settings will correspond
with your network. To set your camera to a static IP address, we recommend that you (1) setup the
camera to DHCP, (2) allow it to configure itself according to your network, and (3) change the settings
to a static IP address.
1. To set your MEGApix® 1080p™ camera to Static, highlight the desired device from the search
results list, and click on Configuration. In the “Network Configuration” window, make sure Static
is selected.
2. Enter the following information: IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and Preferred DNS.
3. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.
