Network Setup -

Quick Start of Network Connection

Follow the steps below to complete the initial network setup.

Access your IP Camera via the Internet (from a

different network from the one your camera is):

i Do not power on the IP camera until instructed.

i Temporarily disable any proxy servers conﬁgured in

Internet Explorer.

i If connecting the IP camera directly to a modem,

power down and reset the modem. Leave the modem

powered down until the camera's conﬁguration is complete

and the IP Camera has been connected to the modem.

Connect the IP camera to the conﬁgured network.

Open the DW IP Finder on a PC on the same network as the camera and search for the camera.

i If you have a DHCP server, it will automatically set

the camera's IP address and network settings.

i If you do not have a DHCP server, the camera's IP address is

set by default to 192.168.1.80 after one minute In this case, the

PC's IP address must be changed to match the camera's IP

address settings to be able to access the camera.

If multiple cameras are added at the same time, each camera can be identified by its mac address.

Click on the camera's IP address and connect to the web page.

If you use a static IP address assigned by your ISP:

1. Open Internet Explorer.

2. Type the address of the IP camera.

3. If you use a router, enter the routers’ static IP and the web port number of the IP camera.

If you have a dynamic address provided by your ISP

1. Open Internet Explorer and go to your DDNS website.

2. Register the IP camera.

3. Reboot the IP camera.

4. Give the DDNS server 10 minutes to locate your IP camera’s IP information.

5. Click the refresh button in Internet Explorer.

6. After your camera is connected, select your camera.

Default ID/password are both: admin.

Familiarize yourself with the viewer interface.

Install VLC to display live video.

The camera's IP address settings can be set to ‘STATIC’ from the DW IP Finder or the camera's web viewer by going to Setup -> Network -> Network Settings.

If the IP camera is connected to a network with a router, you must have port forwarding conﬁgured on your router to access the camera from outside the network.

After conﬁguring port forwarding on your router (if necessary), access your IP camera by opening Internet Explorer and typing the IP address and web port assigned to the IP camera.

i Example: http://192.168.0.200:8888

i If your web port is 80, you do not need to specify the port in

the address bar to access to your IP camera.

Network Setup -

DDNS Registration

If you have a DYNAMIC IP service from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you cannot tell the current IP address of the IP Camera. To solve this problem, you must register with our DDNS service.

Frst, you must check if you are using dynamic addressing. If so, register your IP Video Server on our DDNS website before you conﬁgure, setup, or install the IP Camera.

Even if you are not using DHCP, it may be beneficial to register a DDNS. Instead of using a public IP address (ex: http://201.23.4.76:8078), the DDNS will be more simplified (‘hostname.dyndns.com/gate1’ ).

For more details, contact our Support Center.

To use a public DDNS called ‘DynDNS’ or ‘no-IP’, refer to the detailed information on how to use the service. (Visit: http://www.dyndns.com or http://www.no-ip.com)

Network Setup -

Guide to the Network Environment

Please conﬁgure the IP Camera at the installation site. You must determine your network scenario to conﬁgure the IP Camera with the proper TCP/IP settings. This tutorial will guide you through the process. Before actually conﬁguring the IP Camera, determine settings to be applied. Record those settings to be used to conﬁgure your IP Camera for reference.

When conﬁguring your IP Camera, treat the IP Camera as another PC on your network. You will assign it to several addresses and other TCP/IP properties to match your current network.

This step-by-step tutorial will teach what IP addresses and network conﬁgurations should be assigned based on the network scenario.

If prompted for ID and password, use ‘admin’ for both entries. The default web port number is 80. If port 80 is blocked by the ISP, use a value between 1025 ~ 60000. If TCP port 80 is blocked, contact your ISP.

The following descriptions are several basic network scenarios. Determine which scenario describes your network. If your network does not match one of the scenarios below and you are unsure how to setup your IP camera, contact your network administrator.

i You cannot control the rectangular gray areas and only

the ISP has access to the devices.

Before you begin, locate any information and settings received from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may need to refer to these IP addresses at a later time during the conﬁguration.

Current TCP/IP Settings

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Default Gateway

Primary DNS Server

Secondary DNS Server (Option)

Static Dynamic

i If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was

responsible for the setup and installation of your

Internet connection, go to step 2.

i If you are not using a router on your network,

your ‘Current TCP/IP Settings’ (from the previous

section) and ‘Assigned IP Addresses from My ISP’ will

be exactly the same.

You must determine whether the IP address is STATIC or DYNAMIC. Contact your ISP to get a STATIC IP address for the camera.

Conﬁgure your IP Camera’s TCP/IP settings for network connectivity by selecting Setup from the main interface and selecting TCP/IP located on the left of the setup screen.

FAQ

1. My POWER light is not on?

Power is not being supplied to the unit. Please use the

power supply shipped with the unit and verify that a

power source is active from the attached power outlet

used to connect the adapter. You can test this by plugging

in any other electrical device and verify its operation. After

using the power supply shipped with the product, check

the power source, and reinserting the power connector

into the IP Camera, please call our Support Center.

The power supply may be defective.

2. My ACTIVE light is not ﬂashing?

Verify the power supply to the unit. Power oﬀ the unit

and back on again, wait 1 minute, if the ACTIVE light still

does not begin to ﬂash, you will have to set the unit to its

factory default (THIS WILL DELETE ANY CONFIGURATION

AND SET THE UNIT TO THE FACTORY DEFAULTS).

Power on the unit and insert the end of a paper clip into

the small recessed opening on the back of the unit. Use

the clip to press the button located within that opening.

3. My LINK light is not ﬂashing or solid?

Verify the cable connection. 99% of the time the cable’s

connection to the unit is causing this problem. Try using a

diﬀerent network cable or crossover cable (for PC

connection only). Try reinserting the cable, if this still

doesn’t solve the problem call our Support Center.

4. I can access the video server on my LAN, but not from the

Internet.

Verify that your router (if applicable) has port forwarding

properly conﬁgured. If accessing from our DDNS service,

verify the correct serial number. Firewall issues may prevent

user access.

5. How do I open an MS-DOS or Command Prompt?

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

6. How do I ﬁnd out my IP address information if my settings

were automatically detected?

1) Open a Command Prompt

2) At the prompt type - “ipconﬁg / all” (without the quotes)

3) Near the end of the information supplied, should be

your current IP address, subnet mask, default gateway

and DNS servers

8. How do I “PING” an IP address?

1) Open an MS-DOS (or Command) prompt

2) At the prompt type - “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (without the

quotes and replace the “x” s with an IP address)

3) Press Enter

9. I’m accessing my video server remotely over the Internet

and the video stream is choppy, is this normal?

Yes. The frames per second received remotely are

determined by your bandwidth capabilities both at

your site where the IP Camera is installed and your remote

location. The lower of the two sites will determine how

fast your video stream is received. It is recommended to

have at least a 256Kb/sec upstream connection from

the site where the IP Camera is installed. Lower speeds will

operate properly but provide poor remote performance.

The Faster the Internet connection at both ends, the faster

the video stream.

10. How do I enable or check VLC on my browser

Internet Explorer

Open Internet Explorer > Tools on the menu bar > Internet

Options > Security Tab > Custom Level > Scroll down and

verify that you are prompted or have enabled plug-ins to

be downloaded and executed. > click OK > restart browser.

Chrome

Open Chrome > Chrome menu settings > Advanced

settings > Individual information - content settings > Run

automatically

11. How do I reset the unit to factory defaults?

Refer to the previous functions page and ﬁnd the reset

button. Power ON the unit and use a paper clip to push

the reset button within that opening. You should then see

the ACTIVE light turn oﬀ and after a few seconds, the

ACTIVE light will begin to ﬂash, signifying a successful

reboot. If the ACTIVE light does not turn oﬀ after

depressing the reset button, please try holding the button

in for a few seconds and releasing it. YOU WILL LOSE ALL

DATA THAT HAD BEEN ENTERED PREVIOUSLY AND THE IP

CAMERA WILL BE SET TO ITS FACTORY RESETS.

7. I can’t connect!!

In the case of a connection failure.

Modem Reboot > Modem Reboot Finished > Router

Reboot > Router Reboot Finished > IP Camera Reboot

> IP Camera Reboot Finish > Verify DDNS and IP Camera
