located in the base of the camera stand
allowing the Internet Camera to be mounted
on the ceiling or any wall securely.

Security

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the Internet
Camera, the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System
Administration setting to allow users the security level of entry and authorize
privileges for all users. The Internet Camera supports multi-level password
protection/access to the Internet Camera that can be restricted to defined
users who have a “User Name” and “User Password” which is assigned by
the Administrator.

The administrator can release a public user name and password so that when
remote users access the Internet Camera they will have the right to view the
image transmitted by the Internet Camera.

Note:

When the Internet Camera is used for the first time it is highly recommended
that the Administrator set the “Admin ID” and “Admin Password” to constrain
user access to the Internet Camera since the Default settings are Null String
(no password). Once the ID and Password are defined only the Administrator
has the access to the management of the Internet Camera. This procedure
should be done as soon as possible since the security features of the Internet
Camera will not be enabled until the “Admin ID” and “Admin Password” is
defined.

10

Using the Internet Camera as a
Security System

D-Link's IP Camera System is one of the most cost effect
security solutions today. Both the DCS-1000 Wired model
and DCS-1000W Wired/Wireless model have input/output
controls for interfacing with security systems.

On the back of the Camera you will find an 8-position
connector. This connector has 2 input triggers for security
sensors and 2 output triggers for security alarms.

Security sensors for input are available as Passive (low­current/low voltage) sensors or Active (powered) sensors.

Because of power limitations of the DCS cameras and its compatibility with Power over
Ethernet standards the sensor power requirement must be obeyed for proper operation.
We have listed Passive and Active components that will interface with the DCS family of
Cameras. Passive components must not exceed 5V 100mA. Active components must
be self-powered by an external power source.

For the demonstration below a D-Link DCS-1000 was purchased from www.dlinkshop.com
, the security equipment was purchased from www.smarthome.com, and some cable
accessories from a local hardware store.

Materials

• DCS-1000

• 2 Ethernet Cables & Ethernet Switch/Internet Router

• An Ethernet based PC to configure system

• Internet Name Server and E-Mail Server to send capture information

• 10FT. 24Gauge

• 1 light current power distribution block for 12V power

• 30W Weatherproof Siren

• High Sensitivity DPDT relay (allows 5V camera to turn on 12V siren)

• Mini-Magnetic Contact Switch (commonly used for doors or windows)

• PIR Motion Detector

You will need some simple tools like wire cutters/strippers and the appropriate screwdriver
for mounting and distribution block setup.

Everything less the camera cost about $97 US Dollars including shipping.

Basic Hardware Set-up Diagram

The diagram below shows the hardware configuration for 1 Active Sensor (PIR Motion
Sensor), 1 Passive Sensor (Magnetic Switch), and 1 output (For Relay) for a siren.

Passive Component Notes!!!

Only simple magnetic or contact switches can be used for Passive components. This
limitation is by the camera only supplying 5V and less then 100mA current to those
circuits. Distance for passive components is limited by a viewable camera range of about
25 Ft using 26GA wire.

Active Component Notes!!!

A separate power supply is needed for these devices. In order to choose the proper PS.
The total current draw by all the components cannot exceed the Max supplied by the
power supply.

Example
Our PIR Motion Detector = 17 mA = .017A
Our Relay = 60 mA = .06A
Siren = 200mA = .20A
Total : .277A

Purchased DC power adapter 12V DC 1.2A Max to cover all Active Sensors and Siren,
with room to grow.

Camera Configuration

Follow the instructions for setting up your wired or wireless camera. If the camera is for
home use and is behind an Internet router, additional set-up notes for your router can
be found on www.dlink.com.

Once logged into the camera on the main menu click/select trigger and the following
screen will appear.

These fields control Input Trigger 1 and Trigger 2. Each Input Trigger can trigger either or
both Output triggers.

SMTP Server Address: Name or IP address of a Mail Server that camera can use to send.
Sender E-Mail: Name of the Camera that sent the mail
Receiver E-Mail: Name of person to receive pictures when sensors are activated
Sending Interval: The time between additional sequences of pictures are taken when

sensors activated

Sending Times: The number of times the camera takes additional sequences of pictures

based on Sending Interval.

Trigger I/O: Enable Output trigger for the specified input trigger
Output # Time: How long the output trigger is activated if the sensor is activated. (ie.

How long should the siren ring?)

INPUT TRIGGER RESPONSE NOTES!!!

The camera will take a sequence of pictures and the output trigger is activated when
there is a change which will open or close the sensor. Example: The magnetic switch is
opened, a sequence is sent and the siren goes off. The switch is then closed, an additional
sequence is sent and the alarm goes off. The camera is designed this way so if there is
an intrusion, the intrusion is detected if the intruder simply opens then closes the entrance.

 Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
 Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0

Assign Automatically Using

Important

It is recommended that you do not use an Automatically Assigned IP address as it
may be difficult to determine the IP address of the unit after the IP address has been
asssigned. It is recommended that an IP address be assigned manually.

If your network is using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server you can click Assign
Automatically Using and click on RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. Under this setting
the Internet Camera will automatically assign an IP address from RARP, BOOTP
or DHCP server. Each time the Internet Camera starts up, be sure the RARP,
BOOTP or DHCP server is setup to assign a static IP to your Internet Camera.

If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the
Internet Camera’s RJ-45 LAN port and you also have an ISP PPPoE account,
the click on PPPoE and enter the Service Name, User ID and Password into
the respective fields.

The Internet Camera will get an IP address from the ISP each time it starts up.

DNS IP Address:

names (ie. www.dlink.com) into IP addresses (ie. 192.168.0.20). The DNS IP
address can be received from your ISP. Enter at least one DNS IP Address.

Wireless Interface (for Wireless Internet Camera only):

Connection Mode:

Use the Connection Mode to determine the type of wireless communication for
the Internet Camera. There are three choices of Infrastructure mode, 802.11
Adhoc mode and Adhoc mode. The default setting for the Connection Mode is
Infrastructure.

Note:

Keep in mind that after setting the Wireless Interface make sure that the Slide
Switch on the rear panel is positioned to either LAN/WLAN or WLAN setting for
the wireless communication to take effect.

19

Network Name: (for Wireless Internet Camera only)

This field is used to setup which wireless network (ESS-ID Extended Service
Set ID) DCS-1000W is to be connected for communication. The ESS-ID is a
unique identifier shared among all points in a wireless network environment.

The default Network Name is a blank space (NULL String); this default setting
will let the Internet Camera connect to any access point under the infrastructure
network mode.

To connect the Internet Camera to a specific access point on the network
make sure that you set the ESS-ID of the Internet Camera to correspond with
the access point’s ESS-ID. Type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces,
symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the Network Name box.

To connect the Internet Camera to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup make sure
that you set the same wireless channel and ESS-ID to match with the PC/
Notebook wireless channel and ESS-ID for direct wireless communication under
the Ad-hoc wireless workgroup (ad-hoc and 802.11 ad-hoc modes).

Note:

The Internet Camera supports two ad-hoc modes (802.11 ad-hoc mode and
proprietary ad-hoc mode). Which option of the ad-hoc mode required depends
on the operation of your Internet Camera. It depends on which ad-hoc mode is
supported by your wireless card driver on the PC/Notebook. Some drivers
supports both modes, however, some drivers support only one of the modes.
The names of each ad-hoc mode may not be consistent between each wireless
card vendor therefore you may need to try each of the ad-hoc modes (802.11
mode and proprietary mode) and select the mode that can communicate with
each other.

Wireless Channel: (for Wireless Internet Camera only)

The pull down menu provides the wireless channel for communication. A
“channel” is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between the
Internet Camera and Access Point in infrastructure mode or the Internet Camera
and PC/Notebook in Ad-hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list
provided depending on the regulatory region in which the unit is sold. The default
setting is channel 11.

20

Encryption WEP Key: (for Wireless Internet Camera only)

Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b
standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret
by unauthorized parties.

To enable WEP Encryption, first decide which WEP key format will be applied.
Click on ASCII or HEX check box to select input format as ASCII format or HEX
format, and then input the WEP key. To Confirm the WEP key you must enter
the data once again in the Confirm WEP Key field.

ASCII input format: (for Wireless Internet Camera only)

ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit
value. All unaccented upper- and lower-case Western European characters
that can be input through your keyboard’s typing zone are valid. To setup 64-bit
WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters, for example, ‘12345’. To setup 128-bit WEP
key, input 13 ASCII characters, for example, ‘1234567890123’. These character
counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the Internet Camera will
automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.

HEX input format: (for Wireless Internet Camera only)

Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an
eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Only the digits 0 through 9
and the letters A through F (in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup 64-bit
WEP key, input 10 HEX format, for example, ‘3132333435’, this is the same
with ASCII input ‘12345’. To setup 128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format, for
example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’, this is the same with ASCII input
‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104,
respectively; the Internet Camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count
of 64 or 128.

On the Confirm WEP Key field, input the same characters as the Encryption
Code field.

Make sure the Encryption Code is the same with the access point’s encryption
code that the Internet Camera is to be connected under Infrastructure mode.
Your PC/Notebook’s encryption code also needs to be setup the same with the
Internet Camera’s encryption code under either Infrastructure mode or Ad-hoc
mode.

21

The default setting for the Encryption Key is Disable. Therefore, to secure the
wireless transmission be sure to Enable the Encryption Key by entering the
relevant data.

Note:

Carefully input the Encryption Code, any error setting the code will cause the
communication link to fail.

LED Control:

The LED control allows you to setup the LED illumination as desired. This
feature provides the flexibility when surveillance activity is ON.

There are three options as follows:

 Normal

Power - Steady On of the LED indicator.
LAN/WLAN - Steady On of the LED indicator. When LAN/WLAN

activity is present the LED indicator will flash steadily.

 OFF

Power - LED indicator is off
LAN/WLAN – LED indicator is off

 Dummy

Power - Steady On of the LED indicator.

LAN/WLAN - Steady On of the LED indicator with random

flashing.

Note: The WLAN LED is only available on the Wireless Internet
Camera

The default setting for the LED control is Normal. When you have configured
the LED control the correct illumination will set in after 1 minute.

Note:

This function is built-in to the LED indicators to add extra capabilities. The three
options allow the Administrator to configure and camouflage the illumination for
the LED indicator to falsify the monitoring status. In Normal Mode the LED
indicator functions normally. Under Off Mode the LED indicators are both off,
however, it is still monitoring the activity. In Dummy Mode the LED indicators
operate in monitoring condition but monitoring activity is off or on.

Loading ActiveX From:

This field is used to specify the location of Xplug Control (ActiveX) plug-in
program. Enter the information as required in .ocx format, for example:
http://www.<your company>.com/xplug.ocx where <your company> must
be replaced with your company’s DNS server.

22

Instructions for installing ActiveX from the driver CD is included in this manual.
Refer to the section labeled Software Installation.
