Installation Wizard

After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the DCS-6620G 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to conﬁgure and operate the camera. The ﬁrst step is to install the Installation Wizard program from the CD. Installation Wizard will allow you to conﬁgure the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera to your network.

After the Installation Wizard software program is completed, you will have an operating and controllable 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera. From your Internet Explorer Web browser you will be able to access the video and sound from the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera. The camera has a built-in Web server. This Web server will allow the camera to access the Internet without being attached to a computer and permits users to view the video and audio remotely.

However, it is necessary to install the IP surveillance software from the enclosed CD to create a truly powerful surveillance system. The following section will show in detail the launching of the Installation Wizard and installation of the IP surveillance software.

At this point it is highly recommended that you click on the Conﬁguration button on the Home screen, and then the Tools tab to bring you to the Admin screen. Enter a password for security purposes.

Security

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized use of the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera, the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System Administration settings to allow users entry and authorize privileges for all users. The 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera supports multi-level password protection/access to the 802.11g PTZ 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 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera.

When the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera is used for the ﬁrst time, it is highly recommended that the Administrator set the Administrator Password to constrain user access to the

802.11g PTZ Internet Camera since the Default settings are Null String (no password). Once the Password is deﬁned, only the Administrator has access to the management of the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features of the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera will not be enabled until the Administrator Password is deﬁned.

Using and Conﬁguring the DCS-6620G with a Router

D-Link’s DCS-6620G is a versatile and cost effective 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera offering both video and audio monitoring. It can also serve as a powerful surveillance system in security applications. The DCS-6620G can be used with any wired or wireless router. This section explains how to view the camera from either the Internet or from inside your internal network.

Materials Needed:

• 1 DCS-6620G 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera

• 1 Ethernet Cable

• A Wired or Wireless router such as the D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router

• Ethernet based PC for system conﬁguration

SETTING UP THE DCS-6620G FOR USE BEHIND A ROUTER

Installing a DCS-6620G 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera on your network is an easy 4–step procedure:

Using and Conﬁguring the DCS-6620G with a Router

 Assign a local IP Address to your 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera  View the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web browser  Access the Router with Your Web browser  Open Virtual Server Ports for Your Router (Enable Remote Viewing)

This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For the basic setup of the DCS-6620G, follow the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.

After you have completed the setup of the DCS-6620G outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is conﬁgured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.

 Assign a Local IP Address for Your Camera

Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-6620G. Follow the steps in the Quick Installation Guide to conﬁgure the DCS-6620G. The camera will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router.

 Access Your Router on Your Web Browser

If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identiﬁes your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To ﬁnd out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on the next page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.
