Section 2 - Installation

Security

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the DCS-900, the Administrator has the exclusive
privilege to create all users. The DCS-900 supports multi-level password protection/access that can be restricted
by the Administrator for defined users who have a User Name and Password.

The Administrator can release a public User Name and Password so that when remote users access the DCS-900
they will be allowed to view the images transmitted by the DCS-900.

Note: When the DCS-900 is used for the first time, it is highly recommended that the Administrator set the
Admin ID and Admin Password to restrict user access to the DCS-900 since the default settings are Null String

(no password). Once the ID and Password are defined, only the Administrator has access to the management of the
DCS-900. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features of the DCS-900 will not be
enabled until the Admin ID and Admin Password is defined.

Most ISPs do not open port 80 (a DCS-900 default video transfer port) for their residential customers, the DCS-900 has the
ability to use a different port by enabling the second http port for its video transfer.

If the second port is enabled, it will automatically disable the default port 80. Any unused ports can be used such as port 800,
801, etc. Remember that if the DCS-900 is behind a router you would need to forward that port to the DCS-900’s IP Address.
When accessing the camera you would need to type the camera’s IP Address + the port number (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
number, or http://192.168.0.20:800 for example). Please refer to “Installing the DCS-900 Behind a Router” on page 38.

Installing the DCS-900 Behind a Router

Assigning and Opening the HTTP Port on the DCS-900

(For Installing Multiple Cameras)

Opening ports will allow users to view the camera via the
Internet. The ports that are opened must be unique for
each camera in order to successfully view the images
remotely.

1) Open the HTTP Port

The HTTP Port option is used when multiple cameras
are being installed behind a single public IP address
and will be accessed remotely OR for using a port other
than the default port for image viewing. For each additional camera that is installed, you must assign the appropriate
Web server port for each camera to enable remote viewing.

By default, port 80 (Web server port) is open. If these ports are available for use, you DO NOT have to open a second
port and can proceed to the next section. If port 80 is not available (for example, if you are already using port 80 to run
a Web server or your ISP blocks access on port 80*) you MUST open a second port and designate a new Web server
port (800, 801, 802,…etc). IMPORTANT: Be sure to take note of these settings since these same settings will be used
to configure your router.

Note: Some ISPs block traffic on commonly used ports like port 80 to prevent consumers from putting a server on their network. Be sure
to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need
to change the Web server port the camera uses from 80 to something else, like 800. If you are behind a router, you will need to open a
corresponding port on your router as well. Not all routers are the same, please refer to your router’s user’s manual for specific instructions
on how to forward ports.

Section 3 - Configuration

Router Setup and Installation

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DI-624 is used as an
example to clarify the configuration process. Your WAN IP Address information will be listed on following window.

Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP
address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use
to access your camera from a remote location.

Assigning and Opening Virtual Server Ports

2) Open Virtual Server Ports To Enable Remote Image
Viewing

The Virtual Server Ports of your router must be opened
for remote access to your camera. This is also referred
to as port forwarding. Please proceed as follows:

• Select Enabled to enable virtual server settings.

• Select a camera name.

• Enter your camera’s Local IP Address in the Private
IP field.

• Select TCP under Protocol Type.

• If you are using the default camera port settings, enter
80 in to the Public and Private Port section.

• Schedule should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.

• In the Virtual Servers List, a check mark appearing before the camera name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

• Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: If you are installing multiple cameras, be sure to open ONE Web port per additional camera installed: port 81,
82, etc. for Web server.

Viewing Your Camera

After all settings have been entered correctly, a user inside or outside your network will have access to the camera
through a standard Web browser. To access from the Internet, simply type in the IP Address of the router given to you
by your ISP, a colon, and the port number that you gave your camera. (Ex. http://205.163.122.96:83). To access from a
computer on your local (home) network, simply enter the local IP Address of your camera (i.e. 192.168.0.35). If using
a port other than port 80, you must enter the IP address followed by a colon and the assigned port number.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting

What network cabling is required for the Internet Camera?

The Internet Camera uses Category 5 UTP Twisted-pair cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking.

Can the Internet Camera be setup as a PC-cam on the computer?

No, the Internet Camera is used only on Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network.The D-Link DSB-C110, DSB-C310 can
be used as a PC Camera (Webcam).

Can the Internet Camera be connected on the network if it consists of only private IP Addresses?

Yes, the Internet Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP Addresses.

Can the Internet Camera be Installed if a firewall exists on the network?

If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data communication. You will need to do port forwarding
by opening a port to the camera. Please refer to your firewall’s product manual for detailed instructions.

Why can’t I access the Internet Camera from a Web browser?

The possible cause might be the IP Address for the Internet Camera is already being used by another device. To
correct the possible problem, you need to first disconnect the Internet Camera from the network. Then run the PING
utility (follow the instructions in the section titled “PING Your IP Address”. If there is a reply, it indicates that there is
another device on the network with the same IP address. You will need to run the Install Wizard again and change the
IP address of the camera.

Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface
of the product by connecting a local computer directly to the unit, utilizing a standard Crossover Cable, and run the
PING utility. If the problem is not solved, the Internet Camera might be faulty.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting

Fast Ethernet Internet Camera Installation

Why does the Power LED not light up constantly?

The power supply used might be at fault. Confirm that you are using the provided power supply, which is DC 5V,
for the Internet Camera. Also verify that the power supply is well connected, and/or the option to turn off the LED is
enabled.

Why does the LAN LED not light up properly?

There might be a problem with the network cable. To confirm that the cables are working, PING the address of a known
device on the network. If the cabling is OK and your network is reachable, you should receive a reply similar to the
following (…bytes = 32 time = 2 ms).

Another possible problem may be that the network device utilized by the Internet Camera is not functioning properly,
such as hubs or switches. Confirm the power for the devices are well connected and functioning properly, and/or the
option to turn off the LED is enabled.

Why does the Internet Camera work locally but not remotely?

This might be caused by the firewall protection. Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator. The firewall
may need to have some settings changed in order for the Internet Camera to be accessible outside your local LAN.
Refer to page 39 for more information about installing your camera behind a router.

Make sure that the Internet Camera isn’t conflicting with any web server you may have running on your network.

The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the configuration of the router settings allow the
Internet Camera to be accessed outside your local LAN.

66D-Link DCS-900 User Manual

Section 6 - Troubleshooting

Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear through out the image?

It could be that the CMOS sensor (a square panel situated behind the lens that measures the light signals and changes
it into a digital format so your computer can present it into an image that you are familiar with) has become overloaded
when it has been exposed to bright lights such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights. Reposition the Internet
Camera into a more shaded area immediately as prolonged exposure to bright lights will damage the CMOS sensor.

Noisy Images occur. How can I solve the problem?

The video images might be noisy if the Internet Camera is used in a very low light environment.

The are poor quallity, how can I improve the image quality?

Make sure that your computers display properties are set to at least 6-bit color. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer
will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image look as if it is of poor quality.

The configuration on the Internet Camera image display is incorrect. Through the Web Configuration Video section
of the web management you need to adjust the image related parameters for improved images such as: brightness,
contrast, hue and light frequency. Please refer to the Web Configuration section for detailed information.

Why are no Images available through the Web browser?

The ActiveX might be disabled. If you are viewing the images from Internet Explorer make sure ActiveX has been
enabled in the Internet Options menu. You may also need to change the security settings on your browser to allow the
ActiveX plug-in to be installed.

If you are using Internet Explorer with a version number of lower than 5, then you will need to upgrade your Web browser
software in order to view the streaming video transmitted by the Internet Camera.
