The DCS-950G also comes with remote monitoring capability for a complete and cost-effective home security solution.
Features and Benefits
Simple to Use: The DCS-950G is a stand-alone system with a built-in CPU, requiring no special hardware or software such as PC frame grabber cards. The
DCS-950G supports ActiveX mode for Internet Explorer. All that is required is a computer with Internet Explorer 6.0 or above.
Supports a Variety of Platforms: Supporting TCP/IP networking, HTTP, and other Internet related protocols. It can also be integrated easily into other
Internet/Intranet applications because of its standards-based features.

browser to a local hard drive without installing any software, making it convenient to instantly capture any moment from a remote location.
Record Directly to a NAS: The DCS-950G allows you to record directly to a local network area storage device without the use of a dedicated PC for storing
recorded video.
Low Light Recording: The DCS-950G’s 0.5 lux light sensitivity allows you to capture video in rooms with minimal lighting, making it ideal for use at night time. 802.11g Wireless or Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Support: The DCS-950G offers both 802.11g wireless and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet connectivity, making the
DCS-950G easy to integrate into your existing network environment. The DCS-950G works with a 10Mbps Ethernet based network or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet based network for traditional wired environments and works with 802.11g routers or access points for added flexibility. The Site Survey feature also allows you to view and connect to nearby wireless networks.
Web Configuration: Using a standard Web browser, Administrators can configure and manage the Internet Camera directly from its own Web page via the
Intranet or Internet. This means you can access your DCS-950G at anytime from anywhere in the world!
Remote Monitoring Utility: The IPView SE application adds enhanced features and functionality for the Internet Camera and allows administrators to configure
and access the Internet Camera from a remote site via Intranet or Internet. Other features include imag e monitoring, re cording images t o a hard drive, viewing up to 4 cameras on one screen, and taking snapshots.
Broad Range of Applications: With today’s high-speed Internet services, the Internet Camera can p rovide the ideal soluti on for live video images over the Intra net
and Internet for remote monitoring. The Internet Camera allows remote access from a Web browser for live image viewing and allows the administrator to manage and control the Internet Camera at anytime, from anywhere in the world. Many applications exist, including industrial and public monitoring of homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-care centers, and amusement parks.

Hardware Overview
Connections
Reset Button
Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and Power LED begins to flash.
Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed continuously for ten seconds. Release the reset button and the Power LED will begin to flash indicating that the DCS-950G’s settings are reverting back to the factory settings. The IP address will also return to the default setting of 192.168.0.20.
802.11g Antenna
The DCS-950G features an
802.11g wireless antenna for
802.11g wireless connectivity to your existing wireless network. The DCS-950G can be used in conjunction with an 802.11g compliant access point or router.
Ethernet Cable Connector
The DCS-950G features an RJ-45 connector for connections to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 UTP cable). The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the DCS-950G to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network.
The port also supports MDI/X, which
allows the use of either straight through or crossover cables.
DC Power Connector
The DC power input connector is labeled DC 5V with a single jack socket to supply power to the DCS-950G.
4
LEDs
Power LED
The Power LED is positioned on the right side of the DCS-950G lens. Steady orange confirms that the DCS-950G is powered ON.
Link LED
The Link LED is positioned on the right side of the DCS-950G’s lens. It is located below the Power LED. Steady green confirms a good connection
to the LAN.
Depending on the data traffic, the LED will begin to flash to indicate that the DCS-950G is receiving/transmitting from/to the
LAN network.
5
Hardware Installation
Attach the Antenna
Locate the antenna included with your DCS-950G and attach it to the antenna connector located on the back of the DCS-950G.
Attach the External Power Supply
Attach the external power supply to the DC power input connector located on the rear panel of the DCS-950G and connect it to your local power supply. Note: Power source is confirmed when the orange LED Power Indicator located to the right of the lens on the DCS-950G is illuminated.
Connect the Ethernet Cable
Connect the included Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the back panel of the DCS-950G and attach it to the network. Network Connectivity is confirmed when the green LED Indicator on the DCS-950G located below the Power LED is illuminated.
6
Attach the Mounting Bracket
If you would like to mount the camera on a wall, locate the necessary screws and continue with securing the bracket to the wall. To attach the mounting bracket to the Camera, simply attach the Camera’s base to the bracket (see illustration below).
7
Security
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the DCS-950G, the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to authorize all users. The DCS-950G supports multi-level password protection/access that can be restricted by the Administrator for defined users who have a User Name and User Password. The Administrator can release a public User Name and Password so that when remote users access the DCS-950G they will be allowed to view the images transmitted by the DCS-950G.
NOTE:
When the DCS-950G 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 DCS-950G since the Default settings for the Admin ID and Admin Password are both “admin.” Once the ID and Password are defined, only the Administrator has access to the management of the DCS-950G. This procedure should be done as soon as possible.
