5. Connecting to the Network

You can use one of the methods below to connect the camera to the network.

Direct High-Speed Connection

In a Direct High-Speed Connection, the camera connects directly to a modem without the need for a

router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet Service

Provider) in the camera’s configuration web pages. To access the camera, just type

“http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a

dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.

Please refer to 7.1.1 Network (DDNS) in the User’s Manual.

Router or LAN Connection

This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows

multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must be

assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the router,

you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To remotely access

the Web interface of the IP camera, please refer to 7.1.1 Network (DDNS) in the User’s Manual. To

set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router.

Cat 5

Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.

One-to-One Connection (Directly from PC to IP camera)

You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC connected

to the camera will be able to view the IP camera. You will also have to manually assign a compatible

IP address to both the computer and the IP camera. Unless the PC has another network connection,

the IP camera will be the only network device visible to the PC. See the diagram below:

6. Upgrading Firmware

You can upgrade camera’s firmware using the IP Utility software, which is included in the software

CD.

1. Install and then start the IPU program , the following IPU window appears. The IPU will

automatically search the IP devices connected in the LAN.
