5. Accessing the User Interface
This section explains how to access the Web interface of the camera for configuration.
5.1 Assigning an IP Address
You have to assign an IP address for your camera to be accessible. To assign an IP address to the camera,
use the IP Utility (IPU) software included in the software CD. Please connect the IP camera in the same
LAN of your computer.
1. Install and then start the IPU program . The following dialog box appears.
2. Click Find Devices to search the cameras connected in the LAN. The default network values of
the cameras will be displayed. By default, the network protocol of the camera is DHCP.
3. To configure the network settings, select a camera and then click Login/Multi Login to log in.
4. Type the user ID and password. Click OK.
Note:
1. The default user ID is user1 and the default password is 11111111.
2. If you select more than one camera that has the same user ID / password, you will be able
to log in several cameras at once.
EZN Plus Series

5. To change the IP address, double-click the IP Address of the camera. Type a new IP address and
then click Set IP Address to save the settings.
You can also change the other settings by double-clicking the values. After configuring the values,
click Save Configuration.
Note: Most networks support DHCP protocol, but if you are unsure of your network protocol,
please consult your IP administrator for network configuration details.
6. To access the camera, highlight the camera and click Connect to Selected IP. The Internet
Explorer window pops up.
7. Type the user ID and password to log in. The Live View window of the camera appears.
Note: You might be required to download ActiveX, which is required to view the camera feed.

5.3 Connecting the Camera to the Network
There are three methods to connect the IP camera to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct
High-Speed Connection and One-to-One Connection.
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 7.3.2 DDNS. To set up port forwarding, please consult the
manual of the router.
Right: Pinout of a straight-through cable.
EZN Plus Series
14
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”, where
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 7.3.2 DDNS.
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:
Pinout of straight patch cable
Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.

limit the number of streams. See 7.4.1 Multi Streaming.
2. Press the button to play the recorded data directly from the on-camera Micro
SD / SDHC card (for this function to become active, you have to insert a Micro SD / SDHC card in the
Micro SD / SDHC card slot on the rear panel of the camera. See 7.8.3 SD Card).
EZN Plus Series
16
3. Press the button to enter the Settings page. On the Settings page, there are
8 submenu sections: [System Info], [User Config], [Network], [Video], [Audio], [User], [Event] and
[System]. Click on the section buttons to open their configuration fields. See the Settings section
below for more information.
4. Press the button to exit the system and close this browser page.
5. Video Stream
Select the Video Stream (Stream 1, Stream 2 or Stream 3) that will be displayed in the video box on
the right. Stream 2 and Stream 3 are only selectable if you have enabled the stream. The default
setting is Stream 1 only. See 7.4.1 Multi Streaming.
6. View Size
Use this to select the appropriate view size and shape of the video box on the right. A smaller size
might increase transmission speed and video quality.
7. Digital Zoom
Click the Zoom In / Zoom Out buttons or roll the mouse wheel to zoom in / out the camera live view
up to 10x. Clicking on a magnified image will re-center the image around that point.
8. One Push
This function is only available for EZN3160 Plus / 3260 Plus. The One Push button can be displayed
on the live view window by enabling the Show One Push Buttons function on the User Config < Live
View Config Setting page (see 7.2.1 Live View Config). To enable the button (turned from faded to
clear), on the Video < Advanced Setting page, select One Push from the White Balance Settings
Mode drop-down list, and click the Apply button. Once this is done, pressing the One Push button
on the Live View Window will instruct the camera to adjust the white balance settings, and these
settings will be active until the button is pushed again. This is like a “semi-automatic” way to adjust
white balance to suit the user, if the Auto or Manual mode does not give the result the user wants.
9. Record
The Record button is used to record the current video stream. Click the Record button to start /
stop recording. This icon is only for one-minute video recording. To record long-period recordings,

– Trigger Event
Press the “Trigger Event” button to trigger an event directly from the Live View window. If you have
configured an event (in the Event submenu) that will trigger a reaction (like a recording) when a
Manual Trigger event occurs, clicking this button will trigger that reaction. You can select what that
reaction will be. You can, for instance, set the camera to record the audio/video feed to the SD card
on board the camera. You can then click on the Playback button to open the Playback page and
search for and play all such recordings that had been stored on the card. Such event actions will be
effective once they have been configured in the “Event” menu (see 7.7 Event).
– Reset Alarm
Press the “Reset Alarm” button to reset the alarm output remotely.
13. Lens Control
These buttons control the lens actions. Click the icon to focus closer quickly. Click the
icon to focus closer slowly. Click the icons to focus farther quickly or slowly. Click the
icons to zoom in quickly or slowly. Click the icons to zoom out quickly or slowly.
14. Status Display (info line that can be placed above video box or at bottom of page)
This shows the name of the camera that is currently active or being configured, current date/time
and current frame rate. You can activate these info displays in the Settings > User Config page (see
