Locate the antenna
connector on the left side
of the camera’s rear panel.
Screw the base of the
antenna (included with the
HNC290G) into the
antenna connector.
2 Locate the network cable connector (RJ-45 port) on the
camera’s rear panel. Connect an Ethernet cable to the port.
Connect the other end of the cable to the network (i.e. a
router or switch). NOTE: For initial setup, you will need
to use a wired connection. After completing the setup and
configuration, you can begin using your camera wirelessly.

the camera is lit to ensure
that the camera is
powered on. (To confirm
that there is a network

2 The Setup Wizard will search for similar cameras that are
available on your local area network. A “similar” camera will
have the same code of four letters at the beginning of its serial
number. This code is “HEMT” and can be found on either the
right or left panel of the box, or on the label on the bottom of
the camera.
10
Each available camera will be displayed in the camera list
with its MAC address, current default or configured IP
address, and model number. (NOTE: The Setup Wizard may
display an IP address for the new camera that is already
consistent with your local area network [LAN] settings, rather
than the default one.) In the camera list, click on the camera
you would like to configure so that it is highlighted blue, and
then click Next. (If you are unsure about which camera you
would like to configure, you can compare a camera’s MAC
address in the camera list with the one printed on the label on
the underside of the camera.)
NOTE: If the camera list does not display any available
cameras, you should:
a. Click on the “Rescan Camera” button, and
b. Make sure that all available similar network cameras are
connected properly to the network.
If neither option above is successful, you can also perform a
factory default reset on the camera by holding down the
“Reset” button on its back panel for at least five seconds.
Then, allow about 45 seconds to one minute for the camera to
complete the reboot process. This should resolve the issue.
