3 Installation Summary
1. Connect the Ethernet and power to the Pro Series Network Camera.
2. Install and launch the IP Installer program on the enclosed CD.
3. Assign an IP address and network settings
4. Securely mount the camera.
5. Adjust the lens focus.
4 Assigning an IP Address & Accessing the Camera’s
Homepage
4.1 Assigning an IP Address
To access the camera, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.
Install the IP address installation program (IP Installer.exe) on a PC that is connected to the
same local network as the camera.
Network IP Address:
A network IP address is an identification code for computers or devices on a
TCP/IP network. Networks using TCP/IP protocols route messages based on
the IP address of the destinations within a closed network. IP addresses can be
assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a
private network to the Internet requires using registered, public IP addresses to
avoid duplicates. An IP address can be acquired from a network administrator
or an Internet service provider. IMPORTANT: Use the newly assigned IP
address, and NOT any occupied IP address or the default or example IP
address. It is highly recommended that you assign an IP address before placing
the camera in a remote location or remote network.
MAC (Ethernet) Address (Media Access Control Address):
A MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each
device of a network. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media.
Consequently, each type of network media requires a different MAC layer. The
MAC address of your Pro Series Network Camera is a 12-digit number. A
unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each camera.
9
4.2 Assigning an IP address Using IP Installer
4.2.1 Connecting the Camera to a PC
1. Connect with a direct cable (non-crossover UTP cable) when connecting the camera to a
switch, hub or router.
2. Connect with a crossover UTP cable when connecting the camera to a PC.
4.2.2 Using IP Installer
To install an IP address, you should use the IP Installer provided with the Pro Series Network
Camera. You can download its program through the Web site: http://INTELLINET NETWORK
SOLUTIONS-network.com. NOTE: The minimum requirement for IP Installer is Windows
9x/NT/2000.
1. Run IP Installer after the camera is done
booting (wait until the Operating Status LED
blinks every second).
2. Once IP Installer is run, the panel shows
every camera connected on the local
network. From the cameras listed, select one
to assign a new IP address (every Pro Series
Network Camera has a factory default IP
address).
NOTE: The MAC address can be found on
the underside label of the camera. To choose
a camera, click on its MAC address on the
list.
3. Enter the administrator ID and password in
the blank (default ID and password are both
“admin”) to assign or change the IP address
for the camera and setup.
4. Enter the IP address, gateway address,
subnet mask address, DNS server address
and server IP address assigned by the
network administrator. (When the addresses
are not assigned properly, you cannot access the camera.) The server IP address represents
an IP address of a PC being used to execute the upgrade program when updating the
camera (refer to Appendix E: Updating Firmware).
5. After entering all addresses for the camera, click on “Change Network Configurations.”
The message shows up if all the information is set up properly. Then click the “OK” button.
NOTE: After changing the network configuration, it may take a little time to reboot the camera

4.3 Assigning an IP Address Using HyperTerminal
NOTE: This section is for advanced users only. This procedure is not normally required.
4.3.1 Configuring HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is a basic program for Windows 9x/NT/2000. A PC can communicate with
external devices through the serial port by using this program. The steps you should take to set
the HyperTerminal are as follows with a Windows 2000 OS:
1. Go to Start Programs Accessories Communications HyperTerminal. Select one of
the icons and then enter an appropriate name in the box.
2. Select a serial port of the PC, then click “OK.” (Usually COM1 or COM2 is recommended.)
3. Configure bit/sec as 115200 and leave other settings at the default values.
11
4. The window should display as below when configured properly. (If it doesn’t, try again from
the beginning.)
4.3.2 Using HyperTerminal
Follow these steps to assign an IP address using HyperTerminal.
1. Run HyperTerminal on your PC.
2. Connect the RS-232 cable from the serial port of the PC (selected in section 4.3.1:
Configuring Hyper Terminal) to the camera serial port while HyperTerminal is active.
3. Turn the camera on.
4. A countdown will start with the message “Press any key to stop auto-boot.”
5. Press any key to display the “Boot” screen as shown below.
12
NOTE: You can view the network configuration while the boot window is on screen by entering
“ps” again.
Here, the IP address, netmask, gateway, TFTP server and MAC address (Ethernet address)
values are network configuration values. You should change these values in most cases. If you
don’t know what value you should assign, refer to the network administrator.
IP Address and subnet mask addresses are separated by colon (:). For example, the IP
address is represented by decimal numbers delimited by a dot (.) like “192.168.1.27.”
Hexadecimal numbers like “ffffff00” (in the case of 255.255.255.0) represent a subnet mask
address. Note that the numbers of the subnet mask value are not delimited by a dot.
Gateway (g) is the gateway address of the camera.
TFTP Server IP is the address to which the camera tries to connect to upgrade its firmware
program in flash memory. The camera first searches this host on the network during the
booting sequence. For information on any Pro Series Network Camera upgrade, refer to
Appendix E.
MAC Address is the Ethernet address of Network Camera.
13
NOTE: Enter “cs” to change the network configuration during the boot prompt. If you enter “cs,”
the camera shows you the information for which you can change values and the current
assigned values. You can make changes as shown below.
When you terminate the HyperTerminal program after you have changed the network
configuration, it asks if you wish to save the session. If you save the session, you can re-use
HyperTerminal. To re-use the session you saved, click Start Programs Accessories
Communications HyperTerminal MPEG4 Network Camera.ht (with Windows XP/2000).
4.4 Accessing the Camera’s Homepage
After assigning an IP address, you can access the camera and monitor real-time images over
the Internet. You can configure the camera within its own pages through any standard Web
browser on a local or remote network.
4.4.1 Starting the Web Browser

NOTE: The camera’s ActiveX program is based on an MS Windows OS. Therefore, it is
impossible to access the camera and monitor real-time images through a default viewer. If a
user accesses the camera through Macintosh or Unix systems, the camera detects that the OS
is not MS Windows and it operates a Java-based image viewer to show real-time images.
Some functions are not available for Java Applet.
It is highly recommended that Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher is selected for the ActiveX viewer
for Windows 95/98/2000/NT. Otherwise, selected the Java Applet viewer.

5 Adjusting the Camera Lens
5.1 Adjusting the Focus
To get the finest image, adjust the lens focus according to your environment. To make this
adjustment, simply turn the lens in either direction till you get the most well-defined image
edges while viewing the picture quality on your Web browser.
NOTE: Do not force the lens beyond either the clockwise or counterclockwise limit. Also, a good
level of focus is normally achievable throughout several planes within the camera’s focusing
spectrum. Since optimum focusing is dependent upon the camera’s field of view, it is important
to scan the focusing plane from the closest to furthest perspectives before attempting
any fine-tuning.
5.2 Replacing the Lens
The Pro Series Network Camera is designed with a CS mount. The lens supplied with your

To prevent any unauthorized use of the camera, access is strictly restricted to defined users.
Administrator(s) has exclusive access to the administrator tools, and can determine the
registration and access rights for all users.
Enter your ID and password, then click “Submit” (default ID and password are all “admin”).
NOTE: Although the administrator’s default username and password (set to “admin” for all)
can be used for logging in to the unit for the first time, it is highly recommended that you
change this password for your camera as soon as possible since all Pro Series Network
Camera products are shipped with the same ID and password as defaults. Also, make sure to
click “Submit” after verifying any reset configuration; otherwise, it won’t be changed.
6.2 Image Configuration
Rate Control
Select the rate control by selecting the VBR (variable bitrate) or CBR (constant bitrate) control.
In VBR mode, the picture quality is fixed with fixed quantization value and the bitrate varies
automatically in reaction to the complexity of the video to maintain the set quality, thus using
more bandwidth for complex video and less bandwidth for lower-activity video. VBR is
appropriate for storage applications, and can be used where video needs to be streamed over
a fixed-bandwidth link.
In CBR mode, the bitrate is fixed irrespective of image complexity, and the picture quality is
automatically adjusted by the MPEG4 encoder on a frame-by-frame basis to maintain the preset average bitrate. Thus, the network bandwidth consumption is always fixed and predictable.
CBR is of particular benefit where video needs to be streamed over a fixed-bandwidth link.
