Important Information

1. Camera surveillance laws may differ for each country. Contact the local

authorities to avoid any surveillance law violations.

2. Note that the image sensor of this network camera can be damaged

permanently if exposed to direct sunlight. Defective image sensors that
have been damaged by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight are excluded
from the product warranty.

3. Indoor network cameras are not weatherproof. Refer to the environmental

specifications included in the back of this manual. For outdoor use, use a
weatherproof case to protect the camera from water, moisture or
temperature (higher or lower than specifications). To keep the camera
clean, gently wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.

4. Be sure to use only the DC adapter provided with your camera. If your

network camera supports Power over Ethernet (see the product
information at the end of this user manual for details), you can use an IEEE

802.3af-compliant PoE injector (mid- or endspan) to provide power to the
camera.

5. Always handle the camera with care, as physical shocks can cause serious

damage to the hardware.

6. Be sure to mount the camera securely to avoid any personal injuries. Keep

the camera out of the reach of children.

7. If the camera does not operate properly, contact your local distributor. Do

not disassemble the product, as that will void the warranty.

8. Technical product support is provided by your dealer or distributor via e-

mail and phone. Additional technical support is provided by INTELLINET
NETWORK SOLUTIONS via the Web site www.intellinet-network.com.

9. Before contacting technical support, be sure to verify that your camera has

the latest firmware version installed (you can access the camera’s system
information page to find out). To expedite your technical support request,
it is recommended to include a very detailed error description in your
message.

10. Should the camera not power up upon initial installation, you need to

discontinue the use of the product immediately.

11. Returns and replacements of defective products are handled by our

network of authorized dealers. Contact the place of purchase.

12. Used cameras, especially those that they were purchased on auction Web

sites, are excluded from the product warranty.

1: Product Overview

1.1 Network Cameras

Network cameras are closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that use the
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to transmit image data over an Ethernet or Wireless
LAN connection. As such, network cameras are also referred to as IP cameras.
IP cameras are primarily used for surveillance applications. A number of IP
cameras are normally deployed together with a digital video recorder (DVR) or
a network video recorder (NVR) to form a video surveillance system. Since
network cameras are equipped with an operating system, they do not require
the presence of a DVR or NVR in order to function. In addition, a network
camera can transmit data in a local network as well as over the Internet.
Access to a network camera is typically achieved with a standard Web browser,
such as MS Internet Explorer or Firefox.

1.2 Network Video Servers

A network video server allows connection to an analog CCTV camera via coaxial
cable.

itself is connected to the network.

4: Installation

4.1 Connecting to the Camera

Connect the RJ45 network cable from the camera’s LAN port to your network;
e.g., the router or a LAN switch, then power on the camera. The boot sequence
will take about one minute. You will need to use the camera’s power adapter,
unless your camera supports PoE (see section 1.3 Model Overview). In that
case you can connect the RJ45 cable to a PoE enabled switch or injector to
power the camera.

By default, the network camera (or video server) searches for a DHCP server
on the network and obtains an IP address automatically. A very common DHCP
server is a router, a device that is found on most networks.

The presence of a DHCP server on your network simplifies the installation and
users with limited knowledge of TCP/IP networks can install the network
camera in minutes. If no DHCP server is found, the network camera will revert
to its default IP address 192.168.1.221.

On Windows systems, you want to use the IP Installer utility that finds the
camera on the network and lets you make changes to the configuration.

Once the camera is set up properly, it can be accessed with the computer’s
Web browser. The following sections describe the procedure for Windows,
MacOS and Linux users.

- 26 -

4.1.1 Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7

Insert the Installation CD into the CD or DVD-Drive.
After a few moments, the CD will automatically start
and display the screen below. If that does not happen,
you need to browse the CD with Windows Explorer and
double-click the autorun.exe file.

1. User Manuals

The user manual for the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Network
Camera is available in electronic form on the installation CD, along with
user manuals in different languages.
If you encounter differences between the screen shots shown in the user
manual and the actual screen contents, it is recommended that you open
the manual from the CD, as it may be a newer edition than the printed
version.

2. IP Installer for Windows

This utility is designed to find the network camera on your network and lets
you make changes to the configuration.

3. Video Surveillance Software

Refer to Chapter 6 Video Surveillance Software.

- 27 -

IP Installer for Windows Installation

Before you start with the installation, make sure that you are connected to
your computer with a user account that has administrator rights. The
screen shots below are taken from an installation on a Windows XP system.
The procedure on Vista and Windows 7 systems is similar.

To begin the installation, click on the link “IP Installer for Windows.” After
that, depending on your system’s settings, you may see the message
shown below.

Click on “Run” to continue …

… and click on “Yes” to begin the installation.

Select your preferred installation language, and then click on “Next.”
Click on “Next” on the following screen as well.

- 28 -

Specify the location where the program should be installed. The default path is
OK to be used on most systems. Click on “Browse…” to select a different
location and click on “Next” to continue.

Select the Windows Start Menu folder.

Select or de-select the optional Xvid Codec and MSN Plugin. If you are not sure
about these options, it is recommended to keep them selected.
Click “Next” to continue.

- 29 -

Verify the installation summary and click “Install” to begin the installation.

Once the installation has completed, click on “Finish”.

A new shortcut has been created on your computer
desktop; Double-click it to start the application.

- 30 -

IP Installer for Windows

When the program starts, you are presented with the screen shown below.
Depending on your camera model, the screen may look slightly different, but
the functionality is the same. The IP Installer utility lists all cameras that can be
found on your network. With this utility you can make changes to the
configuration, perform a firmware upgrade, restore the camera to factory
default values, and reboot the camera. Note: It may take up to three minutes
for IP Installer to show a camera that has been recently (re-)started.

The application has three main tabs: Camera, User and About.

Camera tab

UPnP device list: All cameras that are found on the network are displayed on

this tab. Cameras that are shown in red are currently
configured for a different network and cannot be accessed
with the Web browser before the IP settings of the camera
have been adjusted to your network (see Setup).

Search: The Search button can be used to refresh the view. Typically
it is not required to push the button, as the utility starts

scanning the network as soon as it is started.

Link to IE: Select the camera from the list and click this button to open

the camera with MS Internet Explorer. Note: This function
does not work for other Web browsers; however, you can
open the browser manually and open the URL
http://camera_ip_as_shown_in_list (in the example above,
you would open http://192.168.0.102).
