4. PoE (Power Over Ethernet) (Optional) 802.3af, 15.4W PoE Switch is

recommended

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a
standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to a network
device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as
that used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at
the camera locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible
power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.

12

C. IP Assignment

PC IP address: 192.168.1.100

Different Subnets:

IP CAM IP address: 192.168.2.200
PC IP address: 192.168.1.100

To Change the PC IP address:

Control PanelNetwork ConnectionsLocal Area Connection
PropertiesInternet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties

Please to make sure your IP Camera and PC have the same Subnet. If not,
please change IP Camera subnet or PC IP subnet accordingly.

x. A quick way to access remote monitoring is to left-click the mouse twice
