Software Installation

In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Network Camera, and "Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Network Camera and grant user access to the camera.

At the end of the hardware installation, the Administrator must place the product software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC running in MS Windows. An auto-run program will pop up (If the program is not on auto-run, go to the root directory of the software CD and click on “autorun.exe”).

Install “IP CamLocator”

Click on “Install Software” item, after the window contains changed, click on “IP CamLocator” to run installation program.

Upon IP CamLocator’s start up, this program searches for LevelOne’s products on the same LAN. After searching, LevelOne Video Servers or Network cameras will be located by the IP CamLocator. There may be several entries shown in the window. The Administrator may differentiate the Network cameras with the model number and MAC address.

The IP addresses shown in the "IP Address" field reflect those on the local network. They may be from the DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server, the camera will try to find a free IP address (this takes from 15 second to 3 minutes, depending on the LAN status). The method of finding IP address is seeking from 192.168.0.2, to 192.168.0.254. If any of the address inside this range is free, the Network Camera will be assigned to this IP address, and its subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0.

Install “IP CamSecure”

Click”Install Software”

Click”IP CamSecure” and follow the onscreen instruction or refer to the user’s manual to complete installation.
