NETWORK CONNECTION*

There are two way to power a MEGApix®PA N O ™
camera.

Use a PoE switch to connect data and power through a single cable and
begin viewing and recording images instantly. A non-PoE switch will
require an adaptor for power transmission.

1. Using a PoE+ Switch / PoE+ Injector

The MEGApix® PANO™ Camera is PoE-Compliant, al l ow i ng tr ansmi ssi on of power and data
via a single Ethernet cable. PoE eliminates the need for the differen t cables used to power,
record, or control the camera. Fol low the illustration below to connect the camera to a PoE­enabled switch using an Ethernet cable. Please note that the camera requires a Class 3 PoE
Switch.

2. Using 12VDC

If a PoE switch is not available, use a power adaptor for power transmission and a non- PoE
switch for data transmission. Fol low the illustrations bel ow to connect the camera without a PoE
Injector.

software can be found on the included User Manual CD. Run DW IP Finder and install onto
your PC.

2. When setup is complete, launch DW IP Finder.

3. The software will automatically search your network for all Digital Watchdog® supported
devices. Your camera will appear as ” DWC-PF5M1TIR.”

4. Double-click on the camera name and select ‘View Camera Website’ to launch the camera’
web viewer.

*Install the DW IP Finder to a computer located on the same Subne t Mask as the MEGApix®
PANO™ camera.

13

DW IP Finder™ *

Using DW IP Finder™ Software

Use DW IP Finder™ to change the basic settings of your MEGApix®
camera or to connect to your MEGApix® camera.

14

DW IP Finder™ *

Using DW IP Finder™ Software

Use IP Finder to set the connection type and the IP address information
for your MEGApix® PANO™ camera.

1. DHCP: Select DHCP to access the camera within the same internal network. For further
explanation on DHCP, please see page 16.

2. Static IP: Select Static to connect to the camera from an external network. For further
explanation on Static, please see page 16.

*If you change the camera’s IP, write down the camera’s MAC Address for identification in the future.

15

DW IP Finder™ *

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a
device to configure automatically according to the network it is connected to.

If your network supports DHCP and your MEGApix® PANO™ camera is set to DHCP, IP Finder
will automatically find and set your MEGApix® PANO™ camera to correspond with your network
requirements.

Static

Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP or when
setting your device to be accessed externally via the internet. If Static is selected, you must
manually enter the correct network settings for your MEGApix® PANO™ camera. The settings will
correspond with your network. To set your camera to a static IP address, we recommend that you
(1) setup the camera to DHCP, (2) allow it to configure itself according to your network, and (3)
change the settings to a static IP address.

1. To set your MEGApix® PANO™ camera to Static, hig hli g ht the desi r ed device from the
search results list, and click on Configuration. In the “Network Configura ti o n” window, make
sure Static is selected.

2. Enter the following information: IP A ddress, Netmask, Gateway, and Preferred DNS.

3. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.

16

CAMERA REBOOT*

Resetting the Camera

Pressing the reset button on the camera’s back for five (5) seconds will
initialize all environmental variables to factory default. Previous setup
for IP default, time, etc. will be deleted. If a system’s IP address is
lost, reset the camera back to factory default.

The following are the default network settings for a network with no DHCP option. In a network with
DHCP, the camera’s IP address, subnet mask and gateway will be set automatically to match the
network’s setting s.

IP Mode 192.168.1.2

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

Gateway 192.168.1.1

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist.

I can’t find my MEGApix® PANO™ camera on the IP Finder software.

 Is the PoE cable connected properly?

Make sure cable is tightly connected at both ends. It should make a “click” sound when connected properly.
Make sure cable is intact and there are no cuts or exposed wires.

 If Yes, are the camera’s LED light turned on and blinking?

The camera’s LED lights indicate that the camera is powered on. Blinking LED light indicate that the camera has
finished booting up and is transmitting data.

 If Yes, is the internet working properly?

Make sure you can connect to the internet with other devices on the network (ex. Your Computer). Your internet
could be temporarily down.

 If Yes, if using a power adaptor, does it meet camera’s power requirements?

Power Requirements: DC12V (12VDC: 6W (LED On), PoE Class 3 (7W). Please note that if you plug the
camera into PoE but then plug that switch into a PoE it will not work properly/

 If Yes, if using PoE Switch, is it connected to a proper internet outlet and operating properly?

Make sure the PoE Switch is connected to a router/modem and the ports that have devices connected to them
have a green LED on.

 If Yes, is the computer on the same network as the MEGApix® PANO™ camera?

Camera and computer should be connected to the same router. Contact your network administrator if you have
more than one network available.

 If Yes, try connecting the camera to a different port in the PoE Switch.

That specific Switch Port may be damaged or currently not working properly.

 If Yes, try resetting the camera to default settings.

Press the 2 buttons in the back together and hold for 5 seconds. The camera will return to factory default with
default IP address set to DHCP. The camera will be found using the DW IP Finder software with an IP address
that matches your network’s requirements.

Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist.

I can’t connect to my MEGApix® PANO™ camera through the Web Browser

 Are the camera’s LEDs on and blinking?

The camera’s LED indicates the camera is On. If the LED blinks, the camera has finished booting up and is

 If Yes, is the computer on the same network as the IP camera?

Camera and computer should be connected on the same router. Contact your network administrator if you have
more than one network available.

 If Yes, try pinging the MEGApix® PANO™ camera’s IP address as it appears on the DW IP finder.

From your desktop, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Type “ping” followed by the
camera’s IP address; then, press Enter. If you get the message “Request timed out,” camera is not connected. If
you get data back, that means the camera is connected.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist.

Setting the IP Address for your PC

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is the default setting for the camera.
If the MEGApix® PANO™ camera is connected to a DHCP network and the camera’s IP Configuration Mode is set to

DHCP, the server will automatically assign an IP address to the camera. If the camera is using DHCP, the camera will
automatically obtain an IP Address from the network, and the default subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0.

The MEGApix® PANO™ camera can also connect to the web viewer using a static IP address. This will allow you to
set your own IP address manually.

Setup the Network Protocol on your PC.

1. Go to Network icon on your PC.

2. Right-click and select Properties.

3. Double-click Local Area Connection.

4. Click Properties.

5. Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).

6. Select Obtain an IP address automatically to set the computer to a dynamic IP address, or select Use the

following IP address to set the computer to a static IP address.

7. If the option Use the following IP address has been selected, setup the IP address as 192.168.1.XXX. The last

three digits should be a number between 1 and 254.
