5. Getting started
System login
A. Installation in a network with the same address range (plug and play mode)
In order to be able to see the camera and congure it, you must rst ensure that the IP
1.
camera is within your network address range.
Note: Nexxt Solutions routers are configured within such parameters.
This means that if your internal network is congured with an IP address using
2.
192.168.0.XXX with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, you will be able to access the camera
directly by entering the default IP address into your web browser (Internet Explorer is the
recommended browser).
Access the camera using the web interface by typing the device IP address:
192.168.0.239, and then hit enter.
3.
4.
When done, skip to Step 13 to continue.
B.Installation in a network with a different address range (manual setup)
If your internal network is congured based on a different IP address range, you must
1.
change the IP address of the camera to match your network range. In that case, use the
BSearch_en.exe tool located on the supplied CD or on our Nexxt Solutions website.
Next, open BSearch_en.exe tool and click on the Search option located near the lower-left
2.
corner of the screen, or simply press F3 on your keyboard.
Under Local PC information, you will nd your PC’s network parameters.
3.
Under Device information, you will nd the default values of the IP camera.
4.
Under Device list, you will nd all the IP cameras detected on your network.
5.
In the example below, you will notice a PC connected to an internal network which is using
6.
an IP address of 192.168.1.14, a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, plus a Gateway and
a DNS1 of 192.168.1.1.
6
Page 7
Nexxt Solutions - IP Cameras XPY 500-510-520 Series
In order for you to access the camera successfully in this scenario, the user
7.
change the IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway and DNS to match the network
parameters of the local PC information or network.
Under Device information, change the IP address to 192.168.1.239, the Subnet
8.
mask to 255.255.255.0 and the Gateway and DNS, to 192.168.1.1.
Note: the IP address must fall within your network range, but outside your DHCP
pool to avoid any IP address conicts on your network. To view or change the Start
and End DHCP address range on your
network, refer to your router’s user manual for instructions.
Next, enter admin under Viewing Account and Viewing Password fields. Once
9.
done, you may click the Update button or press F5 on directly in your keyboard.
The tool will ask you to conrm the changes. Select Yes once prompted.
10.
7
Page 8
Nexxt Solutions - IP Cameras XPY 500-510-520 Series
A notication that the camera has updated the values successfully will be displayed. The
11.
camera will be restarted as soon as you click OK on the message window, as shown below.
8
Page 9
Nexxt Solutions - IP Cameras XPY 500-510-520 Series
Once the camera has completely restarted, you can verify the values to ensure they
12.
are congured correctly. Click on Search or press F3 on your keyboard, in order to
select the camera you have just programmed from the Device list. If all values contained in the Device information section are accurate, click on Browse or press F4
on your keyboard to access the camera directly using Internet Explorer.
NOTE: An alternate configuration method is accomplished using the Set IP automatically option, under the IP config menu. If you choose this option, your router will
assign an IP address automatically using its DHCP address range pool. This type of
conguration is normally not recommended, since the IP address will change every
time the lease time has expired for that specic address under the DHCP server.
This means you must use the search tool every time to determine the new IP
address once expired.
In this step, the Log in window will appear on the screen. By default, the administra-
13.
tor’s username and the password is admin. When done, click OK to continue.
