Product Installation

1. Monitor Setting

I. Right-Click on the desktop. Select “ Properties”.

II. Change color quality to highest (32bit).

2. Hardware Installation

I. Connect power adaptor II. Connect Ethernet cable III. Connect IP Camera to PC or network IV. Set up the network configurations according to the network environment. For further explanation,

please refer to chapter VI, “Network Configuration for IP CAMERA”.

3. IP Assignment

IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network settings of the network camera. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary.

z Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP addre ss to your server in ord er to

avoid using a previously assigned IP address.

z Ensure the network camera is powered on and correctly connected to the network. z MAC Address: Each network camera has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the

sticker of the camera.

z One final note, although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any network camera on the

LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of the network camera, the host P C must be in the same subnet. For more information about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
