Connect Audio In/Out
For audio functionality, connect the audio input cable.
Information
Video flicker may occur when enabling/disenabling audio. This
situation normally only lasts for a second.
Power on IP Camera
Connect the power adapter to the power connector. The adapter should be
connected to 110V~220V AC socket. There is no power button on the camera, so
connecting/disconnecting the power adapter will start/shutdown the IP camera.
Initial Network Configuration
To configure the IP camera’s network settings use the IP Scan utility Factory IP
Address.
Below are the initial factory IP address settings for the IP camera:
IP Address 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1

Working with the Video Server
Using the IP Scan
IP Scan allows users to easily find an IP camera and configure the settings. Doubleclick on the IPScan.exe icon in the Installation CD to execute IP Scan utility.
Press the Scan button to list the IP and MAC address list for IP cameras on the
network.
A new IP camera will display the factory IP address, 192.168.1.2. However, if
multiple new devices are present on the network, then multiple instances of
192.168.1.2 will be listed.
