Chapter 2 Network Connection
Before you start:
If you want to set the IP network camera via a LAN (Local Area Network), please
refer to Section 2.1 Setting the IP network camera over the LAN.
If you want to set the IP network camera via a WAN (Wide Area Network), please
refer to Section 2.2 Setting the IP network camera over the WAN.
2.1 Setting the IP network camera over LAN
To view and configure the camera via a LAN, you need to connect the IP network
camera in the same subnet as your computer. Install the SmartWatch® System
Manager software to search and change the IP of the IP network camera.
2.1.1 Wiring over LAN
The following diagrams show the two ways of connecting an IP network camera to
computer:
To test the IP network camera, you can directly connect the IP network camera
to the computer with a network cable as shown in Figure 2-1.
Refer to the Figure 2-2 to set the IP network camera up over LAN via a
switch/router.
Figure 2-1 Connecting Directly
Figure 2-2 Connecting via a Switch or a Router
Page 9
SmartWatch® IP Network Camera User Manual

2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address
You need the IP address to connect to the IP network camera.
Steps:
1. To get the IP address, install the System Manager client software. This will
display a list of online devices. Please refer to the user manual of System
Manager client software for more detailed information.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same range as that of your
computer.
3. Enter the IP address of the IP network camera in the address field of the web
browser to view the live video.
The default IP address is 192.0.0.64 and the port number is 8000. The default user name
is admin, and password is 12345.
For accessing the IP network camera from different subnets, please set the gateway for
the IP network camera after logging in. For more detailed information, please refer to
Section 5.3.1 Configuring TCP/IP Settings.
Figure 2-3 System Manager Interface
Page 10
SmartWatch® IP Network Camera User Manual

2.2 Setting the IP network camera over WAN
This section explains how to connect to the IP network camera via WAN with a static
IP or a dynamic IP.
2.2.1 Static IP Connection
Before you start:
Please apply for a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP
address, you can connect the IP network camera via a router.
Connecting the IP network camera via a router
Steps:
1. Connect the IP network camera to the router.
2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2
Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed IP address configuration of
the camera.
3. Save the static IP address in the router.
4. Set port mapping, e.g., 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. Port mapping will vary
depending on what router you have. Please refer to the router manufacturer.
5. Connect to the IP network camera through a web browser or the client software
over the internet.
Figure 2-4 Accessing the Camera through Router with Static IP
Connecting the IP network camera with static IP directly
You can also save the static IP address in the camera and directly connect it to the
internet without using a router. Refer to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP
Address for detailed IP address configuration of the camera.
Figure 2-5 Accessing the Camera with Static IP Directly
Page 11
SmartWatch® IP Network Camera User Manual
11 11
2.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection
Before you start:
If you have a dynamic IP from an ISP, you can connect the IP network camera to a
modem or a router.
Connecting the IP network camera via a router
Steps:
1. Connect the IP network camera to the router.
2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer
to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed LAN
configuration.
3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4. Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping
may vary depending on the router.
5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6. Configure the DDNS settings in the router.
7. Connect to the camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the IP network camera via a modem
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera automatically gets
a public IP address by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You
need to configure the PPPoE parameters of the IP network camera. Refer to Section
5.3.3 Configuring PPPoE Settings for detailed configuration.
Figure 2-6 Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always changes
after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you need to get a
domain name from the DDNS provider (E.g. DynDns.com). Please follow below steps for
normal domain name resolution and private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
Normal Domain Name Resolution
Page 12
SmartWatch® IP Network Camera User Manual
12 12
Figure 2-7 Normal Domain Name Resolution
Steps:
1. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
2. Configure the DDNS settings in the DDNS Settings interface of the IP network
camera. Refer to Section 5.3.4 Configuring DDNS Settings for detailed
configuration.
3. Connect to the camera via the applied domain name.
Private Domain Name Resolution
Figure 2-8 Private Domain Name Resolution
Steps:
1. Install and run the IP Server software in a computer with a static IP.
2. Access the IP network camera through the LAN with a web browser or the client
software.
3. Enable DDNS and select IP Server as the protocol type. Refer to Section 5.3.4
Configuring DDNS Settings for more detailed configuration.

camera can send the alarm event and exception messages to the surveillance center.
The SNMP version you select should be the same as that of the SNMP software. And you
also need to use the different version according to the security level you required. SNMP v1
provides no security and SNMP v2 requires password for access. And SNMP v3 provides
encryption and if you use the third version, HTTPS protocol must be enabled.
