CAM_EZ Search is an IP search engine offered by this product. It can search IP CAM
connected in LAN. Through sending the inquiry of broadcasting packets, after IP CAM
responds the question, the window will display a list of all IP CAMs in the network. And it
allows you to modify the network settings of specified IP CAM, such as IP address or IP
CAM naming.
CAM_EZ Search Screen
: The following connection is suitable for IP-CAM test/fixed IP address change/program
code update (strongly recommended).
The operation steps are listed below:
A. Installing the Product for the first time:
l You computer must be equipped with network card and RT-45 network
connector.
l Connect the RJ-45 terminator on the rear of IP-CAM to the red test network
cable. One end is connected to the network card of computer; the other end
is connected to the rear side of the IP-CAM.
l Connect the power adaptor to the power port (on the rear) of IP-CAM. Now,
the status LED on the top of IP-CAM will light up.
B. Check if the IP addresses for PC network and CAM_EZ Search are on the
same network section:
l Usually, static IP address will be used to access into Internet, so the IP
address will vary. When you want to change IP address, please write
down the original IP address on your computer first. Then you have to
modify the IP address of your computer for testing if the IP-CAM can be
operated normally or not. After finishing the test, IP address for your
computer should be recovered to original settings.
l In general, the IP address for your computer in LAN will be set with “Auto
Obtain IP address”. To test if the IP-CAM is normal or not, the IP
address of your computer must be changed temporarily. After finishing
the test, it can be recovered to original settings.
C. Next, choose Control Panel->Network Connections->choose the activated area
Network Connections---> right click your mouse --->select Properties(P)--->
Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)---> Select Properties(R) , then you can check
the current IP address status for the computer. The way to modify IP address is:

A: IP Camera is an independent system that can connect to network or wireless network directly. It
is different with general camera. It is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and transmits
high-quality video monitoring images via browser control and network. The IP Camera can setup or
view the Web browser of remote PC/Notebook through network.
Q2: How many IP Cameras are allowed to be connected in LAN?
A: Eight IP Cameras are allowed to be connected in LAN at one time. Transmitting too many packets
through LAN might lower down the efficiency of the network.
Q3: What algorithm that DN-16023 uses for compressing images?
A: IP CAM uses JPEG file format to compress the images and uses dynamic JPEG image
compressing technology to process dynamic videos. Thus it can ensure both high-quality screen
IP CAM USER’S GUIDE PAGE 53/57 Rev. PV1.0
Page 54
`
IP CAM User’s Guide
and high-compression ratio of the images. JPEG is a standard industry image compression
technology, which can apply in various programs of browsers and does not need any plug-in
software for viewing.
Q4: How can I promote the image quality?
A1: Please make sure the color setting for your monitor display is 16 bits or above. 16 color or 256
color will reduce the image quality for your monitor display and result in bad quality of the video
images,
Q5: Can I capture the static images from IP Camera manually?
A: Yes. You can capture the static image form the IP Camera. While browsing the screen on network,
right click the mouse on the static image or click Snapshot button on the screen to save
the picture with another filename. You can click the Re-arrange button on the browser to re-capture
the new screen via IP Camera.

A: Standard RJ-45 Category 5 UTP twisted pair is necessary for IP CAM IP CAM to connect 10
Base-T and 100 Base-T network communication.
Q8: Can I use IP CAM as general PC camera?
A: No. DN-16023 IP CAM can connect and transmit through network or wireless network only, and
cannot be used with the same usage as a general PC Camera.
Q9: Why the time setting for the image is incorrect?
A: Please confirm the setting of SNTP is correct or not, especially Gateway must be able to connect
Internet. And make sure SNTP server can work normally. In addition, while initiating the system,
it will connect to SNTP sever to synchronize watches. Later it will be performed again for every
hour.
Q10: Why the IP Address cannot be renewed?
A: Please make sure if there is any IP address of certain device uses the same IP address with IP
CAM. If yes, please connect IP CAM to your computer to get rid of the interference of other devices.
Then, the update of IP address can be carried out.
Q11: Why DN-16023 can be searched by IP Search Tool but cannot be linked by IE browser?

Q20: When the mails cannot be sent out, what things will DN-16023 do for it?
A: If DN-16023 found that the mails could not be sent out due to some reasons, it would stop the
action of sending this mail out and return to the status of normal operation. It will not execute the
work of retry.
Installation Problems of IP Camera
Q1: Can IP Camera be operated in the environment of virtual IP (general local network)?
A: Sure. DN-16023 IP Camera can be operated in the environment of virtual IP (general local
network).
Q2: Can DN-16023 IP Camera be installed inside the firewall of network?
A: If the IP Camera is behind the firewall, port 80 usually is used for common web page
communication. You can change the port number for the IP Camera with 80 simply. And the system
will be active normally. Also, you can modify the firewall settings manually to make IP Camera
passing through the firewall easily. Or you can modify the NAT Route setting, and invoke NAT
forward function or DMZ function. It can forward the internal packets on the external network to the
virtual IP address in the network.
Q3: I cannot connect IP Camera through IE browser.
A1: It might be that the IP address has been used by other device. To solve this problem, you have
to disconnect the IP Camera with network. Then, use CAM_EZ Search to assign another IP address
that no device uses to the IP Camera.
A2: Check the LED on the network. Green and orange LEDs should blink. The green LED in the
front side will light or dark regularly. If not, please check the connection of the network between two
ends.
A3: Please make sure IP address and communication port that you connect are correct. You can
use CAM_EZ Search tool to inspect the settings of IP Camera. Please confirm the gateway settings
of IP Camera matching the settings on gateway/router. It might be errors in the gateway, please
refer to the description of the gateway.
A4: Please check if there is any conflict happened among the communication port (initialing value
=80) of IP Camera, the IP setting/Gateway setting, and your gateway/router. Please modify the
settings manually.
IP CAM USER’S GUIDE PAGE 56/57 Rev. PV1.0
Page 57
`
IP CAM User’s Guide
A5: If the IP Camera is installed inside LAN (behind NAT Router), then the external Internet Explorer
of NAT Router cannot join to this IP Camera. You can modify DMZ or NAT forwarding function of the
router to assist the packets in Internet to be directed to this IP Camera correctly. At the same time,
you can open DDNS function to make the network address connecting to this IP Camera easily and
conveniently.
Q4: The power LED blinks for a long time. What’s wrong with it?
A: It might have trouble in power supply. Please make sure the power supply is offered by IP CAM.
The specification is DC 5V1A. In addition, please check if power cord connection and power adaptor
are installed properly. If there are problems still, please contact with your dealer quickly.
Q5: The network LED indicates there is a problem occurred, why?
A1: It might be something wrong with your network cable. Please make sure the network cable is OK.
If the network cable is not normal, please replace a new and normal cable. Then the problem can be
solved.
A2: There might be something wrong with the network equipment connecting to IP Camera, e.g., hub
or switch. Please make sure the power of these devices is connected correctly. Then, shut down and
restart the device for initiating test.
Q6: IP Camera cannot move smoothly in LAN, why?
A1: It might be that a firewall protects it. Please use the highest administrator of the system to inspect
the firewall settings. When you want to connect IP Camera of inner network from external network,
you probably need to change the firewall settings.
A2: Please make sure there is no conflict between IP Camera and other devices in the network.
A3: The default router might result in such problem. Please check your router’s settings and adjust to
allow IP Camera connecting to external area of LAN. (For example, you use NAT forwarding or DMZ
function of the router to make the inner network connecting to outside world.)
Q7: Why the image is in the black after you properly set up your IP cam?
A: It could be the effected by the safety re-new program from Microsoft, please check with
