Preparation
Search and Set up by IPWizard
When you installed the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to
search your Cameras by IPWizard or UPnP discovery. Here is the way to execute
IPWizard to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.
Search
When click Search button, a searching window will pop up. IPWizard is starting to
search Network Cameras on the LAN . The mes sage “No Network Camera Is Foun d” will
appear on this window if IPWizard can not find any device on the LAN. Otherwise,
existed devices will be listed as below.
13/83
Network Camera User’s Guide
If IPWizard finds network devices, Wizard button will be available. Please select the
device you want to set-up or connect and click the left button of the mouse on the
Information Box. The words on the Information Box will turn from white to yellow which
means this device is selected. Or you cou ld double c lick the left button to connec t to the
network device. Relative settings will be carried out after you press Installation Wizard.
Details of Installation Wizard will be specified as below.
Wizard

Network Camera User’s Guide
When Wizard button is available, you can proceed to set up relative settings on the
selected device. Further procedures can be c arried out when device is available on the
LAN.
After pressing Installation Wizard, please key in authorized username of the device and
password when login dialog box appears on the screen. You can login the setting page if
authorized name and password is approved.

Using UPnP of Windows® XP or Vista
UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that
provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This
device is an UPnP enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP or Vista, of
your PC is UPnP enabled, the Network Camera will be very easy to be found.
Please refer to Appendix K to enable UPnP settings on ly if your operating s ystem of PC
is running Windows XP.
Note: Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.
To discover your device, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places.
Click the targete d Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera
automatically.

Install the Device behind a NAT
Router
Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the
Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incomin g data traffic to the
device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a rou ter, then it may get a dynamic IP
address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the
WAN, its IP address needs to be s etup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual
Server function of router needs to be setup.
However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT
traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal fea ture, which will attempt
to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to mak e sure the U PnP function is
enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of
routers are default enable and others are not. Please check use r’s manual of your NAT
router for detail.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting.
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
Refer to Setting Î System Î System page for detail DIPS information.
