CAMERA INSTALLATION

1. Begin by screwing the antenna and bracket to the camera and power the camera using the power

supply provided.

2. Using a standard Ethernet network cable, connect the camera to your wireless network.

The camera can either be connected to a router/switch or directly to a PC with an Ethernet network
cable. We recommend you setup the camera initially on your network using a wired connection
before it is used wirelessly.

3. Continue with setup (read the next chapter) and once the camera has been successfully setup on

your network, it can be mounted on a wall using the wall plugs and screws provided. (Camera setup
is designed for Windows PCs only).

CAMERA SETUP continued

Please note that if you are using the camera on a wireless network you will need to
first configure the camera for wired use, before you programme your wireless settings
in to it.

1. Insert the Installation CD into your PC CD drive and the installation screen should appear

automatically. If it does not, click ‘Start > Run> Browse...’ to locate the CD on your computer .

2. Double click ‘IPCamSetup.exe’ and install the software as instructed.

3. Click Next, to complete the software installation.

The computer will restart upon completion of the installation and a new icon will appear on the
desktop automatically called ‘IP Camera Tool’.

4. Double click the icon to start the IP Camera Tool software. The software is designed to search the

Local Area Network (LAN) for any connected IP cameras or devices.

CAMERA SETUP continued

After searching, the software will give one of 3 results:

Connected IP cameras are located on the LAN - All the IP cameras will be listed and will be
displayed in the result field as shown below.

No IP Camera found within LAN - After about 1 minute search, the result field will show ‘Not
Found IP Server’ and the software application will shut down automatically.

The IP Cameras installed within LAN do not share the same subnet with the monitoring
PC. A prompt will be shown in result field ‘Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!’ Double

click the mouse button and select ‘Network Configuration’ to set the IP address of the Camera to
the same subnet as LAN.

When you select an IP camera from the list and click the right mouse button, there are five options:

- Basic Properties

- Network Configuration

- Upgrade Firmware

- Refresh Camera List

- Flush Arp Buffer

Basic Properties
View device information such as Device ID, System Firmware Version, Web UI Version.

CAMERA SETUP continued

Network Configuration

Configure the Network parameters from this page.

• DHCP checkbox: If checked, the device will obtain an IP from the DHCP server (ensure the Router, with

which the device connects, has a DHCP function).

• IP address: Fill in the IP address assigned and make sure it is in the same subnet as the gateway (i.e. the

first three sections are the same).

• Mask: The default subnet mask of the equipment is: 255.255.255.0

• Gateway: Make sure it is in the same subnet with PC IP address. Default Gateway address is 192.168.0.1

• DNS: IP address of IPS network provider.

• Port: LAN port assigned for the equipment, usually 80.

• User & Password: (Default administrator User Name/Password = admin/No password).

If you enable using DHCP, the system will assign an IP address for your equipment only if your
gateway supports DHCP (which is the case with most gateways). NOTE: When the subnet doesn’t
match, double click to change it and set the camera’s IP address once again.

Upgrade Firmware

Enter the correct User Name and Password to upgrade the system Firmware and Web user interface.

Refresh Camera List

Refreshes the camera list manually.

CAMERA SETUP continued

Flush ARP Buffer

ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. It is used to associate a layer 3 (Network layer) address
(such as an IP address) with a layer 2 (Data Link layer) address (MAC address). When a wired
network and a wireless network of the camera both use the same fixed IP address, a problem may
occur where connections to web pages will time out and fail. Use the Flush ARP Buffer to clear the
ARP cache and fix the error.

5. Access the IP camera through the IP Camera Tool or IE directly. Either:

• Double click the IP address of the IP camera listed in the search result window. Internet Explorer will be

opened automatically and display the camera login page.

Access the camera via the Internet Explorer browser directly by typing in the camera’s IP address. In the window
that appears, click the ‘

Sign in’ button as shown below:
