H ARDWARE

INSTALLATION

This section describes the Hardware installation procedure for the Internet Camera.

1 Connect an Ethernet cable

Connect an Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the Internet Camera’s rear panel and attach it to the network.

2 Attach the external power supply

Attach the external power supply to the DC power input connector located on the Internet Camera’s rear panel and is labeled DC 5V and connect it to your local power supply.

Confirm power source is supplied from the LED indicators label Power on the Internet Camera is illuminated.

S ECURITY

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the Internet Camera the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System Administration for settings and control requirements to allow users the level of entry and authorize the privileges for all users. The Internet Camera supports multi-level password protection and access to the Internet Camera is strictly restricted to defined users whom has a "User Name" and "User Password" which is assigned by the Administrator.

Administrator can release a public user name and password so when remote users access the Internet Camera they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the Internet Camera.

Note:

When the Internet Camera is used for the first time it is highly recommended the Administrator sets the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" to constrain users access to the Internet Camera since the Default settings are Null String. Once the ID and Password are defined only the Administrator has the access to management the Internet Camera. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features with the Internet Camera will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.
