4 Attach the external power supply

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

Note:

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

S ECURITY

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the Wireless 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 Wireless Internet Camera supports multi-level password protection and access to the Wireless 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 Wireless Internet Camera they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the Wireless Internet Camera.

Note:

When the Wireless 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 Wireless 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 Wireless Internet Camera. This

procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features with the Wireless Internet Camera will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.
