Use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables to connect the network interfaces of the camera and the switch or router.
After you have completed the installation in accordance with the quick guide, connect the camera to power to start it. After the camera is started, you can access the camera from a PC client installed with a web browser or the client software EZStation. Internet Explorer (IE) is a recommended web browser. For more information about EZStation, refer to the EZStation User Manual.
The following takes IE on a Microsoft Windows 7.0 operating system as an example.
The camera is operating correctly.
The network connection between the PC and the camera is normal. The PC is installed with Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher.
(Optional) The resolution is set to 1440 x 900.

NOTE!
The IP address 192.168.0.13/192.168.1.13 in this example is the default IP address. Please replace it with the actual address of your camera if it has been changed.
Before you access the camera, follow the steps to set User Account Control Settings to Never notify.

The default static IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.13 or 192.168.0.13, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
DHCP is turned on by default. If a DHCP server is used in the network, the IP address of your camera may be assigned dynamically, and you need to use the correct IP address to log in. Use the EZStation client to view the dynamic IP address of your camera.
The following takes IE as an example to describe the login procedure.

NOTE!
To manually load the ActiveX, type http://IP address/ActiveX/Setup.exe in the address bar and press Enter.
The default password is used for your first login. To ensure account security, please change the password after your first login. You are recommended to set a strong password (no less than eight characters).
The camera protects itself from illegal access by limiting the number of failed login attempts. If login fails six times consecutively, the camera locks automatically for ten minutes.
3.Enter the username and password, and then click Login. For the first login, use the default username “admin” and password “123456”.
If you log in with Live View selected, live video will be displayed when you are logged in. Otherwise, you need to start live video manually in the live view window.
If you log in with Save Password selected, you do not need to enter the password each time when you log in. To ensure security, you are not advised to select Save Password.
To clear the Username and Password text boxes and the Save Password check box, click Reset.
By default the live view window is displayed when you are logged in to the Web interface. The following shows an example.

3.Select a scene and then click to set it as the default scene.
4.If auto-switching is enabled, the camera can switch to the scene automatically when the condition for switching to a non-default scene is met. Otherwise, the camera remains in the default scene. When auto-switching is not enabled, the camera remains in the current scene.
NOTE!
If Auto Switching is enabled (scene settings will be unavailable), the device will switch between the set scenes. If not, the device will stay at the current scene. The device will stay at default scenes unless the non-default scenes are triggered.
If multiple non-default scenes are triggered, then the device will switch to the scene with the minimum number (starts from 1 to 5).

Parameter |
|
|
Description |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select the correct exposure mode to achieve the desired exposure effect. |
|
|
|
Automatic: The camera automatically adjusts exposure according to the environment. |
|
|
|
Custom: The user sets exposure as needed. |
Exposure |
|
|
Indoor 50Hz: Reduce stripes by limiting shutter frequency. |
Mode |
|
|
Indoor 60Hz: Reduce stripes by limiting shutter frequency. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Manual: Finetune image quality by setting shutter, gain and iris manually. |
|
|
|
Low Motion Blur: Control the minimum shutter to reduce motion blur in faces captured |
|
|
|
in motion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shutter is used to control the light that comes into the lens. A fast shutter speed is ideal for |
|
|
|
scenes in quick motion. A slow shutter speed is ideal for scenes that change slowly. |
Shutter (s) |
|
|
Note: |
|
|
You can set a shutter speed when Exposure Mode is set to Manual or Shutter Priority. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If Slow Shutter is set to Off, the reciprocal of the shutter speed must be greater than the |
|
|
|
frame rate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Control image signals so that the camera outputs standard video signals according to the |
Gain (dB) |
|
|
light condition. |
|
|
Note: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is set to Manual or Gain Priority. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improves image brightness in low light conditions. |
Slow Shutter |
|
|
Note: |
|
|
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Shutter Priority and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when Image Stabilizer is disabled. |
|
|
|
|
Slowest |
|
|
Set the slowest shutter speed that the camera can use during exposure. |
|
|
Note: |
|
Shutter |
|
|
|
|
|
You can set this parameter only when Slow Shutter is set to On. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Adjust the compensation value as required to achieve the desired effects. |
Compensation |
|
|
Note: |
|
|
|
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the way the camera measures the intensity of light. |
|
|
|
Center-Weighted Average Metering: Measure light mainly in the central part of images. |
|
|
|
Evaluative Metering: Measure light in the customized area of images. |
Metering |
|
|
Highlight compensation: Ignore the brightness of the overexposed area of images. But |
|
|
selecting this setting will decrease the overall brightness of the image. |
|
Control |
|
|
|
|
|
Face Metering: Adjust image quality in poor lighting conditions by controlling the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
brightness of captured face in Face scene. |
|
|
|
Note: |
|
|
|
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic: The camera outputs the optimum images according to the light condition. In |
Day/Night |
|
|
this mode, the camera can switch between night mode and day mode automatically. |
Mode |
|
|
Night: The camera provides high-quality black and white images using the existing light |
|
|
|
Day: The camera provides high-quality color images using the existing light. |
|
|
|
Light threshold for switching between day mode and night mode. A higher sensitivity means |
Day/Night |
|
|
that the camera is more sensitive to the change of light and becomes more easily to switch |
Sensitivity |
|
|
between day mode and night mode. |
|
|

Set the length of time before the camera switches between day mode and night mode after |
Day/Night |
|
the conditions for switching are met. |
Switching(s) |
|
Note: |
|
|
You can set this parameter only when Day/Night Mode is set to Automatic. |
|
|
|
|
|
Enable WDR to distinguish the bright and dark areas in the same image. |
WDR |
|
Note: |
|
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is neither Customize nor Manual and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
when Image Stabilizer is disabled. |
|
|
|
|
|
After enabling the WDR function, you can improve the image by adjusting the WDR level. |
WDR Level |
|
Note: |
|
Use level 7 or higher when there is a high contrast between the bright and dark areas of the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
scene. In the case of low contrast, it is recommended to disable WDR or use level 1-6. |
|
|
|
Suppress WDR |
|
When enabled, the camera can automatically adjust slow shutter frequency according to |
Stripes |
|
the frequency of light to minimize stripes that may appear in images. |
