Preparation

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 operating system as an example.

Check before login

 The camera is operating correctly.
 The network connection between the PC and the camera is normal.
 The PC is installed with Internet Explorer 10.0 or higher.
 (Optional) The resolution is set to 1440 x 900.

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.

1. Browse to the login page by entering the correct IP address of your camera in the address bar.
