Camera Cabling and Power

Install cabling between the camera and the LAN connection (and power source if not PoE powered)

Needed for this step: Cables and connectors as indicated below, tools and connectors for terminations

Cable recommendations: Network Connection - The camera must

be connected to a LAN port using cable that meets TIA/EIA Category 5e standards. Test the cable after termination if possible.

PoE Power - If the network equipment supports PoE standard IEEE 802.3af then power can be provided on the Cat5e/6 connection.

12V DC Power - If PoE is not used, power must be supplied using the external power connector. The correct cable size must be used to prevent voltage drop.

Requirements for Network Cable:

• Type: Cat5e/6+ ONLY

• Terminations: 568B recommended

• Max Length: 100 meters (328 feet)

Requirements for PoE Equipped Port:

• Voltage: 44V DC

• Wattage: 15.4W

• Amperage: 350mA

Requirements for Power Supply:

• Voltage: 12V DC

• Wattage: 12W

• Amperage: 1A

Thank you for purchasing a Wirepath™ IP Surveillance Camera. This Quick Start Guide page shows the basics of installing the camera and connecting to it from the local network.

a. Install an accessory mount over the

wiring (if applicable). Then connect the camera to the wiring as seen in the diagram below.

Aiming Adjustments

A. Horizontal rotation

B. Swivel left or right

C. Tilt viewing angle

First Time Access

The ﬁ rst time the camera is accessed from any PC, a plug-in must be installed for the web browser to enable communication with the

camera. Afterward, the camera may be accessed by that PC at any time by navigating to the camera’s web address and logging in.

a. Connect the PC to the same local network (LAN) the camera is connected to.

b. Open the web browser and enter the IP Address that was assigned to the camera. The address should include the port number

assigned to the camera if one was set. See the example:

• IP Address using default port 80: http://192.168.1.015

• IP Address using port 8015: http://192.168.1.015:8015

c. A window will open, asking for a user name and password. Default

settings:

• User Name: admin

• Password: admin

d. Install the ActiveX control if prompted:

e. After installing ActiveX, the camera should be visible in the web browser interface. If the web browser interface does not appear,

verify the address using the IP Installer.

Next Steps:

After the camera is accessible, further setup can be completed using the Conﬁ g menus. Visit the Support Tab on the product page for this camera at www.SnapAV.com to download the manual, IP Installer utility software, and latest ﬁ rmware. Refer to the manual to:

a. Set up User Accounts, including administrator access

b. Set up remote access using wirepathdns.com

c. Set up NVR connections (if using an NVR for network recording)

d. Optimize image and video settings

e. Set up advanced sharing and integration of the camera’s four video streams

f. Set up scheduling and motion detection to optimize recording time

Wirepath™ IP Installer utility software streamlines identiﬁ cation of the cameras on the network and allows basic IP settings to be

established. After the cameras are set up, they can be accessed over the local network by computers and NVRs.

Important! The IP Installer can only be used on a PC with a Windows operating system.

Initial Setup

a. Make sure that all cameras are connected to the network and powered on.

b. Get access to a PC connected to the local network with administrator rights in the operating system (must be a Windows PC to

use the IP Installer)

c. Disable any active VPN connections on the network. These will prevent the IP Installer from working correctly.

d. Download the IP Installer utility from the camera’s support tab at www.SnapAV.com. No installation is required for use. Extract

the software (if compressed in “.zip”) and move it to the Desktop or folder of your choice.

e. Log into the router, set up static IP addresses for each new camera, and record the network settings to be assigned to the

camera(s).

How to Use the IP Installer Utility

a. Double-click the IP Installer icon to run the software. Allow or accept any Windows system warnings. (No

changes will be made to system ﬁ les.) Depending on the computer’s security settings, it may be necessary

to log in using the computer’s administrator account for the IP Installer to run.

b. Click “Search Device” to scan the network for connected Wirepath™ IP Cameras, NVRs, and Encoders.

Wait 30 seconds after powering up a camera to search for it.

c. Click the “Exit” button to close the IP installer when all devices are conﬁ gured.

Important! Windows may display an error stating that the software did not install correctly when it closes, but this should be disregarded.

How to Con gure a Camera for Access

Cameras are set to DHCP mode by default so that an IP address is automatically assigned for ﬁ rst time access. To ensure

continuous access to the camera, the address must be changed to a static address reserved for the camera (as detailed in step “1e”, above).

a. Click on an item in the Device List to highlight it blue.

b. Click the “Static” button over the right column information ﬁ elds. Now the settings can be conﬁ gured. (IP Settings ﬁ elds are

greyed out until the mode is set to Static). Enter a value for each of the ﬁ elds in the right column:

Device List

Displays the Wirepath IP devices connected to the network.

Search Device-

Click the button to refresh the Device List and see new devices.

a. Select “Static” to change settings

b. Name for the camera (limited to 31

characters, no spaces) Examples: FrontDoor1, SideDoor

c. IP address (static) reserved for the

camera (step 1e)

d. Net Mask - usually 255.255.255.0

(set all cameras the same)

e. Gateway address - found in the router.

f. DNS 1 - found in the router

g. DNS 2 - found in the router.

Set DNS 2 to“0.0.0.0” if no DNS 2 is

set in the router.

h. Port - include the last octet of the IP

address in the port:

Examples: Camera IP Address Port

Patio 192.168.1.050 8050 Front Door 192.168.1.100 8100
