1.3 Network Connection

Before visiting network camera over network, user should acquire its IP address first. SADP is a

software tool which can automatically detect network device in the LAN and give the device’s

information like IP address, mask, port number, device serial number, software version, etc., as

shown in Fig. 1.3.1.

Fig. 1.3.1

Select the device, and set its IP address and mask at the same network segment with the PC.
For the detailed introduction of SADP, please refer to Appendix 1.

Note: The network camera is set with the factory default IP address of “192.0.0.64”, the port of

“8000”, the super user name of “admin” and the password of “12345”.

Chapter 2 Network Access

After hardware installation, user can view live video and configure parameters for the network

camera, including IP address, subnet mask and port number, etc. The following two methods can be

used to access the camera:

1. View live video and configure parameters over IE browser.

2. View live video and configure parameters over client software.

2.1 Access over IE Browser

Before access to the camera over IE
browser, user should adjust the security
level.

Open the IE browser, and set the
security level to Medium in Tools/

InternetOptions/Security/Custom
Level..., and enable or prompt Activex

Control and Plug‐in directly as well.

Note: This section is only for wireless network camera with mark '‐W' in the model number.

Before configuring the wireless network camera, please set the wireless router first. For more
details about wireless router configuration, please refer to the wireless router configuration
instructions.

There are two network interface cards in the camera: wired network interface card and wireless
network interface card. The factory default settings of wired network interface card are IP address:

192.0.0.64, port number: 8000, superuser: admin, superuser password: 12345, while the default IP
address of wireless network interface card is 192.168.1.64. Before accessing to the wireless network
camera through wireless network, use the wired Ethernet port of the wireless network camera to
configure parameters of wireless network interface card. The configuration steps are the same way
as section 1.3.

If users want to configure the wireless parameters through IE browser, enter the remote parameter
settings interface first. Refer to section '2.1.2.3 Advanced Configuration' for more detailed settings.
After entering the remote parameter settings interface, select "W iFi parameters"‐> "W iFi Settings"

Chapter 3 Access over

Internet

3.1 Access network camera with static IP

When there is a static IP from an ISP, open some ports (such as 80 and 8000 ports) in the router.

Then a user can visit it through a web browser or client software via the internet. The steps for port

forwarding are different for each model of router. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance

with port forwarding or visit www.portforward.com.

Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for a detailed explanation about Port Map.

Users can directly connect the network camera to the internet without using a router.

Fig. 3.2.1 Access IPC through PPPoE Dial‐up

This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial‐up function. The camera will get a public IP address by

ADSL dial‐up after the camera is connected to a Modem; First, access to the network camera

through local network, select “Configure””Right Click the Device”, “Remote Configuration”, and

finally select “PPPoE Settings” under “Network Parameters” to fill in the PPPoE user name and

password and confirm the password. Please restart the network camera after completion of

configuration. Then the network camera can obtain a dynamic IP from an ISP operation business.

However, the obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always

changes accompanied with modem rebooting.

25

User Manual of Network Camera

Fig. 3.2.2 PPPoE configuration Dialog box

It is inconvenient to view a network camera with a dynamic IP, therefore, users should register with

a dynamic DNS provider. (Such as DynDns.com)

Domain name resolution contains normal domain name resolution and private domain name

resolution. First, we will introduce normal domain name resolution.

1. Normal Domain Name Resolution

Fig. 3.2.3 Normal Domain NameResolution

Apply a domain name from a domain name provider, then view the camera via the applied domain

name. If the camera connects to the internet via a router, users should port forward the router.

Please refer to Appendix 2.

Input domain names in the client software or IE to view the network cameras. Take the client

software configuration as an example.

27

User Manual of Network Camera

2. Private Domain Name Resolution

Fig. 3.2.5 Private Domain Name Resolution

A PC with a static IP which is running the domain name resolution service is necessary.

When the network camera connects to the internet through PPPoE and obtains an IP address, it will

send its name and IP address to the resolution server. When the client software connects to the

network camera, it will connect to the resolution server and tell the resolution server the expected

camera’s name. And the server will find the camera from all the registered cameras and send its IP

address to the client software. Once the client software gets the IP address, it can connect the

network camera.

Appendix 1 SADP Introduction

1. Brief introduction

SADP (Search Active Devices Protocol) is a kind of software which can automatically search
network speed dome in LAN. User can modify the IP address, subnet mask and port of the
device without visiting IP address of the device. Additionally, password of the super user in this
device can be recovered as default.
SADP software needs to support SADP, so we should install WinPcap at first, which is placed at
the directory of SADP software.

2. Search active devices online

After installing WinPcap, double click sadpdlg.exe. The software will start to search active
devices in LAN, and device type, IP address, Port number, Device Serial No., subnet mask, MAC
address, the number of channels, main control and encoding version and device initiating time
are showed in the list, as following:

3. Modify device information

Select the device that needs modification in the device list, then basic information of the device
will be demonstrated in the information column on the right. Click “modify” button to activate
IP address, subnet mask, device port editing and password validating box, as follows:

User Manual of Network Camera

Select the device that needs modification in the device list, then basic information of the device
will be demonstrated in the information column on the right. Click “modify” button to activate
IP address, subnet mask, device port editing and password validating box, as following:

Input new IP address, subnet mask, and port number, and click “save” button. If a dialog pops up,
showing “saved successfully”, that means you have modified the configuration information; if
“saving failed” turns up, click the “cancel” button to quit it.

4. Recover default password

You can reset the password of the super user as “12345” in the case of a lost password.
Input certain validation code into the ‘Resume default password’ box, and click ‘OK’ to finish the
administrator’s password initiating.

Appendix 2 Port Map

Note: The following setting is about TP‐LINK router (TL‐R410), which is maybe distinct from other

router’s setting.

1. Firstly, select the router’s WAN connection Type. As the following Fig. shows:

2. Set the “network parameter” of the router as the below figure. The setting includes subnet

mask and gateway.

3. Set the port map in the virtual severs of Forwarding. By default, camera uses port 80, 8000, 554

and 8200. You can change these ports value with IE or client software.

The following figure gives the illustration. One camera’s ports are 80, 8000, 554, 8200 and its IP

address is 192.168.1.23. The other camera’s ports are 81, 8001, 555, 8201 and IP is 192.168.1.24.

Afterwards, enable all or TCP protocols. Enable the port map after pressing the ‘Save’.

31

User Manual of Network Camera

As the settings mentioned above, map the router’s port 80 and 8000 to the network camera at

192.168.1.23; and port 81 and 8001 to the network camera at 192.168.1.24. In this way, user can

access the 192.168.1.23 through accessing the router’s port 80 and 8000.

Note: The port of the network camera cannot conflict with other ports. For example, some router’s

web management port is 80. User can amend the router’s or the camera’s port to solve this

problem.
