3.1 Network Connection Types

There are many different ways that you can connect the camera to your network, depending on your
applications requirements. You should always set the camera's network settings according to your
network configurations. The following diagrams depict some typical applications with guidelines on
network settings. For more information on network settings, always consult with your network
administrator or ISP as required.
Type 1— Direct Connection to a PC
Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
To extend the connection length, you should use a RJ45 female/female coupler to connect two Ethernet
cables together.
Note
The LAN port of the camera supports auto MDI/MDIX (Medium dependent interface crossover), so
there is no need to use cross-over cable.
To access the camera, the PC must be on the same network as the camera. The default IP address of
the camera is static (192.168.1.168). Configure your PC's IP address as 192.168.1.X (where X is a
number between 2 and 254, excluding 168, and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0, and then your PC should
be able to access the camera.
