  • Page 10 The Setup Wizard will search for similar cameras available on your local area network. A “similar” camera will have the same code of four letters at the beginning of its serial number. This code is “HEMT” and can be found on either the right or left panel of the box, or on the label on the bottom of the camera.
  • Page 11 Each available camera will be displayed in the camera list with its MAC address, current default IP address, and model number. (NOTE: The Setup Wizard may display an IP address for the camera that is already consistent with your network [LAN] settings, rather than the default one.) In the camera list, click on the camera you would like to configure so that it is highlighted blue, and then click Next.
  • Page 12 Next, the login username and password screen will appear. Please type in the default login and password and then press “OK”. The default values are: Login: admin Password: 1234 If you have already set a username and password, enter them and press “OK”.

If a DHCP server is present on your network, the Wizard will obtain your network settings and automatically configure your network camera to operate on your LAN by returning network settings that are consistent with your network.
  • Page 15 The Wireless Network setup screen will allow you to connect your wireless network camera to your wireless router, access point, or point-to-point ad-hoc connection.
  • Page 16 Please highlight the appropriate wireless network that you would like to assign the network camera to. You may choose to scan for the following two types of networks: Infrastructure (If you are using a router or access point) or Ad-hoc (for peer- to-peer connection).
