- Page 10 The Setup Wizard will search for similar cameras that are 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 or configured IP address, and model number. (NOTE: The Setup Wizard may display an IP address for the new camera that is already consistent with your local area 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 click “OK”. The default values are : Login: admin Password: 1234 (If you have previously set a username and password, enter them and press “OK”.)

- 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).
- Page 18 To protect your camera from unauthorized access and use, you will need to change the Admin Password, which is “1234” by default. The password can have a maximum of four characters.

- Page 22 In order to view your camera remotely via the web, you will need to open two virtual ports on your router: 1. a web port, and 2. a video port. (Since the HNC290G does not have an audio feature, you will not need to open an audio port.) The Setup Wizard screen on the next page will allow you to do this.
- Page 23 NOTE: If your router does not support UPnP or if UPnP is not enabled on your router, the Setup Wizard will not be able to automatically open ports. You will need to select Manual Setup to continue.

- Page 31 Example on How to Set the IP Address Manually The example shown here illustrates how to manually set an IP address using the Windows XP operating system.
