  • Page 7: Hardware Installation

    Hardware Installation Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs will blink between green and red a few times. If self-test passes, the LEDs will shut off and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation.

  • Page 8: Software Installation

    Software Installation In this manual, "User" refers to anyone who has access to the network camera, and "Administrator" refers to anyone who has access rights to configure the network camera and grant user access to it. At the end of the hardware installation, the Administrator must insert the CD included with the package into the CD-ROM drive of the PC.
  • Page 9 After completing the search, the main IP Setup window will appear. The IP Setup program should have returned an IP address for your network camera (under the “Current IP Address” heading) that is consistent with your existing LAN settings. The IP address will likely have been found by the DHCP server. (A DHCP server provides IP addresses to client devices on the same network.) If there is no DHCP server, the camera will try to find a free IP address (this takes from 15 second to 3 minutes, depending on the LAN status).
  • Page 10 If the IP address is not already being used by another device on the network, IP Setup will continue with the setup. Otherwise, another message window will appear, warning that the assigned IP conflicts. In this case, administrators should search for a vacant IP address or ask the network supervisor for assistance. If the setup is successful, click on in the message window that appears.

  • Page 11: Check Network Settings

    Check Network Settings (even if the device is already connected) Although the network camera may already be connected following the software installation procedure, administrators should ensure that the network settings in the configuration page are correct, including the subnet mask, IP address of the gateway, and DNS.

  • Page 12: Authentication

    Authentication After opening the Web browser and typing in the network camera’s IP address, a dialogue window may appear, requesting a username and password, unless the administrator has not saved a password. Upon successful authentication, the device’s main page will be displayed. In the figure below, the foreground is the login window and the background shows the message when authentication fails.

  • Page 18: Administrator's Capabilities

    Administrator’s Capabilities Configure for Optimal Performance Optimal performance means obtaining the fastest image refresh rate and highest video quality, while utilizing the lowest possible network bandwidth. Three factors in the “Video” configuration page will control the performance: a. Maximum frame rate, b. Fixed bit rate, and c. Fixed quality. For Best Real-time Video Images To achieve a good real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough to allow a transmission rate of greater than 20 image frames per second.

    frame rate to 25 fps or 30 fps. If you are shooting fast-moving images, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the human eye cannot easily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second.
