Software Installation - D-Link DCS-2000 Manual

Software Installation

After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the DCS-
2000 Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to configure and operate
the camera. The first step is to run a program on the CD called IP Installer.
The program will allow you to use the Internet Camera with you Internet browser.
The IP Installer program allows you to enter settings that permit the camera to
access the Internet directly or your Ethernet network.
After the IP Installer software program is completed, you will have an operating
and controllable Internet Camera. From your Internet Explorer Web browser
you will be able to access the video and sound from the Internet camera. The
camera has a software program built in (called firmware) built-in Web server.
This Web server is the program that allows the camera to access the Internet
without an attached computer and permits users to view the video and audio
remotely.
After running the IP Installer software program this built-in Web server program,
along with your Internet browser, is the only software needed to actually operate
the DCS-2000 and view the camera remotely.
However it is necessary to install the Surveillance Software from the enclosed
CD to create a truly powerful monitoring and surveillance system. The following
section will detail installing the IP Installer and the Surveillance software.
Installing the IP Installer program
Insert the CD that is included with the DCS-2000 Internet Camera. The IP Installer
program will start up automatically from the CD. If it does not (the Windows
operating system can turn this autorun function off , for example) simply access
the CD from Windows and click on the software program IP Installer.
Click on the Installer button.
