    Installation Hardware Installation Please verify that your product package contains all the accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents. Depending on the user’s application, an Ethernet cable may be needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the specs of UTP Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in length.
  • Page 7 To install in wireless LAN (WCS-2070 only) If the Ethernet is not available while power on, the Network Camera will search for any access point with the SSID “default”. Once any access point is found, the LED will turn green to wait for installation.

  • Page 8: Software Installation

    Software Installation In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Network Camera, and "Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Network Camera and grant user access to the camera. At the end of the hardware installation, the Administrator must place the product software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC running in MS Windows.
  • Page 9 Upon Installation Wizard’s start up, a searching box will pop up. This program searches for product on the same LAN: After searching, Network Cameras will be located by the Installation Wizard. There may be several entries shown in the window. The Administrator may differentiate the Network Cameras with the MAC address.
  • Page 10 of finding IP address is seeking from 192.168.0.99, to 192.168.0.254. If any of the address inside this range is free, the Network Camera will be assigned to this IP address, and its subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0. If none of the addresses is free, the Network Camera will try the range from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.98.
  • Page 11 For more detailed usage of the Installation Wizard, please refer to the user’s manual of the Installation Wizard.

    Initial Access to the Network Camera Installing Plug-in For the initial access to the Network Camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt for permission to install a new plug-in for the Network Camera after a period of time of downloading. Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user’s PC or notebook.

  • Page 13: Add Password To Prevent Unauthorized Access

    Add Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access The default Administrator’s password is the MAC Address, which marks at the bottom label of your FCS-1070/WCS-2070. The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s password is saved, the Network Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before each access.

  • Page 18: Administrator's Capabilities

    Administrator’s Capabilities Fine-tuning for Best Performance There are a few choices the Administrator is allowed to maximize the capabilities of the Network Camera. Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The six factors, “Size”, “Maximum frame rate”, “Video codec type”, “Key frame interval”, “Fix bit rate”, and “Fix quality”...
  • Page 19 quality. The maximum frame rate is 25 fps in a 50Hz system and 30 fps in a 60Hz system. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum 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.
