10. Use the OpenEye IP Finder software to locate the camera on the network and complete configuration of the camera. 11. Manually aim the camera as necessary. 12. Replace the Inner Dome cover. 13. Replace the dome cover, aligning the arrow mark on the dome cover with the one on the housing, and then screw the two Torx screws on the dome tightly to fasten the dome cover to the camera base.
LOCATE CAMERA OPENEYE NETWORK CAMERA MANAGER Use the included Network Camera Manager software to easily find your network cameras for initial setup. The OpenEye IP Finder software is included on the CD with all OpenEye IP devices. Installation You can install Network Camera Manager on any personal computer (PC) or laptop using the software CD included with your OpenEye IP camera or by downloading the program from openeye.net.
Device Addressing The functions on the Device Addressing tab allow you to find, configure, and view network cameras. Finding Network Devices Click Find Devices on the Device Addressing tab. To narrow your search by Camera Model, Project, or Camera Name, select your desired criteria from the appropriate lists.
Log in to the camera with the appropriate User Name and Password. Note The default User name is Admin and the default Password is1234. The username and password are case sensitive. OpenEye recommends you change the Admin password for security reasons. Resetting the Camera If it is necessary to reset the camera to the factory default settings, hold down the Reset button (see Connections) for 30 seconds.
OpenEye IP cameras using third party software like VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org). To connect the camera you may need to provide the stream URL. All OpenEye IP cameras are capable of delivering two RTSP streams, as well as streaming MJPEG over HTTP.
However, RTSP is not suitable for transmission between two locations that are behind different routers. In this case, the client (for example, the OpenEye HVR or NVR server software) connects to the camera, then requests a stream. The camera uses that...
VIEWER SOFTWARE To access the setup menu, you need to install the viewer software on your PC or recorder. The viewer software will install automatically the first time you connect to the camera. If your internet browser doesn’t install the viewer software, check the security settings or ActiveX controls and plug-in settings.

Every network device has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address that can be used for identification. The MAC address is located on the bottom of each camera, and on the box label (the OpenEye IP Finder also displays the MAC address for identification). Record your camera’s MAC address for identification in the future.
Click Save to confirm the new setting. When using static IP address to log in to the IP Camera, you can access it either through OpenEye IP Finder software or type the IP address directly in the address bar of your Internet Explorer.
QoS (Quality of Service) Quality of Service allows you to prioritize network traffic services of the camera’s functions. The QoS function utilizes the Differentiated Services prioritized using Codepoint values (DSCP). Note Routers and switches on the network must be QoS or DSCP capable, and have these settings enabled for this function to operate on your network.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) • Enable UPnP: When enabled the camera will appear in My Network Places on Windows computers running UPnP on the same network. • Enable UPnP Port Forwarding: When enabled the camera will attempt to open the web server port on the router automatically.
