4. PoE (Power Over Ethernet) (Optional) 802.3af, 15.4W PoE Switch is recommended Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It allows providing power to a network device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection.
C. IP Assignment Use the software IP Installer to assign the IP address of the IP Camera. The software is in the software CD attached to the product’s package. IP installer supports two languages: IPInstallerCht.exe:Chinese version IPInstallerEng.exe:English version There are 3 kinds of IP configuration. Fixed IP (Public IP or Virtual IP) DHCP (Dynamic IP) Dial-up (PPPoE)
Page 13
IP Installer configuration: IP Installer will search for all the IP Cameras connected on the LAN. The user can click Search Device to search again. Click one of the IP Cameras listed on the left side. The network configuration of this IP camera will be shown on the right side. You can change the name of the IP Camera to your preference (e.g.: Office, warehouse).
