First thread the required Ethernet wire through the compression cap and compression core in proper order followed by threading the cable into the rear cap to connect with the corresponding port/interface on the rear panel.
2.2.7 Connecting Safety Cord Connect the attached safety cord with one end to the mounting surface and the other end to the safety-cord screw of the camera. Depending on different applications, please connect the safety cord to the corresponding safety-cord screw on varied surfaces as the following figures illustrating.
Connection Network Topology The camera, which is equipped with Ethernet RJ-45 network interface, can deliver live view image in real time via both Internet and Intranet manners. Please refer to the skeleton drawings shown below for understanding. Figure 3 - 1: Network Topology System Requirements Below table lists the minimum requirement to implement and operate the camera.
Connecting Process 3.3.1 Default IP address Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first. The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.1.30 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0. However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit would obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you don’t need to change the camera’s IP address.
