3. Install the software provided with the IP camera on the PC that you are going to use to configure the
camera settings.
4. Use the installation software to search for the IP camera on the LAN, If the search is successful, you
will be able to determine the camera's IP address. Write down the camera's IP address for reference
purposes - you will need the camera's IP address when configuring the router.
5. To access the camera's configuration interface, open your Internet browser, enter the IP address of the
camera in the address bar and press Enter.
6. On the camera's security settings page, program a user name and password. When the user wants to
access the camera from the iConnect Control System Web Application, they need to enter their user
name and password for authentication purposes.

7. On the camera's network configuration settings page, edit the settings for the ports that the IP camera uses
during operation. The number of ports that the camera requires differs according to the camera used.
Figure D- 4: Example of IP Camera Network Settings Page
In most cases, the ports that are required by the IP camera are pre-configured as default. If you are
installing one IP camera, you do not usually have to edit these settings (unless there is another network
device using the same ports).
However, if you are installing more than one camera, it is necessary to choose different ports for each
camera.
8. Using the router's configuration interface, edit the port forwarding setup – further information refer to
the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the router. The port forwarding setup allows you to
create "rules" that the router uses for port forwarding – for further details see p. 127, Port Forwarding.
