Connecting the Camera and Personal Computer by Network (Cont.)

Connection Configuration

Two configurations are available for connecting a network camera..
・Crossover connection
・Connection via a hub, switch, or router
●Using a crossover cable to establish a connection (example)
Network camera

IP address

192.168.0.30
Crossover cable is not provided with the product.
●Establishing a connection via a hub (example)
Network camera
IP address
192.168.0.30
LAN cable（straight through）
LAN cable (straight through) and Hub are not provided with the product.
NOTE
You do not need to assign an IP address to a hub.
●
The IP address of your camera after purchasing from the store is automatically
●
set to 192.168.0.30 if DHCP is not used. Set the IP address of your personal
computer in the same subnet. (The network segment must be the same
segment when directly connecting using a cross cable or connecting through
the hub)
When connecting more than one camera, connect each camera using IP
Address 192.168.0.30 and change the IP addresses of the second and
subsequent cameras to other IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.31.
You can also use the LAN port of your broadband router.
●
However, when using the broadband router, if the DHCP server function is
set to "ON", turn on the power after connecting the camera with the router.
The camera gets the IP address from the router's DHCP server and it may
not be 192.168.0.30.
For more information, read your user's guide for broadband router.
It is also recommended to set the computer's IP address from the router's
DHCP server.
For more information, read your computer's user's guide.

Connecting Camera and Personal Computer

1
Connect LAN cable and turn the power on.
･ If you are using a hub, connect the LAN cable (straight cable) from
the camera to the hub. Power-up the camera.
･ If you are connecting the camera to a personal computer, with the
computer turned on connect the LAN cable (cross cable) from the
camera to the personal computer. Power-up the camera.
･ If using PoE connect the LAN cable (straight cable) from the
camera to the PoE hub. A PoE power supply is required.
2
Set the IP address of the personal computer.
･ This step is used only if the camera is connected to the personal
computer. The IP address of the computer must be set up to
communicate with the camera. The camera is set to 192.168.0.30
so select an address that is close to the camera. An example would
be 192.168.0.25. The subnet mask number must be 255.255.255.0.
Please refer to the personal computers manual for the procedure.
･ Set the IP address to 192.168.0.50 (and subnet mask to
255.255.255.0) as an example.
･ For details on the procedure, refer to the user's guide of the
personal computer.
3
Test the camera connection using ping.
･ To locate the command prompt select start, select programs,
select accessories, start a command prompt. Type "ping
192.168.0.30" and press "Enter" key.
･ If the "Reply from..." message appears, the connection is correctly
established.
4
Search the camera by "Camera Finder" explained on
page 26 and view a camera image.
1. Start "Camera Finder" and click the "Search" button.
･ Confirm that the camera name "nwcam15" is displayed in the
camera list.
2. Click "nwcam15", to select.
･ Check that the camera name, IP address and HTTP port number
are displayed in the "Network Camera Log-in" field.
3. Click the Administrator button or the User button.
･ Clicking the Administrator button will display a screen for
inputting the user name and password. Input the administrator
log-in ID and password. (See "Administrator Log-in" on page 28)
4. A camera image screen of the network camera will appear.
NOTE
To view images without using "Camera Finder," launch the Internet browser,
●
enter URL http://192.168.0.30/ in the address box and press "ENTER."
It takes about 30 seconds to activate the camera.
●
If a port number other than "80" is set, designate the port number by suffixing
●
it after ":" as in http://192.168.0.30:NN/,, where NN is the new port number. 25
