WPS-750-DOM-IP Installation Manual 9- IP Installer Software The IP Installer software provides a quick view of Wirepath™ IP Surveillance devices connected to local network. This software is required for initial setup of any Wirepath™ IP Surveillance device. Recommendation: Before starting any configuration or service of Wirepath™ IP devices, we recommend that the latest version of the IP Installer is downloaded from www.SnapAV.com to ensure that all functionality is available.
Note: Any data displayed in these fields should be replaced with information obtained from the network admin to ensure they are set properly. H. Assign a name to the Camera that will identify it easily when using the IP Installer or configuring a Wirepath™ NVR, and for recordings, or captured images.
WPS-750-DOM-IP Installation Manual 6- Change the Administrator Password Now that the camera is visible on the network, we recommend that the administrator password is changed from the default to prevent unwanted access. See section 12.2-User Management for details on the features used in this step.
WPS-750-DOM-IP Installation Manual 11- Additional Configuration Recommendation: While the camera can be configured remotely from outside the local network, operation can be slow. We strongly recommend that the bulk of configuration be performed via the local network to avoid slow response times.
WPS-750-DOM-IP Installation Manual 3- Configure Motion Detection Areas Motion Detection allows for specific areas of the image to be used for triggering the recording of video, an alarm, or sending a notification. When an area is defined, motion in that area will trigger the predefined action; this is useful to avoid unwanted events from being triggered due to motion in areas of no concern.
B.5- Click Apply at the bottom to save the settings. Note: If installing multiple cameras, this step only needs to be completed once. After that, each Wirepath™ Surveillance camera can be accessed using the same Hostname and each camera’s uniquely assigned port number.
