Ensure the power adaptor specification matches the power system (110V or 220V) and connect the adaptor to the outlet 5. Check LED status (Power/Network) 5 ... - Page 7 PD636 User’s Manual 2. Software Installation The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the PD636 from the Web site. The software will be taken from the Software Package CD. IP Installer The IP Installer is used to locate and configure network cameras and video servers on the LAN. This utility is useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the device, or for finding a device once the network settings have been modified. To install the IP Installer, from the Software Package CD UI, select IP installer, then follow the on screen instructions. XVID Codec An H.264 codec is applied for displaying the video stream and playing the recoded AVI files.

- Page 8 PD636 User’s Manual 3. Network Configuration IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary. Preparation before IP Assignment Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address. Ensure the PD636 is powered on and correctly connected to the network. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429‐XXXXXX). *0004290000 Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any PD636 on the LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web‐based user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information about subnets, please consult your network administrator. Using IP Installer to Assign an IP Address to PD636 Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click the IP Installer icon on the desktop, or select it from Start > Programs > IP Installer > IP Installer > Launch IP Installer. Click the menu bar Tool > Search Network Device to search the device in the LAN. 7 ...

- Page 10 PD636 User’s Manual Open the Web‐based UI of the selected camera To access the Web‐based UI of the selected unit, run the View > Open Web on the menu bar. If the device has been configured correctly, the default Web browser will open to the home page of the selected device. If you find your browser is opened and automatically connected to the camera Home Page, it means you’ve assigned an IP Address to the unit successfully. Now you can close the IP Installer and start to use your camera. Verify and Complete the Installation from Your Browser TM When browsing the Home Page at the first time with the Microsoft Internet Explorer , you must temporarily lower your security settings to perform a one‐time‐only installation of the ActiveX component onto your workstation, as described below: From the Tools menu, select [Internet Options] Click the [Security] tab and then click [Custom Level] button to see your current security settings.
