Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-6620G outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you will
have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the
Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the 80.11g PTZ Internet Camera will be a
local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is configured
to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.

Assign a Local IP Address for Your Camera
Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-6620G. Follow the steps in the
Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-6620G. The camera will be assigned a local IP Address
that allows it to be recognized by the router.
