Preferences icon at the bottom of
the Macintosh's screen.
STEP 2. Click on the Network icon.
STEP 3. Make sure that your network
connection is highlighted in the list of

TESTING THE CONNECTION

Your camera features UPnP (Universal Plug 'n Play) connectivity. This allows network devices
to be automatically added to the network and communicate with other devices within it
without additional setup. If your Network router has this feature - and it is turned on - your
camera may be accessible from the moment you connect it to the network.
To test this, once you have connected the
IP camera to a network, you will need to run
the ConfigTool software on a computer
connected to the same router.
This Windows software is located in the
Software folder on the CD that came with
your system. Macintosh computer users will
need to use the Search Device function
within the Device Manage window in PSS
to locate the camera. PSS is covered in
Chapter 4.
When ConfigTool launches, it will produce
a list of all QC-Series IP cameras that are
connected to the same network. This
will confirm that your camera has been
successfully added to your network.
To ensure that the camera and the
connection are operating properly, right click
on the camera's name in the list.
A pop up window saying, "Open Device
Web" will open. Click on it to open a browser
window.
When the browser window has opened, you
will be presented with a login screen for the
Q-See Web Service. Since you're on the
same network as the camera, you will want to
select LAN from the options at the bottom of
the screen.
