In this manual, 

User

refers to whoever has access to the Network

Camera, and 

Administrator

refers to the person who can configure the

Network Camera and grant user access to the camera.

3.1 Hardware installation

Please verify that your product package contains all the
accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents.
Depending on the user’s application, an Ethernet cable may be
needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the specs of UTP
Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in length.

Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure
and the front LEDs will blink between blue and red a few times. If
self-test passes, the LED will be blue and the Network Camera
will standby for getting IP address. After getting IP Address, the
LED will blink blue every second. If self-test fails the red LED will
blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting.
