This section provides a guide on how to
connect the IP Camera to your PC/Laptop for
initial setup.
Please follow the instructions in the order they
appear, without skipping steps. Do not supply
power to the IP Camera, until instructed.
In order to access the IP Camera’s firmware
you will need to connect the Video Server
directly to a PC or Laptop computer via the
supplied crossover cable.
Before you begin, you must determine the current network/
INTERNET (TCP/IP) settings on the PC or laptop you plan to
setup the IP Camera. Write down your entries below for
quick reference.
1.
You will have to click ‘Yes’ twice to two individual prompts. This
allows your video to be displayed in Internet Explorer.
Current TCP/IP Settings
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Primary DNS Server
Secondary DNS Server (Option)
In order for the IP Camera to communicate with your PC, you
have to change your PC’s IP address and subnet mask.
2.
Now you will be able to see the login screen for the IP
Camera.
7.
The default ID and Password are both the word ‘admin’
(without the “ ”)
If at any time you are prompted to download ActiveX controls,
you must click ‘Yes’, all contents are safe.

9.
We recommend that you change your IP address to 192.168.1.11
and change the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
Leave all other entries (Default Gateway, DNS Servers, etc.) blank.
For information on how to change your IP address and subnet
mask, see Appendix B.
After you have made the changes to your IP address and
subnet mask, you may then attach the IP Camera to your
PC via the supplied crossover cable. Plug-in either end of
the crossover cable into the PC’s network card and the other
end into your IP Camera.
After connecting the PC and IP Camera using the crossover
cable, power on the IP Camera by plugging in the power
supply shipped with the IP Camera.
No longer than 1 minute after powering on the IP Camera,
verify that the ACTIVE indicator light is flashing, and the
LINK indicator light is flickering or solid. If they are not,
please read the FAQ.

the IP Camera.
