Hardware installation
When you switch on, the blue LED on the front lights up and the start procedure begins. During the start
procedure, the blue and red LEDs are both active. This state continues until an IP address is defined. After
you define the IP address, the LED flashes once a second. For troubleshooting hints, see Appendix.
The CMOS network camera first tries to address the wired Ethernet. If it cannot reach this, the camera tries to
reach the wireless network (WLAN). During the search and connection process to the wireless access point,
the red LED on the network camera flashes once a second. The red LED remains in this state until the
connection to an access point is established. During operation in the WLAN or wired mode, the green LED
flashes constantly once a second to show this activity.
Installation in the Ethernet
Make sure that the camera is directly connected to a PC (cross-link cable) or via a switch/hub to the network.
Now connect the network adapter of the camera to the mains network. When the camera is correctly
connected to the network, the blue LED on the front lights constantly. If no network is available, the camera
switches to WLAN mode.
Installation in the WLAN
If the camera is supplied with electricity and no Ethernet is available, the camera switches to WLAN mode
and searches for an access point with the name “default”. This name is known as the SSID (Service Set
Identifier). If an access point with the SSID “default” is found, the LED on the front lights blue.
If connection with the basic settings (SSID: default) is not successful, connect the camera via a cable to the
wired network and configure it.
Make sure that all accessories and articles listed
above are present in the scope of delivery.
Depending on application, an Ethernet cable may
be required. This Ethernet cable must meet the
specifications of UTP Category 5 (CAT 5) and
must not be longer than 100 meters.
To prevent the risk of electric shock, first connect the socket of the transformer to the CMOS-
network camera before inserting the transformer into the mains socket.
Consult your dealer for the correct installation of peripheral devices.
