Installing the Cisco VC 220 Network Camera
Software
Before You Begin
There are two ways of installing your Cisco VC 220 camera. You can use the Cisco
Video Monitoring System, or you can use the Cisco VC 220 product CD. The
product CD includes a Setup Wizard software program. Before using either
method of installation, consider the following recommendations.
General Recommendations
•
Read through this guide and other supporting materials to familiarize
yourself with the camera before continuing.
•
Internet Explorer may prompt you to accept ActiveX to view video; follow
the instructions to accept ActiveX.
Security Recommendations
•
The default username and password is
admin
. For security purposes, it is
highly recommended that you change the default name and password
using the camera’s web-based configuration utility at a later time.
•
To secure your camera from possible intrusion, it should be located behind
a router or appropriate firewall in your LAN.
•
Use the IP filtering feature to control which IP addresses can access your
cameras. See
“Network Setting > IP Filter” on page 49
for more
information.
