2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the camera from the Web site. The
software will be taken from the Software Package CD.
IP Installer
The IP Installer is used to locate and configure Network Cameras and video servers on the LAN. This
utility is useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the device, or for finding a device
once the network settings have been modified.
To install the IP Installer, from the Software Package CD UI, select IPInstaller, and then follow the on
screen instructions.
VLC
Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser. Besides, the
VLC may be helpful in reviewing the recorded video files in the Micro SD card. Please refer to the
appendix II & III for more details on how to install and use the VLC program.
Network Configuration
IPInstaller is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network
settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple
devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network
settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary. IPInstaller is able to help
non-professional users to quickly setup their network cameras to work in a professional manner.
Preparation before IP Assignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to
avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the device is powered on and correctly connected to the network. This network can be simply a
hub, PC and the network camera; and the network camera may directly connect to the PC too.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the
device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IPInstaller is able to find and configure any Network Cameras in the LAN except those that
are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the
Web-based user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information
