Connecting the Camera and Personal Computer by Network (Cont.)
Connecting Camera and Personal Computer
1
Connect LAN cable and turn the power on.
Connect the LAN cable (straight cable) connected to the camera to
the hub. Or, connect the camera to a personal computer with the
power turned on using the LAN cable (cross cable).
･ Connect DC 12V to the power terminal.
2
Set the IP address of the personal computer.
･ Set the IP address which you are not using other than
192.168.0.30 (camera's IP address).
･ Set the IP address to 192.168.0.50 (and subnet mask to
255.255.255.0) as an example.
･ For details on the procedure, refer to the user's guide of the
personal computer.
3
Test the camera connection using ping.
･ Start a command prompt. Type "ping 192.168.0.30" and press
"Enter" key.
･ If the "Reply from..." message appears, the connection is correctly
established.
4
Search the camera by "Camera Finder" explained on
page 28 and view a camera image.
1. Start "Camera Finder" and click the "Search" button.
･ Confirm that the camera name "nwcam 21" is displayed in the
camera list.
2. Click "nwcam 21", to select.
･ Check that the camera name, IP address and HTTP port No. are
displayed in the "Network Camera Log-in" field.
3. Click the Administrator button or the User button.
･ Clicking the Administrator button will display a screen for
inputting the user name and password. Input the administrator
log-in ID and password. (See "Administrator Log-in" on page 30)
4. A camera image screen of the network camera will appear.
NOTE
●
To view images without using "Camera Finder," launch the Internet browser,
enter URL http://192.168.0.30/ in the address box and press "ENTER."
●
It takes about 30 seconds to activate the camera.
●
If a port number other than "80" is set, designate the port number by suffixing
it after ":" as in http://192.168.0.30:88/.
Connection Configuration
Two configurations are available for connection of network cameras.
・Crossover connection
・Connection via a hub, switch, or router

NOTE
●
You do not need to assign an IP address to a hub.
●
The IP address of your camera after purchasing from the store is automatically
set to 192.168.0.30 in case DHCP is not used. Set the IP address of your
personal computer in the same subnet. (The network segment must be the
same segment when directly connecting using a cross cable or connecting
through the hub)
When connecting more than one camera, connect each camera using IP
Address 192.168.0.30 and change the IP addresses of the second and
subsequent cameras to other IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.31.
●
You can also use the LAN port of your broadband router.
However, when using the broadband router, if the DHCP server function is
set to "ON", turn on the power after connecting the camera with the router.
The camera gets the IP address from the router's DHCP server and it may
not be 192.168.0.30.
For more information, read your user's guide for broadband router.
It is also recommended to set the computer's IP address from the router's
DHCP server.
For more information, read your computer's user's guide.
