Dear Customer,
The following safety information and hazard notes are not only intended to protect your health but
also to protect the device from damage. Please read the following points carefully:
There are no components inside the product that require maintenance by the operator. Opening or
dismantling the product invalidates the CE certification and guarantee claims/warranty.
The product may be damaged if it is dropped, even from a low height.
Avoid the following adverse conditions during operation:
Moisture or excess humidity
Extreme heat or cold
Direct sunlight
Dust or flammable gases, vapours or solvents
Strong vibrations
Strong magnetic fields (e.g. next to machines or loudspeakers)
The camera must not be installed on unstable surfaces.
General safety information:
Do not leave packaging material lying around. Plastic bags, sheeting, polystyrene packaging, etc.
can pose a danger to children if played with.
The video surveillance camera contains small parts which could be swallowed and must be kept
out of the reach of children for safety reasons.
Do not insert any objects into the device through the openings.
Only use replacement devices and accessories that are approved by the manufacturer. Do not
connect any non-compatible products.
Please pay attention to the safety information and user manuals for the other connected devices.
Check the device for damage before putting it into operation. Do not put the device into operation if
you identify any damage.
Adhere to the normal voltage limits specified in the technical data. Higher voltages could destroy
the device and pose a health risk (electric shock).
When installing the device in an existing video surveillance system, ensure that all devices
have been disconnected from the mains power circuit and low-voltage circuit.
If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry out assembly, installation and connection of the
device. Improper or unprofessional work on the power supply system or domestic installation
puts both you and other persons at risk.
Connect the installations so that the mains power circuit and low-voltage circuit always run
separately
from each other. They should not be connected at any point or become connected as a
result of a malfunction.

4. Initial start-up
4.1 Using the ABUS IP Installer for camera search
Install and start up the ABUS IP Installer using the enclosed software CD (or alternatively using
the ABUS website www.abus.com, available for each respective product).
The IP camera should now appear in the selection list without the relevant IP address for the
target network, where appropriate. The IP settings for the camera can be changed using the IP
installer.
The language preference for the camera can also be changed using the ABUS IP installer. This
will change the language preference for the master and installer users at the same time (for an
explanation of master/installer, see chapter "User accounts and passwords"). Individual language
preferences can be amended in the settings menus for master and installer.
Please be aware, that the language preference for the camera homepage is set
automatically depending on the operating system language preference. If this
language is not available in the camera, the homepage will be shown in English.
Using the "Browser" button, a previously selected camera can be opened directly in the internet
browser (the default browser for Windows will be used).

4.2 Accessing the network camera using a web browser
Enter the camera IP address into the address bar in the browser (if a different HTTP Port is used
in Internet Explorer you must also enter "http://“ before the IP address.)

4.4 Installing a video plugin
Internet Explorer
A plugin called ActiveX is used for displaying videos in Internet Explorer. This plugin must be
installed in the browser. You will be asked to confirm the installation directly after entering your
username and password (default: master/master).
If the ActiveX Plugin installation is blocked by Internet Explorer, you will need
to reduce your security settings to install/initialise ActiveX.

66
Mozilla Firefox
A plugin is used to display videos in Mozilla Firefox. You will be asked to confirm the installation
directly after entering your username and password (default: master/master or installer/installer).
Google Chrome
Note relating to Google Chrome (older versions up to Version 42): the video
plugin is only supported by the Windows version of the Google Chrome
browser.
In Google Chrome (up to Google Chrome Version 42), you must
also make sure that the NAPI interface is activated
The most recent version of Google Chrome no longer supports
video plugins. This means that it is not possible to display video.
