4.3Using the microSD slot
Disconnect the power supply before inserting the
microSD card.
The microSD card can only be inserted into the socket in a
certain position. Use a narrow pointed object (such as a flat
narrow screwdriver) to insert it. When it is correctly positioned,
the card is flush with the housing surface and does not
protrude.
The card is detected by the camera when the power supply is
reconnected, and can then be used as desired.
The microSD card cannot be replaced when the system
is in operation!
To use the microSD card function, an active Internet
connection that makes the correct time available to the camera
after a restart is required (NTP function).

4.6Putting into operation
The network camera automatically detects whether a direct connection between the PC and camera should
be made. A cross-over network cable is not required for this. You can use the supplied patch cable for direct
connection when putting into operation for the first time.
Direct connection of the network camera to a PC / laptop
1. Ensure that a CAT 5 network cable is used.
2. Connect the cable to the Ethernet interface of the PC / laptop and the network camera.
3. Connect the power supply to the network camera.
4. Configure the network interface of your PC / laptop to the IP address 192.168.1.1 and the default
gateway to 192.168.1.2.
5. Go to point 4.6 to finish the initial set-up and establish the connection to the network camera.
Connecting the network camera to a router / switch
1. Ensure that a CAT 5 network cable is used.
2. Connect the PC / laptop to the router / switch.
3. Connect the network camera to the router / switch.
4. Connect the power supply to the network camera.
5. If a DHCP server is available in your network, set the network interface of your PC / laptop to
“Obtain an IP address automatically”.
6. If no DHCP server is available, configure the network interface of your PC / laptop to 192.168.1.1
and the default gateway to 192.168.1.2.
7. Go to point 4.6 to finish the initial set-up and establish the connection to the network camera.

4.7Accessing the network camera for the first time
The network camera is accessed for the first time using the IP Installer.
After the installation wizard is started, it searches for all connected EyseoIP network cameras and video
servers in your network.
The program is found on the supplied CD-ROM. Install the program on your PC and then run it.
If a DHCP server is available in your network, the IP address is assigned automatically for both the PC /
laptop and the network camera.
If no DHCP server is available, the network camera determines a free IP address from the 192.168.1.2–
192.168.1.254 range independently. Your PC system must be located in the same IP segment in order to
establish communications with the network camera.
The standard setting for the network camera is “DHCP”. If no DHCP server is in operation in
your network, then we recommend setting the IP address manually to a fixed value following
initial access to the network camera.

75
4.8Accessing the network camera over a web browser
When you first access the network camera under Windows, the web browser queries the installation of an
ActiveX plug-in for the network camera. This query depends on the Internet security settings of your PC. If the
highest security level is set, the PC will refuse any installation and any attempt at running it. This plug-in is
used for displaying the video in the browser. To continue, click “Install”. If the web browser prevents the
installation, open the Internet security settings and reduce the security level or consult your IT or network
administrator.
4.9Installing the ActiveX plug-in
If Mozilla Firefox is used as the browser when accessing the camera, an MJPEG stream is
provided by the camera instead of the ActiveX plug-in.
4.10 Adjusting the security settings
Note: Your PC security settings may prevent a video stream. You can change the security
settings to a lower level under “Tools / Internet Options / Security”. Make sure you enable
ActiveX controls and downloads.

76
4.11 Password prompt
An administrator password is defined in the network camera as standard. However, the administrator should
define a new password immediately for security reasons. After the new administrator password is stored, the
network camera asks for the user name and password every time it is accessed.
The administrator account is set up in the factory as follows: user name “admin” and password “12345”. Each
time the network camera is accessed, the browser displays an authentication window and asks for the user
name and password. If you can no longer access your personal settings in the administrator account, you can
log in again with user name “admin” and password “12345” after resetting the network camera to the factory
settings.
To enter a user name and password, proceed as follows:
Open Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the camera (e.g. “http://192.168.1.14”).
You are then prompted for authentication:
-> You are now connected with the network camera and can see a video stream.
4.12 Accessing the network camera over an RTSP player
You have the possibility of accessing the MPEG-4 / H.264 data streams on the network camera with an
RTSP-compatible media player. The following free media players support RTSP:
VLC Media Player
Real Player
Quicktime Media Player
The address format for entering the connection data is as follows:
rtsp://<IP address of the network camera>:<RTSP port>/<Type of video data stream>
Example:
rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.mjpg (MJPEG stream)
rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.mp4 (MPEG-4 stream)
rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.h264 (H.264 stream)
Standard user name: admin
Standard password: 12345

77
4.13 Accessing the network camera over a mobile phone
Ensure that you can establish an Internet connection over your mobile phone. Your mobile phone must also
be equipped with an RTSP-compatible media player. The following media players for mobile phones support
RTSP:
Real Player
Core Player
Please note that access to the network camera via mobile phone is restricted due to the reduced network
bandwidth available. We therefore recommend making the following video stream settings in order to reduce
the data quantity:
Video compression MPEG-4
Resolution 160x120
Frame rate 5 frames / second
Video quality (constant bit rate) 48 kbps
If your media player does not support RTSP authentication, then deactivate the authentication mode for RTSP
in the network camera configuration settings.
The address format for entering the connection data is as follows:
rtsp://<IP address of the network camera>:<RTSP port>/<Type of video data stream>
Example:
rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.3gp

78
4.14 Accessing the network camera over ABUS VMS
The free ABUS VMS Express recording software can be found on the supplied CD-ROM. You then have the
possibility of connecting and recording several ABUS Security Center network cameras on one interface.
Further information can be found in the software manual on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Protocol: Allows you to select a transmission protocol for data transfer between the client and the server. The
following protocol options are available for optimizing the application: UDP, TCP, HTTP.
The UDP protocol gives you a larger number of real-time video streams. However, some data packets can be
lost due to the large data volume in the network. Pictures may be unclear in this case. The UDP protocol is
recommended if you have no special requirements.
With the TCP protocol, fewer data packets are lost and the video display is more accurate. However, the
disadvantage of this protocol is that the video stream is transmitted at a lower frame rate than the UDP
protocol.
Use the HTTP protocol if the network is protected by a firewall and only the HTTP port (80) is available.
The selection of the protocol is recommended to be made in the following order: UDP – TCP – HTTP
This function is only available when using Internet Explorer.
Video buffer: Activate the video buffer if your line has low bandwidth. Image data is saved temporarily in the
network camera for clearer transmission, meaning the image delay is increased.
This function is only available when using Internet Explorer.
PT control
Use the control buttons for pan/tilt control on the camera.
Arrows:
The pan/tilt head is moved by clicking the button
in the corresponding direction
Home:
