automatically. Please use Category 5 or better cable to connect the Network Camera to
an Ethernet network switch.
In the LAN socket, there are two LEDs embedded:
Power LED (orange color)
This LED is used to indicate whether DC power is on or not.
LAN LED (green color)
This LED will be flashing while network accessing via Ethernet.
2. RS-485: Connect to a local keyboard controller.

3. Factory Default Reset
This button is used to restore the all factory default settings. Sometimes restarting the
device will make the system back to a normal state. However, if the system still got
problems after restart, user can restore the factory default settings and install it again.
Restore the device:
1. While the Camera is ready and then press the button down continuously.
2. Hold the button at least 5 seconds and release it. Then the device has been
restored to default settings and reboot again.
Note: Restoring the factory default setting will lose the all previous settings included IP
address forever. User needs to run the IPWizard II program to search the device and
configure it to let the device work properly again.
4. DC-in Jack
The input power is 12VDC.
Note that supply the power to the Camera with a 12VDC/1A power adapter. Otherwise,
the improper power adapter may damage the unit and result in danger.
5. MIC in (audio in)
Connect a microphone to the network camera.
6. Line out (audio out)
Connect a loud speaker to the network camera. This function is for voice alerting and
two-way audio.

Hardware Installation
1. Fix a proper stand to desired location
2. Attach the Camera to the stand
3. Plug an Ethernet Cable into LAN port
Plug an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector and connect it to the network.
4. Connect an external power supply to Camera, if not powering by PoE
Connect the (option) power adapter to the DC power jack of the camera.
Note: Use a power adapter, 12VDC/1A and connect it to wall outlet for AC power.
5. Done
Once you have installed the camera well and powered it on, the Power LED (orange) will
turn on later. Once the Power LED turned on, it means the system is booting up
successfully. Furthermore, if you have a proper network connection, and access to the
camera, the LAN LED will flash green

UPnP of Windows®XP, Vista or 7
UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that
provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This
device is an UPnP enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, Vista or 7, of
your PC is UPnP enabled, the Network Camera will be very easy to be found.
Please make sure to enable UPnP settings first if your operating system of PC is running
Windows XP.
Note:Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.
To discover your device, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places.
Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera
automatically.

Install the Device behind a NAT
Router
Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the
Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the
device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP
address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the
WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual
Server function of router needs to be setup.
However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT
traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt
to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera (default)
(3) Access your Network Camera by DDNS
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is
enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of
routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT
router for detail.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting

this option is default enabled.
(3) Access your Network Camera by DDNS
