2.1 Search and Set up by IPWizard II
When you installed the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search
your Cameras by IPWizard II or UPnP™ discovery. Here is the way to execute IPWizard II
to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.
2.1.1 Search
When launch the IPWizard II, a searching window will pop up. IPWizard II is starting to
search Network Cameras on the LAN. The existed devices will be listed as below.

2.2 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 refer to Appendix J to enable UPnP settings only 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.

2. Preparation
AirLive OD-2050HD User’s Manual 10
Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera
automatically.
2.3 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 DIPS
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 ÎNetwork ÎUPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this
option is default enabled.
2.4 Access the Device from the Internet Explorer for the First Time
1. Start the web browser on the computer and type the IP address of the Camera you
want to monitor as below:
The Login Window of the Camera is prompted:
2. Type in your login name and password under “USERNAME” and “PASSWORD”
textbox.
For the first time use (default value), input the
User Name: admin
Password: airlive
That’s type in “admin” on the “USERNAME” and “airlive” on the “PASSWORD”. Click “OK”
button to start the main menu.
