networking knowledge. Making the initial steps for setting up the network camera will be based on a simple
network connection.
Option 1
Connect the network camera to a HUB / Switch which is connected to a PC
Option 2
Connect the network camera directly to a PC with a crossover cable.
After the network camera has its activity lights on, use the PC for setting up the IP Address of the etwork camera.
Refer to the section of “Accessing the Network Camera” at the next page for detailed instructions.
Hints: Possible Network Con igurations in your network in rastructure
1. Con iguration 1
Internet Access: ADSL or Cable Modem
IP address: One real IP or one dynamic IP
Connection Type: Only the etwork Camera connects to the internet
For fixed real IP, set up the IP into the etwork camera. For dynamic IP, start PPPoE.
2. Con iguration 2
Internet Access: ADSL or Cable Modem
IP address: More than one real IP or one dynamic IP
Connection Type: The etwork Camera and PC connect to the internet
Device needed: Switch Hub
For fixed real IP, set up the IP into the etwork camera and PC. For dynamic IP, start
PPPoE.
3. Con iguration 3
Internet Access: ADSL or Cable Modem
IP address: one real IP or one dynamic IP
Connection Type: The etwork Camera and PC connect to the internet
Device needed: IP sharing such as Hub / Switch and a Router

alarms for the Event Configuration feature.
Pin 4~ 5: for connecting Pan Tilt and Zoom devices.
The network camera can be placed with Pan / Tilt
device to control the pan left/right, or tilt up/down. It
may also be possible to use motorized zoom cameras,
in order to zoom in/out at convenience.
Pin 7 ~ 8: For connecting audio devices, that allows
the transmission of audio through the video
streaming.
3.4.1 Connecting Alarm devices
Connect Pin 1 and Pin 2 for an external relay device such as an alarm that expects to be activated.
Connect Pin 3 and Pin 6 for an external Triggering device for sending a signal into the etwork Camera.
Refer to Chapter 5) Configuring the camera, Event Settings for more references on how to use the even
trigger and alarm to perform tasks such as taking snapshots and uploading images.
3.4.2 Connecting Audio Devices
The etwork Camera has an Audio Input (Line in) and Audio Output (for connecting speakers) with

3.4.3 Connecting Pan/Tilt/Zoom Devices
The etwork Camera allows the connection of a Pan/Tilt/Zoom device into the camera.
The RS485 (+) and RS485(-) may be used for connecting such devices.
The supported protocol is Pelco D and Pelco P.
Refer to Chapter 5) Configuring the Camera, Camera Settings for more references on setting and
controlling the device by the Web user interface.
3.5 Power-over-Ethernet supported Network Cameras
The etwork Camera comes as an optional model which supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
Using Power-over-Ethernet as power supplying mode, takes advantage of having a simple connection, with
only one Ethernet Cable to act like Data and Power transmission. And it is not necessary to use any Power
Adapter since the powering will be done directly through the Ethernet Connector.
