network automatically. Please use Category 5 cable to connect the Network Camera to a
100Mbps Fast Ethernet network switch or hub.
In the LAN socket, there are two LEDs embedded:
LAN LED (green color)
This LED will be flashing while network accessing via Ethernet.
Power & Wireless LED (orange color)
This LED is used to indicate whether DC power is on or not. In addition, this LED will be
flashing while the wireless accessing of the Camera.
2. DI/ DO: Connect to sensor in and alarm out devices.

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.

(i) Press the button down continuously.
(ii) 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 Network Camera with the
power adapter included in package.
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.

Mounting the Camera
Ceiling Mount
Fix the camera to ceiling with the three supplied screws
Install the Camera in LAN
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Camera
Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN socket and attach it into the network.
2. Connect the external power supply to Camera
Connect the attached power adapter to the DC power jack of the camera. Note: Use the
power adapter, 12VDC, included in the package and connect it to wall outlet for AC
power.
Once you have installed the camera well and powered it on, the power LED (orange) will
turn on later. 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 (green) will flash.

Preparation
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.
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.

View
If IPWizard II finds network devices, View button will be available. Please select the
device you want to view and click the View button. Then you could see the video from
camera directly. Furthermore you could double click the left button of mouse to link to the
network device by browser.

LAN
In case you want to change the IP related parameters of wired interface, please select
the device you want to configure and click the LAN button. Relative settings will be
carried out as below.
You could modify the relative settings of the selected device. Click “<<” button will quit
the LAN setting procedure and click “>>” button will move to next page as below.

Network Camera User’s Guide

In case, you do not want to change username and/or password, then just click “Submit”
button to perform your setting accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous
page.
If you like to change username and/or password of the device, just click the check button.
Then, the related fields will show up as below.
After keying in new username and password, click “Submit” button to perform your
setting accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous page.
Wireless
This model does not support wireless function. Therefore, IPWizard II disables this
function automatically.

Using UPnP of Windows®XP or Vista
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 or Vista, 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.
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 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.
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
Refer to Setting ÎSystem ÎSystem page for detail DIPS information.
