3.1 Read Before Use
The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. The Network Camera is not only a
high-performance web-ready camera but can also be part of a flexible surveillance system. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the operation of such devices is legal before installing this unit for its intended use.
It is important to first verify that all contents received are complete. Take note of the warnings in the Quick
Installation Guide before the Network Camera is installed; then carefully read and follow the instructions in the
Installation chapter to avoid damage due to faulty assembly and installation. This also ensures the product is used
properly as intended. It is designed for various applications including video sharing, general security/surveillance,
etc.
3.2 Hardware Installation Steps
After unpacking the package and identifying its parts, assemble the network camera to run the device for the first
time.
It is recommended set up the camera before installing it to the intended location.
The following instructions will consist of basic steps that will help you through the hardware preparation.
Other required devices before powering up the Network Camera:
1. Personal Computer or Laptop; and
2. Network Hub or Switch and 2 (two) pieces of Ethernet Cable; or
3. 1(one) piece of Crossover Ethernet Cable
STEPS:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to establish connection between the camera’s network port and a network
hub/switch. Then, connect the power adapter (For Network Cameras that are
Power-over-Ethernet supported, the Power Adapter is not necessary). Refer to the images below.
2. After the Power Connector is plugged in, the Network Camera will boot up.
3. Wait a few seconds for the Network Camera to startup
4. Refer to the section of “Using the Network Camera for the first time” in the next page

Attaching the dome cover
After all necessary adjustment has been made reinstall the dome cover to the main body.
Reinstall the dome cover and the main body by turning the dome clockwise until it locks in place.
The dome comes with a black plastic inner liner placed within the dome cover. Therefore, after replacing the
dome cover rotate the liner so that the cutout slot (hole for viewing) is in the correct position and not blocking
the camera lens.
Camera Protection

3.3 Using the Terminal Block
The network camera comes with a Terminal Block
that can offer multiple functions to the user:
Pin 1 ~ 4: Intended for triggering and receiving alarms
for the Event Configuration feature.
Pin 5, 6: Terminal block also provides 2 pins, Pin 5 and
6, for “load default”. With 2 wires connected to Pin 5
& 6, keep 2 wires in touch until System LED fast
flashing. Then, separate them to activate “load
default”.
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 4 for an external Triggering device for sending a signal into the Network 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.
Load default
With 2 wires connected to Pin 5 & 6, keep 2 wires in touch (or close circuit) until System LED fast flashing. Then,
separate (or open) them to activate “load default”.

3.4 Network Connection for PoE/Non-PoE Cameras
The Network 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.
Below a comparison between a Regular Ethernet connection and a connection using Network Camera with
built-in Power-over-Ethernet.
Note:For safety precautions, when using a PoE Video Encoder, ensure that the standard Power
Connector has been removed before plugging the Ethernet cable (which is attached on the other end to a
PoE Hub / Switch).

3.6 Using the Network Camera for the first time
The Network Camera is a network device and its use should be straightforward for those who have basic
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 Network
camera. Refer to the section of “Accessing the Network Camera” at the next page for detailed instructions.
Hints: Possible Network Configurations in your network infrastructure
1. Configuration 1
Internet Access: ADSL or Cable Modem
IP address: One real IP or one dynamic IP
Connection Type: Only the Network Camera connects to the internet
For fixed real IP, set up the IP into the Network camera. For dynamic IP, start PPPoE.
2. Configuration 2
Internet Access: ADSL or Cable Modem
IP address: More than one real IP or one dynamic IP
Connection Type: The Network Camera and PC connect to the internet
Device needed: Switch Hub
For fixed real IP, set up the IP into the Network camera and PC. For dynamic IP, start
PPPoE.
3. Configuration 3
Internet Access: ADSL or Cable Modem
IP address: one real IP or one dynamic IP
Connection Type: The Network Camera and PC connect to the internet
Device needed: IP sharing such as Hub / Switch and a Router
Use virtual IP, set up port forwarding in IP sharing.
(Suggestion: Refer to your Network Administrator if necessary for more information)

4Accessing the Network Camera
Before getting access to the Network Camera from user’s PC, it’s necessary to properly configure its network
setting. This camera uses 192.168.1.200 as the default IP address. If you would like to assign a new static IP
address, please install “CAM7 Series Device Search” from the CD-ROM, and then use this program to do that.
4.1 Find Camera
1. Once installed on the PC, click on [Start Menu >> All Programs >> Asoni >> Search Tooling >> Asoni CAM7
Series Device Search] to open the software.
2. The software automatically (or by clicking on “Search” button) displays cameras on the network. Identify
your camera by its MAC Address that is shown on the label of the camera.
3. Click on “Web” button or double-click on the identified camera item on the list to launch live viewing (it is
assumed that the network cable you’ve connected to your camera has provided a set of useable IP
address/subnet mask/Gateway), or click on “Config” button to configuring IP information.
4.2 Before Assigning an IP Address
Before assigning an IP address, make sure the Network Camera is powered on and correctly connected to the
network.
Obtain a LAN IP address not yet used and its related configuration from your network administrator.
The following will be required:
1. IP Address
2. Subnet Mask
3. Gateway
MAC Address: Each Network Camera has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the
Network Camera.
Hints: When assigning an IP Address
User can find necessary IP information by checking the current IP information of user’s host PC via Windows
command “ipconfig”:
-Click on Windows screen: the Start Menu >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt.
-Type “ipconfig” at the command prompt to show the current IP information of user’s host PC.

13
For example,
C:\ >ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connections:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : king-tech.com
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.102
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254
C:\ >
Then, use other IP address 192.168.1.xxx (1-253, except IP address of host PC 192.168.1.102), the same subnet
mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.254 for the network camera.
4.3 Assigning the IP address to the network camera
Select a Network Camera and click on “Setup”. Then, start to configure network settings, such as the following
fields:
IP Address / Subnet Mask / Gateway / DNS
Click on “Update” to apply the changes only by using administrator’s privilege (default user/password =
admin/admin).
To open the main page of the network camera, select your camera and click on “Web”.
* Remember to input a different
value for the last digits of IP address
from the “ipconfig”, ranging from 1
to 255.
Make sure you enter the same
values for Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway shown on your “ipconfig”
screen.
