A. Hardware Installation
Cable Connections
Network Connector: The RJ-45 connector allows connect the Ethernet cable.

Power Jack:
To connect the included power adapter.
Audio Out: The RCAconnector allows connect to an amplified speaker,
you can hear the voice of the remote site from the speaker.
Digital I/O: Digital In and Digital Out.
SD Card Slot (on the
side of the enclosure): Insert a SD card if you want to do the event recording (video only) in the camera.
1. Connect the cable of Digital I/O and Audio output if you want to use these
functionalities.
2. Connect Ethernet cable for network connection.
3. Connect power adapter to turn on the camera.
4. If the camera is PoE model, the power adapter is not necessary. The camera will get

the power from the Ethernet cable. Please follow the below figure for the connection.
5. Set up the network configurations according to the network environment. For further
explanation, please refer to Network Configuration chapter.
I/O Connections
I/O terminal connector – used in application, for e.g., motion detection, event triggering,
alarm notifications. It provides the interface to:
1 set of Digital Input (Alarm In + GND) – The digital inputs for connecting devices
that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, such as PIRs, door/window
contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the status changes
and the input becomes active.
2 sets of Relay Output (N.O. + COM or N.C. + COM) –The output to Relay switch
of the alarm device such as LEDs, Sirens, etc.

C. IP Assignment
Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your
camera in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
MACAddress: Each network camera has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address)
shown on the sticker of the camera.
One final note, although the IP Search is able to find and configure any network
camera on the LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the
host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of
the network camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information
about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
There are 3 kinds of IP configuration:
Fixed IP (Public IP or Virtual IP)
DHCP (Dynamic IP)
Dial-up (PPPoE)
IP Search is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP
address and network settings of the network camera in Local Network (LAN). It even
provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously.
Moreover, IP Search can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and
restore them when necessary.
The software can be installed from the attached software CD.
1. Once IP Search has been successfully installed on the computer, double click the
“IP Search” icon on the desktop.
