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.

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.
