Safety Instructions
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.
To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion
of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any
static electricity on your body.
 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component
stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR
clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded
object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-6252 to
ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
 Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or
parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag
instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional
assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.
NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE
COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC
PROTECTION.

Installation
3.1 Mount the BS-200
The BS-200 provides screw holes on both the top and bottom surfaces
of the unit for mounting the stand assembly. You can mount your
BS-200 on a desktop, a wall, or ceiling by adjusting the linked way of
stand assembly.
3.2 Connector to Network
Connect an Ethernet cable (twisted pair CAT5 terminated cable with a
standard RJ-45 connector) to your BS-200 and attach it to the network.

6
3.3 Connect to Power Supply
Attach the external Power Adapter to the unit and connect it to your
local power socket.
NOTE: Ensure you power supply adapter specification. The Output DC
12V 1A is for BS-200 Network Camera. The Input AC Voltage must
match to your power system, e.g. 110V/220V.
3.4 Assign IP Address
Before using BS-200, users must set the IP address in advance. There
are two different ways to set IP address into BS-200.
NOTE Before IP Assignment:
 Make sure the BS-200 is powered on and connected to the network
correctly.
 Obtain a unique IP address from your network administrator.
 Each BS-200 has unique Ethernet address (MAC address), which is
recorded as 12 digits serial number labeled at the bottom side of BS-200
 Following examples use PC with IP address 192.168.0.1, and going to
setup BS-200 server to IP address 192.168.0.200 whose MAC address is
000429000150. DO NOT USE those addresses featured as examples in
this document, always consult your network administrator before assigning
an IP address.
 The IP address assigned to BS-200 shall be the same IP domain
(presented as same subnet mask) as PC IP address. In our case, PC IP
address is 192.168.0.1 and BS-200 is 192.168.0.200, so the subnet mask
shall be 255.255.255.0. If PC subnet mask is 255.255.255.128 or higher,
then the domain can’t cover 192.168.0.200, so the setting won’t take
effective.

7
 For speedily installing and easily setting the IP Address, the BOSER
provides an IP Installer Wizard for you. Please install the application and
see the user’s manual for detailed description and usage.
1. In Windows, open DOS window.

Enter DOS by <Start Program MS-DOS Prompt>.
2. Ensure the IP address assigned to BS-200 doesn’t occupy by
other Host.

In DOS window, entering <ping 192.168.0.200> shall get “time out”
message.
C:\>ping 192.168.0.200
Pinging 192.168.0.200 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Ping statistBS-200 for 192.168.0.200:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
C:\>
3. Enter command <arp –s [BS-200 IP Address] [BS-200 MAC
Address]>.

In DOS, enter “arp –s 192.168.0.200 00-04-29-00-01-50”.
4. Enter command <ping –t [BS-200 IP Address]> shall get
constant reply after 3~4 timeouts, then press CTRL-C to exit
pinging.

In DOS, enter “ping –t 192.168.0.200”.
C:\>arp –s 192.168.0.200 00-04-29-00-01-50

5. Complete setting and verify the installation. Then, open your
web browser (e.g. IE) and enter the IP address in the
Location/Address field. Consequently, the BS-200 video home
page will be opened.
 Enter http://192.168.0.200 in Location/Address field of IE, then the
Internet live video can be opened.
3.5 Assign IP by IP Installer
BOSER IP Installer is a Windows 98/ME/NT/2000 program. It is the
software providing an easier way for the setting of IP address and
network configurations of BOSER’s Network Camera and Internet
Video Server. Using this tool, you can easily set multiple BOSER
Network Cameras and Video Servers at the same time with the batch
setting function. By utilizing IP Installer, the setting process is largely
simplified and the setting time is effectively shortened. Moreover, IP
installer can not only save all the configurations of Video Servers as
backup, but also restore the previous configurations of Video Servers.

3.5.1 Execute IP Installer
1. Double click the mouse left button on the IP Installer icon.
2. The BOSER IP Installer form is displayed on the screen.
3.5.2 Preparation before IP Assignment
Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP
address to your server. Make sure the BOSER Video Servers is
powered on and correctly connected to the network. Obtain an IP
address not used yet from your network administrator. Each BOSER
Network Video Servers has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address)
shown on the bottom of the Video Server as the serial number (S/N)
with 12 digitals (e.g. 000429-xxxxxx).

10
3.5.3 Assign an IP Address to BOSER Video Server
Select the MAC Address of your BOSER Video Server in the list. The
MAC Address is identical to the unit’s S/N (Serial Number). And click
the menu bar View/Property to open the Property Page for the selected
item. After filling in the properties, click the OK button to submit the
settings for the unit and the settings will be activated immediately.

3.6 Verify and Complete the Installation
from Your Browser
Start your browser and enter the IP Address of your BOSER Video
Server in the location/address field.
3.7 Focus Your Camera
Fix your preferred lens to the BOSER Video Server. Turning it clock
wise fits the lens.
