• Connecting the Power
Connect the supplied DC 5V power adaptor to the camera.
10

• Connecting the Wireless using WPS button
The camera supports the wireless function.
Follow steps for a proper operation.
1. Make sure your AP (Access Point) and Operating System support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
functions. WPS enables easy setup with compatible APs.
2. Press the WPS button on the camera for more 2 seconds. You can then see the Status LED is
blinking.
3. Press and hold down the WPS button on your AP (some router/AP will have a virtual button on
their management software instead). Refer to your AP's documentation for details using its WPS
functions
When WPS configuration is done, wireless connectivity will be established and the security
encryption, such as WEP or WPA-PSK, will be synchronized with the AP.
As for IP setting, the camera's use of DHCP or static IP is determined by your configuration on the
network camera via the web- based configuration of firmware. The camera's default is DHCP.
Notes:
1. WPS may not work if your AP is configured with a "hidden" SSID.
2. If any WPS-enabled AP is not detected, the camera will search APs for 60 seconds after
pressing the WPS button, and if the camera still can not detect an AP after 1 minute, the
wireless setup will be cancelled.
3. If a camera is assigned with a fixed IP outside the AP's network segment, wireless setup will
fail.

2) Network
The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled
simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for
the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the
network router. There is also the option of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more
information on setting the Network, please see Setup> System>Security>Network.
• Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP
addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly
used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP
address for a particular MAC address.
• Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the Network Camera,
check the radio button and then make the following settings:
- IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your Network Camera.
- Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the Network Camera is located on.
- Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for
connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.
Notes:
1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can
update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the Network Camera by name (host name).
If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory
default settings and then perform the installation again.
2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or
as soon as an IP address is set.
3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
