2.1 CAM_EZ Search
CAM_EZ Search is an IP search engine offered by this product. It can search IP
CAM connected in LAN. Through sending the inquiry of broadcasting packets, after IP
CAM responds the question, the window will display a list of all IP CAMs in the network.
And it allows you to modify the network settings of specified IP CAM, such as IP
address or IP CAM naming.
CAM_EZ Search Screen
2.2Use IP-CAM and test the image function for the first time
The following connection is suitable for IP-CAM test/fixed IP address change/
program code update (strongly recommended).
The operation steps are listed below:
A.Installing the Product for the first time:
- You computer must be equipped with network card and RT-45 network connector.
- Connect the RJ-45 terminator on the rear of IP-CAM to the red test network cable.
One end is connected to the network card of computer; the other end is connected
to the rear side of the IP-CAM.
- Connect the power adaptor to the power port (on the rear) of IP-CAM. Now, the
status LED on the top of IP-CAM will light up.

B.Check if the IP addresses for PC network and CAM_EZ Search are on the same
network section:
- Usually, static IP address will be used to access into Internet, so the IP address will
vary. When you want to change IP address, please write down the original IP address
on your computer first. Then you have to modify the IP address of your computer for
testing if the IP-CAM can be operated normally or not. After finishing the test, IP
address for your computer should be recovered to original settings.
- In general, the IP address for your computer in LAN will be set with “Auto Obtain IP
address”. To test if the IP-CAM is normal or not, the IP address of your computer
must be changed temporarily. After finishing the test, it can be recovered to original
settings.
C.Next, choose Control Panel->Network
Connections->choose the activated area
Network Connections---> right click
your mouse --->select Properties(P)---
> Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)--->
Select Properties(R) , then you can
check the current IP address status
for the computer. The way to modify IP
address is:

default settings for IP-CAM.
2.3 HOW TO SET UP IP CAM
Before you set up IP CAM, you have to know the network environment and if the IP
address is fixed or float that provided by your ISP. If you do not know, please contact
with your ISP. Section 2.5 will list the common network structure (1 ~ 7 types). Users
can refer to the structure to find out what type is suitable for his/her computer and
finish the setting up according to the instructions. To set up IP-CAM and IP address,
the common way that people use is to change the obtaining of IP address of IP-CAM.
Detailed information is listed as 2.4-1 ~ 2.4.3.
