1. Preparation
Before you can use your IP camera, some preparations must be
taken care of.
Connect antenna
Plug the wireless antenna into the connector and tighten the
mounting bolts.
Insert SD-card
The Plug&View IP cameras support MicroSD cards with up to 32 GB
storage capacity, which you can buy at your resellers. Pictures or
videos taken with your IP camera are then stored on this card.
If your camera has an external port and does not have existing
internal memory, insert your MicroSD card into the corresponding
slot until it firmly snaps into place.
Connect power supply
Plug the cable of the enclosed power supply into the "Power"
connection of the camera.
Connect camera to router (e.g. AVM Fritz! Box,
Telekom Speedport etc.)*
Connect one end of the supplied network cable to the LAN port of
the camera. Connect the other end of the network cable to one of
the connectors marked as 'LAN' on the back of your router. Some
routers have only one LAN connection, others have multiple
connections. Your router must have a working Internet connection.
* You can skip this point with the access point mode of the
cameras. For DN-16047 this point must be skipped.
