NETWORK CONNECTION*
Two Options
Use a PoE-enabled switch to connect data and power through a single cable
and begin viewing and recording images instantly. A non-PoE switch will
require an adaptor for power transmission.
1. Using a PoE-Enabled Switch
The MEGAPIX Camera is PoE-Compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a single Ethernet cable. PoE
eliminates the need for the different cables used to power, record, or control the camera. Follow the illustration below to
connect the camera to a PoE-enabled switch using an Ethernet cable.

NETWORK CONNECTION*
2. Using a Non-PoE Switch
If a PoE-enabled switch is not used, use a power adaptor for power transmission and non-PoE switch for data
transmission. Follow the illustrations below to connect the camera without a PoE-Enabled Switch.

10
INSTALLATION*
1. Using an appropriate mounting bracket, mark
and drill the necessary holes to mount the
bracket to a wall or ceiling.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the surface
using machine screws.
3. Attach the box camera to the mounting
bracket.
4. Adjust the camera’s position. Consult the

D H C P
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a device to configure
automatically according to the network it is connected to.
If your network supports DHCP, and your MEGAPIX camera is setup as DHCP; then once you search for your camera
using IP Finder, the search results will display your MEGAPIX camera with already set network settings that
correspond to your network requirements.
S t a t i c
Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP. If Static is selected, then
you must enter manually all the network settings for your MEGAPIX camera that would correspond with your network.
Static IP addresses are recommended if you want to setup your device to be accessed externally via the internet. For
each setup of the camera to static IP address, it is recommended that you first setup the camera to DHCP, allow it to
configure itself according to your network, and then change the settings to a static IP address.
1. To set your MEGAPIX camera to static, highlight the desired device from the search results list, and click on
Configuration. In the new setup window, verify static is selected.
2. Enter the following information: IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, Preferred DNS.
3. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.
D D N S
Dynamic Domain Server is a feature that allows you to use a URL instead of an IP address to access your MEGAPIX
camera. The feature is optional, for it may require subscription and payment.
1. To use the DDNS feature, check the box next to Use DDNS.
2. Select the server you wish to use. *Some servers may require subscription and payment.
3. Enter the desired Hostname.
4. If applicable, enter the User ID and Password.
5. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.

Pressing the reset button on the camera’s control board for five (5) seconds will initialize all environmental variables to
factory default. Previous setup for IP default, time, etc. will be deleted. If a system’s IP address is lost, reset the camera
back to factory default.
The following are the default network settings.
