2.1 Initial Requirements
Software Requirements
Installation and conguration require the following:
• Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP Operating System
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or higher
Other browsers (i.e. Mozilla Firefox) are not currently supported.

2.2 Physical IP Camera Connections
Connect to the Network
Connect the EV6150A to network hub/switch via a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable
with an RJ-45 connector. Please note that the PC must be on the same network
domain as the IP camera.
Connect Digital I/O
For digital I/O functionality, connect the corresponding devices with the IP camera
via the digital I/O terminal.
Properly align the wiring and terminals when connecting; an
improper connection can damage the camera.
Connect Audio In
For audio functionality, connect the audio input cable.
Video icker may occur when enabling/disenabling audio.
This situation normally only lasts for a second.
Power on IP Camera
Connect the power adapter to the power connector. The adapter should be
connected to 110v~22OV AC socket. There is no power button on the camera, so
connecting/disconnecting the power adapter will start/shutdown the IP camera.
2.3 Initial Network Conguration
To congure the IP camera’s network settings use the EtroScan™ utility.
Factory IP Address
Below are the initial factory IP address settings for the IP camera:
IP Address 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1

2 USING THE EV6150A FOR THE FIRST TIME
Using EtroScan™
EtroScan™ allows users to easily nd an IP camera and congure the settings.
Select EtroScan™ from the start menu to start.
Press the Scan button to list the IP and MAC address list for IP cameras on the
network.
A new IP camera will display the factory IP address, 192.168.1.2. However, if
multiple new devices are present on the network, then multiple instances of
192.168.1.2 will be listed.

2 USING THE EV6150A FOR THE FIRST TIME
2 USING THE EV6150A FOR THE FIRST TIME
To identify a specic IP camera, use the MAC address which is located on the
bottom of the camera. Below is an example of the label displaying the MAC
address.
Change Network Setting via EtroScan™
There are two ways to modify the network settings.

2 USING THE EV6150A FOR THE FIRST TIME
2 USING THE EV6150A FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Double click on a specic IP address; the setting page will be displayed.
2. Click Change Setting… button at the bottom of the screen.
Either method will display the network settings conguration.

2 USING THE EV6150A FOR THE FIRST TIME
2 USING THE EV6150A FOR THE FIRST TIME
The default password for the administrator account (root) is pass. Enter the default
password and click OK to conrm the changes.
After applying the new network settings, the IP camera will reboot; this process
takes about 45 seconds. The IP camera’s Power LED light will blink during the
reboot process; the light will become stable once reboot is complete.
Exit the “Setting Page” by clicking Close, and wait for the reboot to complete.
After rebooting, press Scan to verify the new IP address. If using DHCP, then the
MAC address may be necessary to accurately identify a specic camera.
Press Exit to quit EtroScan™.
2.4 Access the IP Camera Web Interface
MS Internet Explorer is used to access and congure the IP camera. When
accessing an IP camera using the web interface for the rst time, some
conguration for ActiveX controls may be required.
1. Open the IE browser
2. Type in the IP address of the IP camera
3. Enter the administrator username and password:
User name: root
Default password: pass
Press OK button to access to the Live View web page.
Usernames and passwords are case sensitive.
The administrator password should be changed after installation is
complete. Please refer to the User Manual for more information.

Most likely other ActiveX controls will be required. Repeat the above procedure of
adding ActiveX controls until the no other add-on requests are displayed and the
Live View page loads without error.

3 ETROLINK™ CONFIGURATION PORT
The EtroLink™ USB Conguration Port provides an alternate method of
conguration.
The EtroLink™ USB Conguration allows conguration using a Quick Cong
Wizard which requires no software installation.
3.1 OS Requirements
The PC which will access the IP camera using the EtroLink™ USB port requires the
following to run the EtroLink™ Quick Cong Wizard:
• Windows XP (all editions)
• Windows 2000 (all editions)
• Windows 98 (SE)
Windows XP should run the wizard automatically.
Windows 2000 and 98(SE) require manually running the EtroLink™ Quick Cong
Wizard.
3.2 Setup Using the EtroLink™ Cong Port
