3 INITIAL CONFIGURATION
3.1 Initial Requirements
Software Requirements
Installation and configuration require the following:
•Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP Operating System
•Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or higher
NOTE: Other browsers (i.e. Mozilla Firefox) are not currently supported.
Install EtroScan™
EtroScan™ is a utility is used to configure network settings for IP cameras and
other devices (i.e. NVR). EtroScan™ is available via two methods.
EtroScan™ can also be downloaded from Etrovision’s website. It is available in
the Software Tools section of the Download area,
http://www.etrovision.com/Download_list.aspx?no=5.
After downloading the archived file, extract the contents and run Setup.exe to
install EtroScan.
3.2 Physical IP Camera Connections
Connect to the Network
onnect the camera to network hub/switch via a standard AT5 Ethernet cable
with an RJ-45 connector. Please note that the P must be on the same network
domain as the IP camera.
NOTE: Please use a gigabit Ethernet switch for high bit rate streaming.
Connect Digital I/O
urrently not supported in firmware version 0.1.2.
Connect Audio In/Out
For audio functionality, connect the audio input cable.
NOTE: Video flicker may occur when enabling/disenabling audio. This situation
normally only lasts for a second.

7
Power on IP Camera
onnect the power adapter to the power connector. The adapter should be
connected to 110v~22OV A socket. There is no power button on the camera, so
connecting/disconnecting the power adapter will start/shutdown the IP camera.
3.3 Initial Network Configuration
To configure 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
Using EtroScan™
EtroScan™ allows users to easily find an IP camera and configure the settings.
Select EtroScan™ from the start menu to start.

8
Press the Scan button to list the IP and MA 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.

9
To identify a specific IP camera, use the MA address which is located on the
bottom of the camera. Below is an example of the label displaying the MA
address.
Change Network Setting via EtroScan™
There are two ways to modify the network settings.
1. Double click on a specific 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 configuration.

10
Here a static IP address can be specified or the device can be changed to DH P.
A login is required to complete.
Enter ass for the root password.
3.4 Access IP Camera Web Interface
MS Internet Explorer is used to access and configure the IP camera. When
accessing an IP camera using the web interface for the first time (or when the IP
address changes), some configuration for ActiveX controls may be required.
These controls are necessary for proper operation of the web UI.
1. Open an IE browser
2. Type in the IP address of the IP camera.
At this point the browser will likely display pop-up windows and messages in
the browser border to download/active certain Active X controls.

11
lick Install or Run for any pop-up windows.
Near the top of the browser, there will likely be additional messages.
lick on the add-on message, and choose Run Add-on
Repeat the above until all ActiveX controls have been initiated. Once the process
is complete, the Live View will be displayed.

4 RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
If necessary (e.g. missing root password), the factory default settings can be restored.
1. Power on the camera
2. Wait for the camera to boot up (if there is some problem with the firmware which
prevents the camera from booting properly, then skip this step)
3. Press the factory default reset button for 3 seconds
4. The camera will then reboot with the factory default settings
NOTE: default factory settings will reapply the 192.168.1.2 IP address, and the root
password will be ass.
