2 USING THE EV3151 FOR THE FIRST TIME
2.1 Initial Requirements
Software Requirements
Installation and configuration require the following:
Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP Operating System
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or higher
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.
Install EtroStation™ 3.0
EtroStation™ 3.0 includes the EtroScan™ utility. EtroStation™ is on the product
CD that accompanies the EV3151. Please refer to the EtroStation™
documentation for installation instructions.
Download from Etrovision’s Website
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.

2.2 Physical IP Camera Connections
Connect to the Network
Connect the EV3151 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 CCTV to Video Server
Use the BNC Video In port to connect the camera with the EV3151.
Connect PTZ (EV3151 Only)
For PTZ functionality, connect the PTZ device to the EV3151 RS-485 PTZ port.
Properly align the wiring and terminals when connecting; an improper
connection can damage the camera.
Connect mini DIN (EV3151A Only)
For digital I/O and/or PTZ functionality, connect the corresponding devices
with the IP camera via the min DIN port.
Properly align the wiring and terminals when connecting; an improper
connection can damage the camera.
Connect Audio In/Out (EV3151A Only)
For audio functionality, connect the audio input cable.
Video flicker 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 Configuration
To configure the IP camera’s network settings use the EtroScan™ utility.

9
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.

10
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.

11
To identify a specific 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.
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.

12
After altering the IP camera network settings, click Apply. A prompt for the
administrator authentication will be displayed:
The default password for the administrator account (root) is pass. Enter the
default password and click OK to confirm 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 specific camera.
Press Exit to quit EtroScan™.
2.4 Access the 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, some
configuration 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

13
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.
Upon login, the error “ActiveX control failed to load (OCX)” may be encountered.
The error indicates the browser requires adding certain ActiveX controls for the
viewer to work.
Near the top of the browser page is a message regarding an add-on to run. The
request is highlighted below in blue.

14
Clicking on the add-on message will bring up options; choose Run Add-on to
add.
A confirmation message box will be displayed; choose Run.
Wait for the add-on to complete and the page to attempt reloading.
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.

15
3 ETROLINK™ CONFIGURATION PORT
The EtroLink™ USB Configuration Port provides an alternate method of
configuration.
The EtroLink™ USB Configuration allows configuration using a Quick Config
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 Config 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
Config Wizard.
3.2 Setup Using the EtroLink™ Config Port
The following discusses using the EtroLink™ Config Port using Windows XP.
With the exception of the automatic execution of the Quick Config Wizard, the
process is the same among all the Microsoft versions noted above.
A demonstration of how to manually start the Quick Config Wizard will be
provided at the end of this section.
Connecting the IP camera to the PC
1. Unplug the IP camera’s power cable and network cable
2. Connect EtroLink™ and PC via the mini USB cable.
3. Once the PC detects the IP camera, wait for a pop-up dialog prompting the user for a
program choice.
4. “Config Wizard” should already be highlighted; click OK.

16
The Quick Config login screen will be displayed.
Quick Config Login
Unless the password has already been modified, use the default administrator
login is:
ID: root
Password: pass
NOTE: restoring factory settings will restore default login password.
Click the Login button; the Status page will then be available.
