Introduction
The NL621 Network Camera delivers superior H.264-AVC performance, state of the art design and
function. NL621 is specifically adapted for maximum performance indoor applications, such as
commercial, banking, government buildings, schools, universities and airports.
H.264-AVC video compression can lower bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising
image quality; Motion JPEG is supported for increased flexibility, as well as multiple independent video
streaming.
NL621 value-added features include; on-board video motion detection, and two-way audio. NL621E, the
PoE available, full PoE (IEEE-802.3af) feature supplies power to the camera via the network, eliminating
the need for power cables, reducing installation costs and complexity. Consequently, NL621 is “Best in
Class” for maximum performance IP video surveillance systems, demanding superior image quality, ease
of installation, and intelligent video capabilities.

2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the NL621 from the Web site. The
software will be taken from the Software Package CD.
IP Installer
The IP Installer is used to locate and configure network cameras and video servers on the LAN. This
utility is useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the device, or for finding a device
once the network settings have been modified.
To install the IP Installer, from the Software Package CD UI, select IP installer, then follow the on screen
instructions.
XVID Codec
An H.264 codec is applied for displaying the video stream and playing the recoded AVI files. If the video
stream can’t be displayed or the recorded AVI files can’t be play on PC, install this software from the
Software Package CD.
VLC
Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser.

3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network
settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple
devices simultaneously using the batch setting function.
Preparation before IP Assignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to
avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the NL621 is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the
device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any NL621 in the LAN except those that are behind
a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based
user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information about
subnets, please consult your network administrator.
Using IP Installer to Assign an IP Address to NL621
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click the IP Installer icon on the
desktop
2. Click the [Device Search] to search the device in the LAN.
