the external power
supply. Then, plug the
adapter into an available
outlet. Please check to see
that the orange “Ready”
LED located next to the
lens of the camera is lit to
ensure that the camera is
powered on. (To ensure
that there is a network
connection, please check
to see that the green
“Link/Activity” LED is lit
or flashing.)

Utilities CD into your CD-ROM Drive. When the main page
loads, click on Quick Setup Wizard.

2 The Setup Wizard will search for similar cameras available on
your local area network. A “similar” camera will have the same
code of four letters at the beginning of its serial number. This
code is “HEMT” and can be found on either the right or left
panel of the box, or on the label on the bottom of the camera.
10

Each available camera will be displayed in the camera list
with its MAC address, current default IP address, and model
number. (NOTE: The Setup Wizard may display an IP
address for the camera that is already consistent with your
network [LAN] settings, rather than the default one.) In the
camera list, click on the camera you would like to configure so
that it is highlighted blue, and then click Next. (If you are
unsure about which camera you would like to configure, you
can compare its MAC address displayed in the camera list to
the one printed on the label on the underside of the camera.)
NOTE: If the camera list does not display any available
cameras, you should:
a. Click on the “Rescan Camera” button, and
b. Make sure that all available similar network cameras are
connected properly to the network.
If neither option above is successful, you can also perform a
factory default reset by holding down the “Reset” button on
the back panel of the camera for at least five seconds. Then,
allow about 45 seconds to one minute for the camera to
complete the reboot process. This should easily resolve the
issue.

3Next, the login username and password screen will appear.
Please type in the default login and password and then press
“OK”. The default values are:
Login: admin
Password: 1234
If you have already set a username and password, enter them
and press “OK”.

4The Setup Wizard will try to determine your network
settings. If a DHCP server is present on your network, the
Wizard will obtain your network settings and automatically
configure your network camera to operate on your LAN by
returning network settings that are consistent with your
network.
If no DHCP server is present, the Wizard will poll your PC’s
internal network settings and suggest an appropriate static IP
address in the “Manual IP” section to assign to the network
camera. If you do not wish to use the suggested IP address,
you may change your IP settings in the “Manual IP” section
only.
NOTE: Typically, your Gateway address is the IP address of
your network’s router or Internet gateway. The Wizard will
try and automatically fill in this address for you based on your
PC’s current settings.
Please click Next once your computer has found the
appropriate IP settings.
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with how to manually set an IP
address, a detailed example is provided at the end of this section.

5To protect your camera from unauthorized access and use,
you will need to change the Admin Password, which is
“1234” by default. The password can have a maximum of
four characters. Confirm the new password by typing it again
identically in the “Reconfirm” field.
Click Next once you have confirmed your new password.

6The following status page will appear. It will display a
summary of the changes you have made to the network
camera’s settings. If all the settings are correct, click Next to
continue.

7The setup process has now been completed. Please briefly
review the text on the page before clicking on Reboot. After
clicking Reboot, the Setup Wizard will close. Please allow about
45 seconds to one minute for the camera to reboot. After the
camera has finished rebooting, you can type in its new IP address
in your web browser to begin accessing the camera.

Example on How to Set the IP Address Manually
The example shown here illustrates how to manually set an IP
address using the Windows XP operating system. However, the
procedure is similar for all other versions of Windows.
When setting an IP address, you must make sure that the address
you specify has the same first three octets (or segments) as the
other devices on your LAN. In the figures on the previous pages,
the camera has the following IP address: 10.1.1.144. The address
is comprised of four segments separated by periods. Each
segment is called an “octet”. All devices on your LAN must have
the same first three octets, in this case “10.1.1”. Therefore, all
devices on your LAN must have IP addresses of the form
“10.1.1.x”, where “x” is a number between 0 and 254. When
setting the IP address for the network camera, it is recommended
(but not required) that you choose a number towards the end of
the range between 0 and 254, excluding 254 itself. (Occasionally,
the number 254 is used as the final segment for the default IP
address of other devices.) Selecting a number towards the end of
the range (preferably between 200 and 250) will help avoid
conflicts with IP addresses that are already being used by other
devices on the LAN.
To determine the common octets/segments for your LAN
settings, follow the steps outlined in the next two pages.
