2. Introduction
This 1080p network camera is equipped with a mechanical (ICR) day/night switch, making it ideal for 24/7
surveillance over a network. It suits any application where maximum image quality and efficient bandwidth
usage is vital. At night and in low lighting conditions, its high sensitivity sensor ensures clear and noise free
images. Meanwhile, crisp images also consume less bandwidth and storage. It also comes with various
detection functions to keep you informed upon events. Other supported features include a micro SD/SDHC
card slot, video out and two-way audio.

3.4 Installing the Lens
Attach your lens onto the camera’s lens mounting ring.
•CS-Mount lens: Attach the lens to the camera directly.
•C-Mount lens: You must mount the supplied CS-C mount adapter ring first and then attach the C-
Mount lens.
If you are using an auto-iris lens, connect the auto-iris cable to the IRIS connector on the camera.
3.5 Mounting the Camera

4. Network Connection
4.1 Network Connection Types
There are many different ways that you can connect the camera to your network, depending on your
applications requirements. You should always set the camera’s network settings according to your network
configurations. The following diagrams depict some typical applications with guidelines on network settings.
For more information on network settings, always consult with your network administrator or ISP as
required.
Note: The LAN port of the camera supports auto MDI/MDIX (Medium dependent interface
crossover) so there is no need to use cross-over cable.
Type 1— Direct Connection to the Server or PC
Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet cable. To extend the connection length, you
should use a RJ-45 female/female coupler to connect two Ethernet cables together.
To access the camera, the PC must be on the same network as the camera. The default IP address of the
camera is a static one (192.168.1.30). Specify your PC’s IP address as 192.168.1. X (where X is a number
between 2 to 254, excluding 30 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0, to allow the server to directky access
the Server or PC
Type 2: Connecting Camera(s) to a Local Area Network (LAN)
To add the camera(s) to an existing LAN, just connect the camera(s) to the hub or switch on your net-
work. If you want to provide the camera power via the Ethernet connection, a PoE-enabled hub/switch is
required.
Assign an IP address to your camera following your network IP allocation policy. You can manually specify
the IP address or allocate the IP address automatically using a DHCP server, if available on your network.
This setup will enable monitoring and managing the camera via a web browser from a local PC or server.

4.2 Accessing the Camera for the First Time
The camera comes with a web-based setup utility, allowing you to view the video of the camera and
configure the camera for optimal use in your environment.
To access the camera’s web-based control utility, you need a PC that meets the following requirements:
•Operating System: Windows Vista® or XP
•Browser: Internet Explorer Version 6.0 or later
•CPU: Intel Pentium 4.2 GHz or higher
•RAM: 512 MB or more
Do the following to connect your PC to the camera:
Step 1: Make the connection
For initial setup purposes, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector of the camera and
the other end to the LAN port on your PC.
Step 2: Configure your PC’s IP address
The camera uses a default IP address of 192.168.1.30 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. To have your
PC on the same network with the camera, configure your PC’s IP settings as below:
•P address: 192.168.1. X, where X is a number between 2 to 254, excluding 30.
•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.
Ignore all other settings and click OK.
Step 3: Verify the connection between the PC and the IP Cam
1. Launch the Command Prompt by clicking the Start menu, Programs, Accessories and then Command
Prompt.
2. At the prompt window, type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the camera (the default is
192.168.1.30).
If a message starting with “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is established.
