Hardware
Connectivity
Software
Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to pass electrical power
safely through the unused lines 4,5,7,8 on the Ethernet cable. e IEEE standard for
PoE requires category 5 cable or higher for high power levels. e power comes from
a power supply within a PoE-enabled networking device such as an Ethernet switch or
power injectors that stand between a regular Ethernet switch and the powered device
(not included).
Due to the mandatory Ethernet cable connection all PoE cameras will be without wire-
less LAN (WiFi) support. All sections regarding wireless LAN are only eective for the
camera model IN-5907 HD (and not for the model IN-5907 HD PoE).

connect the camera to your network router for the initial
installation.

7-EN
Troubleshooting
e status LED of the LAN port isn’t on
Your camera doesn’t have a connection to your router because the LAN cable is dam-
aged, the connector is loose or your camera is connected to a wrong port on your router
or switch.
e status LED of the LAN port goes on and oevery x seconds
Your camera is continously restarting - possibly because of a loose contact. Please check
the power connector on the camera side. Turn the plug by 180 degrees in both direction
and check if the problem persists. Make sure the green status LED on the power supply
is on continuously.
Connect the camera using an IN-LAN® Adapter (optional)
Simply plug one IN-LAN adapter into a power socket next to your broadband router
and connect the adapter to your router via an Ethernet cable. Plug the second IN-LAN
unit into an outlet close to your INSTAR camera and connect the camera to the IN-LAN
adapter using the camera’s Ethernet cable.
IN-LAN 500/p
Powerline Adapter
IN-LAN uses the household pow-
er grid to transfer data between
computers equipped with suitable
Additional accessories, like the IN-LAN Adapter, can be found in the accessories of your camera model on www.instar.de.
adapters and other network components. As a result, any power outlet can be used as a
network access point. IN-LAN is an intelligent and secure technology that lets you set
up a home network easily via your household power grid - without the need of complex
and expensive dedicated cabling.
For a direct cable connection between camera and computer, please note:
e network cable provided with the camera is not a crossover cable. It is just a normal
patch cable. Most modern computers network interfaces support the automatic switch-
ing between crossover and normal patch cable - you can use the cable that came with the
camera to connect it directly. If you are using an older system to connect your camera
directly you might need a crossover network cable.
To set up the camera for the rst installation, we recommend to connect the camera
directly to your router. is router on the other side has to be connected with your com-
puter. Other ways of connections are only recommended for experienced users. Please
refer to our online documentation on http://faq.instar.de.

previously (Chapter. 5.2.1), therefore you should use the INSTAR Camera Tool again to
rediscover your camera (Chapter 4).
Attention:
Your WiFi modules MAC address is not identical with the LAN MAC address of your
camera! If you are using a MAC ltering rule for your WiFi network, please deactivate
the lter and add your camera to the list of trusted devices before reactivating it.
Additional Remark:
Your camera supports a range of encryption standards - we recommend for the safety
and reliability of your connection - that you set your WiFi network to WPA2 (PSK) with
AES (or CCMP). With older routers choose WPA (PSK) / AES. Avoid using a mixed
mode like WPA&WPA2 - TKIP! If your WiFi stays unstable please choose a xed WiFi
channel for your router - we recommend the channels 1 - 6.
5.2.2 NETWORK/WiFi (not applicable for PoE Model)
5.2.1 NETWORK/IP CONFIGURATION
You can set whether the camera will be assigned an IP
address by your router (DHCP) or you want to manually
set a xed address. Please check page 9 &10 on how to
set a xed IP address. In general, we recommend that you
deactivate the automatic service and set a manual IP to
avoid further trouble with the remote access to your cam-
era. For the RTSP Port please refer to 10. RTSP Streaming
for details on the use of the camera´s RTSP videostream.

14-EN
In case you want to use an account from DynDNS.org simply choose the third party
service and type in your personal login credentials. By doing so you will temporarily
deactivate your INSTAR DDNS address.
If you are using several cameras behind a single internet access point, please set up the
third party address in only one of the cameras. Or if possible directly inside your router!
All your cameras will be accessible through this address - just assign a unique HTTP
port to every camera (s. 5.2.1). For example if camera 1 is assigned the HTTP port 85
and camera 2 the HTTP port 86, use myaddress.dyndns.org:85 to reach camera 1 and
myaddresse.dyndns.org:86 to be forwarded to camera 2.(more details please see FAQ)
EXAMPLE Portforwarding - Netgear:
Please refer to our online help http://faq.instar.de for detailed instructions for all com-
men routers.
Your camera comes with a personal DDNS address -
e.g. http://xxxx77.ddns-instar.de. Everything you need
for a remote access to your camera is a port forward-
ing rule in your router. You can access your camera af-
terwards through the internet using this http address.
5.2.3 NETWORK/DDNS
Please refer to FAQ Chapter #13. 4) for port forwarding or visit our online FAQ section
on http://faq.instar.de for detailed information on the port forwarding setup as well as
video instruction for many common routers. Or refer to your router’s user manual for
further guidelines on how to set up a port forwarding rule.

5.2.5 NETWORK/UPnP
5.2.4 NETWORK/P2P (Point-to-Point)
If you are using Universal Plug and Play(UPnP) for
your network devices, please activate the UPnP ser-
vice in your camera. In case you are using a manu-
al port forwarding rule in your router to access your
camera from the internet, make sure the cameras
UPnP service is deactivated! We recommend setting
up a manual port forwarding.
Activate the P2P function to access your camera from
the internet without the need for a port forwarding
in your router (s. 5.2.3). Simply add the camera as a

Here you can adjust the image parameters brightness,
saturation, contrast, exposure (shutter) and sharpness.
You can ip and mirror the video image, can display a
timestamp and set a camera name and display it as well.
e displayed parameters are burnt into the camera im-
age. Please make sure to restart the camera aer chang-
ing the name.
5.5.1 ALARM/AREAS
Your camera detects motion by a picture analysis that is sensitive to every change inside
the video frame instead of employing an infrared or microwave sensor. In “Areas” you
can adjust up to 4 detection areas in size and sensitivity for trigger event. Once the mo-
tion detection in an area is activated, its sensitivity can be adjusted from very insensitive
(value=0) to very sensitive (value=100).
e MJPEG mode of the camera allows you to access the videostream with your browser
without the need of additional browser-plugins! You can use the MJPEG mode when
you are accessing the camera from a system that doesn’t allow you to install the ActiveX
control element or the QuickTime plugin for Firefox, Chrome or Safari. Please consider
that this mode is only for viewing the live image of your camera. Even with only one user
logged in your cameras framerate might drop below 4 fps because of the high bandwidth
requirements!
