Troubleshooting
e green LED 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 green LED goes on and o every x seconds
Your camera is continously restarting - probably 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 and are sold separately.
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 nor-
mal patch cable. Most modern computers network interfaces support the automatic
switching 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 to experienced users. Please
refer to our online documentation on www.faq.instar.de.

Please start the setup wizard from the CD and install the INSTAR Camera Tool
linked on the CD for Windows, LINUX or MacOS. (You can nd documentations
for the use of other IP scanners on www.faq.instar.de)
Please start the INSTAR Camera Tool.
e camera tool will automatically nd all INSTAR IP cameras in your network
and will show their IP address.
In case your camera isn’t found right away please wait 10 to 15 seconds for your
routers DHCP service to assign an IP address to your camera.
You can start the online setup wizard manually from the includ-
ed Installation.htm le on the CD or download the tool directly
from www.download.instar.de. Alternatively simply check your
router log le for a new DHCP address to avoid in-
stalling additional soware. Your camera will send a
request for an IP address once connected to the rout-
er via LAN cable and your router will list the camera
as a new device.

To check the IP address of your Windows computer and your network parameters
please do the following:
1. Click on [START] -> and type in „cmd” into the search eld.
2. In the window that pops up please type „ipcong”.
3. Now the IP address and the subnet mask will be shown.
In case your camera isn’t automatically assigned an IP address, the camera will be
shown inside a wrong IP address space. A double click on the camera’s IP will then
open the IP / Network conguration window (see below) allowing to manually assign
an address.
Please set the following information according to your network:
- IP Address (for example 192.168.x.x)
- Subnet Mask (for example 255.255.255.0)
- Gateway (IP Address of your router; for example 192.168.x.1)
- DNS Server (IP Address of your router; for example 192.168.x.1)
- Http Port (TCP Port; for example 80)
In case the INSTAR Camera Tool doesn’t nd your INSTAR IP camera please make
sure that both status LEDs on the LAN connector are active - the green LED should be
continuously on indicating a hardware link and the orange LED should ash irregularly
showing network communication.(see page 7).

How to setup your Camera without a router:
If you want to connect your camera directly to your computer, please set a xed IP
address for the network interface in your computer, as well as for the IP camera. You
can set the camera IP by using the INSTAR Camera Tool. As for Gateway and DNS
server please ll in the computer IP. Aer submitting the settings to the camera please
wait a moment until the camera has restarted. For a detailed instruction please refer to
our FAQ section on www.faq.instar.de.
EXAMPLE:
If your computer’s IP address is “192.168.178.10” then please give your camera an
IP like this “192.168.178.110”. For Subnet mask, Gateway and DNS Server please
use the same settings as for your computer (s. above). If your computer has the IP
“192.168.178.10” then the Gateway and DNS should be “192.168.178.1” and the sub
netmask is “255.255.255.0”.
For the rst installation of the camera please log in
with the following username and password:
Aer the login (Internet Explorer) you will be asked to install the ActiveX control

5.2 NETWORK
l
5.2.2 NETWORK/WiFi
To integrate the camera into you local WiFi
network, please click the Search button
2 times to start the WiFi scanner. Choose
your own network and click on its name.
Now you simply have to add the WiFi pass-
word (Share Key) and click submit to save the settings. Please wait for the camera to
reboot - then disconnect the LAN cable. e camera will automatically - within max.
5 minutes - connect to your WiFi network. e camera’s WiFi module might receive a
new address from your router - if you didn’t assign a static IP address to your camera
yet (s. 5.2.1). You might have to use the INSTAR Camera Tool again to rediscover your
camera (s. 4). Your camera is now connected via WiFi!
Additional Remark:
Your camera supports a range of encryption standards - we recommend for your 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.
Attention:
Your WiFi modules MAC address is not identical with the LAN MAC address of your
camera! In case you are using a MAC ltering rule for your WiFi network please deac-
tivate the lter and add your camera to the list of trusted devices before reactivating it.
Please refer to your routers manual for further instructions.
5.2.1 NETWORK/IP CONFIGURATION
You can set whether the camera will be as-
signed an IP address by your router (DHCP)
or if you want to set a xed address manual-
ly. Please check page 9 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 camera.

14
In case you want to use an account from DynDNS.org or NoIP simply choose the third
party service and type in your personal login credentials. By doing so you will tempo-
rarily deactivate your INSTAR DDNS address.
In case 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.
EXAMPLE Portforwarding - Netgear:
Please refer to our online help www.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 forwarding rule (s.
next page) in your router. You can access
your camera aerwards through the internet using this http address.
Please visit our online FAQ section on www.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.

5.3 DISPLAY
l
5.2.4 NETWORK/UPnP
If you are using Universal Plug and Play for
your network devices. Please activate the
UPnP service in your camera. In case you
are using a manual port forwarding rule in
your router to access your camera from the internet, make sure the camera’s UPnP ser-
vice is deactivated! We recommend setting up a manual port forwarding.
5.2.5 NETWORK/ADSL
You can use the ADSL function to use the
camera directly plugged into a ADSL mo-
dem instead of a network router. Simply use
the login from your internet service provid-
er.

5.5 ALARM
l
5.5.1 ALARM/ALARM
Here you can adjust the camera’s behaviour
in case of a motion alert trigger event. Once
the motion detection is activated, its sensi-
tivity can be adjusted from very insensitive
(value=0) to very sensitive (value=10).
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 case the camera’s position is prone to rapid light
changes, e.g. changes in sun intensity due to cloud movements, you might be confronted
with a high number of false alarms.

Plug & Play - PIR Motion Detector
IN-Motion 300 - the passive infrared detector es-
pecially designed for your INSTAR camera. e
simplest way to avoid false alerts by changes in
light conditions.
All components needed for the installation are al-
ready included in the delivery !
Additional accessories, like the IN-Motion 300, can be found in the accessories of your camera on www.instar.de and are not part of the scope of
the delievery.
You can use the Scheduler to automatically activate the alarm in desired time intervals.
Every blue box set inside the scheduler represents a 15 minutes time window in which
the alarm function is active.
Be aware that the internal camera time is used for the scheduler. Please make sure that
the camera’s timezone is set correctly and the daylight saving time function is activated
if indicated (s. 5.4.3).
To solve this problem you can attach an external motion detector (IN-Motion 300; s.be-
low) to the I/O relay of the camera. Please check “Activate External Input” to start using
the external sensor and set the trigger level according to your devices demands. Please
only activate the external input if an external sensor is connected - since you might re-
ceive false alerts otherwise.
