1.2 Main Features and Benefits
Convenient Operation
The Network IP Camera does NOT need any additional software or interaction with any other server.
The only software needed is a common web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or above.
Open Standards
The Network IP Camera supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet-related
protocols; the Network IP Camera can be used in a mixed operating system environment with
Windows, Unix, Mac and OS/2. It integrates easily into other www/Intranet applications and CGI
scripts.
Simple Administration
Using a standard web browser, you can configure and manage the Network IP Camera directly from its
own embedded web pages. The embedded operating system is upgradeable through the network;
please check with your local INTELLINET ACTIVE NETWORKING dealer for firmware upgrades.
External Devices
The auxiliary Input/Output Connector on the camera allows you to connect your Network IP Camera
to a variety of external devices; such as IR-sensors, switches, and alarm relays.
Security
Your Network IP Camera includes a self-contained web server, which means that digital images can be
secured like any other Internet host. Your Network Administrator, using the unit’s security settings in
combination with an organization’s Internet firewall, normally implements data protection. The
Administrator can decide whether individuals, groups, or the whole world may access the camera. The
Network IP Camera supports multi-user password protection
Compression and Performance
With an adaptive frame rate dependent on the image and lighting conditions, the Network IP Camera
delivers JPEG images at up to 30 images per second.
Software
IP installer – for quick installation
Multi-Viewer for viewing 4 cameras
7
PDA Viewer – for viewing the camera on Windows CE PDA devices.

4 Assigning IP Address & Accessing Network IP Camera’s
Homepage
4.1 Assigning IP Address
To access the Network IP Camera, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.
Please install the IP address installation program (IP Installer.exe) on a PC that is connected to
the same local network as the Network IP Camera.
12
Important
•Please use the newly assigned IP address, do NOT use any occupied IP address or the
default or example IP address.
•It is highly recommended that you assign an IP address before placing the Network I
P
Camera in a remote place or remote network.
•Network IP Address:
A network IP address is an identification code for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network.
N
etworks using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destinations
within a closed
N
etwork. IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However,
connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered, public IP address to avoi
d
duplicates.
IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.
•MAC (Ethernet) Address (Media Access Control Address)
MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each device of a
network.
The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network
unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each Network IP
media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of Network IP Camera is a 12-digit
number. A
Camera.

4.2.2 Using IP Installer
To install an IP address, you should use the IP Installer provided with Network IP Camera.
You can download its program through the web site (http://intellinet-network.com)
a) a)ExecutetheIPInstalleraftertheNetwork
b) IPCameracompletesitsbooting(wait
c) until the operating LED blinks every
second).
b) When the IP Installer is executed, the
panel shows every Network IP Camera
connected on the local network.
From the Network IP Cameras listed,
select one to assign a new IP address
(every Network IP Camera has a factory
default IP address). Note: The MAC
Address can be found on the underside
label of the Network IP Camera.
To choose a Network IP Camera, click on
its list.
Enter the Administrator ID and Password in the blank (Default Administrator ID and Password are all
“admin”) to assign (or change) IP Address for the Network IP Camera and set up.
Enter the IP address, Gateway address, Subnet Mask address, DNS Server address and Server IP
address that are assigned from network administrator. (When the addresses are not assigned properly,
you cannot access the Network IP Camera).
The Server IP Address represents an IP address of a PC, which is being used to execute the upgrade
program when updating the Network IP Camera (please refer to Section E - Updating Firmware).
After entering all addresses for the Network IP Camera, click the “Change Network Configurations”

NOTE
After changing Network Configuration, It will take a little time to reboot the Network I
P
Camera so that you may access the Network IP Camera’s Homepage.

4.3 Assigning IP Address by using Hyper Terminal
You can assign an IP address by using Hyper Terminal. In this case, you should configure Hyper
Terminal first
4.3.1 Configuring Hyper Terminal
Hyper Terminal is a basic program for Windows 9x/NT/2000. A PC can communicate with external
devices through the serial port by using this program. The steps you should take to set the Hyper
Terminal are as follows in the case of Windows 2000 OS:
①Start  Programs  Accessories 
Communications  Hyper Terminal. Select
one of the icons and then enter an appropriate
name in the box.
②Select a serial port of PC, then click “OK”
button. (Usually COM1 or COM2 is
recommended)
16

NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
③Configure bit/sec as 19200 and leave other settings
at the default values.
④The panel shows up like thus image when
configured properly. (If it doesn’t, please try
again from beginning)

4.3.2 Assigning IP Address
Follow these steps to assign an IP address using Hyper Terminal
①Execute “Hyper Terminal” on your PC
②Connect RS232 Cable to the serial port of PC that you have selected in Chapter 4.3.1 -
Configuring Hyper Terminal and the Network IP Camera serial port while Hyper Terminal is
executed.
③Supply power to the Network IP Camera.
④A count down will start with the message “Press any key to stop auto-boot.”
⑤Press any key and then “Boot” Prompt shall appear as below.
⑥You can see Network Configuration while [Boot] Prompt is running by pressing ‘p’ key again.

NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
Here, inet on ethernet (e), host inet (h) and gateway inet (g) values are network configuration values.
You should change these values in most case. If you don’t know what value you should assign, refer to
the network administrator.
Inet on ethernet (e) is IP address and subnet mask address of Network IP Camera. IP address and
subnet mask addresses are separated by colon (:). For example, IP address is represented by decimal
numbers delimited by dot (.) like ‘192.168.1.27’. Hexadecimal numbers like ‘ffffff00’ in the case of
‘255.255.255.0’ represents subnet mask address. Note that the numbers of subnet mask value are not
delimited by dot. See the example in the above picture.
Host inet (h) is the address to which Network IP Camera tries to connect to upgrade its firmware
program in flash memory. Network IP Camera first search this host on the network on booting
sequence. For more information on Network IP Camera upgrade, refer to “E. Updating Network IP
Camera’s Newly upgraded Program”.
Gateway inet (g) is the gateway address of Network Camera
19
⑦Type ‘c’ key to change the network configuration in [Boot] prompt. If you type ‘c’ key,
Network IP Camera shows you the information you can change its values and the current
assigned values. You can change as the following figure.

NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide
⑧When you terminate hyper-terminal program after you changed network configuration,
hyper-terminal program asks you whether you save the session. If you save the session, you
can re-use the hyper-terminal. To re-use the session you saved, click Start --> Programs -->
Accessories --> Communications --> HyperTerminal --> Network IP Camera.. ht in the case
of Windows 2000.
