2. GETTING STARTED
2.1. Connecting the device
A. INDOOR IP CAMERA
•Take the mrSafe outdoor IP camera out of the box. Attach the wifi antenna (8).
•Connect the power charger (10).
•Plug the network cable (9) into the cable jack and connect the other end of the cable into your router. The
network light will turn on.
NOTE: If there is no light, please unplug the power cable and the network cable. Check if your router is OK and re-
plug both cables.
B. OUTDOOR IP CAMERA
The mrSafe Outdoor IP camera has many connections. When the mrSafe camera can be installed within the range
of your Internet modem, you only need to provide a power supply. We recommend to first configure the camera
close to your computer, and do a test close to the location where it was installed. If the wifi will continue stable
for one day, the wifi range seems to be sufficient.

Example of an installation:
•Take the mrSafe outdoor IP camera out of the box. Attach the WiFi antenna (9) and the bracket (10).
•We use a cable box which is available for a few euros at the hardware store.
•The grommets or glands are placed around the cables. You may need to cut the grommet around the camera
cable. If so, it needs to be sealed again later. There are 2 connections open at the bottom of the cable box.
•The cables are introduced into the box, and positioned so there isn’t any tension on the connection or the
cable. If you need to cut the box to enter the camera cable, this must be subsequently sealed.
•The power cable of the adapter will be temporarily removed from the terminal box.
•The camera can be fixed to the desired location.

•A hole of about 10 mm will be drilled through the wall. The round plug of the power cable will be taken from
the inside to the outside. The cable box is placed close to the power cable. The round plug will be attached to
the camera cable inside the cable box.
•The hole in the wall, the grommets or cable glands and possible cuts in the cable box should be sealed so that
everything is water resistant.
•If you want, you can fix the cable as well. The adapter will now be plugged into a wall socket and the installation
will work.

2.2. Software installation
Download the software from www.mrsafe.eu and begin the software installation.
Drag and drop the MrSafe software to the “Applications” folder to start the installation.
Note: Since you have downloaded the software from the mrSafe website, your Mac may warn you with a pop-up
message that installation was not allowed. In this case you need to change the Security & Privacy settings in your
System Preferences .
The system will automatically save the software in your Finder, under ‘Programs’.
The progress of the installation will be shown. This can take a few minutes. When the installation is finished the
software will automatically open on your screen.

3. TERMINOLOGY
LAN: Local Area Network:Your home network, which includes your internet modem and all the equipment in the
house that is connected to the network via cable or Wifi.
WAN:Wide Area Network:The internet, if you have an Internet connection at home or anywhere else.
Resolution: The quality and sharpness of the images. The resolution is expressed in pixels horizontal x vertical. The
higher the resolution the better the image quality of the IP camera.
Stream (Bitrate): The number of bits (transmission of information) that can be sent or received per unit of time via a
network connection. A bit is the smallest amount of information. The higher the bitrate, the more information per
unit of time will be send or received.
Framerate: The number of frames per second being imaged.
4. WIFI SETTINGS
Click the “mrSafe” icon in your Finder to start the program.
Make sure that the IP camera is connected to your LAN with the network cable. The IP camera will now automatically
be found in your local LAN area.
7

Press CTRL-button and simultaneously click on the IP camera in the LAN list and choose “Configuring network”.
Click the “Wifi” tab and press “Scan”. The system is now going to search for local Wifi connections. When the scan is
finished please select your local Wifi in the “Network name (SSID)” box. Type your network password and click “OK”.
After confirming, the IP camera will automatically restart. This can take a few minutes. The camera is now connected
with Wifi. That means that you can unplug the network cable after the Wifi connection is tested and move the camera
to another location within the Wifi range.

5. LAN CAMERA
All the cameras that are online in your local network (LAN) will be displayed in the LAN list.
5.1. LAN Camera browsing
Go to the LAN list and select the camera you want to see. The program is now going to make contact with your IP
camera. This can take a few seconds.
When the image appears, the camera is ready to operate.
If the image is not completely clear /sharp, you can turn the lens focusing ring till the image appears sharp.
If you want to control the camera and change the viewing angle you can use the control panel. (for more information
go to chapter “6.2 Control Panel”).
