source of heat. Sun shielding recommended.
• Don’t submerge the camera into water; don’t install the camera upside down
• Avoid exposing the camera to violent movement or vibration.
• Must use proper “Relay” that will match with alarm output devices (High power spot light,
motors), never connect alarm output load > 0.5A directly to camera alarm out.
• Please use power adapter equipped with the camera, foreign power adapter with wrong
voltage may permanent damage your camera.
• Clean the glass dome bubble frequently to ensure good clear view, remove the snow and
ice accumulated outside and inside of class window shield, keep camera inside dry by hot

Chapter 5 INSTALLATION
5.1 CONNECT to PC or LAN
CAUTION:
Please use the DC power adapter that is provided with the camera.
Connecting camera to other power source will cause permanent damage
to the camera.
NOTE:
Please use straight Ethernet cable (CAT. 5e) to connect camera to your home/ office
network switch/ hub or a broadband router.
For Wi-Fi models, you will still need to connect camera to your PC by Ethernet cable at
first time installation, correct SSID, WEP/ WPA password & IP address must be set
before you can connect the camera wirelessly (See more in section 6.8 Network
Settings).
You will see two IP address by camera search software utility, if you didn’t remove the
Ethernet cable before the camera wireless connection.

Click “Search Camera” on Utility CD auto-play menu*, will find all the Clairvoyant IP cameras in
your local network.
* To use SearchNVS software to search and modify network parameters (IP address, Subnet
mask, Gateway etc.).
NOTE:
A: Find the SearchNVS.exe in 【tool software】folder of Utility CD and copy it to PC.
B: Install the Central Management software first, follow below steps to find the SearchNVS:
【Start】---【all programs】--- 【NVS Center500】---【Search NVS】.
The factory default settings of the IP Camera are as follows
IP:192.168.55.160; Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
User name: admin; Password: admin
Run the SearchNVS software to search and modify IP Camera network parameters.
SearchNVS use multicast protocol to find Clairvoyant IP cameras; most firewalls forbid the
multicast data packets. So please close the firewall first or enable/ allow SearchNVS to use
multicast protocol.
Click on【Search】button to start search IP Cameras as illustrated below:
【Local IP 】Display the local PC IP. If your PC has multiple NICs or multi-addressed local IP,
please select an IP address to connect NVS.
In the above Search NVS software interface, it shows this computer has searched all IP
Cameras in LAN. If there are many IP cameras in your LAN, you can distinguish which
camera is yours by the Device Name based on the unique device ID. The Device Name
was named in the factory as “DVS+ID number”.
Note:
Please make sure there is DHCP server available, or set your PC IP address
manually. Your PC won’t “ObtainanIP addressautomatically” without DHCP connected.
SearchNVS won’t work on a PC without IP address.
Please select the correct Network Interface Card (that connected to cameras) IP address
for “LocalIP” if you have multiple Network Interface Cards installed in your PC.
Set IP address for IP camera.
Your computer IP address must be “in the same subnet” of IP Camera in order to visit
IP camera. So we need to set the IP address of the IP camera before accessing
camera.
To get your PC IP configuration information: go to command mode by click 【Start】
【Run】”, then input “command” or “cmd”(Windows 2000/XP system).click “ok”:

Type “ipconfig” at command prompt”, press “Enter” button, you will get your PC
Network Interface Card IPaddress/Subnetmask/ Gateway information.

H.264MP-PTZ RTSP Streaming User’s Manual
18
Please remember the IPAddress，SubnetMask,DefaultGateway，then setup the IP Camera
IP address according to your PC IP address to ensure computer & IP Camera IP
addresses are “in the samesubnet” .
For example : Set IP Camera IP addresses to 192.168.1.100. Default Gateway & Subnet
Mask same as PC.
Click 【Set】to set “Network Parameter”as illustrated below:
Modify relative Network Parameters; click “OK”, then the IP camera will reboot.
Test the IP camera connection: go to command mode by click 【Start】---【Run】”, then
input “command” or “cmd” (Windows 2000/XP system).click “ok”,
Type “ping 192.168.1.100” at command prompt,press “Enter” button, you will get following
information:
The message shown on above indicates the IP Camera is functioning normally and connects to

same subnet (LAN) correctly. If the screen displays other information, please confirm the IP
address settings and check the network cables again.
Warning:
Please consult your office network administrator to get a free IP for your
IP Camera; duplicated IP address will cause undesired problems.
CAUTION:
Please always write down the password and keep password in safe place.
Please kindly notice, if you forget password you set, you will have to
return the camera to manufacturer for recovery, there is no way to reset
password of your camera.

5.2 CONNECT to WAN
Connect IP Camera to your broadband
router or NAT gateway.
Do the following setup:
1.Setup Virtual Server/ forward port on
your router to camera,
2.or set your Camera IP to router DMZ
3.Obtain DDNS service from mvDDNS if
you don’t have fixed public IP,
4.Setup DDNS account information to
your camera
5.Access camera URL through Internet.
Example:
http://your_camera.myddns.net:port
Please reference more details of Router
& mvDDNS setup on Reference User’s
Manual.
Note:
Clairvoyant IP cameras/ Video servers support PPPoE auto-dial-up, that you can connect
your camera directly to an ADSL modem; please remember to setup DDNS and email
parameters before you enable PPPoE function.
It's impossible to access “LANIP” from Internet; IP started with 192.168.xxx.xxx is LANIP.
LANIP sometime called illegal IP, only legal “PublicIP” can be accessed through Internet.
It’s not possible to access your LANIP through Internet or you will be in big security threat,
Hackers can access your bank account information and secrets stored in your LAN PC
You will need to connect IP camera Internet before you can access from remote through
Internet, there shall be a “Gateway” connect your office network (LAN) to Internet (WAN),
usually it is a broadband router, you will need to change settings of your broadband router to
enable the accesses from Internet to your camera.
Connect IP camera Internet:
1. Port Forwarding: forward port 80 & 5000 (default web & data port, see your router manual
or Appendix 4 FAQ)
2. Set DNS & Gateway settings of your camera
3. Register a ne w DDNS account for DDNS Service, Set DDNS settings of your camera.
