Camera Connecting Guide
For initial setup, you need to connect the IP Camera directly to your router, switch or computer via a network cable. You
cannot connect wirelessly to the camera without first setting it up via a network cable.
You should connect the Camera into your internet router (normally supplied by your broadband provider), a switch box
or hub (that is connected to your computers network) or directly to your computer (gives limited viewing options, so this
is not recommended).
Connection via a Router/Switch
1. Using the standard Ethernet network cable, plug this in to the network connection socket on the IP Camera at one end,
and plug the other end in to a spare port on your router/switch.
2. Using the Power Adaptor (supplied), plug one end in to the Power Connection socket on the IP Camera. Plug the other
end in to an electrical socket and turn the power on.
3. The Connectivity Status indicator on the front of the camera will light up. Your router/switch will then begin to
communicate with the camera.
Connection directly to a computer
Choose this connection for testing the IP Camera to avoid any interference from other equipment, please refer to
Chapter Connected Directly to a Computer for details.
