Introduction
PiXORD P600 Series Network Camera delivers superior H.264-AVC performance, state of the art design and
function. P600 Series is specifically adapted for maximum performance indoor applications, such as commercial,
banking, government buildings, schools, universities and airports.
H.264-AVC video compression can lower bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image
quality; Motion JPEG is supported for increased flexibility, as well as multiple independent video streaming.
P600 Series value-added features include; on-board video motion detection, SD slot for storage recording, and
two-way audio. P600E, the PoE model, is available with full PoE (IEEE-802.3af) feature that supplies function of
power to the camera via the network, eliminating the need for power cables, reducing installation costs and
complexity. Consequently, P600 Series is “Best in Class” for maximum performance IP video surveillance
systems, demanding superior image quality, ease of installation, and intelligent video capabilities.

Installation
1. Hardware Connection

2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the P600 from the Web site. The
software will be available from the Software Package CD.
IP Installer
The IP Installer is used to locate and configure network cameras and video servers on the LAN. This utility is
useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the device, or for finding a device once the network
settings have been modified. To install the IP Installer, from the Software Package CD UI, select IP installer,
then follow the on screen instructions.
VLC
Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser.

3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network
settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices
simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network settings for all
devices as a backup and restore them when necessary. NOTE: Default mode for P600 is DHCP.
Preparation before IP Assignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to avoid
using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the P600 is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the device
as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any P600 on the LAN except those that are behind a
router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user
interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information about subnets, please
consult your network administrator.
Using IP Installer to Assign an IP Address to P600
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click the IP Installer icon on the desktop,
or select it from Start > Programs > Pixord > Device Search > IP Installer.
2. Click the menu bar Tool > Search Network Device to search the device in the LAN.
*0004290000

3. From the list, select the device with the MAC Address that corresponds to the P600 that is to be configured.
The MAC Address is identical to the unit’s S/N (Serial Number).
4. Double click the item to open the Property Page for the selected device or click the menu bar View > Property.
5. After filling in the properties, click [Set] button to complete the configuration settings in the remote device
while saving configuration in the PC.
Open the Web-based UI of the selected camera
1. To access the Web-based UI of the selected unit, run the View > Open Web on the menu bar.
2. If the device has been configured correctly, the default Web browser will open to the home page of the
selected device.
3. If you find your browser is opened and automatically connected to the camera Home Page, it means you’ve
assigned an IPAddress to the unit successfully. Now you can close the IP Installer and start using your

9
camera.
Verify and Complete the Installation from Your Browser
When browsing the Home Page for the first time with the Microsoft Internet Explorer TM, you must temporarily lower
your security settings to perform a one-time-only installation of the ActiveX component onto your workstation, as
described below:
1. From the Tools menu, select [Internet Options]
2. Click the [Security] tab and then click [Custom Level] button to see your current security settings.
3. Set the security level to Low and click [OK].
4. Type the URL or IP address of your camera into the Address field.
5. A dialog box will pop up asking if the ActiveX control should be installed. Click [Yes] to start the installation.
Once the ActiveX installation is complete, return the security settings to their original value, as noted above.
