2.3. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the PD636 from the Web site.
The software will be taken 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, select IP installer, then follow the on
instructions to complete the installation.
XVID Codec
An H.264 codec is applied for displaying the video stream and playing the recoded AVI files. If the
video stream can’t be displayed or the recorded AVI files can’t be play on PC, install this software
from the Software Package CD.
VLC
Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser.

4. 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.
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 PD636 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 PD636 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 PD636
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click to run the software.
