2.4 Preparation
When you installed the camera on a LAN environment, you may execute PLANET IP Installer to
discover camera’s IP address and set up related parameters in the camera.
2.4.1 Search and View by PLANET IP Installer
When you installed the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search your
Cameras by PALENT IP Installer or UPnP discovery. Here is the way to execute PLANTE IP
Installer to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.
Search
When launch the PLANET IP Installer, a searching window will pop up. PLANET IP Installer is
starting to search Network Cameras on the LAN. The existed devices will be listed as below.
11

2.4.2 Configure Network by PLANET IP Installer
In case you want to change the IP related parameters of PLANET IP Installer, please select the
device you want to configure and click the “Server Name“. Relative settings will be carried out as
below.
12

You could modify the relative settings of the selected device, when you set your IP address.
Please check ”Submit” button to perform your setting accordingly.
2.5 Using UPnP of Windows XP or Vista
2.5.1 Windows XP
UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP
enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, of your PC is UPnP enabled, the device will
be very easy to configure. Use the following steps to enable UPnP settings only if your operating
system of PC is running Windows XP.
NOTE: Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.
Go to Start > Settings, and Click Control Panel
The “Control Panel” will display on the screen and double click “Add or Remove Programs”to
continue
The “Add or Remove Programs” will display on the screen and click Add/Remove Widows
Components to continue.
13

The following screen will appear, select “Networking Services” and click “Details” to continue
14

The “Networking Services” will display on the screen, select “Universal Plug and Play” and click
“OK” to continue.
Please click “Next” to continue
15

The program will start installing the UPnP automatically. You will see the below pop-up screen,
please wait while Setup configures the components.
Please click “Finish” to complete the UPnP installation
16

Double-click “My Network Places” on the desktop, the “My Network Places” will display on the
screen and double-click the UPnP icon with Internet camera to view your device in an internet
browser.
2.5.2 Windows Vista
UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP
enabled device. If the operating system, Windows Vista, of your PC is UPnP enabled, the device
will be very easy to configure. Use the following steps to enable UPnP settings only if your
operating system of PC is running Windows Vista.

2.6 Install the Device behind a NAT Router
Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the Internet you
must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the device. If the device is
installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server.
However, if the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as
fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup.
However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal
automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically
configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera (default)
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled
in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of routers are default
enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting ÎNetwork ÎUPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this option
is default enabled.
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
Refer to Setting ÎSystem ÎSystem page for detail DIPS information

2.7 Setup ActiveX to use the Internet Camera
The Internet camera web pages communicate with the Internet camera using an ActiveX control.
The ActiveX control must be downloaded from the Internet camera and installed on your PC. Your
Internet Explorer security settings must allow for the web page to work correctly. To use the
Internet camera, user must setup his IE browser as follows:
2.7.1 Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP
From your IE browse ΔTools” ΔInternet Options…” ΔSecurity” ΔCustom Level…”, please
setup your “Settings” as follow.
Set the first 3 items
• Download the signed ActiveX controls
• Download the unsigned ActiveX controls
• Initialize and script the ActiveX controls not masked as safe to Prompt
By now, you have finished your entire PC configuration for Internet camera.
