electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and G
(Ground) connectors.
G (Ground): Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G
(Ground) connector.
AO (Alarm Out): The network camera can activate external devices such as buzzers
or lights. Connect the
device to the AO (Alarm Out) and G (Ground) connectors.

3.2 Access from the internet
Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the network
camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow
incoming data traffic to the
network camera. To do this, enable the NAT traversal feature,
which will attempt to automatically configure
11

the router to allow access to the network cam-
era. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.
For more information, refer to section “System>Network>NAT” of the User manual.
3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure connection
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user must be set. This is done in
the “Admin Password” dialog, which is displayed when the network camera
is accessed for the setup at the
first time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the
administrator.
NOTE: The default administrator user name and password is “ADMIN” and the password is “1234”. If the
password is
lost, the network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See section “Resetting to
the factory default settings” for more details
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via
an encrypted
HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see NOTE b e l o w ) .
To set the password via a standard
HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown
below. To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS
connection, see section “System
> Security > HTTPS” of User Manual.
NOTE: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the
traffic between web
browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted
exchange of information.
