How to install a GigE camera (Bigeye/Pearleye/Goldeye) V2.1.0

• The NIC (Network Interface Card) of the PC must be Gigabit Ethernet

(1000Base-T) compatible.

• To maximize hardware performance, devices that offer jumbo packet sup-

port (8 kB MTU size) are recommended.

• For best performance all network devices including cameras, PCs and

switches should support the packet size output by the camera.

• If using Windows XP make sure that the Microsoft Hotfix KB926255 is

installed.

• After the first functional test of the camera you can try to re-enable

Firewalls and antivirus solutions step by step: see Chapter Adjusting

firewall settings on page 38.

• If your PC/notebook has more than one network port, it is recommended

to use one port for normal LAN traffic and the second port only for camera

traffic.
