User's Manual

Install the software through the Internet browser of OS to conveniently operate the network
from a remote location. This device supports C/S, B/S, and access in LAN and WAN. It also
supports IP and domain name visiting.
IMPORTANT! SOFTWARE RECOMMENDATIONS:
To ensure reliable remote viewing of IPdoor footage, it is highly recommended that users have
either Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8 installed on their computers, and that they use
either Internet Explorer 6.0, Internet Explorer 7.0, Internet Explorer 8.0, Internet Explorer 9.0
Internet Explorer 10.0, Internet Explorer 11.0, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome as their
Internet browser. (In the appendix, there is an explanation of how to access the IP outdoor
camera using Firefox or Google Chrome.)
Prior to setting up remote access, set the network security level by following the following
instructions:
(1) Open the Internet Explorer browser and click the “Tools” tab located in the bar at the top
of the browser; from the drop-down menu, select “Internet Options”.
(2) Click the “Security” tab in the dialogue box.
(3) Click “Custom level” (at the bottom of the dialogue box) to set the security level.
Note: Suggested that to run Internet Explorer browser as Administrator on operation
system such as Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 except Window
XP.

5.2 Network Security Setting
Set the appropriate settings for the ActiveX controls and plug-ins. Find the following controls
in the “Security Settings” box and select the “Enable” option for each of them. This is an
extremely important step.
* Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls.
* Binary and script behaviors.
* Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting.
* Download signed ActiveX controls.
* Download unsigned ActiveX controls.
* Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
* Script ActiveX controls safe for scripting.
Prompt: Before setting up remote access, turn Disable the firewall and any anti-virus software
currently running on the computer.
Remote access to the IP video door phone is carried out over the Internet. In the local area
network, the IP address of the client-side computer must be in the same network segment that
the IP address of the IP video door phone. In the wide area network, the only requirement is
that the two sides can visit the public network and connect to the Internet through the IP
address or the dynamic domain name. The following will mainly focus on connecting and
setting up the local area network.
Step 1: Right-click on “Network Neighborhood” and click “Properties” in the menu to open the
“Network Connections” menu. Alternatively, if the operating system being used does not have
a “Network Neighborhood” icon, enter the Control Panel found in the “Start” menu; then, click
“Network and Internet”, and select “Network and Sharing
Center.” On the “Network and Sharing Center” page, there
should be a “Network” section; in that section, there should be
a “View Status” link next to a listing that reads “Connection:
Local Area Connection.” Click the “View Status” link. A small
“Local Area Connection Status” window will appear; at the
bottom of this screen, click “Properties”, and if prompted to
give permission to continue, click “Yes.”
Step 2: Double-click to open “Local Area Connection” from the
“Network Connections” menu.
Step 3: Click “Properties” in the lower-left corner of the window
(see preceding figure).
Step 4: Double-click “Internet protocol (TCP/IP)” from the “This
connection uses the following items” list in the center of the
window (see preceding figure).

Step 5: The default IP address of the outdoor camera is 192.168.0.111. Set the corresponding
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway on the PC. If the subnet mask and default
gateway on the computer are the same as those of the outdoor device, then the IP address is
most likely in the same network segment. However, they must not be exactly the same as the
ones on the outdoor device, as this will cause IP address conflicts. Taking the preceding figure
as an example, the IP address should be: 192.168.0.X, where X cannot be 244 or 1 (including
other IP addresses currently being used), and cannot exceed 255, as the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0, and the gateway is 192.168.1.1.
