2. Getting Started 2. Getting Started This chapter is intended to give information and instructions for installing and conducting the initial configuration of the network camera. Sections within this chapter include mounting, power wiring, network deployment, IP Finder utility installation and how to use IP Finder. 2.1 Installing the Camera 2.1.1 Mounting the IP Camera The camera supports several mounting methods.
2. Getting Started 2.1.2 Connecting to a Power Supply The camera does not include an On/Off switch. The equipment is simply connected to/ disconnect from a power source to power on/off. Users can power the equipment on by one of the following options: Caution Tip • 24 VAC: Connect the power input terminal block of the equipment to a 24VAC power source. • POE+: Connect the equipment via a category 5/5e or higer UTP/STP cable to a POE+ (802.3at) compliant router or Ethernet switch.
2. Getting Started Caution Tip Note Although an RJ-45 coupler is used to extend the connection length, the total length between the PC and the IP camera must not be longer than 100 meters (328 feet). The LAN port of the camera supports auto MDI/MDIX (Medium dependent interface crossover) so there is no need to use crossover cable. To access the camera, the PC must be on the same network segment as the camera. The default IP address of the camera is a static one (192.168.1.30).
2. Getting Started Router xDSL/Cable Modem To access the camera from a local PC, simply use the local IP address of the camera. To enable remote access, you must configure your router/firewall to forward an incoming request to that fixed local IP address of the camera. Therefore, when an external host sends a request to access your camera, the request will first reach the router’s external IP address and then be forwarded to the local IP address of the camera. 2.
2. Getting Started Step 2: IP Address Configuration for PC The camera uses a default IP address of 192.168.1.30 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. To have your PC on the same network segment with the camera, configure your PC’s IP settings as below: IP address: 192.168.1.X (where X is a number between 2 to 254, excluding 30). Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0. Ignore all other settings and click OK. Step 3: Link Verification between PC and Camera 1.
2. Getting Started When prompted for login, enter the user name and the password respectively (The defaults: admin, 1234). Note that the user name and password are case-sensitive.
2. Getting Started 2.3 Using “IP Finder” to Manage Cameras IP Finder is a management tool included on the product CD. It is designed to manage your network cameras on the LAN. It can help find multiple network cameras, set IP addresses, and show connection status. 2.3.1 Installing IP Finder Before proceeding, make sure your operating system is Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. To install the software, simply locate and double-click the IP Finder setup file on the provided CD.
2. Getting Started Search Network: This option allows you to search the cameras on the network. Set Master ID and Password: Allows you to set a master ID and password for managing the cameras with IP Finder. Management Tool: Allows you to restart the camera and reset all of the camera settings to default (except network settings). Caution Tip Note The management tool does’t support Update Firmware and Hard Factory Default functions for NIC990.
