VI. Accessing NetCam-2 Homepage & Monitoring Real-time Image
After assigning NetCam-2 an IP address, the NetCam-2 can be configured within its self- contained
homepage through any standard Web browser on a local network. However access to its Homepage by a
remote network is not possible until gateway address, subnet mask, and broadcast address have been properly
assigned.
1. Starting Web browser
Start the web browser and enter the NetCam-2 IP address. This will access the NetCam-2 login homepage.
NetCam-2 can support up to 100 users simultaneously. If a person tries to access NetCam-2 as the 101
st
user,
no image will be received, and a counter message in the upper right side of homepage will read ‘Connected
Client#: 101’.
2. Login page
1) ID and password
The login page allows only registered NetCam-2 users to view images from NetCam-2. To connect to
NetCam-2 and view real-time images, follow the login procedures.
Type in the user’s ID and password to access the image viewing screen. To access the “Admin page” directly
and configure administrator’s conditions, type in the administrator’s ID and password.
The default name and password for the user is “guest.” The default Admin username and password is
“admin.” Both may be changed at the Admin page, but neither the ID nor password can be more than nine
characters long.
2) Behind Firewall
If the PC is connected on a network where firewall is, real time image will not be viewed properly because
video TCP port of NetCam-2 is blocked. Common video TCP port (A default video TCP port of NetCam-2 is
8080
th
port.) is blocked under firewall. In this case, real time image may be viewed through NetCam-2’s
Server Push Viewer that transmits video through Web TCP port instead of video TCP port. To connect Server
Push Viewer directly at NetCam-2 homepage, click on ‘Behind Firewall’ menu.
3) NetCam-2 Plug-in for Netscape user
To monitor real-time images using Netscape Navigator, the NetCam-2 Plug-in program is needed. This can be
downloaded from the login page by clicking on “Download NetCam-2 Plug In Now!”. When connecting
NetCam-2 for the first time or having Plug-in program of lower version, download it. When accessing
NetCam-2 with lower version, user may not monitor properly. In the case, download and install it again.
4) NetCam-2 Active-X for MS Explorer User
Systems using Microsoft Explorer require Active-X Control program. The program will usually be installed
automatically when a user accesses a NetCam-2. A pop-up window will appear for Active-X installation, click
“yes.” If images still do not appear after installation, check the “c:\windows\download program files” folder
(for Windows 2000 NT, the directory is c:\WINNT\download program files). The file name is Web Camera
Server Control. If the file is not installed in the directory, return to the login page and click “NetCam-2
Plug-in.” If the file is downloaded, but images cannot be seen, delete the file and re-install.
