Outdoor IP Camera Connecting Guide
For initial setup, you need to connect the IP Camera directly to your router, switch or computer via a network cable. You cannot
connect wirelessly to the camera without first setting it up via a network cable.
You should connect the Camera into your internet router (normally supplied by your broadband provider), a switch box or hub (that
is connected to your computers network) or directly to your computer (gives limited viewing options, so this is not recommended).
Connection via a Router/Switch
1. Using the standard Ethernet network cable, plug this in to the network connection socket on the IP Camera at one end, and plug
the other end in to a spare port on your router/switch.
2. Using the Power Adaptor (supplied), plug one end in to the Power Connection socket on the IP Camera. Plug the other end in to
an electrical socket and turn the power on.
3. The Connectivity Status indicator on the front of the camera will light up. Your router/switch will then begin to communicate with
the camera.
Connection directly to a computer
