This section provides instructions for installing and using the IP surveillance and Image Viewer, which are included with the LAN CAMERA. The programs can be operated by a selected PC equipped with the following requirements.

System Requirements

Intel Pentium 1.5 GHz processor or above (2.8 GHz or higher recommended).

128-MB RAM at least (256-MB or higher recommended). Windows 2000, XP or above.

4 MB VGA card capable of 24-bit true color display.

100 MB free hard-disk space for software installation. 10/100 Base-TX network for LAN operation.

The Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 above.

In the multi-channel recording mode, the HD data transfer rates must be 66MB or above (100MB or higher recommended).

5.2.1 Introduction to IP surveillance

The IP surveillance allows you to access many units of the LAN CAMERA from a remote desktop or a laptop in a TCP/IP networking environment. It can perform the following functions.

View live images from the LANCAMERA.

Store, search, and review recorded video from an FTP server, PC, and SD card. Change a regular record, event record, and timer properties.

Before you are ready to view images from a desktop, you need to have your LAN CAMERA networked by obtaining a 10/100 base-TX Ethernet data cable (Standard RJ-45) to connect the LAN CAMERA to your LAN/WAN. Now enter the main menu to set the IP address.
