Software installation
At the end of the hardware installation, users can use Installation Wizard program included in the product CDROM to find the location of the Network Camera. There may be many Network Cameras in the local network. Users can differentiate the Network Cameras with the serial number. The serial number is the MAC address that is printed on the labels on the carton and the back of the Network Camera body. Please refer to the user’s manual of Installation Wizard for detail.
Once installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the next section "Initial access to the Network Camera" for necessary checks and configurations.
Initial Access to the Network Camera
Check Network Settings
The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail information. By default the Network Camera requires the Administrator to run installation every time it reboots. If the network settings are to remain unchanged, disable the Install option. Refer to “Network settings” on the System Configuration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and cannot proceed to setting up the Network Camera, restore the factory settings following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the Appendix.
