Intamac Quick Install Guide – Linksys Wireless G Camera

Linksys Wireless-G camera Quick Install Guide

This guide explains how to install and configure the Linksys Wireless-G camera (model WVC54G-UK) so it can be monitored by Intamac.

BILLING

When you register for an Intamac account you will need to create a BT Click&Buy account (if you don’t already have one) – this is required to activate any free trial period you may be entitled to. You will only need to do this once, and you will be prompted at the appropriate time. This automated online payment mechanism allows you to easily pay for and unsubscribe from Intamac services by direct debit, credit card or on your BT telephone bill.

INSTALL PROCEDURE

The following assumes you have already setup your camera using the CD Rom wizard and are able to see your camera via you internal network. If this is not the case, please refer to Linksys’ technical support documentation.

1.Setup an Intamac account and subscribe to camera monitoring

a.Setup an Intamac account by following the instructions on the CD Rom provided with your camera. Alternatively, access the Intamac monitoring tab of your camera’s web-based utility, click Setup a new account and follow the instructions.

b.When prompted, login to your Intamac account and setup a BT Click&Buy account (if you already have a Click&Buy account, you can bypass this by simply logging in when prompted).

c.When prompted, click the link to subscribe to camera monitoring.

2.Configure for external viewing

To allow you to view live pictures through your camera from outside your property, you must first establish the following:

a.Do you have a static or dynamic external IP address?

Your ISP will be able to tell you this. You may also be able to find out this information from your router’s configuration page.

i.If it is static (i.e. is fixed and does not change), make a note of it and proceed to step c.

ii.If it is dynamic (i.e. is not-fixed and changes ever time you access the Internet), you will need to register for a DDNS service.

1.If you don’t already have a DDNS service, you should register for the Linksys Sololink service. To do this, click the ‘Setup Sololink DDNS Service’ option on the CD Rom Wizard front page and follow the instructions.

2.If you already have a DDNS service for your router, you can use the same one for your camera.

b.Configure port forwarding

Your router now needs to be configured to allow you to have external access through it to your Linksys camera. It does this by using a designated ‘port’. If you have other cameras, they must each operate on different port numbers.
