Hardware Installation

1Connect the Ethernet Cable

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the back panel of the DCS-6620G, and attach the other end to a router, switch, or gateway on the network.

If you connect this camera directly to a PC, you will need a cross-over Ethernet cable. If you plug the camera into a hub or router, you will be able to use the

cable included with your camera.

It is required that an Ethernet cable is used during initial setup. Once your wireless configuration is set, you may disconnect the Ethernet cable and reboot your

camera to connect to your wireless network.

2Attach the External Power Supply

Attach the external power supply to the DC power input connector located on the backpanel of the DCS-6620G(labeled 12V), and connect it to an AC power outlet.

Both the red and green LEDs will flash alternately and only the red LED will remain lit. The green LED will not come on until you have configured your camera.

3Attach the Antennas

Attach the two antennas to the connectors located on the back panel of the DCS-6620G.

Power source is confirmed when the LED Power Indicator on the 802.11g PTZ

Internet Camera is illuminated.

Power LED

LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode.

The Power LED is positioned in the center of the Internet Camera base. As soon as the power adapter is connected to the Internet camera, the power and the activity LED will flash red and green several times. The DCS-6620Gis conducting a self-test. Upon passing the self-test, the red LED will be solid and the green LED will start to blink to indicate a good connection to an Ethernet port. If you are directly connected to the camera via a crossover cable, the light may cycle on and off and your computer may show an intermittent loss of connectivity. This is normal until you have configured your Internet Camera.The absence of a blinking green LED indicates no connection has been made.

Attaching the Internet Camera to the Camera Stand

The Internet Camera comes with a camera stand with a swivel ball screw head that can be attached to the Internet Camera bottom socket cavity. Attach the camera stand to the Internet Camera and station it for your application.There is a hole located in the base of the camera stand allowing the Internet Camera to be mounted to the ceiling, or any wall securely.
