2.4Connecting Cameras Using a Router

Note about connecting a router

Before registering existing cameras, assign Static IP addresses to the cameras, and set the cameras to be accessible over the Internet if so desired. Refer to the Operating Instructions included with your cameras and router for more information.

2.4.1Connection Overview

1.Connect the BL-WV10A to the television and router (see page 42)

The [Basic Setup] screen appears.

2.Set the camera IP address (see page 44)

3.Set the user name and password (see page 45)

If the cameras in use are already connected to a router, change the camera user names and passwords to the administrator name and password for the BL-WV10A and run Quick Setup. If you run Quick Setup without making these changes, the registered cameras will become remote cameras.

If the cameras are still set to the default settings, Quick Setup will automatically assign user names and passwords. There is no need to set the administrator name and password manually.

4.Configure the cameras using Quick Setup (see page 47)

5.Confirm the camera images (see page 50)

6.Place the cameras and the router (see page 52)
