Introduction
Thank you for the purchase of the Internet Camera connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet. It is different from the conventional PC Camera, the Internet Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU and web-based solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring. The Internet Camera can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser. The simple installation procedures and web-based interface offers easy integration to your network application environments coupled with many applications such as remote monitoring for a cost-effective solution

Extensive knowledge of LAN will be helpful in setting up the
Internet Camera
From the web browser enter the default IP address to access the
Welcome screen of the Internet Camera to configure your Internet
Camera type http ://192.168.0.20 in the address box. The number is the default IP address of your Internet Camera. Press Enter
.
Note:
The PC’s IP address must correspond with the Internet
Camera’s IP address in the same segment for the two devices to communicate.
10

IP Assignment:
Important Information
Access to the Internet Camera is done through assigning a proper IP address. Please make sure to use a vacant IP address when you assign the IP address for the Internet Camera. This will prevent errors from occurring if the IP address is overlapped.
There are two options to select from the IP Assignment either
Manually Assign or Assign Automatically Using.
Manually Assign
You can click “Manually Assign” and directly enter the IP address.
The default settings are as follows:
•
Default IP – 192.168.0.20
•
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
•
Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0
Assign Automatically Using
If your network is using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server you can click “Assign Automatically Using” and click on “RARP”,
“BOOTP” or “DHCP”. Under this setting the
Internet Camera
will automatically assign an IP address from RARP, BOOTP or
DHCP server. Each time the
Internet Camera
starts up be sure the RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server is setup as assign a static IP to your
Internet Camera
.
13
If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the
Internet Camera
’s RJ-45 LAN port and you also have an ISP PPPoE account. Click on “PPPoE” option and enter the Service Name, User ID and Password into the respective fields.
The Internet Camera
will get an IP address from the ISP each time the
Internet Camera
starts up.
Save/Cancel:
After making sure all settings in the System are correct, click on the “Save” icon to store the settings for the
Internet Camera
.
You can alternatively click on the “Cancel” icon to restore all settings to the values last saved to or retrieved from the
