2. Push the camera up onto the metal mounting bracket.



3. Rotate the base of the camera to lock it onto the bracket.

4. Install the final screw so that the camera cannot be removed without the use of a tool.


Section 2 - Installation

Wireless Installation Considerations

The DCS-5635 can be accessed using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the quantity, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a

45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet

(14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range.

4. Keep your product at least 3 to 6 feet (1-2 meters) away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Section 4 - Security

Wireless Security

This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders.

The DCS-5635 offers the following types of security:

• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

What is WEP?

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless device to another.

To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to

HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily.



What is WPA?

WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy).

The 2 major improvements over WEP:

• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP.

• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol

(EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.



Configuration and Use with a NAT Router

D-Link’s DCS-5605/5635 is a versatile and cost effective Internet Camera offering both video and audio monitoring.

It can also serve as a powerful surveillance system in security applications. The DCS-5605/5635 can be used with any wired or 802.11n/g wireless router. This section explains how to view the camera from either the Internet or from inside your internal network.

Materials Needed:

• 1 DCS-5605/5635 Internet Camera

• 1 Ethernet Cable

• A Wired or Wireless router such as the D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router

• Ethernet based PC for system configuration

Setting up the DCS-5605/5635 for Use Behind a Router

Installing a DCS-5605/5635 Internet Camera on your network is an easy 4–step procedure:

1. Assign a Local IP Address to Your Internet Camera

2. View the Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web Browser

3. Access the Router with Your Web Browser

4. Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing

This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For the basic setup of the DCS-5605/5635, follow the steps outlined in the Quick Installation

Guide.



After you have completed the setup of the DCS-5605/5635 outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the Internet Camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your

Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.

1. Assign a Local IP Address to Your Camera

Run the setup wizard from the CD included with the DCS-5605/5635. Follow the steps in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-5605/5635. The camera will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Write down this IP Address for future reference.



2. View the Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web Browser

Run your Internet Explorer Web browser. In the address bar, type in the IP Address that was assigned to the Internet

Camera by the Setup Wizard SE program. The DCS-5605/5635 Live Video Page appears with a window displaying live video from the camera. You are able to view this screen from any PC running Internet Explorer on your LAN.

Click on the

Setup button on the left side of the display. Scroll to the bottom of the Network Setup page (see page 45) to display the ports used by HTTP and Streaming audio and video.



The Setup > Network Setup page displays the port settings for your camera. If necessary, these ports can be changed if they are already in use by other devices (e.g. in a multiple camera environment).

Note: Both the HTTP port and RTSP port are required to be opened for the DCS-5605/5635. Please refer to page 77 on how to open ports in the router.



Router Set-Up and Installation

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DIR-655 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings of the DIR-655 by following the steps outlined in the DIR-655 Quick Installation Guide.

3. Access the Router with Your Web Browser

If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s

WAN IP Address is, go to the Status menu on your router and locate the

WAN information for your router (as shown on the next page). The WAN

IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your Web browser to view your camera over the Internet.

Your WAN IP Address will be listed on the router’s Status > Device

Info page.



Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a

Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. The Static IP Address will also allow you to access your camera attached to your router over the Internet.

4. Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing

The firewall security features built into the DIR-655 router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-

5605/5635 over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the DCS-5605/5635 are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the DIR-655 router. The Virtual

Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the

Advanced tab of the router screen.

Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:

1. Click

Enabled.

2. Enter a different name for each entry.

3. Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.120) in the Private IP field.

4. Select TCP for HTTP port, both (TCP and UDP) for RTSP and both (TCP and UDP) for 5556 - 5559 ports.

5. If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click

Apply.

6. Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.



Repeat the above steps adding the port 554 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports to conserve bandwidth. Check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 800. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.

Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box next to the camera name on the Virtual Server List to enable your settings.

Section 5 - Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

1 What is an Internet Camera?

The Internet Camera is a stand-alone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. It differs from a conventional PC Camera, the Internet Camera is an all-in-one 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 an Intranet or the Internet from a Web browser.

2. What is the maximum number of users that can be allowed to access DCS-5605/5635 simultaneously?

The maximum number of users that can log onto the Internet Camera at the same time is 10. Please keep in mind the overall performance of the transmission speed will slow down when many users are logged on.

3. What algorithm is used to compress the digital image?

The Internet Camera utilizes H.264 Simple Profile Mode image compression technology to provide high quality images.

4. Can I capture still images from the Internet Camera?

Yes you are able to capture still images with the snapshot function from the software application CD supplied with the Internet Camera or with the snapshot function on the Home page using an Internet browser.

5. Can the Internet Camera be used outdoors?

The Internet Camera is not weatherproof, and needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case in order to be used outdoors (recommended).

6. When physically connecting the Internet Camera to a network what network cabling is required?

The Internet Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking.

7. Can the Internet Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?

No, the DCS-5635 Internet Camera is used only on a wireless 802.11n/g, Ethernet, or Fast Ethernet network.



8. Can the DCS-5605/5635 be connected to the network if it consists of only private IP addresses?

Yes, the Internet Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP addresses.

9. Can the DCS-5605/5635 be installed and work if a firewall exists on the network?

If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 needs to be opened for ordinary data communication. The DCS-

5605/5635 uses HTTP port and RTSP port to stream video data. These ports (or the ports you specify from the

Advanced Tab in the Configuration screen if you change the default ports) need to be opened in the firewall device.

Please refer to page 77 for more information.

10. Why am I unable to access the DCS-5605/5635 from a Web browser?

If a router or firewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the DCS-5605/5635 may not be configured on the router or firewall. To correct the problem, you need to determine if the DCS-5605/5635 is behind a router or firewall and if the router or firewall is properly configured for the ports the DCS-5605/5635 is using. Refer to page 77 for help in opening the correct ports on a router or firewall for use with the DCS-5605/5635.

Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface of the product by connecting a local computer to the unit, utilizing a Ethernet crossover cable. If the problem is not solved the Internet Camera might be faulty.

11. Why does the Internet Camera work locally but not externally?

This might be caused by network firewall protection. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the Internet Camera to be accessible outside your local LAN. Check with the Network Administrator for your network.

Make sure that the Internet Camera is not conflicting with any Web server you may have running on your network.

The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the configuration of the router settings allow the

Internet Camera to be accessed outside your local LAN. Please refer to page 77 for more information.



12. I connected the Internet Camera directly to a computer with a cross-over cable Ethernet cable and received the following Windows error upon running the Installation Wizard:

This Windows error will occur if the Internet Camera is connected to a computer that is not properly configured with a valid IP address. Turn off DHCP from the Network Settings in Windows

® and configure the computer with a valid IP address, or connect the camera to a router with DHCP enabled.

13. Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear throughout the image?

It could be that the CMOS sensor has become overloaded when it has been exposed to bright lights such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights. Reposition the Internet Camera into a more shaded area immediately as prolonged exposure to bright lights will damage the CMOS sensor.

14. Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem?

The video images might be noisy if the Internet Camera is used in a very low light environment. To solve this issue you need more lighting.

15. The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I improve the image quality?

Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set above 256 colors. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image appear to be of poor quality.

The configuration on the Internet Camera image display is incorrect. Through the

Image Setup section of the Web management you need to adjust the image related parameters such as brightness, contrast, hue and power line frequency for fluorescent light. Please refer to the Image Setup section on Page 49 for detailed information.

Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.

Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide this link.



What is Wireless?

Wireless or WiFi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. WiFi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office network.

Why D-Link Wireless?

D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.

D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network.

How does wireless work?

Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point

B. But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless

Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other outdoor venues.



Who uses wireless?

Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, office, business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.

Home

• Gives everyone at home broadband access

• Surf the web, check e-mail, instant message, and etc

• Gets rid of the cables around the house

• Simple and easy to use

Small Office and Home Office

• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at office

• Remotely access your office network from home

• Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers

• No need to dedicate office space

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public places is usually called “hotspots.”



Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.

Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.

Tips

Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.

Centralize your router or Access Point

Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home.

If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.

Eliminate Interference

Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as away as possible from the router/ access point. This would significantly reduce any interfere that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.

Security

Do not let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.



Wireless Modes

There are basically two modes of networking:

• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

•

Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more DCS-5635 wireless network Cardbus adapters.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the wireless router or access point.

An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in

Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

Networking Basics

Check your IP Address

After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on

Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network settings.


Appendix B - Networking Basics

Statically Assign an IP Address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:

Step 1

Windows

®

XP - Click on

Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

Windows

®

2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.

Step 2

Right-click on the

Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.

Step 3

Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

Step 4

Click

Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN

IP address on your router.

Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address

192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN

IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The

Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

Step 5

Click OK twice to save your settings.
