Hardware Installation
Connect the Ethernet Cable
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector located on the Internet Camera’s back panel and attach it to 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.
Attach the External Power Supply
Attach the external power supply to the DC power input connector located on the Internet Camera’s back panel
(labeled DC 12V) and connect it to an AC power outlet.
Power source is confirmed when the LED Power Indicator on the
Internet Camera is illuminated.
When you have a proper connection, the LED (Light Emitting Diode) will turn from red to green. The light may blink on and off and your computer may show an intermittant loss of connectivity if it is connected directly to the camera. This is normal until you have configured your camera.

If you do not want to use the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled by unselecting “Enabled” on the DDNS/UPnP settings page under “Advanced” in the configuration menu. Use the following steps to enable UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play) settings only if you are running Windows XP/Me. If you are running Windows 98/
