4: Installation
4.1 Connecting to the Camera
Connect the RJ45 network cable from the camera’s LAN port to your network;
e.g., the router or a LAN switch, then power on the camera. The boot sequence
will take about one minute. You will need to use the camera’s power adapter,
unless your camera supports PoE (see section 1.3 Model Overview). In that
case you can connect the RJ45 cable to a PoE enabled switch or injector to
power the camera.
By default, the network camera (or video server) searches for a DHCP server
on the network and obtains an IP address automatically. A very common DHCP
server is a router, a device that is found on most networks.
The presence of a DHCP server on your network simplifies the installation and
users with limited knowledge of TCP/IP networks can install the network
camera in minutes. If no DHCP server is found, the network camera will revert
to its default IP address 192.168.1.221.
On Windows systems, you want to use the IP Installer utility that finds the
camera on the network and lets you make changes to the configuration.
Once the camera is set up properly, it can be accessed with the computer’s
Web browser. The following sections describe the procedure for Windows,
MacOS and Linux users.
