Initial Access to the Network Camera
Check Network Settings
The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software
installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network
settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of
gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail
information. By default the Network Camera requires the Administrator to run installation
every time it reboots. If the network settings are to remain unchanged, disable the Install
option. Refer to “Network settings” on the System Configuration page for details. If any
setting is entered incorrectly and cannot proceed to setting up the Network Camera,
restore the factory settings following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the
Appendix.
Change Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access
The default Administrator’s password is the “MAC Address” of your FCS-1010/WCS-2010.
Please refer to the bottom label of your MAC address. The Administrator should immediately
implement a new password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s
password is saved, the Network Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before each
access. The Administrator can set up a maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each user can
access the Network Camera except to perform system configuration. Some critical functions are
exclusive for the Administrator, such as system configuration, user administration, and software
upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is permanently assigned as “root”. Once the
password is changed, the browser will display an authentication window to ask for the new
password. Once the password is set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s
password. The only option is to restore to the original factory default settings.
