Monoprice 9204 IP Camera - Manual (Page 9)

MPEG-4 wired/wireless IP Camera
Ethernet link is ok, the Ethernet indication LED on the front side will be blue light.
4. Reset button – this is the button to reset the IP Camera to default factory settings.
You need to use a small stick like pencil or tooth stick to press the reset button for
more than 3 seconds to enable the reset function. Usually when you forgot the
administrator account, you will probably need to do this reset action to reset to the
default factory settings. Please refer to section 3.15 for more details.
5. Antenna jack(for Cam(w)) – this is the place to hold the wireless antenna. The
antenna must be plugged to let the 802.11 b/g wireless work.

2.2. Quick installation and usage
There are only three things that you need to do to see the video from the IP Camera.
1. Connect the IP Camera to the home/office network.
2. Install the CamView software on the notebook/PC.
3. Key in the ID/password of the IP Camera(from the ID/Password card) on the
CamView, and then you can see the video.
First, Connect the IP Camera to the home/office network
Please connect the IP Camera accessaries to the IP Camera body correctly,
including the antenna, bracket, power adapter and Ethernet cable, as shown in Figure
2-3. And connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the home network or office
network. Usually, this Ethernet cable is plugged into a home NAT/router device or an
Ethernet switch if in the office, as shown in Figure 2-4. Since the default settings of the
IP Camera use DHCP function and very often there is a DHCP server on most of the
Home/office network, the IP Camera should be connected to the Internet immediately.
The Internet status LED is constant red light to indicate this good connection status. If
the LED is blinking, please refer to section 3.3~3.5 to try other network settings.
