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, or

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.
