Connecting an ordinary microphone will dwarf sounds and will

result in inaudible recording.

Reset Button

The purpose of reset button is to restore the factory default

settings of the camera, including administrator’s password.

The reset button can be used for following purposes:

1. The administrator’s password has been forgotten and

therefore the camera cannot be accessed.

2. In case of IP address, mask, or allow/deny filter related

issues, resulting with inability to modify these settings.

3. In case of connectivity issues or abnormal video quality.

How to do the reset?

Using a pointed object, such as a paper clip, press and hold the

reset button for at least 5 seconds.

Hardware Manual

Basic Connections

Follow the procedures below to connect the IP device to the respective apparatuses.

Please use a PoE (Power over Ethernet) supported switch or injector:

1) Connect your IP Camera to the PoE Switch / Injector by CAT5 or CAT6 cables with RJ45

connector.

2) Connect your PoE Switch / Injector to PC with another CAT5 / CAT6 network cable.

Hardware Manual

Accessing the Camera

Configure the IP Addresses

In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC

have to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should

have very similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from

each other. There are 2 different approaches to IP Address management in Local Area

Networks –by DHCP Server or Manually.

Using DHCP Server to Assign IP Addresses

If you have connected the computer and the camera into the network that has a DHCP server

running, then you do not need to configure the IP addresses at all –both the camera and the

PC would request a unique IP address from DHCP server automatically. In such case, the

camera will immediately be ready for the access from the PC. The user, however, might not

know the IP address of the camera yet. It is necessary to know the IP address of the camera in

other to be able to access it by using a Web browser.

The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network is to use the simplest network

search, built in the Windows system –just by pressing the “Network” icon, all the cameras of

the local area network will be discovered by Windows thanks to the UPnP function support of

our cameras.

In the example below, we successfully found the camera that we had just connected to the

network.

Hardware Manual

By double-clicking with the left mouse on the camera model, it is possible to automatically

launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the

address bar of the browser already.

If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the

cameras in the network –by using IP Utility. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not

only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC

addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple

devices at the same time.

The IP Utility can be downloaded for free from our website.

With just one click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows:

You can quickly see the camera model in the list. Click on the IP address to automatically

launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the

address bar of the browser already.
