Network Camera User Manual 10 Chapter 2 Network Connection and Setup Before you start: If you want to set up the network camera via LAN, please refer to the Section 2.1 Setting up the Network Camera over the LAN. If you want to set up the network camera via WAN, please refer to the Section 2.2 Setting up the Network Camera over the WAN. 2.1 Setting up the Network Camera over the LAN Purpose: To view and configure the camera via LAN(Local Area Network), you need to connect the network camera in the same subnet with your PC. Then install Aventura CWS software to search and configure the IP of the network camera. 2.1.1 Wiring over the LAN The following figures show the two ways of the cable connection of a network camera and a PC: Purpose: To test the network camera, you can directly connect the network camera to the computer with a network cable as shown in Figure 2-1. Refer to the Figure 2-2, if you want to set up the network camera over the LAN. Figure 2-1 Connecting Directly

Network Camera User Manual 11 Figure 2-2 Connecting via a Switch or Router 2.1.2 Detecting and changing the IP address You need the IP address to visit the network camera. Steps: 1. To get the IP address, you can choose either of the following methods: Use the network device auto-detect feature in Aventura CWS. It can automatically detect network cameras in the LAN and list device information like IP address, subnet mask, port number, device serial number, device version, etc. Use CWS software and show the online devices. Please refer to the user manual of client software for detailed information. 2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as of your PC. For the details on Aventura CWS, please refer to the Aventura CWS Software Manual. 3. Then you can enter the IP address of network camera in the address field of the web browser to view the live video. Note: The default value of the IP address is 192.0.0.64 and the port number is 8000. The default user name is admin, and password is 12345. For accessing the network camera from different subnets, please set the gateway for the network camera after you log in.

Network Camera User Manual 12 2.2 Setting up the Network Camera over the WAN Purpose: This section explains how to connect the network camera to the WAN(Wide Area Network). Skip this section if you don't need to connect the camera to the WAN. 2.2.1 Static IP Connection Before you start: Apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP address, you can connect the network camera via a router or connect it to the WAN directly. Connecting the network camera via a router Steps: 1. Connect the network camera to the router. 2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to the Section 2.1.2 Detecting and changing the IP address for detailed IP address configuration of the camera. 3. Save the static IP in the router. 4. Set up port mapping, E.g., 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping. Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about Port Mapping. 5. Then you can visit the network camera through a web browser or client software via the internet. Figure 2-3 Accessing IPC through Router with Static IP Saving the static IP in the network camera Save the static IP in the network camera. You can directly connect the network camera to the internet without using a router. Refer to the Section 2.1.2 Detecting and changing the IP address for detailed IP address configuration of the camera.

Network Camera User Manual 13 Figure 2-4 Accessing IPC with Static IP directly 2.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection Before you start: Apply a dynamic IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the dynamic IP address, you can connect the network camera to a modem or a router. Connecting the network camera via a router Steps: 1. Connect the network camera to the router. 2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to the Section 2.1.2 Detecting and changing the IP address for detailed LAN configuration. 3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password. 4. Set up port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping. Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about Port Mapping. 5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider. 6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router. 7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name. Connecting the network camera via a modem Purpose: This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera. Steps: Figure 2-5 Accessing IPC through PPPoE Dial-up

Network Camera User Manual 14 1. Access the network camera through the local area network with web browser or client software. 2. Configure the PPPOE settings. Input the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password. Refer to the Section Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. for detailed configuration. 3. Then, the network camera obtains an IP address from the ISP. Purpose: However, the obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always changes after the rebooting. To solve the inconvenience of dynamic IP, you can get a domain name from the DDNS provider. E.g. DynDns.com. Domain name resolution contains normal domain name resolution and private domain name resolution. Normal Domain Name Resolution Figure 2-6 Normal Domain Name Resolution Steps: 1. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider. 2. Configure the DDNS settings in the DDNS Settings interface of the network camera. Refer to the Section Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. for detailed configuration. 3. Visit the camera via the applied domain name. Private Domain Name Resolution

Network Camera User Manual 15 Figure 2-7 Private Domain Name Resolution Steps: 1. Install and run the IP Server software in a PC with a static IP. 2. Access the network camera through the local area network with web browser or client software. 3. Configure the DDNS settings in the DDNS Settings interface of the network camera. 4. Check the Enable DDNS checkbox. 5. Select IP Server as the DDNS Type. 6. Input the Static IP of the IP server in the Server IP box. 7. Click Save. Refer to the Section Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. for detailed configuration.
