Direct connection: Connect the camera and computer by network connecting cable. Internet connection mode: Connect the camera to Internet by Router or Switcher and user can login the device by browser web page. Note: Please do not put the power cable and network cable in places where can be easily touched, to prevent video unstable signal transmission due to poor contact of cables. The computer must have the network segment where the camera IP address belongs to. The device will not be accessible if without the segment. The camera default IP address is 192.168.5.163, segment 5 must be added in the computer. Firstly open the window of Local Area Connection Properties on computer, select the “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”. Double click or click the property “Internet” protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to enter into the Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) Properties window; select “Advanced” to enter into the Advanced TCP/IP Setting and add IP and subnet mask. Click the “Confirm” to finish the adding of IP segment. User can add the corresponding network segment according to the revised IP address of the camera. Note: The IP address to be added cannot be same with that of other computers or devices. The existence of this IP address needs to be verified before adding. To verify whether the network segment has been successfully added, click the “Start” and select “Operation” to input cmd, then click CONFIRM and open DOS command window, ping 192.168.5.26 and press Enter key to display information as shown below:
After camera power on and self-check, follow the steps above to verify network connection. Open DOS command window, ping 192.168.5.163 and press Enter key.
