Hardware Installation and I/O Pin Assignment 1. Connect power adapter. 2. Connect IP Camera to PC or network with Ethernet cable. LED indicator Connect Ethernet cable Connect Power adapter 3. Set up the network configurations according to the network environment. For further explanation, please refer to Network Configuration for IP Camera.
IP Assignment There are two ways to find IP Camera: − Finding IP Camera by using “NXU Lite recording software” − Finding IP Camera by using “IP installer” Finding IP Camera by using “NXU Lite recording software” 1. The NXU Lite software is in the attached software CD. Before launching it, please install the software first. During the installing process, users will be required to input a User name and Password for login NXU Lite system. Users can define the User name and Password as wishes.
3. Click “Setup” button. 4. Click “Add IPCam” button. 5. Select “IP Camera” item.
6. Key in IP Camera’s ID and Password (default is admin/admin) and click “Auto Search” to find camera. 7. In Search Result window, click it the IP camera model that user has purchased (Please ignore ONVIF connection item); the camera is in red text that is configurable. User can double-click on the camera is in red text and configure the IP camera’s setting; even the IP camera is not in the same IP segment. Press “OK” to back to previous screen and press”Connect” to start live view.
Finding IP Camera by using “IP installer” Use the software, “IP Installer” to assign the IP address of the IP camera. The software is in the attached software CD. IP installer supports two languages IPInstallerCht.exe: Traditional Chinese version IPInstallerEng.exe: English version There are 3 kinds of IP configuration. Fixed IP (Public IP or Virtual IP) DHCP (Dynamic IP) DHCP server/router network automatically assigns IP addresses to devices.
IP Installer configuration: 1. IP Installer will search all IP cameras connected on the LAN. The user can click “Search Device” to search again. 2. Click one of the IP cameras listed on the left side. The network configuration for this IP camera will show on the right side. You may change the name of the IP camera to your preference (eg: Office, warehouse) in “Name” on the right side. Using DHCP Server/Router Network To use DHCP, please check DHCP and click “Submit” then click “OK”.
Using NON-DHCP Server/Router Network In Non-DHCP server/router network, the static IP address must be assigned to the device each time when adding another IP camera to the network; the default IP address of the current one must be changed to avoid conflict. Please make sure the Subnet of the PC’s IP address and the IP camera’s IP address are the same. [Example] The same Subnet: IP camera IP address: 192.168.1.200 PC IP address: 192.168.1.100 Different Subnets: IP camera IP address: 192.168.2.
IP camera IP addresses: 3. A quick way to access remote monitoring is to left-click the mouse twice on a selected IP camera in “Device lists” in IP Installer. Upon doing so, the Internet Explorer browser should open.
4. Then, please key in the default “User name” and “Password”, both of which are “admin”.
Install ActiveX Control The first time you attempt to view the camera video via Internet Explorer, it will ask you to install the ActiveX component.
