Section 5 - Security Configuring the DCS-5222L with a Router D-Link’s DCS-5222L is a versatile and cost effective Network Camera offering both video and audio monitoring. It can also serve as a powerful surveillance system in security applications. The DCS-5222L can be used with any wired or 802.11n/g wireless router. This section explains how to view the camera from either the Internet or from inside your internal network.
Section 5 - Security 1. Assign a Local IP Address to Your Camera Run the setup wizard from the CD included with the DCS-5222L. Follow the steps in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-5222L. The camera will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Write down this IP Address for future reference. 2. View the Network Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web Browser Open a Web browser.
Section 5 - Security The Setup > Network page displays the port settings for your camera. If necessary, these ports can be changed if they are already in use by other devices (e.g. in a multiple camera environment). Note: Both the HTTP port and RTSP port are required to be opened for the DCS-5222L.
Section 5 - Security Router Set-Up and Installation The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DIR-655 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Refer to the router’s user manual for more information on router operation and configuration. 3. Access the Router with Your Web Browser If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address.
Section 5 - Security Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. The Static IP Address will also allow you to access your camera attached to your router over the Internet. 4.
Section 5 - Security Repeat the previous steps adding the port 554 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled. Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports to conserve bandwidth. Check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DCS-5222L. 1. What is Remote Access? How do I enable it? Remote Access allows you to access your camera from any PC connected to the Internet through a web browser. This lets you view your camera feed and manage your camera’s settings when you’re away from home.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting 3. In addition to using mydlink.com, is there another way to access my camera remotely over the Internet? Yes, you can access your camera over the Internet through the following URL after successfully installing your camera through the Camera Installation Wizard: http://[mydlink No.].mydlink.com For example, if your camera’s mydlink No. was 12345678, you would be able to access your camera remotely by opening your web browser and going to http://12345678.mydlink.com.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting 7. Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear through out the image? It could be that the CMOS sensor (a square panel situated behind the lens that measures the light signals and changes it into a digital format so your computer can present it into an image that you are familiar with) has become overloaded when it has been exposed to bright lights such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting • • • • • Do not install this camera next to or in front of an air conditioner outlet or vent. Do not install this camera close to wireless devices with high frequencies as the PIR is easily affected by RF radiation. The PIR functions at best when detecting lateral movements. Radial movements cannot be detected as well as lateral movements. Do not install this camera directly under an extreme bright light. The PIR cannot fully suppress a bright white light.
Appendix A - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows® 7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Seach box) At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
Appendix A - Networking Basics Statically Assign an IP Address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: Step 1 Windows® 7- Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. Windows® Vista - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections. Windows XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
