Fixed Dome Network Camera Installation
1. Can the Network Camera be used outdoors?
The Fixed Dome Network Camera is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case for outdoor use but it is not
recommended.
2. When physically connecting the Fixed Dome Network Camera to a network, what network cabling is
required?
The Fixed Dome Network Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking solutions.
3. Can the Fixed Dome Network Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?
No, the Fixed Dome Network Camera is used only on an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The D-Link DSB-C110, DSB-C310, can
be used as a PC Camera (Webcam).
4. Can the Fixed Dome Network Camera be connected to the network if it consists only of private IP
addresses?
The Fixed Dome Network Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP addresses.
5. Can the Fixed Dome Network Camera be installed and work if a firewall exists on the network?
If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data communication. The DCS-6110 uses port 5002 for streaming
audio and port 5003 for streaming video. These ports (or the ports you have specified in the Setup Tab in the Configuration screen)
need to be opened on the firewall.
6. Why am I unable to access the Fixed Dome Network Camera from a web browser?
If a router or firewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the DCS-6110 may not be configured on the router or firewall.
To correct the problem, you need to determine if the DCS-6110 is behind a router or firewall and if the router or firewall is properly
configured for the ports the DCS-6110 is using. Refer to Page 28 for help in opening the correct ports on a router or firewall for use
with the DCS-6110. Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable. Test the network
