After clicking Reboot, the main window of the Setup Wizard will appear again. Clicking on Access the selected camera will automatically launch the web browser and allow you to view your 9 camera's images. You can access and view your network camera's images via a web browser using two methods: 1. In your web browser's address bar, type in "http://IPAddressofCamera". 2. On the main page, of the Setup Wizard, click on Access the selected camera. You can also use the included software application to view, record, and playback the network camera's images. The example illustrated in the Appendix section that follows deals with setting up an IP address to view the network camera within your LAN. For an example of how to view your network camera outside of your existing LAN via the Internet, please refer to the section in the user's manual titled "How to View Your Camera via the Internet". If the image is blurry, this is most likely because the camera lens is out of focus. To focus the lens, gently rotate the lens in either direction until the desired level of focus is reached. Please Note: Do not aggressively turn or overturn the lens, as this could lead to an unscrewing or damaging of the lens. It is highly recommended that you install the network camera(s) before placing them in the desired physical location. The ActiveX control might be disabled. If you are viewing the images from Internet Explorer make sure ActiveX has been enabled in the Internet Options menu. Alternatively, you can use the Java Applet for viewing the required images. Example on How to Set the IP Address Manually The example shown here illustrates how to manually set an IP address using the Windows XP operating system. However, the procedure is similar for all other versions of Windows. When setting an IP address, you must make sure that the address you specify has the same first three octets (or segments) as the other devices on your LAN. In the figure on the previous page, the camera has the following IP address: 10.1.1.25. The address is comprised of four segments separated by periods. Each segment is called an "octet". All devices on your LAN must have the same first three octets, in this case "10.1.1". Therefore, all devices on your LAN must have IP addresses of the form "10.1.1.x", where "x" is a number between 0 and 254. When setting the IP address for the network camera, it is recommended (but not required) that you choose a number towards the end of the range between 0 and 254, excluding 254 itself. (Occasionally, the number 254 is used as the final segment for the default IP address of other devices.) Selecting a number towards the end of the range (preferably between 200 and 250) will help avoid conflicts with IP addresses that are already being used by other devices on the LAN. To determine the common octets/segments for your LAN settings, follow the steps outlined in the next two pages. a. Click on Start in the bottom left corner of your screen. Then click on My Network Places. a b. Click on View Network Connections. b c. In the Network Connections window, you should see an icon titled Local c Area Connection (or something similar). You can access this icon in two ways: a. by clicking or double-clicking on it, or b. by right-clicking on it and then clicking on Status from the resulting menu d. A window with the title Local Area Connection Status (or something similar) will d appear. Click on the Support tab. Under the heading Address Type, you will find an IP Address line and a Default Gateway line. These two lines will have IP addresses with the first three octets in common. Use this information to set the IP address and Gateway for your network camera. Use these common three octets as the first three octets for the IP address of your camera. The fourth octet will be a number between 0 and 254. ...
