Accessing the Network Camera

Check Network Settings

The camera can be connected either before or immediately after the software installation. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the configuration page, including entering the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and DNS. Ask the network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail information.

Add Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access

The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter of prudent security practice. For first time use, the user name and password for the Administrator are assigned as “admin/admin”. After the Administrator changes the Administrator password, the web browser will display an authentication window to confirm the new password. Once the password is set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. If the Administrator’s password is lost, the only option is to restore the original factory default settings.

The Administrator can set up a maximum of ten (10) user accounts. Users will be able to access the Network Camera, but will not be allowed to access system configurations.

Authentication

To access the camera's live view, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the camera. A dialog window will pop requesting a username and password. As stated on the previous page, for the default username and password for the Administrator are assigned as "admin/admin". For accounts other than the administrator's account, the user can choose to remember the password for future convenience. It is not recommended to check this box when viewing the camera feed from a public computer.

Installing the Plug-In

For the initial access to the camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt the administrator for permission to install a new plug-in for on Internet Explorer. Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user's PC or notebook. If the highest security level is set, the computer may prohibit any installation and execution attempt. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to display the video in the browser.

Click on to proceed. If the web browser does not allow the administrator to continue the installation, check the Internet security option and lower the security levels or contact the networking supervisor or IT for help.

NOTE – If an error occurred or the plug-in fails to install, it is because the version of the Electronic Signature is newly released and the VeriSign has not been submitted to Microsoft Windows update for validation. Therefore, plug-in will not have its root certificate. If IE discovers that there is no root certificate after the user's PC connects to the camera, it will automatically redirect to VeriSign Web site to download and install the latest root certificate to make the installation successfully. If the user's computer is able to connect to camera but unable to access the internet, then the installation will fail because the computer will not be able to download the latest root certificate. This problem can be resolved if computer can be connect to the internet and the camera at the same time and will not recur when Windows update patches become available.

Wireless

These settings control how a Network Camera interacts with a wireless network. Users can identify the wireless network and enable wireless encryption.

NOTE – This function is only available for WCB models.

Basic Settings

Network Name (SSID) - The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name used to identify the wireless signal emitted from a wireless camera. It is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long.

Wireless devices have a default SSID set by the factory. Brickcom wireless products use Brickcom as the default name. It is recommended for users to rename their SSID to something unique in order to distinguish their wireless device from surrounding wireless networks.

NOTE - Be careful when including personal information when naming the SSID as it is able by anyone browsing for wireless networks.

Brickcom

Security - Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication. A network encrypted with WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP because WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes through the airwaves, it is recommended to enable the highest level of encryption supported by the network equipment.

Site Survey – Survey the local area for available wireless networks. The user should select their Local Area Network (LAN) from the Site Survey List.

WEP- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a basic encryption method which transmits network broadcast messages using radio signals. It is not as secure as WPA.
