4.3. Installing the security camera

The IP security camera can be installed in a  xed location using the stand supplied.

4.3.1. Fitting stand to camera

Hold the backplate of the foot against the surface of the chosen installation location and use

a pencil to mark the surface with the location of the two drill holes.

To bore the corresponding holes you will need a 6 mm masonry drill for stone or concrete

surfaces or a 3 mm drill if mounting on wood. After drilling, insert the wall plugs (supplied)

in the holes so they site  ush with the surface. Then screw on the foot using the screws

supplied in the assembly kit.

4.3.2. Fixing the security camera

Place the camera’s threaded tripod bolt onto the mounting plate of the foot and screw the

camera tight using the tripod bolt, then tilt the camera on the tripod bolt into the required

position.

Note:

• The security camera should not be installed directly beside electronic equipment

as this may result in interference. Should you experience picture interference, test

the camera in a diﬀ erent location  rst.

• Choose a location to install the security camera which does not have sunlight falling

on the lens.

Note:

• Please be sure to operate the camera with the WiFi antenna attached at all times,

even if the WiFi connection is not being used, as the camera may otherwise become

damaged.

5. Installing the security camera

5.1. System requirements

Operating system: the software contained on the CD supplied is only suitable for Windows

systems. However, browser access may be used to set up and control the IP security camera

via Mac OS, Linux or other operating systems also.

Operating systems: Windows 2000 (SP 4), Windows XP (SP 2), Vista, 7, 8

Processor: 2.0 GHz or higher

RAM memory: 512 MByte or higher

Network card: 10M or higher

Graphics card: 512 MByte or higher

Internetbrowser: Internet Explorer (from version 7), Firefox (from version 3),

Google Chrome, Safari, Opera (newest version)

Display resolution: 1024x768 or higher

5.2. Installing the hardware

The IP security camera is connected to an existing computer network via a router

(not supplied). A router is generally a device which connects your computer or local area

network to the Internet.

In order to undertake the basic settings to the security camera, it must  rst be connected

directly to a router using the network cable supplied.

12

5.3. Installing the software

Insert the software CD supplied into your computer’s CD/DVD drive. The selection menu

shown below should then appear.

In the event that the menu does not launch automatically, go to the drive overview on your

computer and click on the CD/DVD drive icon. To launch, double click on the

CDMenu/CDMenu.exe program.

Click on “supra IPCam” to install the supra IPCam Con g program. Follow the on screen

instructions until the software has been fully installed.

When installation is complete, you will  nd the program under “All programs” labelled supra

IPCam Con g.

With the option “Manual” in the start menu on the software CD, the user guide can be

opened on the computer screen.

If you don’t have a quali ed program to show PDF documents on your computer, you may

also install the program “Adobe Acrobat Reader”.

13

5.4. Setting up the security camera

Make sure that the security camera is connected to both the router and the power source.

Then open the program supra IPCam Con g.

Within the program, go to “Start search” to display a list of available security cameras.

From the list, select the camera you want to set up or select.

Use the “Address” function to display the chosen camera’s network data.

14

The camera is installed automatically on the network providing the “Use DCHP” option is

activated and the router being used also supports DHCP (and this is activated). However you

can also specify the network data manually if, say, automatic con guration does not work.

If the port being used by the security camera has to be changed, specify the new port

number.

To specify the network data manually,  rst deactivate “Use DHCP”. This activates the input

 elds for static con guration.

Under Static con guration, enter the security camera’s network data. You will generally  nd

this information via your computer’s or router’s network settings. Further information on

network setup can also be found in Section 6.5, “Network Settings”.

Click “Apply” to accept the amended settings. You will then be asked to enter the

administrator’s user name and password. At shipment, the user account is set to “admin” (no

password).

To access a camera from the IPCam Con g camera list in your browser, click the “Browser”

menu item. The camera’s log on page will then be displayed in your standard browser

window (see Chapter 7), and you can either call up the camera picture or specify further

settings for the camera.

Click “Manual” to open these user instructions on the screen.

The “Version” menu items can be used to access information on the selected camera and the

software.

Note:

• The default port setting should only be changed in exceptional circumstances.

15

5.5 Installing under Mac OS X

Begin by installing the security camera as per the manual instructions up to (and including)

Section 5.2. To be able to con gure the camera on your Mac OS X system, you  rst have

to establish your router’s IP address. Once you have this you can then access your router’s

con guration screen. Next, you will need the security camera’s IP address from the settings

information. This address then allows the IPC-1 con guration screen to be opened and the

camera settings to be programmed.

Establishing the router‘s IP address

To identify the router’s IP address on your Mac OS X system please click the symbol

on the menu bar.

Now click “System Settings” followed by “Network”. Select the current network connection

on the left-hand side of the window. This can be identi ed by the green dot in front of it, in

this case it is “WiFi”. Click “Advanced“:

16

Now switch to the “TCP/IP” screen and you’ll  nd your router’s IP address under “Router”. In

the example below, the IP address is 192.168.16.1.

Establishing the security camera‘s IP address

Now open the Safari web browser and enter your router’s IP address in the “go to” window.

This will open the router’s con guration screen which will generally include a clickable

option called “DHCP table” or “DHCP reservation”. This will give you a list of all devices on the

network (see following example).

17

Please note that your router’s con guration screen layout may diﬀ er from our example.

This list includes the security camera described as “ipcam_xxx” (“ipcam_006E060241B6” in

the example above). Next to this is the camera’s IP address (in this instance 192.168.1.113).

Enter this address in a new browser window (Safari) to open the camera’s con guration

screen.

You can now enter the desired settings for the security camera as per Section 6 of these user

instructions and begin using the camera.

18

5.6. Internet access

To be able to access the security camera over the Internet you will  rst need the camera’s

Internet address (public IP address). You have four diﬀ erent ways of  nding out the relevant

IP address.

If a separate Internet address (domain) has been registered for the camera (see Section 6.8.,

DDNS Settings), this can be used to access the camera.

You can have the public IP address sent to you by email. To do this, follow the instructions in

Section 6.9., Email Settings.

Use your browser to go to the page http://supracam.net/ip.aspx and the local network’s IP

address will then be displayed (to do this you must use a computer on the same network to

which the camera is connected).

The public IP address can generally only be used to access the security camera from outside

the local network. To access the camera directly from the internal network, use the camera’s

local network address.

Access the camera via your browser using the address found. Accessing correctly will cause

the log on window in the camera software to open. The camera is shipped with the user

account set to “admin” (no password required).

Should an error occur while accessing via the Internet, this is probably due to your

computer’s  rewall preventing communication with the security camera. If this is the case

you will have to change the router settings in such a way as to allow the camera to be

accessed over the Internet.

The following example shows which settings have to be made to a router in order to be

able to connect to the security camera over the Internet. As router settings menus can vary

widely, it is not possible here to oﬀ er a detailed description of how to solve the problem in

all cases – please refer to your router’s documentation and look for how to enable speci c

devices to communicate with the router.

Essentially, to do this the security camera has to be allocated a new input port within the

router via which access is permitted. This newly allocated input port is then forwarded to the

camera.
