How to add CNet IP Surveillance cameras to your

network, configure breach manager and store images

to NAS?

Adding a CIC-901W camera to an existing network

Assumption is that the network already has a wireless router and connected to the

Internet. The components needed are the IP Camera and the Network Attached

storage device.

The CNet cameras have their Camera software on the CD shipped with

each unit. Please note that wireless camera CIC-901W needs to be first

connected to the network via an Ethernet cable so SSID of the unit can

be configured to match the one from the wireless router on the network.

 Install and run the camera software.

 IPCam software will search and find the camera on the network

 Configure IP address of the camera to be DHCP or assign a static

IP address matching your network.

 Assign new http port or accept default port number 80

 Click submit to save settings

 Click update for thr software to find the camera again

 Double click on he found camera to bring up its web interface.

To configure the camera settings click on :

To take a snapshot image and save to the system or to network

To start a recording and save to the system or network

To go into the camera configuration settings

To view multiple cameras at the same time

To set the SSID of the wireless camera click on the

icon. Go to

network settings. Enable wireless and choose static or DHCP for IP

assignment. When IP is set click on the wireless tab and change the

SSID to match that of the wireless router on your network.

After submitting the changes that were made, the camera is ready to be

deployed. Now all wireless systems can access the camera on the

network.

Advanced settings

Camera can be configured to detect motion and alarm via FTP or E-mail

a captured image when triggered by motion. To access advanced

settings click on the

icon. The camera can be configured to FTP, E-

mail images on motion detection. It can send a TCP message and it can

receive trigger signal from external alarm systems as well as send trigger

signal to other existing alarm systems. For example if there are door

sensors that activate a siren when door is opened, camera can also

receive that signal through the GPIO ports and start capturing images

and send E-mail notification. Or we can configure the camera to

activate an external alarm system/siren when motion is detected.

FTP settings windows allows for entering the IP address of the FTP

server and the username and password the user needs to use to access

that server.

Mail setting window allows for entering the E-mail server and user

information.

Mail Server box should have the IP address of the mail server. This is

the outgoing/SMTP mail server of your service provider.

The next boxes are the user name and password associated with that

account. Mail sender is your e-mail address and the mail receiver box is

the e-mail of the person receiving the alarm notification.

GPIO setting window allows for configuring the GPIO ports on the back

of the camera.

TCP Msg page is for configuring the breach manager to send a message

to a server upon receiving a trigger signal. This trigger could be motion,

DI or DO signals.

The breach manager window is where all alarm control settings are. We

can have up to 4 scenarios (breach ID 0 to 3). For example we can have

breach ID 0 to be for Motion as the trigger and FTP for the action. In

other words we are saying to the camera that upon detecting a motion,

send and image captured at that moment to the FTP server identified in

the FTP server page. Or breach ID 1 can be to send an e-mail when a

motion is detected.

Storing Images to a Network Attached Storage for local and remote

access.

The NAS enclosure we used for this test is the CNet CLD-221P a NAS

enclosure with print server capability. It supports samba, NFS, FTP,

iTunes and Bitorrent. The LAN disk when powered up the first time

provides default user of admin and guest-share. Users can use the add

users menu to add users to the NAS and create private folders for each

user. This private user folder can be used for the location of FTPed

images from the camera. For accessing these images from a remote

location:

1- Forward ftp port 21 to the IP address of the NAS enclosure on the

router. In our tests we use CWR-854 VPN router.

2- Use an FTP client software to access user private folder created on

the NAS device and view images.

Please note that the default ftp folder for the NAS enclosure is the guest-

share folder. You can also set the camera to FTP images to the guest-

share folder by using guest-share as the user and no password. When

guest-share folder is used, users can use their browser to

ftp://WAN IP

of your router to access ftped images.

CIC-901L implementation is exactly the same as CIC-901W. The only

difference is the lack of wireless capability on CIC-901.
