1.Overview of CamCon Camera Server
1.1 About CamCon Camera Server(CCS)
CamCon Camera Server is the next generation of digital, modular, and
networked remote surveillance system. Besides providing functions
such as real time monitoring, video recording, snap shooting and video
playback, CCS also enables the expansion of external storage devices
via network connection, making dynamic increase of the storage
capacity extremely easy.
Digital
Digitalizing remote surveillance systems is the trend of the market
since it provides lots of benefits to the end users. With digitalized
image files, users can now process, store, analyze and utilize enormous
amount of information in the ways which were not possible before.
Networked
Because of the networked nature of the server, all major tasks,
including monitoring the cameras, administering the server, and
storing image files, can now be performed via the ubiquitous web
browser. In addition, the CCS can be setup to use ADSL and DDNS
services, and allow the administrator to monitor and administer the
server remotely via the Internet.
Modular
Remote surveillance system’s functions can be modularized to three
major parts: image capturing, data storing, and monitoring. The
combination of a CamCon Camera Server with a remote storage device,
and a remote monitoring center provides a solution that makes the
most effective use of hardware.
CamCon Camera Server FCS-5004: A 4-Channel Surveillance
Server with management functions.
CamCon Camera Server FCS-5008: A 8-Channel Surveillance
Server with management functions.

1. Installing CamCon Camera Server
2.1 Default Network Configuration of the Server
By default, the CCS is set up to obtain its IP address and other TCP/IP
network protocol settings from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is
found on the network, the CamCon Camera Server will use the following
default settings instead:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Please login in the server with the default administrator account using
the following information:
User name: administrator
Password: admin
If you want to reset the administrator password and network
configuration to the factory default settings, use a sharp object to press
the configuration reset switch located in the front of the server for 5
seconds. You will hear beeps when the reset has been completed.
2.2 Installing the CamCon Camera Server
Connect cameras to the CamCon Camera Server first, and then follow the
instructions to install your server. If you are not familiar with network
settings, consult your Internet service provider (ISP) or network
administrator to get the details of the network configuration.
