3.1 Logging On

With new camera purchases, there should be no problem with the login/

logon procedures. Remember, however, that if you have obtained this

camera from another party after initial installation, then you’ll probably

need to reset the password.

1. With the camera powered on, launch your Web browser and enter

the IP address of the camera in the address bar.

2. When the Internet Camera login

 screendisplays(right),entera

username and password and

click “OK.” As before, the “User

Name” and “Password” defaults

are “admin” and “1234.” NOTE:

If this login screen doesn’t

display, go back and re-enter

the IP address as necessary.

Once you’ve logged in properly,

your browser should display the

 “ThissitemightrequirethefollowingActiveXcontrol...”message,as

shown below.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

3. The NSC18-WN Pan/Tilt Network Camera

 requiresaspecialActiveXcontrol(plug-in)

in order to work properly. Right-click on the

message in the address bar to display an

 optionsmenu(right),thenclick“InstallActiveXControl...”tocontinue.

4.WhentheSecurityWarningscreendisplays(below),click“Install.”

You should now be able to view live images on the Camera screen

(see3.2CameraSettingsbelow).

NOTE: If one or both of the messages

camerarequires(refertoSection6

Specications)oryoumaynothave

MicrosoftDirectXinstalled(whichyoucandownload

fromMicrosoft’sWebsite:www.microsoft.com).In

some cases, your computer displays the image from

the camera correctly but you still see these messages.

If this happens, you can just ignore them.

 “320x240”@ MJPG. Higher resolution provides more details in the

camera image but consumes more bandwidth, which will make the

image refresh very slowly. If you have a slow Internet connection, you

may want to use a lower resolution to make the image refresh faster.

NOTE:“320x240”mayreducetheimagetoomuchonahigh-res
