Installation Wizard
After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the
DCS-
2000
Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to configure and operate
the camera. The first step is to install the
Installation Wizard
from the CD.
Installation Wizard
will allow you to configure the Internet Camera to your
network.
After the
Installation Wizard
software program is completed, you will have an
operating and controllable Internet Camera. From your Internet Explorer Web
browser you will be able to access the video and sound from the Internet camera.
The camera has a built-in Web server. This Web server will allow the camera to
access the Internet without being attached to a computer and permits users to
view the video and audio remotely.
After running the
Installation Wizard
, you will be able to operate the
DCS-2000
and view the camera remotely
through Internet Explorer 6.x or above.
However it is necessary to install the
IP surveillance
software from the enclosed
CD to create a truly powerful monitoring and surveillance system. The following
section will show in detail the installation of the
Installation Wizard
and the
IP
surveillance
software.
Installing the Installation Wizard program
Insert the CD that is included with the
DCS-2000
Internet Camera
. The
DCS-2000
installation menu will start up automatically from the CD. If the CD
does not start up automatically (the Windows operating system can turn this
function off, for example), go to Start > Run > Type D:\Autorun (if D:\ is your cd-
rom drive) to access the installation menu shown below:
