Antenna

Two antennas are included with the

DCS-2100+

.

These are screwed onto the

antenna connectors on the back panel to provide a connection with a wireless

network.

Ethernet Cable Connector

The Internet Camera°s back panel features an

RJ-45

connector for connections

to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling. This network

port supports the

NWay protocol

, allowing the Internet Camera to automatically

detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network.

Reset Button

Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and held until the

Power LED flashes through its cycle twice.

A Factory reset is initiated when the reset button is pressed continuously for

5 seconds or when the Power LED changes from

green

to

red

for 2 cycles.

(For example you will see the LED turn to

red

twice, release the reset button

when the LED turns

red

the second time). The Power LED will begin to

flash indicating that the Internet Camera°s settings are reverting back to the

factory settings, then turn back to

green

.

The Ethernet cable included with the

DCS-2100+

Internet Camera

is a Category 5

±straight through² cable.

This is the recommended

cable type when the camera is physically connected to a 100 Mbps

Fast Ethernet network hub or switch.

DC Power Connector

The DC power input connector is located on the

DCS-2100+

Internet Camera°s

back panel and is labeled

12VDC

with a single socket to supply power to the

Internet Camera.

I/O Connector

The

DCS-2100+

provides a terminal block with two pairs of connectors situated

on the back panel. One pair is for input and the other is for output. The I/O

connectors provide the physical interface to send and receive digital signals to

a variety of external alarm devices.

Please refer to the Appendix (Page 93)

in this manual for detailed information.

Connections (continued)

Located on the bottom panel of the Internet Camera, the socket is used to con-

nect the camera stand to the Internet Camera by attaching the screw head on

the camera stand to the Internet Camera.

The Power LED is positioned to the right of the Internet Camera lens.

As soon

as the power adapter is connected to the Internet camera the power LED will

flash

red

and

several times, the

DCS-2100+

is conducting a self-test.

Upon passing the self-test the LED will turn

green

to indicate a good connection

to an Ethernet port or

red

to indicate no connection has been made.

Hardware Installation

Connect to an Ethernet Network

If you are connecting the

DCS-2100+

to a

wired

Ethernet network, connect an

Ethernet cable to the network cable

connector located on the Internet Camera°s

back panel and attach it to the network.

If you are connecting the

DCS-2100+

to a

802.11b wireless

Ethernet network, attach

the two wireless antennas to the antenna

connectors on the back panel of the

DCS-2100+

.

Attach the external power supply

Attach the external power supply to the DC

power input connector located on the

Internet Camera°s back panel (labeled

12VDC

) and connect it to your wall outlet.

The Internet Camera comes with a camera

stand with a swivel ball screw head that

can be attached to the Internet Camera

bottom socket cavity. Attach the camera

stand to the Internet Camera and station it

for your application. There are holes

located in the base of the camera stand

allowing the Internet Camera to be mounted

to the ceiling, or any wall securely.

Attaching the Internet Camera to the Camera Stand

When you have a proper connection, the LED will turn from

red

to

green

. The

light may cycle on and off and your computer may show an intermittent loss of

connectivity, this is normal until you have configured your Internet Camera.

Software Installation

After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the

DCS-2100+

Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to configure

and operate the camera.

The first step is to run the

IP Installer

program on the

CD.

IP Installer

allows you to use the Internet Camera with your Internet browser.

With the

IP Installer

program you can enter settings that permit the camera to

access the Internet directly or through your Ethernet network.

After the

IP Installer

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.

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 detail the installation of the

IP Installer

and the

IP

Surveillance

software.

Installing the IP Installer program

Insert the CD that is included with the

DCS-2100+

Internet Camera

.

The

DCS-2100+

installation menu will start up automatically from the CD. If the CD

does not startup automatically (the Windows operating system can turn this

function off, for example), simply access the CD from Windows and click on

the autorun.exe program to access the installation menu shown below:

Click

Wizard

button to activate the

installation Wizard.

IMPORTANT:

A hardware reset of the Internet Camera is now required to allow the

IP Installer

program to configure the camera correctly. To accomplish this reset, lightly insert

a paper clip (or a similar sized tool) into the reset hole on the back of the camera

(see page 6 for the location of the reset button.)

The LED on the front of the

camera will begin blinking red and green.

When it stops the blinking cycle

continue to hold in the reset button until a second cycle of blinking red and green

lights indicates a second reset cycle has completed.

This will take approximately

5-7 seconds.

The

IP Installer

will now show a MAC address for the

DCS-2100+

and an IP

address. This IP address may not be correct at this step in the installation.

The opening

IP Installer

screen will appear and

show a MAC address of the

DCS-2100+

and an

IP Address (which may or may not be correct

depending on what you have your

DCS-2100+

connected to.) If you have a DHCP* server on

your network, there will be a valid IP Address

displayed here.

*A DHCP server is a device that supplies IP

Addresses to its clients that are on the same

network.
