Connections
Antenna
Two antennas are included with the
DCS-5300G
. 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.
The Ethernet cable included with the
DCS-5300G
Internet Camera
is a Category 5
“straight through” cable.
This is the recommended
cable type when the camera is physically connected to a 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet network hub or switch.

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-5300G
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 132)

Hardware Installation
Connect to an Ethernet Network
If you are connecting the
DCS-5300G
to a
wired
Ethernet network, connect an
Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector
located on the Internet Camera’s back
panel and attach it to the network.
If you are connecting the
DCS-5300G
to a
802.11g wireless
Ethernet network, attach
the two wireless antennas to the antenna
connectors on the back panel of the
DCS-5300G
.
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
12V
1.5A
) 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,
which allow the Internet Camera to be
securely mounted to the ceiling, or any wall.
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.

Installation Wizard
After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the
DCS-5300G
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.
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
Installation Wizard
and the
IP
surveillance
software.
Installing the Installation Wizard program
Insert the CD that is included with the
DCS-5300G
Internet Camera
. The
DCS-5300G
installation menu will start up automatically from the CD. If the CD
does not start up automatically (this function may be disabled in the Windows
operating system), simply access the CD from Windows and click on the
autorun.exe program to access the installation menu shown below:
