Testing the DCS-5300G Internet

Camera

The window in the center of your browser is the camera image window. You

should now see a video image and hear the audio over your computer speakers

from the

DCS-5300G

. If you are having problems please consult the

FAQ

section of this manual (page 127).

Open your Internet browser and

type in the IP address of the

DCS-5300G

. In this example the

address is:

http://192.168.0.146

(your

DCS-5300G

may have a dif-

ferent IP address based on what

you found in the

Installation

Wizard

program.)

When the Internet Camera is used for the first time, it is highly

recommended that the Administrator set the

Administrator’s Password

to constrain user access to the Internet Camera since the Default

settings are Null String (no password). Once the Password is defined,

only the Administrator has access to the management of the

Internet

Camera. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the

security features of the Internet Camera will not be enabled until the

Administrator Password

is defined.

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized use of the Internet

Camera, the

Administrator

has the exclusive privilege to access the

System

Administration

settings to allow users entry and authorize privileges for all

users. The Internet Camera supports multi-level password protection/access

to the Internet Camera that can be restricted to defined users who have a

User

Name

and

User Password,

which is assigned by the Administrator.

The Administrator can release a public user name and password so that when

remote users access the Internet Camera they will have the right to view the

image transmitted by the Internet Camera.

At this point it is highly recommended that you click on the

Configuration

button

on the Home screen, and then the

Tools

tab to bring you to the

Admin

screen.

Enter a

password

for security purposes.

DCS-5300G

can be used with any wired

or 802.11b wireless router. This section explains how to view the camera from

either the Internet or from inside your internal network.

SETTING UP THE DCS-5300G FOR USE BEHIND A ROUTER

Installing a

DCS-5300G

Internet Camera on your network is an easy 4–step

procedure:

c

Assign a local IP Address to your Internet Camera

d

View the Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web browser

e

Access the Router with Your Web browser

f

Open Virtual Server Ports for Your Router (Enable Remote Viewing)

This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing

your camera behind a router and enable remote video viewing.

For the basic

setup of the

DCS-5300G

, follow the steps outlined in the

Quick Installation

Guide

.

After you have completed the setup of the

DCS-5300G

outlined in the

Quick

Installation Guide

you will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP

Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more

PCs, the IP Address assigned to the Internet Camera will be a local IP Address.

This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is

configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.

Run the

Installation Wizard

program from the CD included with the

DCS-5300G

. Follow the steps in the

Quick Installation Guide

to configure the

DCS-5300G

. The camera will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to

be recognized by the router.

Write down this IP Address for future reference.

browser

Viewing the Video on the browser to test the connection

Click on the

Configuration

button on the left side of the display. Scroll to the

bottom of the Network Configuration page to display the ports used by HTTP

and Streaming audio and video.

This is the IP Address

assigned to your camera.

Write it down for later use.

192.168.0.101 is only an

example. You will probably

have a different IP Address.

Run your Internet Explorer Web browser. In the address bar, type in the IP

Address that was assigned to the Internet Camera by the

Installation Wizard

program. The

DCS-5300G

Home Page appears with a window displaying live

video from the camera. You are able to view this screen from any PC running

Internet Explorer on your LAN.

Click on the

Router Set-Up and Installation

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network.

The D-Link DI-614+ is used as an example to clarify the configuration process.

Configure the initial settings of the DI-614+ by following the steps outlined in the

DI-614+

Quick Installation Guide

Access Your Router on Your Web Browser

If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have a dynamically

assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address

can change from time to time depending on your ISP.

A dynamic WAN IP Address

identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet.

To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the

Status

menu on

your router and locate the WAN information for your router (as shown on the

next page).

The WAN IP Address will be listed.

This will be the address that

you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet.

Be sure to uncheck the

Reset the IP address at next boot

button at the top of

the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP

address when you restart your computer.

These are the port settings

for your camera. If necessary,

these ports can be changed

if they are already in use by

other devices (e.g. in a mul-

tiple camera environment).
