PTZ PoE Internet Camera Installation

1. Can the PTZ PoE Internet Camera be used outdoors?

The PTZ PoE Internet Camera is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case for outdoor use

but it is not recommended.

2. When physically connecting the PTZ PoE Internet Camera to a network, what network cabling is required?

The PTZ PoE Internet Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking

solutions.

3. Can the PTZ PoE Internet Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?

No, the PTZ PoE Internet Camera is used only on an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The D-Link DSB-C110, DSB-

C310, can be used as a PC Camera (Webcam).

4. Can the PTZ PoE Internet Camera be connected to the network if it consists only of private IP addresses?

The PTZ PoE Internet Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP addresses.

5. Can the PTZ PoE Internet Camera be installed and work if a ﬁrewall exists on the network?

If a ﬁrewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data communication. The

DCS-5610

uses port 5002 for

streaming audio and port 5003 for streaming video. These ports (or the ports you have speciﬁed in the

Advanced

Tab

in the Conﬁguration screen) need to be opened on the ﬁrewall.

6. Why am I unable to access the PTZ PoE Internet Camera from a web browser?

If a router or ﬁrewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the

DCS-5610

may not be conﬁgured on the router or

ﬁrewall. To correct the problem, you

need to determine if the

DCS-5610

is behind a router or ﬁrewall and if the router

or ﬁrewall is properly conﬁgured for the ports the

DCS-5610

is using. Refer to Page 28 for help in opening the correct

ports on a router or ﬁrewall for use with the

DCS-5610

. Other possible problems might be due to the network cable.

Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface of the product by connecting a local computer to the unit,

utilizing a Ethernet crossover cable. If the problem is not solved the PTZ PoE Internet Camera might be faulty.

Section 5 - Frequently Asked Questions

7. Why does the PTZ PoE Internet Camera work locally but not externally?

• This might be caused by network ﬁrewall protection. The setting of the ﬁrewall may need to be changed in order for the

PTZ PoE Internet Camera to be accessible outside of your local LAN. Check with the Network Administrator for your

network.

• Make sure that your PTZ PoE Internet Camera isn’t conﬂicting with any Web server you may have running on your

network.

• The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the conﬁguration of the router settings allows the PTZ

PoE Internet Camera to be accessed outside of your local LAN.

8. I connected the PTZ PoE Internet Camera directly to a computer with a cross-over Ethernet cable and received

a Windows error upon running the installation Wizard?

•

This Windows error will occur if the PTZ PoE Internet Camera is connected to a computer that is not properly

conﬁgured with a valid IP address. Turn off DHCP from the Network Settings in Windows and conﬁgure the

computer with a valid IP address or connect the camera to a router with DHCP enabled.

• This error can also occur if the

Installation Wizard

icon is clicked on more than once from the setup wizard.

9. Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem?

The video images might be noisy if the PTZ PoE Internet Camera is used in a very low light environment. To solve this

issue you need more lighting.

10. The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I improve the image quality?

• Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set above 256 colors. Using 16 or 256 colors on your

computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image appear to be of poor quality.

• The conﬁguration on the PTZ PoE Internet Camera image display is incorrect. Through the

Advanced>Image Setup

section of the Web management you need to adjust the image related parameters such as brightness, white

balance and power line frequency for ﬂuorescent light.

Check your IP address

After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a

DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on

Start

>

Run

. In the run box type

cmd

and click

OK

.

At the prompt, type

ipconﬁg

and press

Enter

.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and

the default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter

installation, security settings, and the settings

on your access point. Some firewall software

programs may block a DHCP request on newly

installed adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee

or administrator to verify their wireless network settings.

Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/access point, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow

the steps below:

Step 1

Windows

XP - Click on

Start

>

Control Panel

>

Network Connections

.

Windows

®

2000 - From the desktop, right-click

Step 4

Click

Use the following IP address

and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN

IP address on your access point.

Example: If the internet camera’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP

address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the

number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same

as the LAN IP address of your access point (192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your access point (192.168.0.1).

The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your

ISP.
