10 Why can’t I access the Internet Camera from a

Web browser?

The possible cause might be the IP Address for the Internet Camera is already being

used by another device. To correct the possible problem, you need to first disconnect the

Internet Camera from the network. Then run the PING utility (follow the instructions in the

section titled “PING Your IP Address”. If there is a reply, it indicates that there is another

device on the network with the same IP address. You will need to run the Install Wizard

again and change the IP address of the camera.

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 directly to

the unit, utilizing a standard Crossover Cable, and run the PING utility. If the problem is not

solved, the Internet Camera might be faulty.
