ActEyes IP Cam
Training
Part 1:
Camera Setup
Network Setup Overview
Each IP Cam on the network will need its own IP address to
be assigned. This address must be in the same range as the
other devices on your network but can not be the same as
any other device.
IP address will be in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy
- an example of a common address is 192.168.1.10
- as a general rule XXX will be the same for all devices on your
network. Only YYY will change from device to device.
Understanding your current network
In order to determine an appropriate IP address for your
camera you will need to identify your current network
configuration.
Open a DOS window by Clicking <START> then <RUN>
Now type “cmd” into the run line.
For Windows Vista just type “cmd” into the search bar
after clicking the Start button.
A short video of this process will be on the next slide
Opening a DOS window
Understanding your current network
Now that you have a DOS window open you can find out
what the IP range and settings are on your network.
Type “ipconfig /all” at the DOS prompt and make note of
your IP address, Gateway, and DNS server.
A short video of this process will be on the next slide
Using the “Ipconfig” command
Understanding your current network
In our example the IP address of the computer was
192.168.2.103. So our camera should be 192.168.2.xxx
where xxx is any number from 1-255 that is not already
taken on the network.
You can determine if an IP address is already taken by using
the “ping” command in DOS.
Just type “ping 192.168.2.150” to see if this address is
already taken.
A short video of this process will be on the next slide
Using the “ping” command
Understanding your current network
By now you should have an IP address for you camera, a
gateway, and the DNS server information.
For Example
Camera IP = 192.168.2.150
Gateway = 192.168.2.1
DNS = 192.168.1.1
That is all you need to know to setup the IP camera for your
network.
Configuring your IP Camera
Carefully remove your IP camera and all accessories from
the box and Connect the cameras power and network cable.
• A power adaptor is supplied with our products for
connecting the cameras power to a standard electrical
outlet.
• An Ethernet cable is also supplied with our product
and should be used to connect the camera directly to a
PC or laptop for initial network configuration.
Configuring your IP Camera
Now that your PC is directly connected to the camera via
Ethernet cable you can begin configuring the internal
software for your network.
• Double click the IP detect program from the installation CD.
• Click “Discover Devices” until a device appears in the listing. It may
take several minutes for the camera to appear in the listing.
• Click on the camera in the list and change the IP address, Gateway,
and DNS1 listing to the numbers you made note of previously.
• Change the “Network Mask” to 255.255.0.0.
• After all the numbers have been input click the “Change Parameter”
button.
Configuring your IP Camera
• It can take several minutes for the camera to update the settings and
reboot.
• Click “Discover Devices” until the camera appears in the listing again
and make sure all the settings are correct before disconnecting the
camera
• After you are sure the new network settings have been accepted by the
camera you can detach the cables and move the camera to its permenant
location.

Test the camera on the network
• Now you can move the camera to its final location and connect it to the
power and network. I would recommend not permanently attaching the
camera until after you have tested it thoroughly.
• After the camera has been connected to your network you can attempt to
access the cameras built in web server from a PC or laptop on the network.
• Just open Internet Explorer and type “http://<cam IP address>” in
the address bar. <cam IP address> should be replaced with the IP
address you gave the camera in previous steps.
• You should see the built in web interface in your web browser. The
default User Name and Password is “admin”. Enter the word “admin”
for both the User Name and Password blank.
