Once installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the

"Initial Access to the Network Camera" section for necessary checks and

configurations.

Initial Access to the Network Camera

Configure IP address

The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software

installation onto the Local Area Network. If DHCP is not used to assign an IP address,

use the DVTel Device Wizard to assign the fixed IP address and complete the network

settings, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and DNS. Ask

your network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail information. By

default, the Network Camera requires the Administrator to run installation every time

it reboots. If the network settings are to remain unchanged, disable the Install option.

Refer to “Network Settings” on the System Configuration page for details. If any setting

is entered incorrectly and cannot proceed to setting up the Network Camera, restore

the factory settings by following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the

Appendix.

Password Protection to prevent Unauthorized Access

The default Administrator’s password is blank and the Network Camera will not initially

ask for any password. The Administrator should immediately implement a new

password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s password

is saved, the Network Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before each

access. The Administrator can set up a maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each

user can access the Network Camera except to perform system configuration. Some

critical functions are exclusive for the Administrator, such as system configuration, user

administration, and software upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is

permanently assigned as “root.” Once the password is changed, the browser will

display an authentication window to ask for the new password. Once the password

is set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The

only option is to restore to the original factory default settings.
