Hardware Installation 

Please verify that your product package 

contains all the accessories listed in the 

foregoing Package Contents.  Depending 

on the user’s application, an Ethernet 

cable may be needed. The Ethernet cable 

should meet the specs of UTP Category 5 

and not exceed 100 meters in length. 

  Connect the power adapter jack to the 

Network Camera before plugging in to the 

power socket. This will reduce the risk of 

accidental electric shock. 

Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs 

will blink between green and red for a few times. If self-test passes, the LEDs will shut 

off and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation. If 

self-test fails the red LED will blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for 

troubleshooting. 

The Network Camera will first detect Ethernet. If it does not connect to Ethernet, the 

Network Camera will try WLAN. During the searching and connecting process to the 

wireless access point or station, the LED of the Network Camera will keep red. Until 

the Network Camera is connected to the other wireless device, the LED will become 

green and flash. Operating in either network mode, the green LED will flash every 

second as heartbeat to indicate alive. 

To install in Ethernet 

Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the 

Ethernet cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to be steady green after 

self-test, go to next paragraph “Software Installation”. If the Ethernet is not available, 

the Network Camera will switch to wireless LAN mode.
