6. Inital 

start-up 

The network camera automatically detects whether a direct connection between the PC and camera 

should be made. A crossover network cable is not required for this. 

Direct connection of the network camera to a PC/laptop 

1.  Ensure that a CAT 5 network cable is used.  

2.  Connect the cable to the Ethernet interface of the PC/laptop and the network camera. 

3.  Connect the power supply to the network camera. 

4.  Configure the network interface of your PC/laptop to the IP address 192.168.0.2 default 

gateway to 192.168.0.1 

5.  Go to 8, to finish the initial set-up and establish the connection to the network camera. 

Connecting the network camera to a router/switch 

1.  Ensure that a CAT 5 network cable is used. 

2.  Connect the PC/laptop to the router/switch. 

3.  Connect the network camera to the router/switch. 

4.  Connect the power supply to the network camera. 

5.  If a DHCP server is available in your network, set the network interface of your PC/laptop to 

“Obtain an IP address automatically”. 

6.  If no DHCP server is available, configure the network interface of your PC/laptop to 

192.168.0.2 and the default gateway to 192.168.0.1

Accessing the network camera for the first time

The network camera is accessed for the first time using the IP Installer. 

After the installation wizard is started, it searches for all connected ABUS network cameras and 

video servers in your network. 

You can find the program on the included CD-ROM. Install the program on your PC and then run 

 it. 

If a DHCP server is available in your network, the IP address is assigned automatically for both the 

PC/laptop and the network camera.

If no DHCP server is available, the network camera automatically sets the following IP address: 

192.168.0.100. 

Your PC system must be located in the same IP subnetwork in order to establish communication with 

the network camera (PC IP address: e.g. 192.168.0.2). 

The standard setting for the network camera is “DHCP”. If no DHCP server is in operation in 

your network, then we recommend setting the IP address manually to a fixed value following 

initial access to the network camera.

8. Password prompt 

When delivered, an administrator password is already defined for the network camera. However, the 

administrator should define a new password immediately for security reasons. After the new 

administrator password is stored, the network camera asks for the user name and password every 

time it is accessed. 

The administrator account is set up in the factory as follows: User name “

admin

” and password 

12345

”. Each time the network camera is accessed, the browser displays an authentication window 

and asks for the user name and password. Should your individual settings for the administrator 

account no longer be accessible, please contact our technical support team. 

To enter a user name and password, proceed as follows: 

Open Internet Explorer and enter the IP address for the camera (e.g. “http://192.168.0.100”). 

You are then prompted for authentication: 

->

 You are now connected with the network camera and can see a video stream

Accessing the network camera over DDNS 

If the network camera is located behind a router, then access via DynDNS must be configured in the 

router. On the ABUS Security-Center homepage 

www.abus-sc.com

,

 you can find a description of DynDNS 

router configuration for common router models. 

The following diagram offers an overview of accessing a network camera behind a router via DynDNS.org.  

ABUS DDNS 

1.  To be able to use the ABUS DDNS function, you first need to set up an account at www.abus-

server.com. Please read the FAQs on this topic on the website. 

2.  Select the “Enable DDNS” checkbox and select “ABUS DDNS” as the DDNS type. 

3.  Apply the data with 

“Save”

. The IP address of your Internet connection is now updated every minute 

on the server. 

Port forwarding of all relevant ports (at least RTSP + HTTP) must be set up in the 

router in order to use DynDNS access via the router.

11.  Maintenance and cleaning 

11.1 Maintenance 

Regularly check the product's physical state, e.g. check for damage of the housing. 

If you suspect that safe operation cannot be guaranteed anymore, disconnect the product and ensure 

that it cannot be used by mistake. Remove the batteries. 

You can assume that safe operation is not possible anymore when 

the device shows visible damage, 

the device does not function anymore  

Please note:

The product is absolutely maintenance-free for you. There are no components on the 

inside of the product to be checked or services by you, never open it.  

11.2 Cleaning 

Wipe the product with a clean, dry cloth. If the device is very dirty, you can moisten the cloth with 

lukewarm water. 

Ensure that no liquids can get into the device. 

Do not use any chemical cleaners, since they could damage the housing surface or the 

screen (discolorations).

12. Disposal

Important: The EU Directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper return, treatment and 

recycling of used electronic devices. This symbol means that in the interest of 

environmental protection the device must be disposed of separately from household or 

industrial waste at the end of its service life in accordance with applicable local legal 

guidelines. Disposing of used devices can be done at official recycling centers in your 

country. Obey local regulations when disposing of material. Further details on returns 

(also for non-European countries) can be obtained at your local authority. Separate 

collection and recycling saves natural resources and ensures that all the provisions for 

protecting health and environment are observed when recycling the product.
