8. 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
7. Go to point 8 to finish the initial set-up and establish the connection to the network camera.

9. 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.

English
10. 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.

HTTP Port
The standard port for HTTP transmission is 80. As an alternative, this port can be assigned a value in the
range of 1024 ~ 65535. If several network cameras are connected in the same subnetwork, then each
camera should be given a unique HTTP port of its own.
RTSP Port
The standard port for RTSP transmission is 554. As an alternative, this port can be assigned a value in the
range of 1024 ~ 65535. If several network camera are connected in the same subnetwork, then each
camera should be given a unique RTSP port of its own.
HTTPS port
The standard port for HTTPS transmission is 443.
Apply the settings made with “Save”.
76
English
SDK port (control port)
The standard port for SDK transmission is 8000. Communication port for internal data. As an alternative,
this port can be assigned a value in the range of 1025 ~ 65535. If several IP cameras are located in the
same subnetwork, then each camera should have its own unique SDK port.
12.3.2.3 DDNS
DDNS
DynDNS or DDNS (dynamic domain name system entry) is a system that can update domain name entries
in real time. The network camera is equipped with an integrated DynDNS client that updates the IP
address independently via a DynDNS provider. If the network camera is located behind a router, we
recommend using the DynDNS function of the router.
The following diagram offers an overview of accessing and updating the IP address using DynDNS.

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.
