Software Installation

After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the
DCS-5300 Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to configure and
operate the camera. The first step is to run the IP Installer program on the CD.
IP Installer allows you to use the Internet Camera with your Internet browser.
With the IP Installer program you can enter settings that permit the camera to
access the Internet directly or through your Ethernet network.

After the IP Installer software program is completed, you will have an operating
and controllable Internet Camera. From your Internet Explorer Web browser
you will be able to access the video and sound from the Internet camera. The
camera has a built-in Web server. This Web server will allow the camera to
access the Internet without being attached to a computer and permits users to
view the video and audio remotely.
After running the IP Installer, you will be able to operate the DCS-5300 and
view the camera remotely through Internet Explorer 5.x and above.

However it is necessary to install the IP surveillance software from the enclosed
CD to create a truly powerful monitoring and surveillance system. The following
section will show in detail the installation of the IP Installer and the IP
surveillance
software.
