1. INITIAL INSTALLATION
This IP Camera and its software are designed for Windows XP / Vista / 7. Please follow these instructions to install
and use your new device.
1.1
IMPORTANT: Before starting, connect the IP camera to your router via standard RJ45
network cable, and plug it into the mains supply. Your computer should already be
connected to the router (cable connection recommended).
IMPORTANT:
Before continuing, check the IP address of the PC or laptop that you are using. You can then use this information to
help you set the IP address of the camera, the Gateway and DNS Server.
There are two ways of doing this:
1. In XP click the network icon on your Windows Taskbar and choose the “Support” tab.

2.In the Windows Run Command window enter “cmd”
At the c: prompt type “ipconfig” and press the Enter key.
In this example the network range is 192.168.1.xxx and the IP address of the Gateway and DNS Server is 192.168.1.1.
1.2
Insert the software disk into your computer; the setup
wizard should load automatically.
If it does not auto run, you will need to view the
contents of your DVD (“My Computer” DVD-ROM)
and run “Setup.exe” to begin installation.
You will be asked to choose your language. Click “OK”
to continue.

1.3
You will be presented with the IP Camera Manager
setup wizard. The wizard will guide you through the
Storage Options IP Camera software installation
process.
Click “Next” to continue.
Before you can install the software and use your new IP
camera, you must accept the licence agreement.
1.4
Next you will need to choose an installation location for
the software. You can leave this at the default if you
wish:
C:\Program Files\Storage Options\IP Camera Manager
Click “Next” to continue. You will then be asked where
you would like the program shortcuts to appear on
your Start menu.
You may change this location or leave it at the default.
Click “Next” to continue.
1.5
Once you have completed installation, you have access
to two new programs:
Storage Options IP Camera Manager
Storage Options IP Camera Finder
The first time you run the Manager, you will be
prompted to register the software.
Click the “Register” button, then enter your
Registration Name and Registration Code; these can be
found on the label of the software CD or CD Sleeve.
Click the “Register” button. This will validate your
software and remove the 60 minute time limit.

from the icons on your desktop.

Used to locate your camera on the network and configure settings.

Used to view and record single or multiple Storage Options IP cameras from one management
interface.

2. IP CAMERA FINDER
2.1
To use IP Camera Manager, you first need to launch IP
Camera Finder. To do this, go to:
Start Menu All Programs Storage Options
Windows may display a security alert asking if you
want to keep blocking the “DevFind” program. Click
the “Unblock” button to continue.
2.2
You will then be able to use the IP Camera
Installation Tool to setup your IP camera. Select
“Wizard Mode” if you are a first time user.
Advanced users can click “Advanced Mode” to
manually set the camera up. This requires detailed
knowledge of networking, so is not recommended
for novice users.
2.3
The IP Camera Installation Tool will attempt to find
your camera on the network, and list its details as in
the screenshot below.
Click the “Next” button to continue. You will be
presented with networking details of your IP camera.
You may want to write these down for future
reference.

2.4
Click “Manually Set” to set the IP
addresses. This operation makes
the IP address static.
The local or “Inner access” address
can be used to access your IP
camera on the local network, via a
Web browser. Make a note of this
address. It will be in a format
similar to this:
http://192.168.1.126:81
NB If you wish, you can click the
test connectivity to your IP camera
by clicking the “Open” button.
This will open your default Web
browser (e.g. Internet Explorer /
Firefox), from which you will be
able to view the video stream from
your IP camera.
2.5
Check the IP addresses for gateway
and DNS server agree with those
for your network. You can change
the IP of the camera if you wish.
NB It is preferable to put the port
on 81 in the event you need to use
“port forwarding” in your router.
If you plan to install more cameras
and need to use “port forwarding”
you would need to put each
camera on a different port.
Click OK, confirm the user name
and password, and the camera will
reboot.
IMPORTANT:
Wireless connectivity can only be
set through a web browser. Refer
to the “WEB BASED
MANAGEMENT”section for more
information.

2.6
DDNS allows you to view your IP camera from any Internet connected computer, via an easy to remember
domain name rather than IP address. The “Check DDNS” screen will test for connectivity with the DDNS
server. If you get a DDNS error, the camera may be unable to communicate with your router. In this case, you
will have to refer to your router’s operating instructions.
IMPORTANT: A typical reason the camera might not register properly is because the IP address of the
gateway/router is incorrect (so the camera can’t reach the Internet to register DDNS) or the registration
details are incorrect.
Click the “Close” button to continue. You can now run the IP Camera Manager
