Section 5 - Frequently Asked Questions
18x PoE Network Camera Installation
1. Can the Network Camera be used outdoors?
The 18x PoE Network Camera is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case for outdoor use but it is not
recommended.
2. When physically connecting the 18x PoE Network Camera to a network, what network cabling is required?
The 18x PoE Network Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking solutions.
3. Can the 18x PoE Network Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?
No, the 18x PoE Network Camera is used only on an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The D-Link DSB-C110, DSB-C310, can be
used as a PC Camera (Webcam).
4. Can the 18x PoE Network Camera be connected to the network if it consists only of private IP addresses?
The 18x PoE Network Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP addresses.
5. Can the 18x PoE Network Camera be installed and work if a firewall exists on the network?
If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data communication. The DCS-3415 uses port 500 for streaming
audio and port 5003 for streaming video. These ports (or the ports you have specified in the Setup Tab in the Configuration screen)
need to be opened on the firewall.
6. Why am I unable to access the 18x PoE Network Camera from a web browser?
If a router or firewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the DCS-3415 may not be configured on the router or firewall.
To correct the problem, you need to determine if the DCS-3415 is behind a router or firewall and if the router or firewall is properly
configured for the ports the DCS-3415 is using. Refer to Page 40 for help in opening the correct ports on a router or firewall for use
with the DCS-3415. Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable. Test the network
interface of the product by connecting a local computer to the unit, utilizing a Ethernet crossover cable. If the problem is not solved,
the 18x PoE Network Camera might be faulty.
