Software Installation - D-Link DCS-2100+ Manual

Software Installation

After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the
DCS-2100+ 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.
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 detail the installation of the IP Installer and the IP
Surveillance software.
Installing the IP Installer program
Insert the CD that is included with the DCS-2100+ Internet Camera. The
DCS-2100+ installation menu will start up automatically from the CD. If the CD
does not startup automatically (the Windows operating system can turn this
function off, for example), simply access the CD from Windows and click on
the autorun.exe program to access the installation menu shown below:
