1.1 Software Installation The steps that follow will guide you through the software installation process. STEP 1: Insert the Hawking Net-VisionTM HNC800PTZ Installation & Utilities CD into your CD-ROM Drive. The main page should load automatically. (See Figure 1-1 below.) If the CD’s Autorun page does not load automatically, click on “Start” in the lower left corner of your screen, open “My Computer”, and double click on the CD-ROM icon. Figure 1-1.
STEP 2: You will see several links on the right hand side of the CD Autorun’s main page (Figure 1-1). Click on “IP Setup & Utility” to enter the page for the IP Setup Wizard and Management & Control Software. (See Figure 1-2 below.) Figure 1-2.
STEP 3: You will see several links on the right hand side of the IP Setup Wizard and Management & Control Software page (Figure 1-2). Click on “IP Setup”. This will launch the InstallShield Wizard that installs the IP Setup Wizard program on your PC. (See Figure 1-3 below.) Figure 1-3. InstallShield Welcome page STEP 4: Select the installation directory for the IP Setup Wizard application and click on “Next”. (See Figure 1-4 below).
STEP 5: Select a program folder to install the IP Setup Wizard application into and then click on “Next”. (See Figure 1-5 below.) Figure 1-5. Select a program folder STEP 6: Click on “Finish”, to complete the installation. (See Figure 1-6 below.) Figure 1-6.
STEP 7: Once the IP Setup wizard has been installed onto your PC, an IP Setup icon will appear on your PC’s Desktop. Click on this icon to run the IP Setup wizard. Figure 1-7.
2.1 User Interface When you click on the IP Setup icon on your desktop to run the wizard, the IP Setup program will search for similar cameras on your local area network. A “similar” camera will have the same code of four letters at the beginning of its serial number. (The serial number is different from the series number/MAC address.) This code is “HVVT” and can be found on either the right or left panel of the box, or on the label on the bottom of the camera. Figure 2-1.
After the IP Setup Wizard has finished searching, the interface shown in Figure 2-2 will appear. You can select any device in the list by clicking on the checkbox to the left of the device. (For a detailed explanation of how the IP Setup Wizard automatically assigns a device an IP address that is consistent with your local area network [LAN] settings, please review the Quick Installation Guide that is included in your network camera’s packaging.
The IP Setup Wizard allows you to set up or upgrade multiple devices (of the same model) at the same time. If you select different models, the buttons will be disabled. (In this case, the model number is HNC800PTZ.) There are five buttons on the bottom of the main page (see Figure 2-3 below), and five buttons on the left panel of the main page (see Figure 2-4). Figure 2-3. Action buttons Figure 2-4. Function buttons 2.1.
Clicking on this button will remove all the selected devices from the device list. The devices that you remove may show up again if you click on the “Search” button or if you add them into the list manually. If you have selected several devices simultaneously, this button will allow you to uncheck all the selected cameras with one click instead of one-by-one. Clicking on this button will open a web browser to the web user interfaces for all of the selected devices (one browser window per device). 2.1.
2.2 Setup When you select one or more devices (of the same model), the “Setup” button will be enabled. Click on it to modify the settings of the selected device(s). After clicking on the “Setup” button, the IP Setup Wizard will try to connect to the selected device(s). If authentication fails, it will prompt a popup dialog (see Figure 2-6) to ask for the correct password and HTTP port number. (If you have entered a port number other than the default Port 80, you will need to enter it here.) Figure 2-6.
2.2.1.1 Change Host Name The “host name” is used for the homepage title of network camera’s main web user interface page and is displayed as the title over the video window on the main page. The maximum string length is 40 characters or 20 characters in doublebyte-character-systems, such as Chinese or Japanese. 2.2.1.2 Change root password To change the administrator’s password, type the new password identically in both the “Root password” and “Confirm password” text boxes.
2.2.1.3 Adjust date and time There are three ways to adjust the system date and time. The easiest way is to make the Network Camera "Synchronize with computer time". The second way, “Manual”, allows you to set the date and time manually by entering new values. Be sure to notice the format in the related fields while typing, so that you input the values correctly. The third way, “Automatic”, allows you to make the network camera automatically synchronize with time-servers over the Internet every hour. 2.2.
2.2.3 Apply to selected device(s) After configuring all the settings and clicking the “Next” button, the “Apply” window will appear. Click on “Apply” to apply/confirm the changes to the selected device(s) or click on the “Previous” button to go back to the previous window and modify the settings. Figure 2-9.
2.3 Upgrade When you select one device or multiple devices (of the same model), the “Upgrade” button will be enabled. Click on it to upgrade the firmware of the selected device(s). After clicking on the “Upgrade” button, the IP Setup Wizard will try to connect to the selected device(s). If the authentication fails, it will prompt a pop-up dialog to ask for the correct password and HTTP port number. (See Figure 2-10 below.) Figure 2-10. Authentication 2.3.
