Here the procedure how to set-up the wireless camera

Step 1. We recommend you assign a static IP address to IP camera, therefore, you’d better know the IP addresses used in your network.

1. Go to a computer which connects to your network as usual. Hardwired computer is preferred.
2. For Windows XP, click on Start, click on Run. Enter “cmd” hit OK.For Windows 7/Windows Vista, click on Start, go to “Search programs & files”, enter “cmd”
   hit OK.
3. In the command prompt window, enter “ipconfig” hit Enter. Locate the IP v4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
   
4. You can minimize the command prompt. The command prompt will be used later.

In above example, the computer has IP 192.168.0.100 while the wireless router is 192.168.0.1.

Step 2. Install the IP Camera software from CD disk.

Step 3. We are going to change the IP address to Edimax camera to fit with our network. Open the IPCam Admin utility. The default IP address of camera is 192.168.2.3. We are going to change it to 192.168.0.10.

Click on “Configure camera”. Enter the password ‘1234’. Click Ok. The default IP is 192.168.2.3. We enter the a new IP 192.168.0.10, Gateway 192.168.0.1, and DNS server 192.168.0.1.

Step 4. Open Internet Explorer or other browser. Enter the IP address of Edimax Camera.

Login with username admin and password 1234.

If it prompts to install an ActiveX, click on Run Add-On.
