3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Cautions
Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation.
VSP-3001 IP camera should installed indoors generally. The prolonged exposure
under the sunlight or other strong lights shall accelerate the aging of the shell and
shorten the using term.
Please install the IP camera at safe site. The fall may cause the damage.
Do not place the network camera near water and assure the IP camera in a
dry circumstance with aeration.
Please use the proper input power source(inputAC 220v and output DC12v/1A).
Don't leave the cables easy-touched to prevent the stumble.
Don't forcedly turn the pan/tilt head or lens to avoid the damage.
Don't touch the lens of the sensor. The fingerprint smudge shall cause the blur or no
image displayed and it also shall hurt the paint on the lens.
Please unplug the AC adaptor before cleaning the network camera. Please wipe wet
cloth only and don't use chemical and aerosol products.
Screen protection is recommended. The long-time display for same image of the
PC shall damage the monitor.
Please take the network camera to the qualified serviceman under the below cases:
A when the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
B
C
D
when liquid has been spilled into the IP camera.
when the network camera has been dropped and damaged.
If the IP camera does not work normally after the setup and debug by
operating instruction.
E
If the network camera exhibits an irregular condition in performance.
3.2 Installation step
A Bracket installation: aim the screw of the bracket at the hole on the bottom and turn
clockwise.
B
Ethernet connectiona: use category 5 cross cable and RJ-45 linker to connect the
network camera to the net. Use category 5 straight cable to connect with HUB/
Switch or use category 5 cross cable when connecting directly to the PC.
Confirm the specification of the AC adaptor(input AC220v,output DC12v,1A) and
connect with the network camera.
C
D
Check if the power source indicator is enlightened. If the net has been connected
correctly, the net indicator will be enlightened within 1 second.

For this program, not only the basic setup of PC and IP camera but also the setup of
Port Forwarding function of Router is required, so the visit for network camera besides
Intranet is accessible. The Router should have the function of Network Address
Transition(NAT) to transit the global address to local address and assign the different
external port No. to each IP camera.
4.4 Access home page of IP camera
If the IP browser is Internet Explorer, the download for ActiveX is required. So,
reset the security level of the IE as low level(Tools menu > Internet Options > Security tab
> Custom level), and then enter HTTP://192.168.1.252 to the address field to open the
home page of VSP-3001 network camera. Click the Single Camera Screen Mode, and wait
a minute till the image appearing, then set the security level to its original level.(The PC
will save the program of ActiveX after reading it, so the security level can be set to its
original level.)
If the IP browser is Netscape Navigator, please enter directly HTTP://192.168.1.252
to address field to open the home page of VSP-3001 IP camera. Click the Single Camera

8 APPENDIX
Appendix 1: Reset to factory default
In some case, we need reset the server to factory default which can operate on
Setup Page. If the user can not login the Setup Page(such as forgetting the user name
and the password), it will be available for resetting to factory default through ARP and
PING to re-assign the IP address.
Notes: after the success of re-assigning the IP address through ARP and PING, all
other settings shall be reset to factory default except IP address setting.
Assign IP address through ARP notes before operation:
Check the correct connection to the net and with the power for IP camera.
Obtain a unique IP address from administrator.
MAC address: there is a unique Ethernet address for every VSP-3001 IP
camera(MAC address is labeled on bottom of the IP camera). The Ethernet
address is a number with 12 figures(such as 00-0c-e8-xx-xx-xx).
Fox example, the IP address for PC is 192.168.1.6, the IP address for VSP-3001
IP camera will be set as 192.168.1.61, the MAC address is 00-0c-e8-xx-xx-xx.
The IP address of VSP-3001 network camera must have the same IP domain
with the IP address of PC(it means the same subnet mask). For example, the
IP address of PC is 192.168.1.6, the IP address of network camera is 192.168.1.61,
and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If the subnet mask is 255.255.255.128 or
higher, the domain will not cover 192.168.1.61 and the setting will not be effective.
