Chapter 1    System Overview 
Chapter 1-1 System Requirements 
The  IP  camera’s  Full  HD  H.264  video  compression  technology  provides  high 
compress
 ion  rate  and  superior  video  quality.  However,  the  performance  highly  depends 
on  both  the  CPU  computational  power  of  the  users  PC  and  the  network  bandwidth  for 
transmitting video streaming. The following sections specify the system requirements for 
running a Full HD H.264 IP camera. 
 
Chapter 1-2 Software Requirements   Acumen 's Univ
 ersal  ActiveX  software  components  are  required  for  web  interface

the default IP address to verify the camera’s network connection.     
Chapter 2-1 Configuring IP addresses using IP scan utility 
To configure an IP address using the IP scan utility, copy the IP scan application from the 
installatio

from  the  installation  CD  directly.  The  IP  scan  utility  can  also  be  downloaded  from  our 
company website. To change an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, or HTTP port, follow 
the steps below:

Login  to  the  H.264  Full  HD  IP  camera  using  default  username  “admin”  and  default 
password “pass” 

  Click the “Basic Mode” configuration hyperlink 

  Click the “Network->General” hyperlink 

  To edit or modify addresses, subnet mask, gateway, or HTTP port, use the edit box
