INTRODUCTION
The camera utility, zz-cam manager, has been designed to simplify the camera installation. Once you install the application (on a
windows PC, Mac, iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad) it can detect local
cameras on your network and guide you through the easy installation
process. For remote access from the internet you also need to configure the wireless router to allow remote access to the camera through
the router firewall. You can also access from the internet by setting
up an account at the zz-cam.com website and allowing the installation
program to setup access.

The application will detect the locally attached cameras and display them
under “Cameras on your network”. If the camera being installed doesn't
show up in this list then click “Search camera” to refresh. If it still doesn't
show then check your connections to make sure that the camera is connected to the router and powered on.

“Checking camera connection. Please wait...”.
If a new camera is detected then the application will automatically install the new camera in the network. If the camera is not new or is not
detected as new, just push the reset button at the bottom of the camera
for 10 seconds while powered on. The camera will reset to factory defaults.

ZZ-CAM INSTALLATION MANUAL
All the available wireless routers will be displayed. Choose the one
the camera is connected
to by clicking on the
name.
Enter the wireless security key at the prompt.
Click “OK”.
Assign a static IP address to the camera so it
can be found from the
internet. The application
suggests an IP address
but please make sure it
is not in the DHCP range
or is being used by another device in the network. See Determining Static IP Address below for more information.
Pick any port number you will like to use. The default is 80. Please
note down the IP address and port number. They will be needed during remote access setup.
Click “Save” and accept the changes. The Camera will reboot for the
new settings to take effect.
8 | Camera Setup
ZZ-CAM INSTALLATION MANUAL
The camera is now ready for wireless operation and can be accessed
from the local network. To enable remote access from the internet
click on “3. Setup Remote Access”. If remote access is not required or
desired then skip step 8.
Determining Static IP Address
A Static IP address needs to meet the following critetia:
The address needs to be unique. No other
devices in the network can have that address. It's only the last octet (the
number after the last “.”, period) of the address that is unique (e.g.
192.xxx.xxx.UUU).
The last octet cannot be a 0, 1, or 255 (cannot be 192.xxx.xxx.0,
192.xxx.xxx.1, or 192.xxx.xxx.255).
IF DHCP is enabled the address must be outside the DHCP range.
Open your router's administrative interface and check if DHCP is enabled.
If enabled then determine the DHCP range. e.g., if the DHCP server start
numbering computers at 192.168.1.100 and allow 50 IP address, the last
DHCP reserved address will be 192.168.1.149. Some routers display the
starting and ending address (e.g 192.xxx.xxx.100 to 192.xxx.xxx.149). Stat ic IP address can be any address outside this range (number after the last
decimal) but the last number cannot be 0, 1, or 255. e.g., you can pick
192.xxx.xxx.5, which is outside of the DHCP Range. If DHCP is not enabled
then then all the addresses (2-254) are static address. Pick any unused
static IP address.

main items that needs to be filled.
A)
Port from – the unique port to be used to access the camera from the
internet. If this is the only camera/device being port forwarded in this router then
leave the Port from as 80. Otherwise pick a different port (like 81, 82 etc) that is
unique.
B)
Protocol – Pick TCP.
C)
IP Address – This is the IP Address of the camera picked in the pre-
vious step.
D)
