Chapter 1 Conguration
Congratulations on your purchase of a StarDot NetCam SC network camera with
integrated web server. The NetCam SC combines the best of the analog CCTV world
(auto iris, day/night IR lter*, video out, 24VAC/12VC power inputs, I/O) with the
best of the digital IP camera world (up to 5 megapixel, Power over Ethernet, integrated
video motion detection).
With proper usage, NetCam SC will provide many years of quality video. We
recommend that you read this manual carefully to completely understand the camera’s
capabilities. Throughout this manual, your NetCam SC camera will also be referred
to as simply NetCam.
* Day/night IR lter available only on IR models.
1.1 Before You Start
This manual guides you through the basic setup procedure for the
NetCam SC and provides a detailed resource of the camera’s advanced
options and capabilities.
Setting up NetCam SC consists of three steps. The rst step is to
congure the network settings. The second step is to congure NetCam to
upload images to a web server (this step is optional). The third step is the
physical installation of the camera.
1.2 What’s Included and What’s Required
The basic package includes a NetCam SC camera, a lens and the
StarDot Tools software (and this manual) on CD-ROM. Since the NetCam
SC is a PoE device (Power over Ethernet), it is assumed that most users
will provide their own CAT 5 or CAT 6 cable, as well as a PoE switch or
power injector. StarDot optionally offers a wall mount, a power supply, a
combination network/power cable and a null serial conguration cable. In
order to use the NetCam SC, you will need the following:
• Power source (PoE, 12VDC or 24VAC)
• A computer – for conguring NetCam SC and for viewing video
(viewing requires Java or ActiveX-enabled web browser)
Note: A computer is not necessary to operate NetCam, only to congure it.
• Network connectivity (LAN, cable modem, DSL, T-1, Dial-Up
Internet Account, Satellite Modem, etc.)

1.4 Connecting NetCam SC to a Network
The StarDot Tools software can be used to nd the camera’s IP address
or to congure the camera with the Setup Wizard (optional).
Install the StarDot Tools software by inserting the CD-ROM and
running setup.exe (it should run automatically).
If your network has a router or server that auto assigns IP addresses
(DHCP), StarDot Tools will nd the camera’s IP address and display
it in the software. To access NetCam SC, simply double-click its IP
address. If the IP address is displayed, skip to Chapter 3.
If your network does not auto-assign IP addresses, you can assign a
manual IP using a null serial cable. Connect one end of a null model
serial cable to the S1 port of NetCam SC and the other end into an
available serial port on your PC.
Connect NetCam SC into a PoE switch or injector with a standard
CAT 5 network cable or with a StarDot Combo Ethernet/Power
Cable.
In StarDot Tools, click the Setup Wizard button.
Follow the steps in the Setup Wizard. If you’re unsure of some of
the answers or you’d like more information on connecting NetCam
to the Internet or your private network, read the next section,
“An Overview of NetCam SC Connectivity”.

1.5 An Overview of Network Connectivity
A LAN or network connection is the simplest configuration for
NetCam SC. NetCam SC simply needs an IP address (and other networking
parameters) to make the live images and conguration menus accessible
from any web browser on the network. There are two ways NetCam SC
can be assigned an IP address: automatically or manually.
Automatic IP Assignment (DHCP)
NetCam SC is shipped in an automatic IP assignment mode called
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol). If your network has a DHCP
server (in most cases, a router), it will automatically assign the necessary
network parameters to NetCam SC. Before you can access the camera, you
will need to know which IP address was assigned. Use the StarDot Tools
software to nd the camera’s IP address.
Manual IP Assignment
If you want to assign the camera a permanent IP address, you will need
the following information:
• IP Address (example: 192.168.1.5)
• Subnet Mask (example: 255.255.255.0)
• Gateway (example: 192.168.1.1)
• DNS Servers (obtain from ISP)
If you are installing the camera on a company network, you will probably
want to get this information from the system administrator.
The easiest way to congure NetCam SC manually is to connect the
camera to a serial port on your computer. Plug one end of a null modem serial
cable into the S1 port on the back of NetCam SC and the other end into an
available 9-pin serial port on the back of your computer. Use the included
StarDot Tools software to congure the camera using the Setup Wizard.
If you don’t have a serial port or are using a non-Windows machine,
you have a few options.
If NetCam SC is connected to a network with a DHCP server and your
computer is not running Windows, you can log into your router (or whatever
is acting as your DHCP server) and view the DHCP clients table. NetCam
SC will have a MAC address starting with 00:30:F4. Take note of the IP
address and enter it in your web browser. Click on the conguration link,
visit the network tab and assign the camera a manual IP address (outside
of the router’s DHCP range).
If NetCam SC is connected to a network without a DHCP server
(IP addresses are not automatically assigned) and your computer is not
Page 8 NetCam SC
running Windows, you’ll have to manually assign the camera an IP address.
This requires terminal emulation software and the included null serial cable.
On a Macintosh or on a Windows computer without a serial port, you’ll
need a USB RS-232 adapter.
To talk directly to the camera via the included serial cable, set your
terminal software to a bitrate of 38,400 (8/N/1). Log in with username
admin, password admin and use the following commands to assign the
camera a temporary IP address. Once the IP has been assigned, browse to the
camera with a web browser and congure NetCam SC so it has a permanent
static IP address (see Chapter 3.8).
In the following example, NetCam SC is being assigned a temporary
IP address of 192.168.0.2 via a terminal program connected to the S1 port
on the back of NetCam SC:
ifcong eth0 192.168.0.2
route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
Remember, once you can reach camera via its temporary IP address,
you’ll want to immediately assign it a permanent static IP address in the
network conguration menu.

Chapter 2 Installation
Before installing the camera in its nal location, it is important to
congure and test it rst (see Chapter 1).
2.1 Installing NetCam SC
Measure the distance from the camera to the nearest Ethernet hub or
switch. This distance should not exceed 330 feet. If you wish to extend the
distance further than 330 feet, you can add an Ethernet hub or switch.
There are three ways to power NetCam SC. This allows you go install
the camera in virtually any existing infrastructure. NOTE: Only use one
method to power the camera . Do not plug two or more power sources
into the camera simultaneously.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Run standard CAT 5 or better Ethernet cable from a PoE hub/switch
(or PoE power injector) into the NET jack on the back of NetCam SC.
NetCam SC will run off the PoE power running in the CAT 5 cable. No
other power source is required.
Separate Ethernet and Power
If you decide not to use PoE, you can connect one end of a CAT 5 or
better Ethernet cable into a hub/switch and the other end into the NET jack
on the back of NetCam SC. Plug a 12VDC 1A power supply into the back
of NetCam SC (or you may use a 24VAC power supply and connect it to
the input marked 24VAC).
StarDot’s Power/Network Cable
If you choose not to power NetCam SC via PoE and you still want
the take advantage of a single cable run, StarDot provides Power/Network
cable that allows you to run both power and data in the same cable. Visit
http://www.stardot.com for more information.
2.2 Outdoor Environment
To mount NetCam SC outdoors, it must rst be encased in an outdoor
enclosure (different models are available from StarDot Technologies, see
http://www.stardot.com/sc). Install the camera in an outdoor enclosure and
adjust the internal mount so the lens is up against the enclosure window.
This helps to reduce glare and interior reections.
Determine where NetCam SC will be pointing and where you’d like to
mount it. The outdoor enclosure can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical
surface. When aiming the camera, factors such as sun travel and amount
of visible sky can vastly affect the quality of the image. For imaging tips,
see Section 4.1.

Chapter 3 Accessing NetCam SC
3.1 Viewing NetCam SC’s Images
Any Java-enabled browser can be used to view the live images.
Type NetCam SC’s IP address in your browser’s address bar (example:
http://192.168.1.5). Or use StarDot Tools to Find the camera’s IP
address.
Window Size
For most viewing, the window size should be set to 100%, which is a
pixel to pixel match of the image resolution. If you select 50%, the width
and height will be browser resized to 50% of the actual image resolution. If
you select 200%, the width and height will be browser resized to 200% of
the actual image resolution. This does not affect the actual image resolution
which is set on the image conguration menu (Section 3.3).
Mode
This determines which method is used to watch the live video:
Pull - Java applet “pulls” the live images via web port (usually 80)
Push - Java applet receives motion JPEG stream via port 8001
ActiveX - receives motion JPEG stream via port 8001
.NET - receives motion JPEG stream via web port (usually 80)
