Rather than use the supplied floppy disk, as these are a bit old-school, you can now download the Windows driver files from here: http://www.bytemart.co.uk/downloads/VC-AV-11/vc-av-11-drivers.zip
We have found these steps are helpful for customers looking to setup their cameras in both wired and wireless mode. Any comments or suggestions please let us know!
1. Connect the camera using supplied RJ45 lead to the ethernet port of the PC.

there is no “limited connection message”.
3. Run IPCamSetup.
4. Click “Find IP Cam”
5. When the camera appears in the list highlight it and then in the
section below enter the IP address 192.168.2.101 (first check your IP
settings in windows by running ipconfig from the command prompt - make
sure the IP range matches your LAN adapter, NOT the wireless adapter.
As long as the first 3 sets of numbers match those in your LAN adapter
and the last number is between 100-200, you should be OK.)

We received the following question from a potential buyer about the movement detection available on the Model 2 cameras that come with the WalkGuard Software -
“It mentions about an alarm that will sound when movement is detected…can you tell me where the alarm is heard? as this will be used for surveillance of a second home I would like to be notified when movement is picked up…I don?t mind having the camera on and connected 24/7 if the alarm can be heard from where I would be viewing. “
We replied……
“The WalkGuard software that the camera is supplied with allows you to set both email notification of any movement, and also an alarm sound that will sound on the PC that is monitoring the remote camera.”
