Hawking Wireless-G Network Camera: Cheap, but You Get What You Pay For

Jim Buzbee

September 06, 2006

Setting Up

The HNC290G can operate wirelessly, but setting it up requires a wired network connection. Figure 1, from the Hawking manual, shows the back panel of the unit with the various connections marked. The front of the camera, shown previously, has a manual-focus ring, tiltable adjustable lens and several status LEDs. When I powered the camera up, I turned to the Windows-only installation wizard for configuration.

Figure 2 shows the initial screen of the application after it scanned and found the camera on the network.

The wizard walked me through the initial setup, which guided me through configuring the network address (Figure 3).
