2.5 Install IPAdmin Tool
The IPAdmin Tool, included on the CD mini disk, is a utility that will discover cameras installed on your network and enable you
to perform the initial network setup for each camera. After a camera is setup on the network, the Microsoft Internet Explorer®
web browser can be used to see video from the camera, set the camera’s password, date and time, nalize camera hardware
adjustments, and congure the camera for functional requirements.
The IPAdminTool can be loaded on a Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating system (32- or 64-bit). To use this utility
for the initial setup of your camera, your computer must be connected to the same network subnet as your camera.
At a computer on the same LAN (subnet) where your cameras will be installed, do the following:
1. Insert the CD mini disk provided with your camera into your computer’s CD ROM drive and open the CD in a Windows
Explorer window.
2. Find the IPAdminTool directory on the CD.
3. Copy the IPAdminTool directory with its contents to your computer hard drive.
2.6 Congure the camera network settings
Devices attached to a Local Area Network (LAN) are each assigned a unique address (IP address) that they use when sending
messages with each other. No two devices on a single Ethernet network can have the same IP address. Otherwise, addressing
conicts will occur.

11Indoor/Outdoor Mini-Dome IP Camera
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
When your IP camera is attached to a network and initially powered on, it attempts acquire compatible network settings from
a DHCP server. If it cannot nd a DHCP server, it congures itself with the following static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
setting, which may or may not be compatible with other devices on the network.
IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Whether it acquires a dynamic (changeable) IP address and other network settings from a DHCP server, or uses the default static
(xed, unchanging) settings, your camera must be congured with static network settings that are compatible with the network
conguration. Additionally, if DHCP is not used on your network, DIGIOP Black cameras must be installed on the network and
congured with new network settings one at a time to avoid addressing conicts.
Use the following procedure to setup and apply compatible, static, network settings for your camera. If connecting your camera to a
large enterprise network, consult with your network administrator for network settings before attaching the camera to the LAN to
ensure that your camera won’t conict with other devices. Your network administrator should also setup WAN (Internet) access to
the camera, if that is needed.
If you encounter a problem and need to contact Technical Support, rst complete the chart in step 1 about your computer (PC) and
camera network settings, if possible. Support will need this information to provide assistance.
2.6.1 Conguring cameras on networks with DHCP
In networks with a DHCP server, the IP camera will acquire dynamic (changeable) network settings when it is initially powered on.
These dynamic settings can easily be converted to static settings, or changed to other static settings that are also compatible with
your network.
1. Connect your camera to the LAN, then power on the camera.
2. Open the IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the le IPAdminTool.exe to start the application.
When the IPAdmin Tool starts, it will discover all the IP devices it supports that exist on the network. The discovery process
may take a few minutes.

12 www.digiop.com
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Check the list of IP devices found by IPAdmin Tool. You can identify your camera by the MAC address. If the camera was not
found, click the Refresh button every minute until your camera appears in the list.
3. In the IPAdmin Tool device list, use the camera’s MAC Address to nd the camera you are installing. After nding the camera,
right click the entry, then select IP Address from the drop-down list. An IP Setup window will open.
4. In the IP Setup window, click the Static option bullet to select this option.

If you have other compatible, network settings you want to apply to the device, enter them in the appropriate locations. Click
Setup to save settings.
5. In the Login window, enter the ID and PW (password) for your camera and click Login. The default administrator values for
the ID and PW are root and pass. After entering ID and PW, the IP Setup window closes.
6. In the IPAdmin Tool window, click Refresh and verify that the entry representing the camera now shows the new IP address.
7. Continue with procedure 2.7 Setup camera Basic Conguration.
2.6.2 Conguring cameras on networks without DHCP
NOTE The following procedure works with most networks. For further assistance, contact Technical Support.
Cameras installed on a network without a DHCP server will initially use the factory default static network settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
In networks without a DHCP server, cameras must be powered on and recongured one at a time to avoid addressing conicts
between other cameras, or possibly with another device on the network. Conguring the network settings of your cameras includes
these steps:
—Determine the network settings of your computer.
—Check the network for compatibility with the default static network settings of your camera.
—Find network settings (IP addresses) that are not in use and can be assigned to your camera.
—Attach your camera to the network, power it on, and conguring it with new network settings.
Determine the network settings of your computer
1. At a PC attached to the same LAN that will be shared with your camera, determine the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway of your PC and record it in Table 1. To nd this information, do the following at the Windows desktop:
a. Hold down the Windows key and press rto open the Run dialog box.

14 www.digiop.com
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
b. Type cmd in the entry eld, then click OK to open the DOS command window.
c. At the command prompt, enter ipcong. The response will show the your PC’s network settings.
Example: Typical use of ipcong in Windows XP
d. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for your PC’s Ethernet adapter into Table 1.
NOTE
The Ethernet adapter data you see by using ipcong will probably be dierent from that shown in the example
above. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the IP address is identied as the “IPv4 Address.”

15Indoor/Outdoor Mini-Dome IP Camera
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Find network settings (IP addresses) that are not in use
1. At your PC, nd an IP address on your network that is not in use:
a. Write down the EXACT IP address of your PC up to the third/last period. Using the example shown above, this
expression is: 192.168.1.
b. After the third period, include any number between 1 and 254 that is dierent from the one in your PC’s IP address,
168. As a rst try, let’s choose 200, which will form the IP address 192.168.1.200.
c. Next, use the ping command in the DOS window to see if this IP address is in use on your network. The format of the
ping command is:
ping <IP address>
To test this IP address, enter ping 192.168.1.200. Any reply received from the ping indicates that a device on the
network is already using this IP address and you can connect to it.
In the example shown above, the message “Reply from 192.168.1.200: ..” indicates that your PC can reach the
device with that IP address, and that address is in use (i.e., you cannot use it for your camera).
d. Since the ping test of the IP address we tried showed the address was in use, try another number between 1 and 254.
For example, let’s ping 192.168.1.201. At the DOS prompt, enter: ping 192.168.1.201

16
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
e. In this test, the message “Request timed out” indicates that your PC cannot reach the device with that IP address, and
that address is probably not in use. Enter this number into Table 1. If this test indicated that this IP address is in use, try
other IP addresses using the steps above until an unused address is found.
Check LAN for default IP address compatibility
Because all DIGIOP Black cameras and encoders are factory congured with the static IP address 192.168.0.100, check the LAN
before connecting your camera to ensure that network conicts won’t occur.
At a Microsoft Windows computer attached to the LAN subnet where the camera will be connected, open a Command Prompt
window and enter:
ping 192.168.0.100
The “Request timed out” response indicates that the IP address is not in use and the camera can be connected without causing
errors.
Attach your camera to the network and power it on
Apply power to the camera. When the camera powers on, it performs an internal initialization, then establishes a connection to the
LAN. Wait until the initialization process completes before continuing. It may take up to 3 minutes for your camera to initialize.
Congure the camera IP address
1. Open the IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the le IPAdminTool.exe to start the application.
When the IPAdmin Tool starts, it will discover all the IP devices it supports that exist on the network. The discovery process
may take a few minutes.
