7. Checking the Dynamic IP Address
You can look up the IP address and access the Web interface of the camera using the IP Utility (IPU)
software included in the software CD or from the Website of EverFocus (click here to download). Please
connect the IP camera in the same LAN of your computer.
1. Install and then start the IPU program . The following IPU window appears. The IPU will
automatically search the IP devices connected in the LAN.
2. Double click the IP address of the desired device, the login window pops up. Type the user ID and
password to log in. By default, the user ID is user1 and the password is 11111111. Click OK, the Live
View window appears.
