5Accessing the Box Camera
To access the box camera through Web browser, ensure your PC connects
to the network properly and meets this system requirement:
System Requirement
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x or later
Designed for use on the network, the GV-Box camera must be assigned an
IP address to make it accessible:
Assigning an IP Address
1. Open your web browser, and type the default IP address
http://192.168.0.10.
2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click
Apply.
3. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network
settings.
4. Select Static IP address. Type IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Router/Gateway, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS in the Configure
connection parameters section.
5. Click Apply. The camera is now accessible by entering the assigned
IP address on the Web browser.
6. To enable the updating of images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you
must set your browser to allow ActiveX Controls and perform a
one-time installation of GeoVision’s ActiveX component onto your
computer.
Important:
1. Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE should only be enabled if you
know which IP address the camera will get from the DHCP server or
ISP. Otherwise you must use the Dynamic DNS service to obtain a
domain name linked to the camera’s changing IP address first.
2. If Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled and you cannot
access the camera, you may have to reset the camera to its factory
default and then perform the network settings again. To restore
factory settings, see 8. Restoring to Default Settings in the Quick
Start Guide.
Note: For the users of Internet Explorer 8, additional settings are
required. For details, see Appendix B in GV-IPCam H.264 User’s
