3.1 Looking Up the Dynamic IP Address

automatically assigned with a dynamic IP address. Follow the steps below to look up its IP
address.
Note:
1. By default, the Administrator’s username is admin and cannot be modified.
2. This function is only applicable on GV-IP Device Utility V8.9.8 or later.
1. Make sure the PC used to configure the IP address is under the same LAN as the camera.
Download and install GV-IP Device Utility from the company website.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices connected in
the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.

using the IP address found in GV-IP Device Utility, the following dialog box will apear.
If “Activate Onvif User”is enabled, the ONVIF user can be activated simultanously for the
third-party platform connection via ONVIF, using the default username and set password set
