You need the IP address to visit the network camera.
Steps:
1. To get the IP address, you can choose either of the following methods:
Use SADP, a software tool which can automatically detect the online network cameras in
the LAN and list the device information including IP address, subnet mask, port number,
device serial number, device version, etc., shown in Figure 2-3.
Use the client software to list the online devices. Please refer to the user manual of client
software for detailed information.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as that of your computer.
3. Enter the IP address of network camera in the address field of the web browser to view the live
video.
Notes:
The default IP address is 192.0.0.64 and the port number is 8000. The default user name is admin, and
password is 12345.
For accessing the network camera from different subnets, please set the gateway for the network camera after

6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the network camera via a modem
Purpose:
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address by ADSL dial-up after
the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera. Refer to
Section 5.3.3 Configuring PPPoE Settings for detailed configuration.
Figure 1-6 Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
Note: The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always changes after rebooting
the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you need to get a domain name from the DDNS provider
(E.g. DynDns.com). Please follow below steps for normal domain name resolution and private domain name
resolution to solve the problem.
Normal Domain Name Resolution
Figure 1-7 Normal Domain Name Resolution
Steps:
