3.3 Connecting Process
3.3.1 Default IP address
Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first. The unit’s default IP
address is 192.168.0.30 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0. However, if you have a DHCP server in your
network, the unit would obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you don’t need to
change the camera’s IP address. But be sure to enable DHCP in "Network Settings".
3.3.2 Connecting from a computer & Viewing Preparation
Connecting from a computer
1. Make sure the unit and your computer are in the same subnet.
2. Check whether if the networking available between the unit and the computer by executing ping the
default IP address. To do this, simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the Start Menu, select
Program. Then select Accessories and choose Command Prompt.), and type “Ping 192.168.0.30”. If the
message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.
3. Start a browser e.g. Internet Explorer and enter IP address: 192.168.0.30. A login window should pop up.
In the window, enter the default user name: admin and password: 1234 to log in.
Further administration on the unit can be found in “3. Administration and Configuration".
