English
3.3.1 Default IP address
Since this is a network-based camera, an IP address must be assigned at the very rst stage. The camera’s default IP address is
192.168.1.30 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0. However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the camera 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" rst.
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 the network available between the camera 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 192.168.1.30”. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the
connection is available.
3. Start a browser e.g., Internet Explorer and enter IP address: 192.168.1.30. A login window as shown below 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“User Manual".
