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
192.168.1.30 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 192.168.1.30”. 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 should pop up. In the window,
enter the default user name: admin, password: 1234 and select a user interface language to log in.
Further administration on the unit can be found in “4. Administration and Conguration".
