Chapter3 Search Device
3.1 Search Device and Modify Network
Parameters
Run “SearchNVS” to find the default IP and modify mega pixel IP camera network
parameters according to clients’ local PC IP gateway (Such as IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and so on)
3.1.1 Run SearchNVS software
How to run “SearchNVS”:
1. Find the NVSCenter software in 【Application】file from the CD and then install
it.
2. Click【Start】---【all programs】--- 【NVS Center】---【Search NVS】to run
it.
Note:
The default factory settings of the IP Camera are as follows:
IP: 192.168.55.160
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
User name: admin; Password: admin
Run the SearchNVS software to search and modify IP Camera network parameters.
It is multicast protocol. But the firewall forbids the multicast data packet. So please
close the firewall first.
【Local IP】Display the local PC IP. If your PC is NIC or multi-addressed local IP,
please select one IP address to connect NVS.
The main window indicates that your PC has found the IP camera in LAN. If there
are several IP cameras in your LAN, you can determine which camera is the one you
purchased through “device name” in the main window. There is a unique device ID
number in your package. The default device name is “NVS + device ID number”.
3.1.2 Set IP address
The gateway of your IP camera and local PC must be the same so that you can
visit the IP camera. So we need to set the IP address for the IP camera before using.
To get your local PC IP configuration information: Click “start” and choose “run”,

12
then, input “command” or “cmd”(Windows 2000/XP system). Click “confirm” and then
input “ipconfig” and press “Enter” button, you will get the following information:
Now please remember the above IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, then,
set the IP address of mega pixel ip camera according to your local PC IP address. For
example: 192.168.1.100.
Please make sure the Default Gateway and Subnet Mask should be the same as
your PC. And its IP should not be conflict with other PC or IP devices.
Click 【Set】to get the following window:
Modify related network parameters and click “OK”, then, the IP camera will save
the parameters and restart.
3.2 Check Connection
Check to see whether the IP camera is running and properly connected. Click
“Start”→“Run”→input “cmd” and press “Enter” Key to open command window. Input:
ping 192.168.1.100 and click “Enter” button, then, the interface as below will be shown:

13
If the command can generate a reply, meaning the IP camera works normally and
is connected to network correctly. If not, please confirm the IP address and gateway
settings, and check the network cables.
Then, use SearchNVS software to search and modify network parameters (such as
IP address, subnet mask and gateway etc. according to clients’ local IP information).
