9.1 Accessing the Camera
Q:
What are the camera’s default IP address, administrator user name and
password?
A: The camera obtains an IP address from a DHCP server in your network. If
no DHCP server is present, the camera reverts back to its default IP
address 192.168.1.221. The default administrator user name is “admin”;
the default password is “admin.”
Q: The IP Installer utility does not show the Network Camera, even though the
camera is connected to the network. Why?
A: 1: IP Installer utilizes UPnP in order to detect the camera. Check and make
sure that UPnP support is enabled in the camera. Activate UPnP support in
the settings menu under Basic -> Network -> UPnP
2: The firewall on your computer may be blocking IP Installer and is
therefore preventing it from detecting the camera. Be sure to run the
application while logged in to the computer with administrator rights.
Q: IP Installer still cannot find the camera. How can I find it on the network?
A: 1: If a DHCP server is present on the network (e.g., a router), you can
check the DHCP server’s client log after you have connected the camera to
the network. The camera will show up in the log, typically with the highest
of the IP addresses shown, as DHCP servers assign IP addresses in
sequence (newest client with newest IP address).
2: If the camera is not connected to a DHCP server, or if you connect the
camera so that it is isolated from the rest of the network, you can connect
to the camera at its default IP address of 192.168.1.221. You may have to
adjust the TCP/IP settings of your computer manually to be in range of
192.168.1.xxx in order to gain access to the camera. Connect to the
settings menu with your Web browser and change the IP address of the
camera manually.
Q: How do I install the camera on a Mac or Linux system?
A: Refer to sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 in this user manual.
