Setting up a Network Video Stream with the PTZOptics camera
(Also see information on camera web information in the following section)
1. The first thing you are going to want to do to get your camera up and streaming on your network is to connect your
camera to power, to an active network port on your network and finally to power the camera on.
2. Next, go online and download the IP address setting tool, for Windows Operating Systems, from the PTZOptics
Download Page. Once you complete the installation and launch the tool “UPGRADE v2.7” you should be able to
click the “Search” button to locate all of the available PTZOptics cameras on your network.
3. The next thing you would want to do is change your cameras IP address to be in the same range as your network.
The camera comes with a default static IP address of 192.168.100.88. You will need to update that to be in the same
range as your network. If you look at my example above, you can see, from other cameras on my network, that my
network is set up to be in the range of 192.168.111.XXX. Please see the “Extras” section at the end of this
document for further information on finding your network IP scheme
4. Once you know your IP range you can right click on the camera you wish to change the IP address for and click
“config”. NOTE: if you need to find the IP range of your network, you can do so by following the guide in the extras
section at the end of this document.
