6. Accessing the network camera for the first time
The network camera is accessed for the first time using the ABUS IP Installer.
After the installation wizard is started, it searches for all connected ABUS network cameras and video
servers on your network.
You can find the program on the CD-ROM included. Install the program on your PC and then run it.
If a DHCP server is available on your network, the IP address is assigned automatically for both the
PC/laptop and the network camera.
If no DHCP server is available, the network camera automatically sets the following IP address:
192.168.0.100
.
Your PC system must be located in the same IP subnetwork to establish communication with the
network camera (PC IP address: e.g. 192.168.0.2).
The default setting for the network camera is "DHCP". If no DHCP server is in operation on
your network, we recommend setting the IP address manually to a fixed value following initial
access to the network camera.
