Access the Base Station Camera Feeds
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the same LAN as the base
station.
If you are unable to connect to the same LAN using WiFi, use an Ethernet
cable to connect a computer to the same router or switch as the base
station.
2. Do one of the following:
• Windows-based computer
. Open a folder and then click
Network
or
Network Places
. Look for a
FlexPowerBS-xxx
icon. It might appear in the other devices category.
• Mac, Linux, or mobile device
. Open a web browser and enter
http://FlexPowerBS-xxx/
(replace xxx with the last 3 digits
of the base station serial number). The serial number is on the
base station label.
• IP address
. Use your router’s admin web interface or a
network scan tool to look up the IP address for the base
station and then type the IP address into your browser
address bar.
3. Enter the password.
The default password is
password
. The base station web page displays
the cameras that are linked to the base station.
4. To test the camera feed, tap or click the
Snapshot
button to refresh the
camera image for each camera.
Add Your Camera to an ONVIF-Compliant VMS
Note:
We recommend that the camera and the VMS hardware are on the
same LAN and subnet.
1. Log in to the base station.
The base station web page displays.
2. Tap or click the gear icon near the camera.
3. Note the IP address next to Network.
4. Open your VMS software.
5. Follow the instructions provided by your VMS vendor to discover an
ONVIF camera.
If the automatic discovery process does not work, you might need this
information to manually add the camera to your VMS:
• IP address found in Step 3
.
• Port
. HTTP: 80, RTSP:554
• The camera’s login credentials
. The camera user name is
admin
and the default password is
password
. (The camera
password might be different from the base station’s admin
password.)
6. Select
ONVIF
or
Generic ONVIF
as the device type.
7. For best performance, select
h.264
for video.
After you add the camera to the VMS, you can select one of three
default streaming profiles or create your own custom profile.
8. Adjust the bitrate as needed for your network environment.
Reduce the bitrate in environments with high 2.4 Ghz interference or if
the camera must be placed far away from the nearest base station.
9. Select no more than 24 frames per second as the frame rate.
Note:
For information about wall-mounting the camera indoors or outdoors,
see the

your camera.
