Assigning an IP Address
The camera automatically obtains an IP address when it is connected to a network.
NOTE: If the camera cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, it will use Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) to choose an IP address. When set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following methods:
l
The mobile web interface using the USB Wifi Adapter. For more information, see (Optional) Using the USB
Wifi Adapter below.
l
Camera's web browser interface: http:// <camera IP address> /
l
Network Video Management software application (for example, Avigilon Control Center™).
l
ARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/Ping Method on
page 29.
NOTE: The default camera username is
administrator
with no password.
(Optional) Using the USB Wifi Adapter
If you have a USB Wifi Adapter (H4-AC-WIFI), attach it to the camera's micro USB port to access the camera's
mobile web interface.
After you connect to the wifi signal broadcast by the adapter, you can access the mobile web interface from any
mobile device using the following address:
