SECTION 3
Equipment Testing and System Setup
All SC Black IP cameras and encoders are pre-configured with the same static IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway settings:
IP address:
192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway:
192.168.0.1
Since the IP address is the same for all IP cameras and encoders, they must be attached to the network
and configured one at a time.
The general procedure for testing and setting up your IP camera system includes the following steps:
1. Check the LAN for default IP address compatibility.
See subsection 3.1.
2. Determine the network settings for each device you will install on your network.
See subsection
3.2.
3. Install the IPAdmin Tool on a PC connected to the LAN where the IP cameras will be installed.
See
subsection 3.3.
4. Connect the camera to the LAN (
see subsection 3.4)
and use the IPAdmin Tool to change the
camera network settings.
See subsection 3.5.
5. Use the IE browser to verify video and connectability of the camera.
See subsection 3.6.
6. Repeat the previous two steps for each IP camera (using a different IP address for each camera).
See subsection 3.7.
7.
Install each camera at its surveillance location. Perform specific configuration setup for each
camera.
See subsection 3.8.
8. Install and setup the NVR or hDVR. (Refer to the NVR/hDVR Installation Guides and the System
Technical Guide documents.)
See subsection 3.9.. – 3.9.4.
9. Configure the NVR/hDVR for each IP camera (add IP cameras to the management system). For
hDVRs attach analog cameras.
See subsection 3.9.5.
Verify connectability with and video from
the IP cameras at the NVR/hDVR.
