Encoder Configuration
The camera’s built-in encoder should be “bench configured” before the camera is installed in
the field. Each camera comes with a default IP address, which is typically listed on a sticker
affixed to it (some early models of the camera do not have this sticker. In that case, the
default IP address is
192.168.0.1
).
