Chapter 2 Getting Started
2.1 Looking Up the IP Address
By default, the camera is assigned with a dynamic IP address by the DHCP server when the
camera is connected to the network. This IP address remains unchanged unless you unplug
or disconnect your camera from the network.
Note:
If your router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be
192.168.0.10
. In
this case, it is strongly recommended to modify the IP address to avoid IP address conflict
with other GeoVision IP devices on the same LAN. To change the IP address, see
2.2
Changing the IP Address
later in this chapter.
Follow the steps below to check the camera’s dynamic IP address:
1.
Download and install the
GV-IP Device Utility
program from.
Note:
The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN as the
camera you wish to configure.
2.
On the PC desktop, select
Start
, point to
Programs
and select
GV IP Device Utility
. The
Utility window appears and automatically searches for the IP devices on the same LAN.
3.
Click
the
Name
or
Mac Address
column to sort.
