Accessing the Camera
Configure the IP Addresses
In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to be
within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have very similar IP
addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each other. There are 2 different
approaches to IP Address management in Local Area Networks
– by DHCP Server or Manually.
Using DHCP server to assign IP addresses
If you have connected the computer and the camera into the network that has a DHCP server running, then
you do not need to configure the IP addresses at all
– both the camera and the PC would request a unique IP
address from the DHCP server automatically. In such case, the camera will immediately be ready for the
access from the PC. The user, however, might not know the IP address of the camera yet. It is necessary to
know the IP address of the camera in order to access it using a Web browser.
The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network
is to use the simplest network search, built in the
Windows system
– just by pressing the “Network” icon, all the cameras of the local area network will be
discovered by Windows, thanks to the UPnP function support of our cameras.
In the example below, the camera model that has just been connected to the network is successfully found.
Double-click the mouse on the camera model name, the default browser of the PC is automatically launched
and the IP address of the target camera is already filled in the address bar of the browser.
