Connect an M12
– RJ45 Ethernet cable between the LCam and a Ethernetport (PC or switch)
Connect a Cable for Power supply to the other M12 connector
Power up the cable, wait for approx. 1 minute for LCam to boot. If you hear a faint noise, do
not worry.
Detect the L
cam’s address
Either: Run the program hipca detect.exe' and identify the LCam you want to talk with
Or: Use default fixed address (see below). You may h
ave to change the PC’s IP to an address
like 192.168.60.101, so it is in the same sub-net
Open Internet browser on the computer
In the browser’s address line type in the IP address of the LCAM 408 in the form
“192.168.60.101”
Watch for the camera’s web server surface to show up, should appear as in “Menu general
appearance”
Proceed with setting password and video parameters. For that you need a password (see
below for default)
Start streaming video
When finished, start the streaming client as shown below.
