Discovering devices in Windows Network
If the IP camera is installed in a network with DHCP and UPnP services, after obtaining an IP address from
DHCP server,
it can then be discovered in “Windows Network” of a client PC, see figure below. The reason for
being automatically discovered is that the IP camera’s UPnP is default enabled (see
Network
Network
Connectivity
).
NOTE
The term
“
Windows Network
” in given figure above is used in Windows Vista / 7. It can be referred to Windows XP “
My
Network Places
” which possesses the same capability of discovering UPnP devices.
Right-click on the device
and select “Properties”, the pop-up window shows all the information related to the
device, including the
web access info
. Use the web address to connect to the IP camera. Or simply double-
click on the selected device, which gets immediately access to the camera webpage.
