Web Configuration Panel
The web configuration panel (BirdUI) offers complete, remote access to the settings of P100. It also allows you to
apply firmware updates to your camera.
Access via a web browser (URL)
P100 is configured to automatically receive a network IP address from the computer network via DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol). Most corporate, education and home networks have a DHCP server present on the
network to allow this to occur.
An IP address obtained in this way can be discovered in several ways, including BirdDog Central Lite software
available from here.
NOTE: Your computer will need to have ‘Bonjour’ services loaded in order to access the unit via it’s user defined
name. Apple devices come pre-installed with Bonjour, while Windows devices need a plugin available from here .
Accessing P100 on a network without a DHCP server
Some standalone or private networks may not have a DHCP server. After 30 seconds of waiting for an automatically
assigned IP address, the camera will reassign to the designated fallback address (the default is 192.168.100.100).
In order to access the BirdUI on a network which is configured to a different subnet, change your computers IP
address to match the BirdDog unit. Once you gain access to the BirdUI, choose your IP address to match the rest
of the devices on your network.
For instructions on setting your computer's IP address, please consult your computer operating system manual or
IT support resources.
Password Management
Once you direct your web browser to the BirdUI you will
be presented with the Dashboard. To make changes to
any settings, you'll need to log in.
Default Password
The BirdUI is secured by a user-selectable password. The
default password is: birddog (one word, lower case).
Password Reset
To change the password simply login using the default
password, navigate to the System tab in the BirdUI, and
click the APPLY button.
It is recommended that you change this password in a network environment where P100 is shared with other users
(e.g. not private). By entering this password, the user is granted full access to the P100 configuration settings and
could interrupt a live program.
