Software installation
It is necessary that you register your camera as soon as possible at
scallopimaging.com/registration
so that you can download and
install the D7-180 Software Installation Driver files.
It is critically important that you download and install these
drivers before operating the camera. The camera will not oper-
ate without installing these files on your computer.
All registered users will be able to remotely download and install all
future camera software upgrades at no charge from the
scallopimaging.com website. We can notify you when future software
enhancements become available.
Accessing the Camera
On a network
Scallop Imaging IP cameras are IPV4LL compliant. If you have a DHCP server
on your network, the DHCP server “router” will assign the camera an IP ad-
dress automatically. If a DHCP server “router” is not on the network, the cam-
era will be assigned a 169.254.x.x address. If you are setting up the camera
without a DHCP server “router” you will need to set your computer to obtain
and IP address.
Examples:
Established network:
1. Set laptop to obtain an IP address automatically.
2. Connect and power all devices.
3. Cameras will show in camera finder with individual 169.254.x.x addresses.
