Using a PC to find available IP Addresses 

 

Before setting up your CVR4 you will first need to find it an IP address. This process is to help you find 

what IP Addresses are currently in use on your computer network, and in turn which ones are still 

available. If you are not connecting the CVR4 to a computer network (or internet connection) then any 

default IP address range may be used. 

e.g.192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.130.

 

 

Before starting you must first have a copy of the “Free IP Scanner” Tool which can be downloaded here: 

http://downloads.rhinoco.com.au/dvr/Free_IP_Scanner.zip

 

 

1.  Open the Free IP Scanner Tool (if it asks for registration just press skip as it is free to use). 

 

2.  Begin the scan by clicking on   

 

3.  The “Free IP Scanner” will automatically detect all IP Addresses on your Computer network and 

display which ones are in use by listing with a Green tick beside them. 

 

 

Those which have a red cross beside them are not currently in use and may be available. 

 

 

Note: Even though lower numbered address may be free (such as “

?.?.?.8

”)    we recommend using 

higher number which are unlikely to be used in the immediate future such as “

?.?.?.100

” onwards. 

 

 

 

4.  If you wish to Export the list, you can do this by going to FILE and choosing EXPORT. It can then be 

saved as text file and even emailed.
