You will be able to discover and access the cameras from the EasyIP Decoder's web interface after
completing its initial device set-up.
To discover the EasyIP Decoder's IP address:
1. Connect the EasyIP Decoder's USB cable to your computer. Then power up the EasyIP system, if it is
not already on.
2. Open a media player such as VLC Media Player and view the USB stream (If you use VLC Media
Player, this is the "Open Capture Device" option under Media.). The camera is available as a video
capture device; the device name is EasyIP Decoder.
The video output is blue or black when no video input is selected.
3. Press the IP Address button to overlay the EasyIP Decoder's IP address and MAC address on the
video output.

To access the EasyIP Decoder's web interface:
Enter the IP address in your browser's address bar. See
Initial Access to the Web Interface
for information
about the warning messages that you will encounter the first time you access the device's web interface.
To complete the initial device set-up:
The first time you access any EasyIP device's web interface, it presents a landing page to set the admin
password. There may be additional initial device set-up tasks. After you complete the initial device set-up,
you will be able to work with the product.
Note
Because restoring factory defaults returns the product to a "like new" condition, you will need to do the
initial device set-up after you restore factory defaults.
