Web Interface
The camera's web interface allows control via a network connection, using a browser. Password-protected
pages provide administrative access to tasks such as setting passwords, changing the IP address,
viewing diagnostics, and installing firmware updates. The user login (or guest access, if it is
enabled) provides access to camera controls similar to those available from the IR remote.
You will need to know the camera's IP address to use the web interface. If the LAN has a DHCP server,
the camera will get its IP address, gateway and routing information automatically and you will be able to
browse to it. If not, you will need to configure the camera to use a static IP address.
To display the camera's IP address:
1. Point the remote at the camera and press the Data Screen button. The camera overlays its IP address
and MAC address on the video output.
2. Press the button again to dismiss the information display.
If the address is 169.254.1.1, the camera is using its default IP address and you will need to configure it for
your network. You can configure the camera’s static IP address either through the network or from a
computer connected directly to its Ethernet port. You may need a crossover cable.
Note
Work with your IT department to determine the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information.
To access the web interface:
Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar. If you use the hostname, you may need to
enter
http://
or
https://
as a prefix to keep the browser from treating it as a search query.
