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.
Getting the Camera's IP Address
You will need to be able to view the camera's video output.
1. Press the Data Screen button on the remote. The display presents the camera's IP address and MAC
address.
2. Press the Data Screen button again to dismiss the information.
If the address is 169.254.1.1, the camera is using its default IP address. This usually means one of these
things:
n
The network automatically assigns IP addresses, but the camera is not connected to the network.
n
The network does not automatically assign IP addresses, and you need to configure the camera for the
network. See
Configuring the Camera with a Static IP Address
.
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 Network/PoE+ port. You may need a crossover cable.
Accessing the Web Interface
Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar. You may need to enter
http://
or
https://
as a prefix to keep the browser from treating it as a search query.
(Example:
http://10.30.200.125
)
