Network Connection & IP Assignment
The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for access. Most
networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. By the
factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP server. If your network
does not have a DHCP server the network camera will use 192.168.1.100 as the default IP address.
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the “Smart Manager” utility to search and
allocate an IP address to your products, or reset the product to the factory default settings and then perform
the installation again. The utility can be found on the Vicon website
www.vicon‐security.com
, on the
Software Downloads page for Vicon cameras.
1) Connect the network camera/device to the network and power up.
2) Start SmartManager utility (Start

3) Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. The pop-up menu below displays.
4) Select Assign IP. The Assign IP window displays. Enter the required IP address.
