Default IP Addresses

The Guardian VIP system uses Mesh radios to connect between the camera nodes and the Base 

Station. Additionally there is an IP encoder to accompany each Mesh radio.   

Each of these devices has a default IP address, as detailed in the following table which describes a 

system with a Base Station, one Relay Node and three CCTV nodes.

Both the Mesh Radio and the Video Encoders have a web browser built in. 

Pointing a PC web browser to one of the above default IP addresses will display a web page that will 

allow the user to configure the device. 

The description of how to configure the Mesh Radio and the Video Encoder is described in 

subsequent sections of this user guide.
