The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network
is to use the simplest network
search, built in the Windows system
– just by pressing the “Network” icon, all the cameras of the
local area network will be discovered by Windows, thanks to the UPnP function support of our
cameras.
In the example below, the camera that has just been connected to the network is successfully
found.
When the left mouse is clicked on the camera model name, the default browser of the PC is
automatically launched and the IP address of the target camera is already filled in the address
bar of the browser.
If you work with our cameras regularly, then
there is even a better way to discover the
cameras in the network
– by using
IP Utility
. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not
only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC
addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple
devices at the same time.
