Indoor/Outdoor Mini-Dome IP Camera
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
When your IP camera is attached to a network and initially powered on, it attempts acquire compatible network settings from
a DHCP server. If it cannot find a DHCP server, it configures itself with the following static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
setting, which may or may not be compatible with other devices on the network.
IP address:
192.168.0.100
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Gateway:
192.168.0.1
Whether it acquires a dynamic (changeable) IP address and other network settings from a DHCP server, or uses the default static
(fixed, unchanging) settings, your camera must be configured with static network settings that are compatible with the network
configuration. Additionally, if DHCP is not used on your network, DIGIOP Black cameras must be installed on the network and
configured with new network settings one at a time to avoid addressing conflicts.
Use the following procedure to setup and apply compatible, static, network settings for your camera. If connecting your camera to a
large enterprise network, consult with your network administrator for network settings before attaching the camera to the LAN to
ensure that your camera won’t conflict with other devices. Your network administrator should also setup WAN (Internet) access to
the camera, if that is needed.
If you encounter a problem and need to contact Technical Support, first complete the chart in step 1 about your computer (PC) and
camera network settings, if possible. Support will need this information to provide assistance.
2.6.1 Configuring cameras on networks with DHCP
In networks with a DHCP server, the IP camera will acquire dynamic (changeable) network settings when it is initially powered on.
These dynamic settings can easily be converted to static settings, or changed to other static settings that are also compatible with
your network.
1.
Connect your camera to the LAN, then power on the camera.
2.
Open the IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the file
IPAdminTool.exe
to start the application.
When the IPAdmin Tool starts, it will discover all the IP devices it supports that exist on the network. The discovery process
may take a few minutes.
