SECTION 3: EQUIPMENT TESTING AND SYSTEM SETUP
10. Install Reflection on a PC and setup a connection to the NVR/hDVR. Verify functionality.
See
subsection 3.10.
3.1 Check LAN for default IP address compatibility
Because all SC Black cameras and encoders are factory configured with the static IP address
192.168.0.100, check the LAN before connecting your camera to ensure that network conflicts won’t
occur.
At a Microsoft Windows computer attached to the LAN subnet where the camera will be connected
(surveillance network), open a Command Prompt window (press and hold down the
Windows
key and
press
r
) and Open
cmd
.
At the command prompt, enter:
ping 192.168.0.100
The “
Request timed out
” response indicates that the IP address is not currently in use and the camera
can probably be connected without causing conflicts. A “
Reply from ..
” message received from a ping
indicates that an active device with that IP address exists on the network, and new devices with that
address shouldn’t be attached to that network. In the latter case, find a network where 192.168.0.100
is not in use, and configure your cameras on that network before installing them on the surveillance
network.
