10.4 Accessing the Camera
NOTE:
The default user name for 7500
Series is “
Admin
” and the default password is “
Camera
”.
The 7500 cameras are configured for DHCP and will have an IP address assigned if a DHCP server is on
the network. Use the CohuONVIFDiscovery software to find the camera IP address.
10.4.1 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.
To configure the network settings of the camera follow the next steps:
•
Connect the camera to the LAN, power on the camera.
•
Camera automatically will be assigned the DHCP address.
•
Discover the camera address using the CohuONVIFDiscovery software. See section 10.4.3.
•
Change the PC address to match the camera IP network address. See Section 10.4.5.
•
Change the camera assigned address to the desired static Address. See section 10.4.4.
10.4.2 Configuring cameras on networks without DHCP
Cameras installed on a network without a DHCP server will default to the Automatic Private IP Addressing
(APIPA), which is a failover mechanism of Microsoft Windows networks.
The IP address range is 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254 with a default class B subnet mask of
255.255.0.0.
To configure the network settings of the camera follow the next steps:
•
Connect the camera to the LAN, power on the camera.
•
Camera automatically will be assigned the APIPA address.
•
Discover the camera address using the CohuONVIFDiscovery software. See section 10.4.3.
•
Access the camera using APIPA address.
•
Change the camera assigned address to the desired static Address. See section 10.4.4.
