Chapter 3 Accessing the Camera
Once installed, the IP Speed Dome is accessible on a network. Follow these steps to
configure the network settings and access your surveillance images:
3.1 Installing on a Network
These instructions describe the basic connections to install the camera on the network.
1. Using a standard network cable, connect the camera to your network.
2. Connect power using the appropriate power adapter. For details, see
1.7.1 Connecting
the Power
.
3. By default, the GV-IP Speed Dome is assigned with an unused IP address by the DHCP
server when the camera is connected to the network. This IP address remains
unchanged unless you unplug or disconnect your camera from the network.
•
To see how to look up the IP address assigned by the DHCP server, refer to
3.1.1
Checking the Dynamic IP Address
.
•
If your router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be
192.168.0.10
. In
this case, it is strongly suggested to modify the IP address to avoid IP address
conflict with other GeoVision IP device on the same LAN. To assign a new static IP
address, see
3.1.2 Changing the IP Address
.
NOTE:
When accessing the IP Speed Dome for the first time, you must set your
browser to allow a one-time installation of DC Viewer. Refer to
Appendix A
,

DC Viewer
