Accessing the Camera for the First Time
The camera comes with a web-based setup utility, allowing you to view the video of the camera and configure the
camera for optimal use in your environment.
To access the camera's web-based control utility, you need a PC that uses one of the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 10 or later, Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
Accessing the camera for the first time
Step Action
1
Make appropriate network and power connection (typically PoE).
The camera will automatically get an IP address if connected to a DHCP network. If DHCP addressing
is not available, the camera will use its default fixed address: 192.168.1.168.
2
Find camera(s) on the network using Illustra Connect or another utility; or if using fixed addresses,
connect to the camera on its default address.
3
Enter the default ID and password when prompted—ID: admin, Password: admin.
4
Select security type: standard or enhanced.
Note:
Both security types ask the user to change the username and password, this is advised in standard security mode
and required when selecting enhanced security. Creating a new username at this stage automatically replaces the
default admin/admin.

Connecting to IP cameras and configuring them can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. Typing static
IP addresses, or naming cameras without seeing where they are pointed, often results in longer installations.
Illustra Connect eliminates all of these issues with a unique feature set that includes a one-touch IP conflict
resolver and snapshot tool . Simply bring up all of the cameras out of the box, enter the IP range provided by the
customer's IT department and click
OK.
