Note
The LAN port of the camera supports auto MDI/MDIX (Medium dependent interface crossover) so there is no
need to use cross-over cable.
To access the camera, the PC must be on the same network as the camera. The default IP address of the
camera is a static one (192.168.1.30). Configure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.1. X (where X is a number
between 2 to 254, excluding 30 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0, and then your PC should be able to access
the camera.
Type 2: Connecting Camera(s) to LAN
To add the camera(s) to an existing LAN, just connect the camera(s) to the hub or switch on your network. If
you want to provide the camera power via the Ethernet connection, a PoE-enabled hub/switch is required.
