Preparing Windows
®
to View Video Stream
This section describes the required procedure for preparing Windows to view the video stream.
In order to stream video in Windows XP™, some basic configuration needs to be completed first. The
following applies to Windows XP with Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.
•
Default IP Addresses for the Camera Server – The camera is shipped with the following default IP
addresses.
— Wired Network: 192.168.1.254
— The subnet mask is the 255.255.255.0. This means that “192.168.1” is the significant portion
of the IP address and must be the same on the PC in order to communication with the camera.
•
To initially connect to the camera and configure it for the broader network, it is recommended to
directly connect the camera to the PC. Then temporarily change the PC’s network settings to match
the camera. Connect to the camera and change its settings to the broader network configuration
then change the PC back and reboot the camera. Confirm that the settings are right and connect
both the PC and the camera to the general network.
•
All of the above settings can be configured through the web interface. Note that changes made via
the web interface will be persistent; the camera will retain the new address on reset.
•
Wireless connectivity is not supported at this time.
