4.1.3 LAN CONNECTION WITHOUT LOCAL DHCP SERVER
Due to the large number of variations possible in the network structure, it is difficult to predict if the camera will be
contactable using the Local Link IP address in a given network. The simplest solution in this case is to use the 'Direct
Cable Connection' method below to configure the camera for a fixed IP address in a useable range (consult local IT
support) before connecting the camera directly to the local network.
4.1.4 DIRECT CABLE CONNECTION WITH DHCP
If required, it is possible to operate a standalone DHCP server on a computer used for camera configuration, as an
alternative to using the Link Local addressing scheme. Various DHCP server software is available for different operating
systems. For Windows based PCs, one suitable free option is “DHCP Server for Windows” from
http://www.dhcpserver.de/ . No specific setup help can be offered here as each software will be different, but usually
setting a 'pool' range of only 1 address will mean any camera connected will be assigned the same address.
4.2 CAMERA CONFIGURATION VIA WEB INTERFACE
Note : Most javascript capable web browsers are supported for operation of the camera. Most testing is carried out
using Firefox.
To view video streams in the web browser, it may be necessary to install additional software. Consult 'Web Browser
Configuration' in the Appendix of this document.
Open a web browser on a connected PC or other web-enabled device, and in the address bar enter the IP address as
determined above:- e.g. http://192.168.2.1
After a short delay, the entry web page of the camera should appear.
Select 'Admin functions' > 'Networking configuration'.
(Administrator level login privileges will be required for access, the default admin account is Username 'admin',
password '9999')
