H.264 Network IP Camera User Manual
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
e. In this test, the message “Request timed out” indicates that your PC cannot reach the device
with that IP address, and that address is probably not in use. Enter this number into Table 2. If
this test indicated that this IP address is in use, try other IP addresses using the steps above
until an unused address is found.
2.4 Check LAN for default IP address compatibility
Because all SC Black cameras and encoders are factory configured with the static IP address
192.168.0.100, check the LAN before connecting your camera to ensure that network conflicts won’t
occur.
At a Microsoft Windows computer attached to the LAN subnet where the camera will be connected, open
a Command Prompt window and enter:
ping 192.168.0.100
The “Request timed out” response indicates that the IP address is not in use and the camera can be
connected without causing errors.
2.5 Install IPAdmin Tool
The IPAdmin Tool, included on the CD mini disk, will discover cameras installed on your network and
enable you to perform the initial network setup for each camera. After a camera is setup on the network,
the Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer web browser can be used to see video from the camera, set the
camera’s password, date and time, finalize camera hardware adjustments, and configure the camera for
functional requirements.
The IPAdmin Tool can be loaded on a Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating system.
To use this utility for the initial setup of your camera, your computer must be connected to the same
network subnet as your camera.
