PC Quickstart
This Quickstart section applies to the most common configuration for PC
users: You have a current generation router such as NetGear, LinkSys, Dlink or
Asus connected to a standard, non routing DSL or cable modem, or you have a
combination modem and router which has all functions in one box.
Some of our customers have more complicated networks because they have
added a wireless router to a wired router, or have business firewalls or VoIP
boxes in front of the main router. In those situations we recommend that you
consult an expert to simplify your network by eliminating redundant routers or
placing all but one router into bridge mode.
With your camera powered up and connected to the router, some PCs will
automatically discover the camera and show you an icon in the network device
list. On Windows XP this list is called “
My Network Places ”. On Windows 7
through 10 it is just called “ Network ”. If you don’t have a “ Network ” icon on
your desktop already, you can get to it by clicking on the Windows “ Start ”
menu at the bottom left, then click on “ Computer ” on the list at the right, and
then click on “ Network ” in the list on the left, immediately below “ Computer ”.
However, some PCs and routers do not have the
UPnP Universal Plug-and-Play
feature enabled. In following we will show alternate ways to find the local IP
address that your router has assigned to the camera.
If you are familiar with your router’s menus you can log in to your router and
see the IP address for the Sharx SCNC series network camera in one of your
router’s LAN or “home network” status screens. By the way, in this document
we’re using the words “router” and “gateway” interchangeably.
For PC users, we also supply a program called CameraSetup . It is available for
free download from www.sharxsecurity.com/downloads . If you install this
program on your PC, it will tell you the addresses of all current and older Sharx
cameras on your network. If this is the first time you are running the program
you may need to click “Refresh” several times. You can use this program to set
up cameras but we recommend that you use this program
only to find your IP
address . Then do all setup by going directly to the camera using the IP address,
either by double-clicking on the address or by typing the IP address into your
browser (some browsers need http:// in front)
If no camera is found it could be that your Antivirus or Firewall program is
blocking the
CameraSetup program. In that case you should either disable
