Web Interface
The camera's web interface allows control via a network connection, using a browser. Password-protected
pages provide administrative access to tasks such as setting passwords, changing the IP address,
viewing diagnostics, and installing firmware updates. The user login (or guest access, if it is
enabled) provides access to camera controls similar to those available from the IR remote.
You will need to know the camera's IP address to use its web interface. If the network has a DHCP server,
the camera will get its IP address, gateway and routing information automatically and you will be able to
browse to it. If not, you will need to configure the camera to use a static IP address.
For cameras powered by a OneLINK HDMI or OneLINK Bridge: The OneLINK device has its own web
interface. Refer to the appropriate OneLINK manual for information on its web interface.
Getting the Camera's IP Address
You will need to be able to view the camera's video output.
1. Press the Data Screen button on the remote. The display presents the camera's IP address and MAC
address.
2. Press the Data Screen button again to dismiss the information.
If the address is 169.254.1.1, the camera is using its default IP address. This usually means one of these
things:
n
The network automatically assigns IP addresses, but the camera is not connected to the network.
n
The network does not automatically assign IP addresses, and you need to configure the camera for the
network. See
Configuring the Camera with a Static IP Address
.
Accessing the Web Interface
Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar. You may need to enter
http://
or
https://
as a prefix to keep the browser from treating it as a search query.
(Example:
http://10.30.200.125
)
Note
The cameras in the RoboSHOT product line all have very similar web interfaces. Although some of the
screen shots in this manual may be from different models of camera than the one you have, your camera's
web interface should present the same controls, organized in the same way.
