Internal Web Pages and Control
The internal web pages will allow control of the HD-USB and allow the user to control the camera via an internet
connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to set security passwords, change the IP
address if not dynamic, view diagnostics, access the firmware upgrade page and more.
To access the HD-USB’s web pages, first include your Network Administrator for the network that the camera will
be placed. Access to the internal web pages can be achieved three ways for set-up of the HD-USB’s IP address
and other administrative functions.
DHCP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP).
If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server,
then the IP address, gateway and routing information will
automatically be assigned. The HD-USB software is defaulted to
DHCP. To find out the assigned IP address please have the network
administrator provide the IP address and enter that into one of the
approved browsers.
The HD-USB will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using
DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no
DHCP server can be found.
Static IP Set-up
It is highly recommended that the Network Administrator is involved
on the Static IP set-up of the HD-USB camera…really.
The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to
a computer using a cross-over cable. Depending on the age of the
computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps
are the same for network or direct connect to a computer.
The default address of the HD-USB camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different
computer OS types all have their way of doing things, but they are essentially doing the same thing, changing the
IP address so the web pages of the HD-USB are accessible.
For Windows XP Pro, the routine to get to the network settings is fairly simple. Click on the Start button > Control
Panels > Network Connections > Right Click Local Area Connection > click on Properties > click on Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) > click on Properties and IP Address and Subnet Mask numbers are displayed. It is best to
record the addresses that are in the computer so they can be re-assigned when the operation is finished.
Enter 169.254.1.2 (which is the default address 169.254.1.1 plus 1) and Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 and click OK
> and then OK again. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Chrome) and enter http://169.254.1.1 and
the Log-in page will appear.
With Apple OS X (10.7 and above), the steps are a bit different but essentially the same…Go to > System
Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Configure IPv4: Manually > Enter in 169.254.1.2 and Subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 and click Apply. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Safari) and enter http://169.254.1.1
and the Log-in page will appear.
Windows 7 has its own set-up that is a bit different from Windows XP Pro, but similar in that the whole purpose of
the first time set up is to give the HD-USB PTZ Camera an address that can be used over and over again by
users or administrators to control the camera.
Whoops - Reset to Defaults:
If for some reason the IP address was entered wrong or needs to be erased and
re-entered, remember Rotary Switch position “C” on the lower USB resource card to RESET and RESTORE TO
FACTORY DEFAULTS. Set the switch to “c” and is power cycle the camera to restore the default IP address.
Move the switch back and start again.
Connect to the Local Area
Network or to a computer
with a Cross-over cable
