2.4.1 Network Connection & IP Assignment
The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for
access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to
connected devices. By the factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address
automatically via DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server the network camera
will use 192.168.1.100 as the default IP address.
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the SmartManager utility, which can
be found on Vi
con’s website,
vicon-security.com
under Software Downloads, to search and
allocate an IP address, or reset the product to the factory default settings and then perform the
installation again.
1) Connect the network camera/device to the network and power up.
2) Start SmartManager utility (Start > All programs > SmartManager > SmartManager).
The main window will display, and after a short while any network devices connected to the
network will be displayed in the list.
3) Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. A pop-up menu will display as
below.
4) Select Assign IP Address. The Assign IP window will display. Enter the required IP address.
NOTE:
For more information, refer to the SmartManager User’s Manual.
