For initial access to the IP camera, users can search for the camera using the
V9360-6/V9360-12 Discovery Tool (DeviceSearch.exe), which can be found on
Vi
con’s website,
www.vicon-security.com
on the Software Downloads page.
Accessing the Camera by Device Search Software
Step 1:
Download V9360-6/V9360-12 Discovery Tool (DeviceSearch.exe)
from the website. Double click on the program DeviceSearch.exe.
Step 2:
After its window appears, click on the <Device Search> button on the
top. All the IP devices found will be listed in the page.
Step 3:
Find the camera in the list by its IP address and click on it. By factory
default, the camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via
DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the
camera will use APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing; link-local
address).
Step 4:
The default IP address of the camera may not be in the same LAN as
the IP address of the PC. If so, the IP address of the camera needs to
be changed. Right click on the camera and click <Network Setup>.
Meanwhile, record the MAC address of the camera, for future
identification.
Step 5:
The <Network Setup> page will display. Select <DHCP> and click
<Apply> at the bottom of the page. The camera will be assigned a new
IP address.
Step 6:
Click <OK> on the Note of setting change. Wait about one minute as it
re-searches for the camera.
Step 7:
Click on the <Device Search> button to re-search all the devices. Find
the camera in the list by its MAC address. Then double click or right
click and select <Browse> to access the camera directly via a web
browser.
