CHAPTER 4: The iAM-VIDEO Web GUI
The self-contained iAM-VIDEO Web GUI allows you to customize the configuration
of the iAM-VIDEO to suit your needs.
Web Browser / Control Device
Any web browser application running on any networked device such as desktop or
laptop computer, tablet or smart phone can be used with the iAM-VIDEO Web GUI.
Tablets with no network connector need to be linked to a copper LAN through a Wi-
Fi adapter.
Although they can be used, smart phones are not recommended because their
smaller screen size would require more scrolling, making operation challenging.
The Chrome
®
web browser is recommended for speed and compatibility.
First Time- IP Assignments
The iAM-VIDEO can operate with a static (fixed) or dynamic (DHCP) IPv4 address.
The default address will be
172.27.2.2
when received from the factory or when
switched from DHCP to static addressing mode. There two basic types of
connections that may be used to connect the iAM-VIDEO to a web browser, a
Peer-
to-Peer
Connection
or a
Network Connection
.
Peer-to-Peer Connection
The most straightforward way to connect the iAM-VIDEO to a web browser, free of
possible network conflicts, is to establish a static peer-to-peer connection between
the setup computer and the iAM-VIDEO. A 10/100/1000 MHz Ethernet switch may
be used in between, but is not required.
Figure 4-1 shows an example of suitable address settings for the host computer in
a Windows control panel.
