Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first. The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.1.168 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0. However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit would obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you don’t need to change the camera’s IP address. But be sure to enable DHCP in “Network/Basic settings”.
1.Make sure the unit and your computer are in the same subnet.
2.Check whether if the networking available between the unit and the computer by executing ping the default IP address. To do this, simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the Start Menu, select Program. Then select Accessories and choose Command Prompt.), and type “Ping 192.168.1.168”. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.
3.Start Internet Explorer and enter IP address: 192.168.1.168. A login window should pop up. In the window, enter the default user name: admin and password: admin to log in.
Further information on the administration on the unit can be found in “3. Administration and Configuration”.
