Network Connection
Default IP Address
Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first bootup. The
default IP address of the unit 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 obtains an IP address automatically
from the DHCP server so that you do not need to change the IP address of the camera.
Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.
• Connect to a PC directly: Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet
cable. This requires POE switch or injector.
• Connecting a camera to a Local Area Network (LAN): To add the camera to an existing
LAN, connect the camera to the POE hub or switch on your network.

protocols HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SMTP. When the camera is in Enhanced Security mode, you
require a complex seven character Administrator password to make changes to these protocols.
Refer to Summary of Security Modes on page 84 for further information regarding the differences
between Standard and Enhanced Security modes.
