4 Accessing the IP Camera for the First Time

After you install the IP camera, you can access it by using a PC and configure basic
settings. To do so, follow these steps from a PC that is on the same network as the
IP camera and that is running Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) or higher:

Procedure

Step 1 Start Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit only) or later, enter HTTPS://ip_address in

the Address field, then press Enter.

Replace ip_address with the IP address that the IP camera obtains through
DHCP in your network. If the camera does not obtain this IP address after
90 seconds, enter 192.168.0.100.

The Login window appears.

Step 2 Enter the default login credentials:

• Username: admin

• Password: admin

The Initialization window appears.

Step 3 In the Password and Confirm Password fields in the admin row, enter a

password for the IP camera administrator. Enter the same password in both
fields. The password is case sensitive and can contain up to 8 letters,
numbers, and special characters, but no spaces.

Step 4 In the Password and Conform Password fields in the root row, enter a

password for accessing the IP camera through a SSH connection. Enter the
same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and can contain
up to 8 letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces.

You use this password if you need to troubleshoot the IP camera through an
SSH connection with the assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Step 5 In the HTTP area, click the HTTP radio button if you want to allow both

HTTP and HTTPS connections to the IP camera.
