choose the prompt and click the right mouse, choose Network Configuration to set the static IP address of
the Camera to the same subnet as LAN. (Figure 2.2)

NOTE: If it shows” Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!”, you can also choose ”Obtain IP from
DHCP Server” to get a dynamic IP. (Figure 2.1)

2.1.1 Six Options

Choose the IP Camera list and Click right mouse, there are six options: (Figure 1.9)

Basic Properties, Network Configuration, Upgrade Firmware,
Refresh Camera List, Flush Arp Buffer, About IP Camera Tool.

Figure1.9

2.1.1 .1 Basic Properties

There is some device information in the Basic Properties, such as Device ID, System Firmware Version,
Web UI Version.（Figure 2.0）

The Device ID is the camera’s MAC ID (or Mac Address), which should be the same as showed on the
sticker at the bottom of camera. Every camera has its unique MAC ID.

Sometimes, if there is no IP address shown on the IP Camera tool, it might be blocked by a firewall. Add the
MAC ID to the router, and give it a fixed IP or add the MAC ID as a trusted site. There are two MAC Addresses,
one is Device MAC ID, the other is WIFI MAC ID.

WIFI MAC ID, you can find it from the sticker at the bottom of the camera, if this is sticker lost, you can login
your WIFI router, check the host status, which will show all the WIFI devices connected to this router, you can
also find the IPCAM’s WIFI MAC ID there.
