2. SOFTWARE OPERATION
2.1 IP Camera Tool
When the camera has been mounted properly, you can double click the Icon “IP Camera Tool”
And a dialog box as Figure 1.9 will pop up.
Figure1.9
Note: The software finds out cameras’ IP addresses automatically over LAN.
There are 3 scenarios:
1. No IP Cameras found within LAN. After searching for 1 minute, the Result Field will show “not found IP
Server” and the program will shut down automatically.
2. IP Cameras have been installed within your LAN. All the IP Cameras will be listed and the total number is
displayed in the result field as shown in Figure 1.9
3. The IP Cameras installed within LAN do not share the same subnet with the monitoring PC. A prompt as
shown in result field (prompt: Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!). Click the left mouse button to
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 2.3)
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 2.2)

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 2.1）
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, and the other is WIFI MAC ID.
WIFI MAC ID, you can find it from the sticker at the bottom of the camera, if this sticker is lost, you can login
your 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.
