5.1 Connecting Camera to Network
5.1.1 Connecting to Internet
Two common connection methods are shown below
1. Connecting via switch or router

changed so that it is on the same network segment as the camera
E.g.: The factory-preset default IP address of the camera is 192.168.100.100. The computer
IP address must be set with the same network segment, such as 192.168.100.101, so that
the computer can be connected correctly with the camera
Change network settings
5.1.2 Using the Browser to View the Images
Open the browser, and enter the IP address of the camera in the address bar
E.g.: http:/ / 192.168.100.100 (Default IP address)
