following figure.
Figure 2-1-1 Connect the camera to the PC directly
2.1.2 Connect via a Switch or a Router
Refer to the following figure to set network camera over the LAN via the switch or router.
Figure 2-1-2 Connect via a switch or a Router
2.2 Dynamic IP Connection
Connecting the network camera via a router
Step1: Connect the network camera to a router;
Step2: On the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the Subnet mask and the Gateway;
Step3: On the router, set port forwarding. E.g. 80, 8000 and 554 ports. The steps for port
forwarding vary depending on different routers. Please look up the router's user manual for
assistance with port forwarding;
Step4: Apply a domain name from a domain name provider;
19
Step5: Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router;
Step6: Visit the camera via the domain name.

You can either change the IP address of the camera via Smart Tools or browser. Please connect the
camera in the same LAN of your computer.
3.1.1 Assigning An IP Address Using Smart Tools
Smart Tools is a software tool which can automatically detect multiple online Milesight network
cameras in the LAN, set IP addresses, and manage firmware upgrades. It’s recommended to use
when assigning IP addresses for multiple cameras.
Step1: Install Smart Tools (The software could be downloaded from our website);
Step2: Start Smart Tools, click the IPC Tools page, then enter the device information, such as IP
address, MAC address, Status, Port number, Netmask, and Gateway, then all related
Milesight network cameras in the same network that will be displayed. Details are shown as
shown below;
21
Step3: Select a camera or multiple cameras according to the MAC addresses;
Select single camera
Select multiple cameras
Step4: If the selected camera shows "Active" in the status bar, you can directly type the User Name
and Password (Camera with version lower than 4x.7.0.69 is using admin/ms1234 by default),
change the IP address or other network values, and then click “Modify” button;
22
If the selected camera shows "Inactive" in the status bar(Camera with version V4x.7.0.69 or
above), clickto set the password when using it for the first time. You can also set the

activation was successful.
Note:
(1) Password must be 8 to 32 characters long, contain at least one number and one letter.
(2) You need to upgrade Smart Tools version to V2.4.0.1 or above to activate the camera.
After activation, you can change the IP address or other network values, and then click “Modify”
button.
23
Step5: Change the IP address successfully;
Step6: By double clicking the selected camera or the browser of interested camera, you can access
the camera via web browser directly. The Internet Explorer window will pop up.
More usage of Smart Tools, please refer to the Smart Tools User Manual.
3.1.2 Assign An IP Address via Browser
If the network segment of the computer and that of the camera are different, please follow the
24
steps to change the IP address:
Step1: Change the IP address of computer to 192.168.5.0 segment, here are two ways as below:
a.StartControl PanelNetwork and Internet ConnectionNetwork Connection
Local Area Connection, and double click it. (Refer to Figure 3-1-8);
Figure 3-1-8 Setting Network Segment IP Address of Computer
b.Click “Advanced”, and then click “IP settings”“IP address”“Add” (See Figure
3-1-9). In the pop-up window, enter an IP address that in the same segment with
Milesight network camera ( e.g. 192.168.5.61, but please note that this IP address
shall not conflict with the IP address on the existing network);
Step2: Start the browser. In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the camera:
http://192.168.5.190;
25
Step3: If the camera’s firmware version is lower than V4x.7.0.69, it will directly display the login
