1. Make sure that the camera and the PC are connected on the same local network. The camera is set to
DHCP by default and will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server. Make sure that the local network
has a DHCP server. Routers typically have a DHCP server built in.
2. Install IP Scanner from the CD and run it after installation. IP Scanner is the tool for discovering the IP
cameras on the local network.
3.
In the device list, the IP address, model number, and MAC address of each device will be listed. Select
the applicable device and double click to open up the web viewer. You can also manually enter the IP
address in the address bar of the web browser.
Note
The IP camera will have DHCP turned on by default. If there is no DHCP server available, the
IP camera’s IP address will default to 192.168.0.66.
The login interface is shown below. Default Username and Password: admin/1234. After logging in,
follow directions to install applicable plug-ins for viewing video on the browser.

After logging in the web interface will be displayed as shown below:
Available functions on the Web Interface:
• Live view

there is not much movement in the scene, setting a GOP value higher than the

the value is set too high, and there is a high frequency of movement in the
video, there is a risk of frame skipping.
