1.2 Connection
1.2.1 Default IP Address
The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.0.20 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0. When setting default IP address of 192.168.0.20
the camera will check to see if that address is already in use and will bump the last octet of the address by 1 if it is. The bump
last octet of IP Address by 1 will continue until an unused IP address is found.
However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit would obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server
so that you don’t need to change the camera’s IP address. The factory default is DHCP On and 192.168.0.20 assignment only
occurs when camera is set for DHCP but a DHCP server does not respond to request for an IP address.
1.2.2 Accessing the Camera
Note: For security purposes, it is required that you create a user account when you access the camera for the first time. In its
out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and password assigned. In this state the camera does not allow for
video to stream or configurations to change. It is required that you set an administrative user name and password at this time.
Creation of an administrative user changes the state of the camera to its “operational mode,” where credentials must be
provided in order to view live video or change its configuration. This first user configuration can also be done in VxToolbox
software.
There is no provision for recovering a forgotten administrator user name or password. The camera can be restored to its
out-of-the-box, no user name and password configuration by powering down, depressing the Factory Defaults button, and
holding the button down for at least four seconds while powering the camera back up.
Once the camera is powered back up the user will be prompted to create a username and password.
The recommended browsers for your camera are Mozilla® Firefox®, Google Chrome™, or Microsoft™Edge™ for Microsoft®
Windows® operating systems; and Firefox for Mac® operating systems. For supported browser versions, refer to the
Specification Sheet for your product.
1. Open a web browser.
2. Type the camera’s IP address or host name in your browser’s address bar and then select Enter.
Note: You can obtain your camera’s IP address or access the camera using VXToolbox software.
3. If a user name and password exist, a log in dialog box appears. Otherwise a user creation dialog box appears, and the user
will be required to create an administrative user to proceed.
