Step 3 - Initialise the Camera
IP Camera Initialisation
Initialising a camera is the process of setting a password on it. All cameras manufactured post 2018 need to be initialised before use.
If connected to the POE Port of an NVR manufacturer post 2018 this process should happen automatically.
Option 1 - Initialisation via the Web Interface
The Camera will need to be connected to the Laptop via an Ethernet cable.
You can access the Web Interface by entering the camera's IP address into the address bar of Internet Explorer. 192.168.1.108 is the default IP of our cameras.
You may need to change the IP address of your computer to reach it.
How to change the IP Address of your computer
- Open Settings.
- Select Network & Internet.
- Select Status, then Change Adapter Options.
-
Right-click the network adapter you want to change the IP address for, and select Properties.
- Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) item.
- Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address in the same range as the device you are trying to access. (E.g when trying to access 192.168.1.108 use a IP address in the 192.168.1.x range.) Note: This cannot be the same as the device you are trying to connect to or any other device on the same network. Save your changes on both windows.
- Type the IP address of the device you are trying to access into the address bar of your web browser.
- Once finished configuring the device, change the adapter settings back to normal by following steps 1-6 and clicking Obtain an IP address automatically.
