2. SOFTWARE OPERATION
2.1 IP Camera Tool
When camera has been installed, open IP Camera Tool program on your computer. It
will automatically begin searching for your camera over the LAN.
There are three possible scenarios:
1) If no camera is found on the LAN: after about one minute of searching, the field will display “IP
Server not found” and automatically shut down IP Camera Tool program. Check if DHCP is
enabled on your router, or disable MAC address filtering if on WiFi. Also, make sure that your
firewall (if used) isn’t blocking access to the camera.
2) If cameras are found on the LAN: all of the cameras will be listed and the total number will be
displayed in the result field (as shown above).
3) If cameras found on the LAN do not share the same subnet with the computer: a prompt will
be displayed. Click right mouse button to choose “Network Configuration.” This will set the IP
address of the camera to the same subnet as the LAN. You can also choose “Obtain IP from
DHCP server” or “set a static IP for the camera.”
NOTE: If you could not find the camera’s IP on the IP Camera Tool, check that DHCP is enabled
on your router, that your MAC address filter is disabled and that a firewall or antivirus software
isn’t blocking the camera.
