Static IP Set-up:
It is highly recommended that the Network Administrator and/or network personnel are involved
on the Static IP set-up of the HD-USB camera. Please do not try to set the Static IP of the
camera without help from network personnel…please?
The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable.
Depending on the age of the computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same
for network or direct connect to a computer.
The default address of the HD-USB camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different
computer OS types all have their own way of doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the
same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the HD-USB are accessible.
Examples (directly connected to a computer for set-up):
For Windows XP Pro, the routine to get to the network settings is fairly simple. Click on the Start button > Control
Panels > Network Connections > Right Click Local Area Connection > click on Properties > click on Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) > click on Properties and IP Address and Subnet Mask numbers are displayed. It is best to
record the addresses that are in the computer so they can be re-assigned when the operation is finished. Enter
169.254.1.2 (which is the default address 169.254.1.1 plus 1) and Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 and click OK > and
then OK again. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Chrome) and enter http://169.254.1.1 and the
Log-in page will appear.
With Apple OS X (10.7 and above), the steps are a bit different but essentially the same…Go to > System
Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Configure IPv4: Manually > Enter in 169.254.1.2 and Subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 and click Apply. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Safari) and enter http://169.254.1.1
and the Log-in page will appear.
Windows 7 has its own set-up that is a bit different from Windows XP Pro, but similar in that the whole purpose of
the Static IP first time set up is to give the HD-USB PTZ Camera an address that can be used over and over
again by users or administrators to control the camera.
LOGIN Page:
The Login Page will appear if there
is a user name assigned by the
administrator.
Assigning a user name can limit
access to the admin menus by a
general user.
By default, the password for the
User account is: password.
The Administrator can set the name
and password for the User account.
If no user name is assigned, the
web page will automatically open to
the IP Control page.
User name is blank
