b. Connect cameras to a router, switch or gateway – This type
of installation uses the routers and switches you may already
have, however, it requires each camera to also have access
to a separate power source. Make sure the routers and/or
switches are all connected back to the main network directly
or through other routers/gateways/switches. Routers that
feature DHCP networks can be used to create an internal
network of cameras without needing an outside Internet
connection. These DHCP routers will assign each camera an
IP address. In this case, any device needed to view the cam-
era feed will also need to be connected to the DHCP router.
3. Download GS_Search and log into camera’s web user inter-
face to setup each camera – Now that the cameras are network
connected, they’ll be given an IP address. Go to http://www.
grandstream.com/support/tools and download the GS_Search
tool to identify all of the cameras on the network and the IP
addresses of those cameras. These IP addresses are used to tap
into each camera’s web user interface. Just type the IP address
into the browser, and enter “admin” as both the user name and
password. You can change this username and password upon
login.
