Appendix A: Ping IP Address
The ping (Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is
accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very
useful tool to confirm whether or not Internet camera is installed or if the IP address conflicts
with any other device over the network.
If you want to make sure the IP address of Internet camera, utilize the ping command as
follows:

z
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet camera.
The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.
If you want to detect any other device that conflicts with the IP address of Internet camera, you
also can utilize the ping command but you must disconnect the Internet camera from the
network first.
