Connecting to the Camera

Connect the RJ45 network cable from the camera’s LAN port to your network; e.g., the router or a LAN switch, then power on the camera. The boot sequence will take about one minute. You will need to use the camera’s power adapter, unless your camera supports PoE. In that case you can connect the RJ45 cable to a PoE-enabled switch or injector to power the camera.

By default, the network camera (or video server) searches for a DHCP server on the network and obtains an IP address automatically. A very common DHCP server is a router, a device that is found on most networks.

The presence of a DHCP server on your network simplifies the installation and users with limited knowledge of TCP/IP networks can install the network camera in minutes. If no DHCP server is found, the network camera will revert to its default IP address: 192.168.1.221.

About Network Camera Firmware:

Updating to a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your network camera can improve the device’s overall performance and stability, resolve various issues, and add support for newly developed features or enhance existing ones.

On the other hand, downgrading the camera’s firmware can recover its functionality in the unlikely event the currently installed version is faulty, or the device’s performance dropped after an upgrade. However, bear in mind that applying an earlier build might not always be possible.

Changing the camera’s firmware must be performed when the new release resolves an issue that your device has encountered or adds a new feature (or enhances an existing one) that could prove useful to you.

As for the installation method, the steps vary depending on the model you own, but basically, you must connect your camera via an Ethernet cable (username and password required), and use the downloadable file in the Firmware Update section to upgrade your device. Make sure you do not interrupt the installation process.

However, make sure you carefully read and understand the installation steps so that you don’t end up with a broken device. This process isn’t intended to be destructive, but still, it’s best to save all configurations before applying a different firmware.

That being said, if you consider that this firmware improves your device in any way, then hit the download button and get the desired version; if not, check our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will boost your camera’s performance. 

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available

Do not forget to check with our site as often as possible in order to stay updated on the latest drivers, software and games

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver

This will help if you installed a wrong driver

Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer
