Accessing the Network Camera

Looking Up the Dynamic IP Address

By default, when the camera is connected to a LAN with the DHCP server, it is automatically assigned with a dynamic IP address. Follow the steps below to look up its IP address.

Note:

1. By default, the Administrator’s username is admin and cannot be modified.

2. This function is only applicable on GV-IP Device Utility V8.9.8 or later.

3. Make sure the PC used to configure the IP address is under the same LAN as the camera. Download and install GV-IP Device Utility from the company website.

4. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices connected in the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.

5. Find the camera with its Mac Address, and click on its IP address.

6. For the first-time users, you are requested to set up a password.

7. Type a new password and click OK.

8. Click on its IP address again and select Webpage to open its Web interface.

9. Type the set password on the login page and click Login.

IMPORTANT:

1. The camera has two sets of passwords: one is for Web interface and the other is for the third-party platform connection via ONVIF, e.g. GV-VMS. GV-IP Device Utility is used to set the ONVIF password. When the first-time user uses GV-IP Device Utility to set a password for the camera, the two sets of passwords are created simultaneously.
2. To change the password for Web interface, click Config → Security → User ; see “Modify User” in 4.7.1 Security Configuration in the user’s manual. To change the password for ONVIF connection, click Config → Network → Advnaced; see 4.6.4 ONVIF in the user’s manual.
3. If the first-time user accesses the camera’s Web interface on the browser directly by using the IP address found in GV-IP Device Utility, the following dialog box will apear.

If “Activate Onvif User” is enabled, the ONVIF user can be activated simultaneously for the third-party platform connection via ONVIF, using the default username and set password set above to connect.

Configuring the IP Address

If the camera is connected to a LAN without the DHCP server, the default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. Follow the steps below to modify the IP address to avoid IP conflict with other GV-IP devices on the same LAN.

1. Open your Web browser, and type the default IP address 192.168.0.10.
2. Type the default username admin and a password. Click Login.
3. Go to Config > Network > TCP/IP to set the IP address.
