Network Connection

To successfully complete this process, you will need several pieces of information. The first is the IP address of your computer. You will also need to select an unused IP address on your local network (This is the address you will set the camera to). The  third piece is the default IP address of your camera. Finally, you will need the IP address of your Default Gateway/Router.
All versions of the BZBGEAR VPTZ Series cameras have the following default IP address:
192.168.1.162

The computer must be on the same subnet as the camera to connect successfully, therefore the computer must be connected to the 192.168.1.x subnet. If your network is already using this IP address pool, simply enter the cameras IP address to connect.  If it is not this can be achieved via the Local Area Network Properties on the computer.
