Modifying the camera’s IP address
Default: IP address: 192.168.1.110 , Username: admin, Password: 123456
( We strongly recommend modifying the default password for your security).
Each IP camera has the same default IP address after leaving the factory. In
order to guarantee network connectivity and access the live video, it is
essential to change the camera’s IP address to unique via computer before
using. You can install the device search tool AjDevTools and Hikvision SADP
tools

Before modifying the IP address you’d better confirm the IP network planning and avoid IP address conflict.
Steps on Local Area Windows 10 PC : Search Windows - > cmd -> ipconfig /al
Right-click on the Network icon and select open Network and Sharing Center.
If the camera is installed to work with the local switch or router directly, the camera IP range should be 192.168.1.x (x=2-254). To void IP conflict, you should test and select an unoccupied IP like this:
