Chapter 2 Getting Started
Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
Caution Do not manually adjust the focus or zoom for the IP camera. Attempting to manually do so may damage
the IP camera lens. Instead, use the Focus/Zoom window in the configuration software to remotely set
the focus and zoom for the IP camera.
Step 13 Replace the privacy shield by squeezing it to fit inside the four tabs on the camera unit.
Make sure to adjust the privacy shield inside the dome and trim ring assembly so that it does not block
the lens from capturing video.
Step 14 Attach the dome assembly by aligning its tab with the opening in the base plate, pressing it into place,
and securing the three TORX screws
Figure 2-15).
Make sure that the security strap that connects the dome assembly to the camera housing is in place.

Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
After you install IP camera, or after you perform a factory reset procedure, you must access the IP
camera and make initial configuration settings. These settings include administrator and root passwords,
and whether the IP camera can be accessed through an HTTP connection in addition to the default
HTTPS (HTTP secure) connection.
To make these configuration settings, you connect to the IP camera from any PC that is on the same
network as the IP camera. The PC must meet these requirements:
Operating system—Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, or Vista
Browser—Internet Explorer 6.x with Service Pack 2, or later
In addition, you must know the IP address of the IP camera. By default, when the IP camera powers on,
it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in your network. If the camera cannot obtain an
IP address through DCHP within 90 seconds, it uses a default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
To connect to the IP camera for the first time and make initial configuration settings, perform the
following steps. You can change these configuration settings in the future as described in the
“Initialization Window” section on page 3-25.
