This manual explains how to download and use Pelco’s Device Utility software. Use this software to do the
following:
• Locate the IP address of the Pelco IP camera.
• Identify the MAC
®
address of the Pelco IP camera.
• Perform system upgrades to the Pelco IP camera.
The Pelco Device Utility software is accessible on the CD shipped with the product or at www.pelco.com/
software/downloads/.
NOTES:
• Only use a cable modem router or a switch with a DHCP server when installing the Pelco IP camera
on a network. Refer to the installation manual shipped with the Pelco IP camera for installation
instructions.
• Do not use a HUB in the network setup of the camera.
• To secure access to the Pelco IP camera, place the camera behind a firewall when it is connected to
a network.
• For optimum image quality and bandwidth efficiency use the IP110 Camclosure
®
as an Endura
Enabled
TM
device or with an approved Pelco API interface.
• If the camera is part of an Endura
TM
system, the Endura GUI will automatically discover the device
and display it as a camera within the system manager. Refer to the documentation for the Endura
System Manager.
• For a list of compatible API interfaces go to www.pelco.com/ipcam.
• Network and processor bandwidth limitations may cause the video stream to pause or appear
pixilated when an increased number of web-interface users connect to the camera. Decrease the
images per second (IPS) of the web-interface video streams to compensate for network/processor
limitations.
