3 Ways to find out the IP address of the camera

Among the other differences between digital and analogous cameras, the process of connecting to the recording device occupies a special place. The complicated procedure increases the degree of protection of the information transmitted and is not really as difficult as it seems. You will need to connect the camera to the local network using the switch and find out its IP address in order to be able to record videos. There are 3 ways to do this:

1. Take the manual and see the value of this parameter by default. For each manufacturer, the standard IP address as well as login and password from your personal account are the same for all the devices. Those who purchased the used camera will have to find a manual for it on the Internet, and then reset the settings to the factory ones by pressing the «Reset» button, if there is a chance that the former owner changed something in them.
Important: it is forbidden to directly connect multiple cameras from the same manufacturer to the common network because the same IP addresses will cause the network conflict, it is better to change them according to the subnet as the devices are being installed.
2. Use branded software. A set of cameras usually comes with a drive that has a program recorded together with everything that is needed to install and set the equipment. In the case of the loss of the drive, you can always find the analogue on the manufacturer’s website, for example, IPEYE offers a «HELPER» utility download for the autoinstallation completely free of charge.
3. Apply the address scanner application. You can find the IP address of any device in a particular network, including the IP of the camera, with the help of the other software free of charge. The programs will quickly find all the equipment within the selected area and display the available data on it.

The last option is to contact the experts online or via the telephone.
