Web Interface

You can connect to PTZ-12G+ over an IP network to configure them and to view live video.

This section describes how to connect to a camera, and describes the camera’s built-in web interface. It also provides information about viewing an RTSP video stream.

Topics include the following:

Connecting to the Web Interface

You can connect to a camera via a network switch or router, or by connecting a network cable directly from the camera to your computer.

note

Network cable type must be CAT6 (minimum).

To connect via a network switch or router:
  1. Connect a network cable between the camera and the network switch or router (Figure ??).

connectNetwork

Figure 1 - Connecting over an IP Network

To connect directly, using a network cable:
  1. Connect a network cable between the camera and your computer.

    connectCableDirect

    Figure 2 - Connecting Directly using a Network Cable

  2. Configure the IP address , Subnet mas k , and Default gateway on your computer so it is on the same network segment as the camera (Figure ??).

    tip

    The camera’s factory-set default IP address is 192.168.100.100 . Each device on the network must have a unique IP address.

setIPaddress

Figure 3 - Configuring the IP Address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway

To Access the Web Interface:
  1. In a web browser, navigate to the IP address of the camera.

    tip

    The factory-set default IP address is 192.168.100.100 . Each device on the network must have a unique IP address.

    The login window appears.

  2. Type a valid Username and Password , and then click the Login button.

    tip

    The default User n ame is admin . The default Password is 9999 . If this is the first login, you are prompted to change the password.

    The web interface appears (Figure ??).
