3.1 Searching the camera in the network using CAM_EZ SEARCH
Before the camera can run on the network, you need to assign an IP address for the camera. First of
all, run CAM_EZ SEARCH after the camera is plugged in the LAN. CAM_EZ Search is a search tool
which is used to find all the IP cameras on the LAN. When running CAM_EZ Search, PC will send
broadcast package to the LAN. After the camera responds, all the cameras’ name will be displayed on
the dialog box. Click the desired camera, and it will display the related settings, then change the
settings accordingly, such as IP address, rename IP camera and so on.
Operation steps:
1. Start and run CAM_EZ SEARCH application program.
Modify IPC98’s IP and relevant settings, as figure
below.
By default, the camera is set at DHCP mode, that
means your local network will assign the IP address.
You can use as it is or change to other known address.
Here is the explanation of different fields.
- Name: user can define his preferable name
- IP: address assigned by the LAN.
- Subnet mask: usually setup 255.255.255.0
- GateWay: network’s default gateway
- HTTP Port: Http communication port, preset 80.
2. If you want to change the IP and other settings, click Static option. Fill in the IP address, and then
click “submit” to save the changes.
3. After a few seconds, click “update” again to update the IPC98’s list. IPC98 will update a useable IP
address.
4. Double click the camera name, and it will launch Internet Explorer and start the camera operation.
