Chapter 2 Getting Started

2.1 Looking Up the IP Address

By default, your GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 20R / 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R is assigned with an unused IP address by the DHCP server when the camera is connected to the network. This IP address remains unchanged unless you unplug or disconnect your camera from the network.

Note: If your router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. In this case, it is strongly suggested to modify the IP address to avoid IP address conflict with other GeoVision IP device on the same LAN. To change the IP address, see Changing the IP Address later in this section.

Follow the steps below to find out the IP address of your camera:

1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program from the Software DVD.

Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN with the camera you wish to configure.

1. On the PC desktop, select Start, point to Programs and select GV IP Device Utility to execute the program. The GV-IP Device Utility window appears and automatically searches for the GV-IP devices on the same LAN.
