By default, your camera 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.

[UPnP Settings]

UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are part of the Universal Plug and Play Forum. It means that they are listed in the network devices table for the operating system (such as Windows XP) supported by this function. Enabling this function, you can connect to the camera directly by clicking on the camera listed in the network devices table. This function is enabled by default.

[QoS Settings]

The Quality of Service (QoS) is a bandwidth control mechanism that guarantees delay-sensitive data flows such as voice and video streams, obtain a certain amount of bandwidth to keep the streaming smooth.

To apply QoS to your camera, all network routers must support QoS and QoS must be enabled on these devices. To enable the QoS on the camera, enter a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value. This value is a field in an IP packet that enables different levels of services for the network traffic. When the video stream from the camera reaches a router, the DSCP value will tell the router what service level should be applied, e.g. the bandwidth amount. This value ranges from 0 to 63 in decimal format. The default value is 0 which means QoS is disabled. Click Apply to finish.

[Network Connection Check Settings]

When the network connection check is enabled, the camera will check for Internet connection and reboots automatically when it is disconnected from the Internet. This function is enabled by default.
