6.4 Finding the Camera IP using the BNC Test Cable
When the BNC test cable is connected to the camera, the IP address is shown on the test monitor. The camera must be connected to power to use the BNC test cable.
NOTE: The default IP address of 192.168.0.120 is shown if the camera cannot obtain an IP address from the router. Check the Ethernet/power connections and router configuration.
7. CONFIGURING REMOTE CONNECTION
Follow the steps below to configure your camera for connections over the Internet using a web browser, Syncro-V, or other VMS software.
Step 1 of 6: Locate the camera's local IP address:
- See "6. Finding the Camera's IP Address" on page 14.
Step 2 of 6: Port Forward your router:
You need to enable port forwarding for the following ports on your router to the camera's local IP address:
- HTTP Port (default: 80)
• Control Port (default: 30001)
NOTE: If you are configuring multiple IP cameras for individual remote access, you must change the ports for each camera. Two cameras cannot use the same port number.
NOTE: Port forwarding the RTSP and RTMP ports is not necessary unless your installation has special requirements.
There are two methods for port forwarding:
- You can manually port forward your router. See your router's user manual for details. An example of a port forwarding screen is shown below.
| Port Range | |||||

12. TROUBLESHOOTING
Can't find the camera IP address using Syncro-V or other software:
- Make sure Ethernet and/or DC power cables are correctly connected to the camera.
- Make sure the PoE switch or DC power source meets the camera's power requirements (class 3 PoE / 550mA / 6.6W / 12V). If using PoE, make sure the PoE switch is powered on.
- Make sure the PC is on the same network as the camera. Ping the camera's IP address. On your PC, go to Start → Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt. Type ping then the camera's local IP address and press Enter. If you get the message "Request timed out," PC and camera are not on the same network or camera is not connected. Camera is connected if you receive replies.
- Connect the BNC test cable to the camera and the other end to a test monitor. The monitor display shows the camera's IP address. A default IP address of 192.168.0.120 may mean that the camera cannot obtain an IP address from the router. Check the Ethernet/power connections and router configuration.
- Camera set for static IP mode using an incorrect IP address. By default, the camera is set for DHCP mode, which means it will automatically obtain an IP address from your router. Reset the camera to factory default settings by removing the camera cover and pressing the reset button for 5 seconds or more.
Can't connect to the camera on a web browser using local IP address:
- See steps above.
- Verify the camera's local IP address using one of the methods listed in "6. Finding the Camera's IP Address" on page 14.
Can't connect to camera on a web browser using a DDNS address:
- Digimerge DDNS address entered incorrectly into the address bar. Make sure to enter http://, the Domain Name you received in the confirmation email, followed by colon, and the HTTP port number of the camera (e.g. http://tomsmith.digimerge.net:80).
- DDNS account not created. Go to http://www.ddns.digimerge.net and create a DDNS account, and then input the DDNS account information into the camera DDNS page (Network Service→DDNS).
- DDNS information not configured on camera. See “8.11.1 DDNS” on page 51.
- Port forwarding not set up. Make sure the HTTP port (default: 80) and Control port (default: 30001) are forwarded on your router to the camera's local IP address.
- Multiple cameras using same port number to connect. Configure each camera to use different ports and port forward the new ports (see “8.7.2 Device Port” on page 34 for details on changing camera ports).
Can't connect to camera video on a web browser:
- If using IE, make sure to install ActiveX plug-in or Adobe Flash Player. For more information, see "8.3 Internet Explorer® Setup" on page 25.
- If using a browser other than IE (e.g. Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox), make sure latest version of Adobe Flash Player is installed.
Video performs poorly on browser:
- Insufficient bandwidth available for high-quality stream1. Select stream2 under Stream. Stream2 provides a lower-resolution to conserve bandwidth and improve performance on low-bandwidth connections.
- If using IE, click the message above the video area to use ActiveX plug-in instead of Flash Player. ActiveX may provide smoother video performance.
User account is locked:
- User accounts are locked when the password has been incorrectly entered 3 times. To unlock the account, login to the camera web interface as admin. Click Privilege Manager→User. Under User, select the locked user account and click Unlock to unlock the account.
