2 Camera Setup

2.1 Detecting, Activating Changing the Camera IP Address

After networking the camera with the LAN, the user must obtain the camera's IP address to connect to the device. To obtain the IP address, the 3xLOGIC Camera (VISIC IP) Setup Utility, a software tool which can automatically detect online network cameras on the LAN, add these devices to VIGIL Server and list the device information including IP address, subnet mask, port number, device serial number, device version, etc... is recommended. An example is shown in Figure 2-3.

This utility is installed alongside VIGIL Server or can be downloaded separately. If on a VIGIL Server system, launch utility from Start>Programs>VIGIL>Utility or download the utility from the 3xLOGIC website's Software Support Center > VIGIL Utilities (http://www.3xlogic.com/software-center) to a Windows PC.

Steps:

1. Launch the utility.
2. Click Detect Online Devices / Change IP Address.

Figure 2-1 3xLOGIC Camera (VISIX IP) Setup Utility

2. If you are configuring the camera for initial setup, click Activate to assign a new password. This step is required for security purposes and must be completed before continuing. If the camera has previously been configured, skip to Step 5.
3. Once you have assigned a new password to the camera, click Change IP Address and change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as that of your computer. Save the settings.
