Frequently Asked Questions - ELIP-2036DF Monacor

What is the default IP address and login?

The default IP address is 192.168.0.123, username admin, password 123456. It is strongly recommended to change the password after initial setup.

How do I change the camera's IP address?

Download the Device Search Tool from Monacor's support site. Use it to find the camera on the network, then modify the IP address to match your LAN scheme (e.g., 192.168.1.x). Alternatively, you can use the UC Client software or Internet Explorer.

Can I use this camera with a PoE switch?

Yes, the camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) standard 802.3af. Connect it directly to a PoE switch or PoE NVR. If not using PoE, a 12V DC power supply (optional) is required.

How do I access the camera remotely via smartphone?

Install the Danale app from the App Store or Google Play. Create an account, then add the camera using its P2P ID or QR code (found in Configuration > Network > P2P). Ensure the camera's cloud login status is Online.

Why can't I open the camera's web interface in my browser?

The camera only supports Internet Explorer. Make sure your computer's IP is on the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.0.x). If not, use the search tool to change the camera's IP to match your LAN. Also install the required Web Plug-in when prompted.

How do I set up motion detection?

Go to Configuration > Event > Video Detection. Enable motion detection, then configure actions like email snapshot or FTP upload. For recording, connect a MicroSD card or NAS and set the NVR schedule to motion trigger.

What is the default password if I forgot it?

Use the Device Search Tool to find the camera, then click Reset Factory to restore defaults (admin/123456). This will also reset all settings.

How do I get the RTSP stream for third-party software?

Main stream: rtsp://IP:554/h264?username=admin&password=123456. Sub stream: rtsp://IP:554/h264cif?username=admin&password=123456. Replace IP with camera's actual IP address.

Why is my NVR not showing video after adding the camera?

Check that the NVR and camera are on the same IP subnet, use ONVIF protocol with correct username/password, and ensure the camera's video encoding is set to H.264 if the NVR does not support H.265.

Can I control the zoom via NVR?

Yes, if the camera has a motorized lens (Zoom In/Out). Use the PTZ menu in your NVR, or control it via the camera's web interface, PC client (UC), or the search tool preview window with the mouse wheel.

Connecting the camera to system

Figure 1: Working With POE Switch

Note:

1. The camera should be connected to an OPTIONAL 12 volt power supply if you do not use PoE (Power over Ethernet).
2. A Windows computer is more convenient to setup and troubleshooting.

Modifying the camera's IP address

Default: IP address: 192.168.0.123, Username: admin, Password: 123456

( We strongly recommend modifying the default password for your security).

Each IP camera has the same default IP address after leaving the factory. In order to guarantee network connectivity and access the live video, it is essential to change the camera's IP address to unique via computer before using. To quickly configure the IP camera, download the device search tool from the Internet: www.monacor.com -> Support -> Downloads.

Before modifying the IP address you'd better confirm the IP network planning and avoid IP address conflict.

Steps on Local Area Windows 10 PC : Search Windows -> cmd -> ipconfig /all

Now you can get all the local network information.

IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.?

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS Servers: 192.168.1.1

Note : You can also find out the LAN configuration via Windows GUI

Right-click on the Network icon and select open Network and Sharing Center.

If the camera is installed to work with the local switch or router directly, the camera IP range should be 192.168.1.x (x=2-254). To void IP conflict, you should test and select an unoccupied IP like this:

Command Prompt ping test

Only when reply unreachable that means the IP address is no conflict and available, otherwise when you see time reply do not use this IP address.

There are three methods to modify the camera IP configuration, Search tool, UC Client software and Internet Explorer.

Using Device Search Tool

a. Click Start Search and all your cameras in the LAN will be listed. Modify IP address to suit the LAN's IP scheme. There are two modifying methods available: 1) Right click on the desired camera and choose "Modify IP address". 2) Click the ALL check-box then click "IP Batch Setting".

b. You can also enable the camera DHCP function if there is a DHCP server available in the LAN.

Most router has DHCP server built-in. (IP address in DHCP setting may change after device restart. We do not recommend leaving the IP camera on DHCP).

Tips:

Reset Password -> Restore default settings;

Video full-screen -> double-click video;

Firmware upgrade -> Select the check-box, click Browse then click File Upgrade.

(Default user name: admin, Password: 123456)

1. Go to the Devices Config and click Start search, all the camera in the LAN will be listed. Highlighting one of the camera will populate the filed above. Change the parameter listed in the field and click on "Modify IP" to modify the camera's IP address. Please modify the default IP address to match your LAN's IP scheme. Note: Be careful when setting up IP addresses to not have duplicated IP as other devices in LAN.

2. After changing all the IP cameras' IP address, you can search again and add them all to the UC client. Once the cameras are added, go to the tab Video View and drag the camera into the split windows to start previewing the cameras.

Working with Internet Explorer

To access the camera's web interface, type in the IP camera's IP address in Internet Explorer's URL bar to gain access to the login page. Please modify IP address to the same subnet if login page can not load.

(Default user name: admin, Password: 123456); only IE is supported.

From the login page, select your familiar language, then log in with the username and password.

Working with Internet Explorer

Install Web Plug-in when red line characters prompted. You may have to download WEBConfig.exe and run it as administrator. After installation, restart or refresh your web browser and access the IP again. The live video will start automatically after login successfully.

Note: Only the Motorized Auto Focus cameras can Zoom In and Zoom Out. Keeping pressing on live video and dragging for Digital Zoom.

If there is a delay in video response when accessing remotely, please switch to Sub Stream instead. To learn the function of each button, just put the mouse on, it will show screen tips.

Working with NVR

The IP camera supports standard ONVIF protocol and it can be added to third-party video recorder. Some of the models support both H.264 and H.265 encode mode. The H.265 encode cameras can compress the video data to a very low bit rates which allows more video data storage than normal H.264 camera. Only configure the camera to H.265 mode when your NVR supports H.265 mode

Before pairing cameras to the NVR, make sure the NVR and cameras have valid and matching IP scheme.

Note: Some of the PoE NVR supports Plug & play, which allows you to get video without manually search and add. if Plug & play feature is not available or not compatible, please follow the NVR manual steps and select ONVIF protocol as the paring protocol. (camera default password: 123456)

If the POE NVR can not discover the connected camera or can not display the camera video, please check it's internal POE interface IP configuration and make sure all connected cameras and NVR POE interface are in the same subnet schema. For more help please contact the both NVR and IP camera suppliers for technical assistance.
