Figure 8.1 IP AutoDome System Configuration
8.4 Configuring the IP AutoDome Camera
To operate the camera in your network you must assign it a valid network IP address. The
default IP address is 192.168.0.1, but you may have to change this address if it conflicts with
another device on your network.
To properly configure the camera for your network, you need the following information:
– Unit IP address: An identifier for the camera on a TCP/IP network. For example,
140.10.2.110 is a valid syntax for an IP address.
– Subnet mask: A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
– Gateway IP address: A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network.
– Port: An endpoint to a logical connection in TCP/IP and UDP networks. The port number
identifies the use of the port for use through a firewall connection.
The IP AutoDome defaults are as follows:
– IP Address: 192.168.0.1
– Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
– Gateway IP Address: 0.0.0.0
The following sections provide instructions about installing the software necessary to view
images over an IP connection, configuring the IP network settings and accessing the IP
AutoDome images from a Web browser.
