2.2.2 Finding your Camera with Camera Live Utility
Now you have your camera attached and the software ready, you are ready to find your camera on your
network. Double-click the Camera Live icon on your Desktop to launch the Camera Live program.
The Camera Live utility should automatically find your camera if it is correctly connected (See image below).You
can
use this program to set up cameras but we recommend that you use this program only to find your IP address. Then
do all setup by going directly to the camera using the IP address, either by double-clicking on the address or by typing
the number into your browser(with http:// in front)
If no camera is found it could be that your Antivirus or Firewall program is blocking the “Camera Live” program. In
that case you should either disable your Firewall program or use the alternate method of finding the IP address by
checking the menus in your router as described below.
Sometimes the program may take a few minutes to find your camera, so if your camera isn’t displayed, wait a few
moments and then click “Search” to search for cameras again.
[Search] – Searches your local network for cameras.
[Browser] - Select the required camera and click Browser to access the camera via a web browser.
[Clean] - Click clean to clean up the searched cameras .
[Setup] - Select the required camera and click Setup to configure the network settings for the camera.
Anytime you lose the IP address of your camera, you can run the Setup software to easily find it
again. Once your camera is displayed, either chose “Search” to find the camera.
Please note: The camera setup will only detect cameras that are on the same network as your computer. Ensure
the camera is plugged into the same router/network switch that your computer is connected to
