Chapter 3: Using the Camera
Configuration Interface
The airCam Dome has a browser-based Camera
Configuration Interface for advanced camera management
options. The Camera Configuration Interface is accessible
from the airVision software by clicking on the Hostname
of the camera in the Device tab. You can also access the
interface without launching the airVision software as
described below:
To access the interface, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that your host machine is connected to the
same LAN as the airCam Dome.
2. The airCam Dome is set to DHCP by default. If you
have a router or DHCP server providing addresses on
your network, check your DHCP Client Table to obtain
the address of the airCam Dome or use the Device
Discovery Tool available at:
www.ubnt.com/support/downloads/utilities
Note: If you do not have a DHCP server, the
airCam Dome defaults to the IP address
192.168.1.20.
3. Launch your Web browser and in the address field, type
http:// and then the IP address of the airCam Dome,
for example: http://192.168.1.20. Press enter (PC) or
return (Mac).
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the
Username and Password fields and click Login.
5. The Main screen will appear and you should see a live
stream of video from the airCam Dome.
Adjusting the Camera View
To adjust the camera lens angle, remove the dome . The
camera lens can be tilted 0 to 56°. Rotate the camera
inside the bezel to the desired position.
Important: Ensure the indicator on the camera is not
aligned with the arrow on the bezel (as shown in step
5, page 2) or the camera will detach from the bezel.

The camera configuration interface contains five main
tabs, each of which provides a web-based management
page containing configurable parameters that affect a
specific aspect of the airCam Dome:
• Main The Main tab displays the airCam Dome status/
