Let's say you know very little about IP security cameras and you just purchased one. You have it in your hands, and you are wondering how to view the darn thing.

If you've purchased one of CCTV Camera World's IP cameras then it's easy to view your camera on your computer. The guide below is for Windows computer users, however the process is very similar for Mac computer users as well. The same process outlined in this article should be applied when trying to view your NVR or DVR from your computer using a web browser. Step 1: Connect the camera to your network First, connect the camera to your network. There are three ways to connect a PoE based IP camera to a network: 1) Connect using a PoE switch - this is by far the easiest method. You need one cable between the camera and one of the PoE labeled ports on the switch.

This method sends both power and data over the same cable. 2) Connect using a PoE injector - think of this as a hybrid method of #1. If you only have one IP camera, we recommend using a PoE injector which is like an intermediary bridge between your network and the camera.

You run a network cable from a regular non-PoE switch or router to the LAN input (aka DATA IN) on the PoE injector, and another cable from the PoE port (aka Data & Power Out) of the injector to the network jack on the camera. The PoE injector needs to be powered and comes with a power cable that requires a 110-220V AC outlet.

3) Connect using a power adaptor and non-PoE switch - if you have the ability to provide power to the camera using a power adaptor connected to a nearby electrical outlet, then you can power the camera separately using your 12V DC power adaptor and send data over a network cable to a regular non-PoE network switch or router. Step 2: Determine the camera's IP address IP security cameras are called network cameras because they use a network to send video/audio/data. When connected to a network, they require an IP address to communicate to other devices on the network, which is the same method in which your computer works on a network.

IP cameras have tiny computers inside! To view the camera, you are using your computer, tablet or smartphone to talk to it. To do this task you need to determine what is the IP address of the camera after you have connected it to your network in Step 1.

Although all of our IP cameras, DVRs and NVRs have a default IP address of 192.168.1.108 when they ship from the factory, this may be modified automatically on your network since they have a setting called DHCP activated. DHCP is a function on the camera that allows it to ask your router for another IP address if 192.168.1.108 will not work on your network; this will happen when you have another device with the same IP address or your IP address scheme is different (eg. So depending on how your network is setup, the camera may or may not retain the default IP address of 192.168.1.108. If you type 192.168.1.108 in to your web browser and you don't see a web login page like the one above for the camera, make sure you are not getting a security page error.

Check if the page looks like the one below shown in our Chrome browser, and click on the links we illustrate to bypass the error page: If you are still unable to to see the login page, proceed to Step3, otherwise you are all done. Simply enter the default user credentials to view your camera.

The default username is admin and the password is admin. Step 3: Use Config Tool to find the camera and change your camera's ip address With your camera or DVR purchase comes a software CD, which will contain the Config Tool that allows you to find any IP camera, network video recorder, or digital video recorder that you have purchased from us. In this guide the following important facts are assumed: • You have properly connected the device to your network using a known good network cable • You have powered on the device • You are on the same network as the device A) Find the program file for Config Tool on your CD or download it from our programs section. If you are downloading it, be sure to extract the file and locate the setup file which should look like the following: B) Double click to run the setup file and you may get prompted by a security alert like the one below.
