» If the IPv4 Address shown for the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address) and the
camera is new (un-congured) or was reset to its factory default state, the camera did not
nd a DHCP server on the network. Modify the parameters in the right pane to values you
prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the screen below.
» If the IPv4 Address shown for the camera is something other than 192.168.1.64 (default
IP address) and the camera is new or was reset to its factory default conguration, the
camera did nd a DHCP server on the network and acquired new network parameters that
are compatible with the network. If necessary, change the parameters in the right pane to
values that you prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the
screen above.
c. Enter the admin password for the camera in the Password eld. The default admin user
password for Alibi cameras is 1111.
