configuration
The default IP address for this model seems to be:
192.168.1.? (possible 108)
The camera can be found using a tool such as netdiscover.
The camera can be configured via a web browser. The initial connection is made by HTTP:
http://192.168.1.108/
substitute the last octet .108 if necessary.
Default login:
username: admin password: admin
Be prepared to immediately set an alternative password. The prompt to do so will appear immediately after first time login.
After being configured the RTSP stream can be viewed in the following format:
rtsp://admin:password@192.168.254.105:554
You should set an alternate user account rather than streaming as admin.
To set an IP address navigate to NETWORK -> TCP/IP and in the TCP/IP tab set to STATIC unless you wish to have your DHCP server control addressing by MAC.
