Assign an IP address
Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server the AXIS Q7401 will use 192.168.0.90 as the default IP address.
AXIS IP Utility and AXIS Camera Management are recommended methods for setting an IP address in Windows. These free applications are available on the Axis Network Video Product CD supplied with this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup. Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, use the method that suits you best.
