Observer Setup Utility

The Observer Setup Utility can be used to manually configure the camera’s network settings. It may be necessary to use the setup utility to manually assign an IP address for your camera if your network does not support DHCP. The utility is also very helpful for finding all the cameras on your network.

Note: The Observer Setup Utility must be run from a PC on the local area network where the camera to be set up is located.

Step 1. Click Start -> Programs -> Veo -> Observer Setup Utility or click the desktop icon to run the program. The screen on the left appears. Click the Search for Camera button. The utility finds all the cameras on the local network and shows their MAC addresses in the list.

Your PC’s network settings are shown here. Since your PC should be connected to the same LAN as the camera you are trying to set up, it will have almost the same network settings as the camera. Only the last three digits of the IP address should be different.

Step 2. Click on your camera’s MAC address in the list. The camera’s current network settings appear on the right side.

Search For Camera Finds all cameras that are currently powered on and connected to the LAN.

Login	Opens the home page of the currently selected camera.
Set	Apply the changes you’ve set to the selected camera.

Note: The camera’s MAC address can be found on a sticker attached to the bottom of the camera.

5.1 Manually Assigning a Static IP Address

If your camera fails to obtain an address automatically by DHCP or you simply wish to ensure that the IP address of a certain camera remains unchanged, you will need to assign a static IP address.

Note: Before you assign a static address to a camera, make sure no other device on your network is configured to use the same address. If you aren’t sure if a particular address is in use, ping the address and check to see if there is any response. For help using PING, refer to Appendix C.2:

Using PING.

Step 1. Select the Static option.
