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 215 PTZ will use 192.168.0.90 as the default IP address.
If you would like to assign a static IP address the recommended method in Windows is either AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Camera Management. Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, use the method that best suits your purpose.
Both of 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
