Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera

Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera

After you install IP camera as described in the “Installing the IP Camera” section on page 2-1, or after you perform a factory reset procedure, you must access the IP camera and make initial configuration settings. These settings include administrator and root passwords, and whether the IP camera can be accessed through an HTTP connection in addition to the default HTTPS (HTTP secure) connection.

To make these configuration settings, you connect to the IP camera from any PC that is on the same network as the IP camera. The PC must meet these requirements:

Operating system—Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3

Browser—Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 2 or higher

In addition, you must know the IP address of the IP camera. By default, when the IP camera powers on, it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in your network. If the camera cannot obtain an IP address through DCHP within 90 seconds, it uses a default IP address of 192.168.0.100.

To connect to the IP camera for the first time and make initial configuration settings, perform the following steps. You can change these configuration settings in the future as described in Chapter 3, “Configuring and Managing the IP Camera.”

Before you Begin

The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or later must be installed on the PC that you use to connect to the IP camera. You can download the .NET Framework from the Microsoft website.

Procedure

Step 1 Start Internet Explorer, enter HTTPS://ip_address in the address field, and press Enter.

Replace ip_address with the IP address that the IP camera obtained through DHCP or, if the camera was unable to obtain this IP address, enter 192.168.0.100.

The Account window appears.

Step 2 In the Set Password and Verify Password fields in the Admin column, enter a password for the IP camera administrator.

You must enter the same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and must contain at least eight characters, which can be letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces. Special characters are: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { } ~.

Step 3 In the Set Password and Verify Password fields in the Root column, enter a password that is used when accessing the IP camera through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.

You must enter the same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and must contain at least eight characters, which can be letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces. Special characters are: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { } ~.

You use the root password if you need to troubleshoot the IP camera through a SSH connection with the assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Step 4 In the HTTP area, click the HTTP radio button if you want to allow both HTTP and HTTPS connections to the IP camera.

The default setting is HTTPS, which allows only HTTPS (secure) connections to the IP camera.

Step 5 Click Apply.

The IP camera reboots.
