It’s also a very useful tool to confirm IR IP Camera installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other devices over the network.
If you want to make sure the IP address of IR IP Camera, utilize the PING command as follows:
zStart a DOS window.
zType ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the IR IP Camera. The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.
If you want to detect any other devices conflicts with the IP address of IR IP Camera, also can utilize the PING command but you must disconnect the IR IP Camera from the network first.
