address (192.168.100.1).

Important
 You can only access a camera 30 seconds after connecting the camera to the network environment without a response from the DHC P 
server using the 192.168.100.1 IP address.
 If there is a response from the DHCP server after 30 seconds has  elapsed, the camera switches to the address assigned by the DHCP 
server.
 When accessing a camera by entering 192.168.100.1 in a web browser, set the computer to an IP address with the same subnet  (255.255.255.0).
 If multiple cameras with the factory default setting s exist on the same network, the cameras cannot be accessed.
