STEP 1.) Download Camera Management Software
Download & install the “AmSecu Device-Config-Tool” from http://amsecu.com/device-config-tool on your Windows computer.
STEP 2.) Connect the IP Camera to your network
Connect your IP Camera to your network ensuring that it is powered on (PoE or Power Adapter).
“Network” in this scenario refers to your Wi-Fi Router, PoE Network Switch, or Regular Network Switch with a power adapter connected to the camera.
STEP 3.) Search for your IP Camera
Open the Device-Config-Tool on your computer and click the “Search” button as shown in figure 1.
Figure 1.
If connected properly, the camera will appear with its default IP address of 192.168.1.168 as shown in Figure 1. If the camera does not appear, check that the camera is powered on and connected to your network via a PoE Switch, or Router.
If you are still not able to locate your camera, email us at info@amsecu.com, or call our technical support team at 949-536-7268 for assistance.
STEP 4.) Change camera IP Address to match your Local Network.
Using the Device-Config-Tool, select the camera and change the “Net Mode” on the bottom right corner to “DHCP”. Then click the “modify” button. After the software completes the changes, click the “Search” button one more time and note down the IP displayed in Figure 2.
