How to Find the Camera's IP

Methods to discover and configure your OV10i's IP address for network connectivity.

Overview​

Finding your OV10i camera's IP address is essential for establishing network communication and accessing the web interface. This guide provides multiple methods to locate the IP address.

Methods to Find Camera IP​

Method 1: Check the Default IP​

The OV10i ships with a default static IP address of 192.168.0.100. If the IP has not been changed, you can connect directly using this address.

  1. Set your computer's IP to the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.0.50, subnet mask 255.255.255.0)
  2. Open a browser and go to http://192.168.0.100

Method 2: Network Discovery Tools​

If the default IP does not work or has been changed:

  • Network scanner software: Use a free tool like Advanced IP Scanner (Windows) or Angry IP Scanner (cross-platform) to scan the subnet for active devices
  • Router DHCP list: Check your router or switch's connected devices list to find the camera
  • ARP table: Open a terminal and run arp -a to see devices on the local network

Method 3: USB Emergency Access​

If you cannot locate the camera on the network at all:

  1. Connect a micro-USB cable from the camera to your computer
  2. Open a browser and navigate to 192.168.55.1
  3. This fixed address is always available via the USB connection regardless of network configuration
  4. Check the current IP in Settings > System

See Use USB for Recovery for full details.

Troubleshooting​

If you cannot locate the camera's IP address:

  • Verify network cable connections at both ends
  • Check that the camera is powered on (green Power LED)
  • Ensure the camera and computer are on the same network subnet
  • Try a direct Ethernet connection (bypass any switches or routers)
  • Check your computer's firewall settings

Next Steps​

Once you have the IP address:

  • Access the web interface at http://<camera_ip>
  • Configure network settings if needed
  • Proceed with First-Time Checklist
