[HOWTO] Find an Unknown Static IP Address !!

[@CorneliusJ66]

As a fledgling network admin, I found this to be quite useful. Plus, I love the presentation style hehehe

[@avinstallations]

Thank you for this. I was in the very same scenario. Despite your video being 5 years old, it still helped me. Thank you.

[@Behfor]

Glad to hear that 👍

[@atkray9049]

I want to thank you for this. I recently picked up a used network device and the published defaults would not work. Additionally, the "Reset" button would not reset it to the published default IP of 192.168.0.254. Because it is older it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. I followed this and was able to get that the IP was 192.168.101.70 !!!! Logged in with default credentials and now I can assign a static IP. I was also able to confirm the device actually does more than have some LED's lit. So to those who say just do a reset, that is not always a viable solution. Just because something doesn't align with your own narrow world view does not mean it is useless. This is a very helpful video and is enjoyable to watch as well.

[@brothertyler]

A real-world use for beginners looking to get into understanding packet capture use cases. Good job, Iranian dude.

[@deffmatic]

Thanks a lot. This really helped me to determine the static ip address of the used Engenius access point I bought recently which don't have a physical reset button.

[@Behfor]

Glad to hear this was useful for you! Thanks 👍🙂

[@richardshal]

Very... Very... helpful when you start on the ip address Maze. Good job

[@Behfor]

Thanks! I'm very glad you liked it :-)

[@DM-fz3ly]

Outstanding video and tutorial. Saved me today, exact same example, trying to find a Reolink camera IP

[@Behfor]

Glad you liked it and it helped you, thanks 👍

[@will-Rynerson]

Did you have a Reolink door bell? I’m trying to add it to my NVR. Also, trying to add my old 4K POE Qsee cameras to a new NVR by Amquest. I’m trying this method but need a power supply for my Qsee camera to try to ID to ip address.

[@zsoltkurucso4744]

You are indeed the ALMIGHTY! I’ve been trying to connect to my wireless ip camera for well over 2 weeks now, and tried literally everything. Although this information for you, Gandalf, is nearly self explanatory, but for us, Hobbits, is a life saver!!! So this information might well be the KEY to get to my wifi ip cam’s web UI. Thank You!! God Bless You!

[@nicholas4297]

Wow! This was really informative and love the style of the presentation. Just what I'm looking for.

[@Behfor]

That's great, I'm glad you liked it 😀👍

[@andrews6882]

Thank you so much. I had a Swann POE camera that I bought used on Amazon (risky I know) that had an unknown static ip address. I had never understood wireshark but I'm glad I do now because I was able to see that the camera was making calls and not just a dud

[@Behfor]

You're very welcome, glad this video was helpful for you. Thanks 🙂👍

[@patrickburton6130]

Brilliant, been looking for soemthing like this for a long time, thank you!

[@Behfor]

Glad it was useful for you, thanks 😊👍

[@machdaddy6451]

You have a very entertaining style.

[@CarbonTalon]

OMFG! I can't thank you enough! you saved my 5mp 30xoptical PTZ camera that had been reset a few times over a short period of time and for some reason I lost all ability to find it on my network and the paperwork that came with it no longer matched it's new Static IP "I don't have a clue how that happened, but it did......." I was lost and assumed that something on the board was dead but saw nothing obvious when I opened it and looked, green status light on the rj45 inlet steadily flashed so I knew it was trying to work and for some reason just couldn't be seen with device manager or my NVR , hell not even my Router could find it in the Network Map but this method of searching for the devices Static IP saved my ass from having to buy a new camera board etc for nothing. Thank you sooooooooo much! Truly.....

[@Behfor]

That's great 😁 I'm glad it was helpful 👍😀 cheers

[@vuilgatmusic7333]

The pornstar reference made my day haha! You are the educator we need

[@Behfor]

Thanks ;)

[@jamiewhite1515]

This worked for me....May want to add that some devices do not regularly broadcast their IP so powering off the device and turning back on made my device broadcast its IP address.

[@Behfor]

Thanks for adding that. I actually quickly had mentioned that as a note at (3:06) thanks and I'm glad it worked for you.

[@fazailwaasai3384]

i Have a PBX and it does not broadcast IP no what should i do?

[@juhanalmohed2599]

So the camera has its own gateway? I should use shark to find gateway of the ip camera, write down the ip on the browser and it will show camera log in form?

[@diywithanoop]

Thank you so much, this video saved a lot of time for me. I was going to replace the camera.

star been using new cameras normally hik vision is my choice trying out the new qvis range putting 4 cameras on a switch from a wireless point 2 point could not get into the cameras with there default ip tried all 4 different downloads from the website to find the cameras on the network still no good had spent hours had to leave job embarrassing sunday job so no technical done over a 100 hik cameras this way spent hours at home again on a desk setup updated laptop tried the downloads got the data of the cd that come with camera installed to laptop via usb still nothing watched this video after searching how to find an ip out of range on a network bang download wireshark watch video finds the ip address straight away what an awsome tool to ad to my system ip was miles away from the default thanks for that qvis. thanks behfor for an easy to use how to video saved me taking half a day to sit athome to technical to sort this .

[@ЕвгенийФеникс-т5у]

Thanks for video, was fun and helpful

[@Behfor]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it 👍

[@compinerd732]

I'm pretty sure a ip search program (at least not the simple ones) were able to find the address since they usually do not change your host computers ip address therefore you wouln't be in the same network therefore the ipcamera could not answer the pings you would sent

[@nasarkhann6917]

Sir thank you so much

[@Behfor]

You're very welcome 👍🙂

[@fahadoutlook1241]

what if static ip but no default gateway ?

[@machdaddy6451]

When I execute the arp -a command it does not list all of the devices that are connected to my network? Also these devices are not listed in my routers connected device list? I would like to log onto some wireless bridges to configure them, but I can't determine their IP addresses.

[@berbagihoby7928]

nice... thanx for sharing..

[@Behfor]

You're welcome, thanks for watching 👍

[@vishnupk876]

Thanku bro❤❤❤❤❤ it’s workinggggg❤❤❤

[@javierramos9795]

My issue that I change ISP so the gateway number change so I’m not able to find the camera because it was setup to the old gateway number, I don’t know if I explained myself well enough so please let me know.

[@ansariclips]

I liked the way you explained. Thanks.

[@greatestunknown]

Awsome man! But what if the camera is on a specific port? Can I use Wireshark to identify the port? Without the port number I would still not be able to reach the camera.

[@jyotimazumder5325]

[@johnbeckwith1361]

Love this video, very informative. I have this exact same camera system and I hate it. It is nothing more than a time lapse system at best. This video demonstrates why this is such a junk system. Owners should not have to get this deep into this shit, and if so, it would be a lot better if Zosi had customer support in the U.S.A. Don't buy wireless, they are junk. POE is the way to go.

[@Behfor]

Thanks, glad you liked this video. I actually stopped using this camera system and talked about it in a video.

I connected my ip camera to laptop via Ethernet amd turn off my internet from wifi and start packet capture but no luck what I m doing wrong no arp packet I have seen do I have to turn on my wifi internet to get into work

[@wifredoyoo8245]

This was massive and fun, I love it. hihihihihi

[@Behfor]

Glad you liked it, thanks 😀👍

[@johnbruhling8018]

Ah I see, you have to match to the clients primary hex values, silly me 😜 I should have guessed that because I did a similiar thing with connecting another router as a range extender only a few weeks ago but kind of the opposite and changed to match the host (just a little more complicated than that but not much). I've got an old ip camera that I wasn't so sure about but Ill try this and we'll see, thanks 👍

[@johnbruhling8018]

Success, it required a java or activex compatible browser for applet support, something like IE6 lol! Right now the LAN connection prevents accessing the wifi but theres options for using multiple networks in that same IPV4 window there so I may fiddle with that too but it worked 👍

[@jerryku]

what do u do if the camera has no gateway assigned, just a static ip?

[@mashalaslami3347]

got no reply really sad, lol

[@Mubin360]

Example: If static IP is 192.168.1.86 so gateway will be 192.168.1.1

[@ijaznetservice431]

same for the OLT ip also ?

[@MyLifestyle1509]

Thank you for the wonderful concept. I have an question can you help me with this.

[@Wayne-Jones]

Am I right in assuming you used a crossover cable for direct PC connection?

[@michaelgalli6312]

Only if your computer is really, really old. Current ethernet ports are auto-sensing, you can throw away your cross over cables, or you can use them just like normal cables

[@azazeel900]

Hi i still don't understand if poe ip camera, how should i i find it? Should i using poe switch?

[@arunkhan4951]

Yes. The switch would also have a non POE port. Connect your Wireshark desktop to the non POE port.

[@fazailwaasai3384]

it worked with pc and camera but, I have a switch with static IP could not find the IP using your method, can you explain why?

[@haamikapoor3932]

Very cool and very well explained

how to find other ip address in default gateway in lan

[@Mubin360]

@@CaptainPhilosophical I meant make sure the interface in question is enabled in Windows (if that's your OS). You should be able to find it in the Network Connections. I would also try restarting the computer and maybe re-installing Wireshark. Hope that helps.

My router keeps showing a random unknown “reserved” IP address that I didn’t make. (I delete it when I see it) Could it be a hacker? Or is it a device that’s automatically making it?

[@brcuellar74]

Generally, you "reserve" your own IP address or mac address. Change the password and don't give it out as someone may be accessing the router without your knowledge.
