How to Locate an IP Camera on Your Network

[@tonyjosephs1396]

mate i have watched loads of these videos and this is spot on no fancy words that i don t understand it all makes sence now THANK YOU

[@WentworthCCTV]

Glad it helped

[@toto7751]

Thank you very much. You are best teacher in the world. I learned a lot from this video. I wonder why my IP camera worked first set up, and next day never work(shown camera off line). So I only used first day, and can not use from 2nd day. But you gave me a great way of solve my problem. I will follow your instructions later on. Again thank you very much and May God Blessed for you and your family.

[@mojtabataghizade8320]

so the thing is you somehow guessed or knew what you camera range is and changed your ipv4 according to, but what if we had no idea about the camera ip ? can it be done by MCadress?

[@Lucasimo]

Great advice here. Now I properly understand how IP addresses work. Spent hours yesterday trying to get my new Hikvision camera set up. Watched this video and then realised that the ISP gateway IP must be compatible with the IP address of the camera. I changed the IP address of the camera toi make sure the router could see it, and bingo - it worked! Thanks so much for this video :-)

[@ylwpaul]

Thanks for this excellent and clear video. My challenge right now is locating an older ip camera on my network. I can see video from the camera via a P2P app but cannot talk to the camera to confirm its settings nor locate the camera via an ip address.

[@linkmorehouse]

do you have any knowledge is converting an old xfinity camera to personal use without an xfinity account and use it on a personal camera network

[@WentworthCCTV]

It depends on who manufactured the camera. Do you know the OEM? We would have to start there to determine if you can use it. It may be Honeywell, is there a name on the cameras other than Xfinity?

I have 3 IP cameras on a switch through AP. 1 of the cameras is not coming up in NVR, but when I plug it directly in NVR it works. Any suggestions?

[@WentworthCCTV]

The camera may have changed it’s IP address if it’s in DHCP in network setting. When you plug into NVR, it is plug and play so NVR programs it. But when it’s not plugged directly in to NVR it is manually added. So I would plug a laptop into PoE switch and do a SADP scan to locate its IP addresses. Make sure they are the same in NVR channel settings.

[@nealpal7851]

Thank you. Appreciate it

[@HedroomMax]

Really good tutorial, thanks! I have a HikVision NVR and a few Chinese cameras. The image quality is superb, but I can't configure it's functionality. Those cameras has face recognition, human recognition, tripwire, intrusion area, etc, but I can't trigger the recording on those events. What do you suggest? Thanks a lot!

Hello. Can you please help me as to how I can use my icam2 which was through my cable acct. It is manufactured by Serrcom. It was only 1 cord which is directly wired from the back of the camera and the other end is Ethernet that plugs into power block. I can't fid any info on this configuration. I would greatly appreciate your help

[@robertshade8631]

What can I do if all cameras experience video loss and several months ago internet provider changed router.Would any ports be affected and need changed?

[@WentworthCCTV]

Thats a loaded question. What do you mean by all cameras experience video loss? Can you see the cameras at all? Are they online?

[@megadun2610]

Looking at the tutorial,its quite clear you are demonstrating how to make the cam discoverable on your network assuming you know its default static ip add. But the video was supposed to demonstrate to us how to find a camera that its ip address is unknown to you,so the video doesn't seem to address that problem.

[@WentworthCCTV]

The title is actually “locating an IP camera ON YOUR NETWORK”. That means on the same gateway. So the video is exactly what we said it is. That said, The method for finding a camera not in DHCP (off your network) is dependent on manufacturer. For Hikvision SADP Tool will do it. For Dahua it’s their config tool. I have videos on both of them.

[@robertshade8631]

Sir how can I get cameras reactivated if new router but cameras show video loss.Certain internet providers like Charter and Spectrum are not much help and BunkerHill has no support staff.Any suggestions!

[@johnmurphy9601]

Hi, thank you for thus, but I'm still stumped. I've got a Dahua NVR with one camera hard wired into the NVR....and when I run the Dahua config tool, it only shows the NVR and not the associated camera?

yep. same here. I have no idea of the default ip given to my chinese low budget cams and the video only addresses a brand that has a known IP.

Hi, if we change the internet router, the settings for the IP camera must change to the router settings. However, my sineoji camera supplier closed business and I am unable to figure out the sineoji camera IP address. Is there a website to search for it? Thanks

[@WentworthCCTV]

You can use any network scanner to locate the cameras. The scanner will show IP, mac and manufacturer. I use advanced ip scanner.

[@fongfongwan3280]

@@WentworthCCTV Hi thanks for your prompt reply. However, my IP cam now is offline because it cannot be read to my new router and my old router internet has crashed. So the advanced IP scanner cannot scan any offline cam right?

[@robertshade8631]

I m experience the same with some BunkerHill brand cameras.Any suggestions!

[@misssjones5914]

How do you find the cameras gateway number?

[@WentworthCCTV]

By using the manufacturers configuration tool. Hikvision is SADP and Dahua has Config Tool. Use those to locate your cameras ip address and gateway. Hikvision is generally 192.168.1.64 and Dahua 192.168.1.108 although many new cameras are starting to be shipped in DHCP.

If the IP camera is in DHCP in network settings, the IP address may be changing when you have a power failure. Change the IP to static and see what happens.

I just want to know how to find surveillance cameras outside my home that are spying on our home?

[@WentworthCCTV]

That is the first time I have heard that one. If you have a router, you can do an air survey and see anything with a wireless card and look for cameras. Of course, it could be a neighbor with a perfectly legit camera in their yard or in their home. Hard to determine if it is watching you. Could go old school and look for the red IR illuminators at night.

[@joelopez6472]

what if you have 16 cameras how do you see all 16 at one tiime?

[@vtim2973]

what if you dont have a router?

[@WentworthCCTV]

If you don’t have a router, you would have to locate the camera by SADP for Hikvision cameras or Dahuas Config Tool for Dahua. Each manufacturer has its own scanning tool.

[@rustywalters80]

What if my ip address was chaged and now i cannot find it?

SADP will locate it and give you the new ip address
