Questions and answers
how do I find my icamera2 IP address
To find the IP address of the iControl iCamera2, follow these steps:
1. Reset to Default (if needed): Perform a hard reset to restore default settings, which will set the camera to use DHCP for IP assignment.
2. Check Router's DHCP List: Access your router’s admin page and look for the list of connected devices to find the assigned IP address.
3. Use a Network Scanner: Run a network scanning tool to detect devices on your local network and identify the camera’s IP address.
4. Connect via WebGUI: Once the IP is found, enter it in a web browser to access the camera’s settings.
If the camera is reset, the default username is "administrator" with a blank password.
