FlexPower ONVIF Wire-Free IP Camera and Base Station User Manual
To add a camera to an ONVIF-compliant VMS:
1.
Determine the IP address of the camera in your network by doing the following:
a.
Open a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the same LAN as the
base station.
If you are unable to connect to the same LAN using WiFi, use an Ethernet cable to connect a
computer to the same router or switch as the base station.
b.
Enter the domain name or IP address of the base station.
If you do not know the domain name or IP address, see
on page 16.
A login window opens.
c.
Enter the base station password.
The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The password is
case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
d.
For the camera for which you want to view the IP address, click the Settings icon and select Camera
Info.
The Camera Info page displays and shows the camera information, including the IP address.
e.
Write down the IP address.

Open your VMS application.

Follow the instructions provided by your VMS application vendor to discover an ONVIF camera.
If the automatic discovery process does not work, you might need the following information to manually
add the camera to your VMS application:
•
IP address. The camera IP address that you determined in Step 1.
•
Port numbers. HTTP port 80, RTSP port 554.

As the device type, select ONVIF or Generic ONVIF.

For best performance, select h.264 for video.
After you add the camera to the VMS, you can select one of three default streaming profiles or create
your own custom profile.
