What to do

After unpacking the camera, the following steps for a first use are:

Connect an M12 – RJ45 Ethernet cable between the LCam and a Ethernetport (PC or switch)

Connect a Cable for Power supply to the other M12 connector

Power up the cable, wait for approx. 1 minute for LCam to boot. If you hear a faint noise, do
not worry.

Detect the Lcam's address

Either: Run the program hipca detect.exe' and identify the LCam you want to talk with

Or: Use default fixed address (see below). You may have to change the PC's IP to an address
like 192.168.60.101, so it is in the same sub-net

Open Internet browser on the computer

In the browser's address line type in the IP address of the LCAM 408 in the form
"192.168.60.101"

Watch for the camera's web server surface to show up, should appear as in "Menu general
appearance"

Proceed with setting password and video parameters. For that you need a password (see
below for default)

Start streaming video

When finished, start the streaming client as shown below.
