About the Vigilant Toolbox
The Vigilant Toolbox is a PC-based network utility for discovery of compatible devices on an IP network. It provides an
easy way to configure cameras, record network configuration settings, and set device passwords. It can be installed on a
Microsoft Windows operating system that has access to the IP network where your devices are installed.
Step 1. Install the Software
1. Download the Vigilant Toolbox from the web:
B1122-1-0-1-200828.zip
2. Un-zip the file on a computer with Microsoft Windows that is connected to the LAN where your camera is
connected.
3. Run the setup file contained in the zip file. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the file.
NOTE : Be sure to allow the software administrative access or it will not work properly.
4. Open the Vigilant Toolbox application. When the application opens, it automatically "discovers" and lists all
compatible devices on the LAN. The discovery of devices can take several minutes. Take note of the IP
address of your camera as you will need this to log into and activate it. See below.
Step 2. "Activate" Inactive Camera
NOTE: Cameras are shipped with the default IP Address of 172.16.0.xxx. The last set of numbers in your IP
address will be random, but will always be in the 172.16.0.xxx subnet. See "Step 3. Modify Network
Parameters" for more information on how to change these.
When a camera is first installed, or reset to its factory configuration, it must be "Activated" before it can be used. A
device is "Activated" when a password is assigned to the admin username of the device. To do this you will need to
login to the camera through a browser.
In the following steps, a camera is activated and configured for its network using Microsoft Edge.
