Hardware Manual launched and the IP address of the target camera is already filled in the address bar of the browser. There is even a better way to discover the cameras in the network – by using IP Utility. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc., and allows quick configuration of multiple devices at the same time.
