RoboSHOT HD Cameras THE SCREEN SHOT TOUR The RoboSHOT camera platform uses a Linux OS and has a built-in web server. The internal web pages will allow control of the attached camera via an Ethernet network connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to control the camera, set PTZ presets, set security passwords, change the IP address, view diagnostics, access the firmware upgrade page and more! Compatible Web Browsers You may ask, "What are the approved web browsers that work with the RoboSHOT's embedded web server?" The answer is: Chrome® (latest version), Firefox® (latest version), Internet Explorer® (versions 8 through 11) and Safari® (versions 6 and 7) have been tested thoroughly with RoboSHOT and are compatible. DHCP IP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP). If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server, then the IP address, gateway and routing information will automatically be assigned. The software is defaulted to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of (169.254.1.1) if no DHCP server can be found. Static IP Set-up: The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable. Depending on the age of the computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same for network or direct connection to a computer. The default address of the camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different computer OS types all have their own way of doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the RoboSHOT are accessible. Screen Shot: Login The RoboSHOT webserver is intended as a user's camera control page at one level, and an administrator's management tool at another level, which requires password authentication for access. The Login Page will appear if there is a user name assigned by the administrator. Assigning a user name can limit access to the admin menus by a general user. By default, the User name is: user, and the password for the User account is: password. The Administrator can set the name and password for the User account. By default, the Admin user name is: admin, and the password for the admin account is: password If a user or an admin logs in through this screen, then the next page shown will be the camera control page. The user will only have access to the camera control page. The Admin will have complete access to all web pages. RoboSHOT HD Cameras - Document Number 342-0795 Rev A Page 15 of 44
