Change static IP
- Thread starter ThorIII
- Start date
Problem is I don't remember how its done.. Marking on the camera indicates that the default IP adress is 192.168.1.126.. but several years ago I have managed to change the IP to 10.0.0.126. And now I have no idea how that happend. If I change the IP adress on my computer to 10.0.0.1 I can log on to the camera but here is no setting option for changing the IP.. ony settings are for resolution, indoor/outdoor and zoom

Log into your router and see if you setup a static IP reservation for that camera via the MAC address. That's where it should always be done nowadays anyway. Its too cumbersome to set static IPs on actual devices when it can all be handled at the router.
Yeah. Thats another problem the router i got now is controlled by the broadband operator and by loging on I can only change the WIFI name and pasword.. 15 years ago when the cameras was in use I had another router and another net operator. It has to be som hidden menu or a telnet option.. I was kind of hoping that someone had the same camera.... aaaargh this is driving me crazy

if the cameras are 15 years old, they are garbage by todays standards. Put them in the recycle bin. I do not think 15 yo cameras had a web interface, they more than likely had a custom application. Do not waste your time.

Your isp should still allow you to login to the router. If they don’t, the give that back and buy your own.
If you are desperate, try the arp command (search google for how to use arp for change IP address). I haven't done it since the 1990's, so don't ask me for details. Your cameras may have the ability disabled.
I would buy new cameras.

It doesn’t make sense that the camera has ”markings” that show it has a factory default ip address, yet, when you log in there are no settings available to change the IP information. If it comes with a default IP address then that automatically implies it comes factory configured as static. So it can’t grab a DHCP address this way because it never asks for an address when set to static. So my guess is you didn’t use the router to give it an IP address reservation because it can’t ask for one since it’s factory set for static.
There must have been a utility you used to configure the camera directly that could change the IP settings.

Yes possibly, hoping someone has the same cam could tell.. attached label on the cam

I'm tentatively thinking not, despite the necroposting, based on the delay between joining and posting.
