Initial Network Setup | Locate IP Address for Zavio Cameras
The first step in setting up a Zavio IP camera is to connect it to a network and power source. Then users can locate the camera on their network using simple tools for Windows and Mac PCs. By default Zavio IP cameras are set up to use DHCP. This means that the camera expects a network router to assign it an IP address when it is connected to it. After the camera is connected, the Intelligent IP installer (IP camera network locator tool) can be used on Windows and the Bonjour network service on Mac to locate the IP address of the camera. Once users know the local network IP address of the camera, they can access the camera via a web browser.
Bonjour installation instructions are covered in the below video after the Windows setup. Mac / Bonjour setup is also available here.
Windows users can download the latest IP camera locator tool / Intelligent IP installer software here.
Watch the below video to see how to establish the first network to the camera from Mac and Windows.
