You should be able to then click connect, and get a video feed and control of the camera over the network.

You can test your camera feed using the Upgrade 2.8 tool by right-clicking on your cameras IP address in the search and choose “Preview”. You should be able to adjust the network video feeds and most all of the settings for the camera from the IP interface.

The Live Video Preview in the IP interface rarely works, but if you want to get it working I would try and download the Active X plugin for IE and then use internet explorer to get the feed. You will be prompted for a Username and Password, both are “admin” by default. Now that you have set the Static IP address of your PTZOptics camera, you should be able to pull up the IP interface by typing the IP address into a browser.

Please note: in more complex network environments you may have to request a “STATIC IP” from the IT department to prevent any possible complications on your network in addition to the appropriate Network Mask, Default Gateway and First DNS for that Static IP 1 instead of the last set of digits in your IP address. The Gateway should be the same as the IP address you used, but. You should be able to leave the subnet mask alone unless there is a reason for you to change it. You should now be able to set your cameras IP address to one in the range of your network. Once you know your IP range you can right-click on the camera you wish to change the IP address for and click “config”. The camera will reboot after receiving this command. Star (*) then Pound (#) then (Manual) – This will reset your IP configuration or the camera back its static setting at its static IP address of 192.168.100.88 (PTZ cams) or 192.168.100.99 (Zcams). The shortcut above this can then tell you what that IP address is. If you know that this camera is hooked to a DHCP router, you can do this to have the camera finds its won DHCP address. Pound ( #) then Star ( *) then ( 4) Will place the camera into DHCP mode. So you can have the HDMI hooked up to a monitor, it will tell you the IP address the camera currently has. Star (*) then Pound (#) then (4) – will show you the current IP configuration across the video output. The camera has numerous IR shortcuts built in to help with this process of finding your camera's IP address and getting it on the network. NOTE: if you need to find the IP range of your network, you can do so by following the guide in the extras section at the end of this document. We also have a different Subnet setup with the so both IP schemes show up with all our cameras on the network. This should be the first (3) sets of digits from the interface you are using the find the cameras.

You will need to update that to be in the same range as your network. The camera comes with a default static IP address of 192.168.100.88. The next thing to do is change your camera's IP address to be in the same range as your network.

If you don’t know which option is your connection to the camera, please take a look at the extras section at the end of this guide to find your IP range, and then select the option that is that range. The program does always have some multicast addresses in the interface options as well. This is letting you select the different NIC (network) ports on your computer. Once you run the program, you should be able to change the “interface” option in the upper right of the search tab. If this happens, look at the extras section at the end of this guide. The program uses mDNS for discovery, so if you are using a switch that does not support mDNS, this program may not find your cameras.

The program downloads as a ZIP file, so it needs to be un-zipped on your machine before you can run it.

This is available for MAC or Windows machines. Next, go online and download the Upgrade tool (IP address setting tool), from the PTZOptics Download Page. The first thing you are going to want to do to get your camera up and streaming on your network is to connect your camera to power, to an active network port on your network and finally to power the camera on.
