Hi Sunil,

Is the Smartcamera powering on? How have you made the power connections?

Please find below a link which is a details manual on getting started with the SmartCamera.

Hi voodoo,

Thank you for replying......i have connected smartcamera correctly......the power is on  and camera is STATUS LED is solid glow.....everything is fine..........

still it is not detecting......i think there is some problem with IP address of the camera..........i tried in several computers connecting the camera but it is not showing anything in it.........

can you please tell me how to change IP address of this camera which is by default 0.0.0.0 as per manuals........any other methods to debug this problem......

thank you

Hi Sunil,

Please try the following steps.

- Locate the DIP switches, move the SAFE MODE switch to ON position and reset the camera.

- Open MAX and press F5. The smart camera should showup under remote systems.

- Click on the smart camera - a configuration screen should show up on the right side of the screen

-  Under IP settings select  "use the following IP address:"

-  Enter an IP address which would be compatible with your computer IP address ( for eg the IP address should be in the format 192.168.1.x)

- Apply the settings, move the safe mode switch back to OFF position and reset the camera.
