first camera ordered IPC-HDW5231R-Z

just ordered my first camera ......completely new to this so the journey is about to start!
I figured I will play around with this one before adding any new ones

@bvpurvis You picked a great camera. I was not as fortunate when I started. I picked some 4MB Hik's that were awful at night.

I'm still playing around with mine but right out of the box they worked great.
Be careful some are set to 192.168.1.110 and some 192.168.1.108. Drove me nuts for a little while.
I'm not very tech savvy on this stuff.

Use the config tool that comes on the disc with the camera. It will find the cam no matter the IP.

Thanks Looney2ns!

I found each one as I installed, did the config and changed each one to a different ip. I can log into each one using the NACL plugin for chrome of all of them using the SmartPSS from my desktop.

Do these login methods work via Mac too?

Isn't that the truth...
