address in the address bar of the browser. After typing the address, the 

homepage (Dashboard) of the CCFC camera should appear, as shown in 

Figure 12-1 Dashboard Desktop view. 

The camera ships with automatic network configuration via DHCP enabled. It 

is highly recommended to keep track of any changes made to the network 

settings.  

11.1  Setup Using Wi-Fi 

The CCFC is Wi-Fi enabled. While the camera is powering up, start the 

computer/mobile device and connect to the camera via its Wi-Fi network. The 

camera will appear as CCFC-1000 (for example), where 1000 is the last four 

digits of the camera’s serial number, on the Wi-Fi network. 

Once connected to the camera Wi-Fi, open a web browser and enter the default 

Wi-Fi IP address into the address bar: 

http://10.0.0.1

. This directs the user to 

the camera’s web interface where the camera can be configured. 

11.2  Setup Using Ethernet 

11.2.1 Link Local IP Address Auto-Configuration 

The CCFC supports an automatic IP address configuration in situations where 

the camera is directly connected, via Ethernet cable, to a computer without the 

need of a DHCP server.  

This feature is automatically enabled in the camera and is transparent to its 

normal operation. In this situation, the camera will be accessible using the IP 

address 169.254.99.99. This address will be valid for accessing the camera in 

any network configuration.  

In order to use Link Local, the computer connecting to the CCFC 

must be configured to use DHCP. If the computer is configured to 

use a static IP, one of the remaining interface arrangements will 

need to be used.  

12.  Camera Operation using the Web Interface 

Review how to connect to the web interface with Section 11 Connecting to the 

Web Interface.
