currently the “OSX” software is actually their iOS app), or some of the necessary software (eg. IP scanner) may not be available for your platform. Here’s a basic overview of what you’ll be doing: Connect the cameras one at a time via an ethernet cable to the same network as your device is on, find the camera’s IP address, log in to the camera using the default port (99 in most cases), and change settings. The first, and most common, problem is finding the camera IP. Supposedly these cameras come from factory configured to accept DHCP IP assignments, but I didn’t find that to be the case in one of my 2 cameras. That caused a problem (more on that later). The simplest way to find the IP is to log in to your router and check what IPs are connected. Different routers have this information in different locations, but most place it under ARP or DHCP or LAN connections. Remember, though, that if you don’t see it under DHCP it may be configured with a set IP address. Hopefully, though, you can find it listed there. The camera’s both had easily identifiable hostname (something like IPCam- cameraID). So that made it easy to figure out which IP was for the camera. If you don’t see that, you can try connecting to one IP after another (starting with the highest-numbered IP as that’s often the most recently assigned IP) at port 99.
