Connecting the Camera

1. Allow Through Windows Firewall (First Time Only)

Allow communication through Windows Firewall so that InfinicamQuick can communicate with the camera.

The camera cannot connect unless this is configured

Launching InfinicamQuick does not display a prompt asking to allow it through the firewall. If this is not allowed, the camera will not be found, so be sure to make this setting first.

1. Type “Control Panel” into the Start menu search box, open it, and click System and Security.

   

2. Click Allow an app through Windows Firewall.

   

3. Click Change settings in the upper right. Then click Allow another app, which becomes clickable.

   

4. Click Browse, select InfinicamQuick.exe inside the InfinicamQuick folder, and click Open. Once InfinicamQuick.exe appears in the list of apps, click Add.

   

5. Confirm that both Private and Public are checked for the added InfinicamQuick.exe in the list, then click OK.

   

Why you should also check 'Public'

When you connect the camera directly to the PC, Windows sometimes treats that network as an “unidentified network” (public). Since the connection can fail with only “Private” checked, check both.

Note

The firewall permission is tied to the location of InfinicamQuick.exe. If you later move the InfinicamQuick folder to a different location, you will need to make this setting again.

2. Network Configuration

To communicate with the camera, configure the network adapter (NIC) on the PC connected to the camera with an IP address on the same network as the camera.

	IP address	Subnet mask
Camera (factory default)	192.168.0.10	255.255.255.0
Example PC setting	192.168.0.1	255.255.255.0

1. From the Start menu, open Settings → Network & internet and click Ethernet.

   

2. Open the adapter connected to the camera (often shown as “Unidentified network”) and click Edit next to IP assignment.

   

3. Select Manual, turn on IPv4, enter the following, and click Save.

   • IP address: 192.168.0.1
   • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
   • Gateway / DNS: leave blank

   

Caution

• Do not set the PC’s IP address to 192.168.0.10, the same address used by the camera.
• Changing the settings of an adapter used for your corporate LAN or similar will disconnect it from that network. Use an adapter dedicated to the camera.

3. Connect to the Camera

1. Click Connect to Cam in the upper left of the main screen.

   

2. In the Connect to Cam screen, click Detect to start searching for the camera.

   

   If the PC has multiple network adapters

   Select Specify under Network adapter, enter the IP address of the adapter connected to the camera, and then click Detect — the search will finish faster.

3. Any cameras found are displayed in the list. Check the checkbox next to the camera you want to connect to, then click Connect.

   

4. Once the connection completes, the camera (for example, GbE-2(192.168.0.10)) is added under Camera in the Device tree, and the live video feed is displayed.

   

If the camera does not appear in the list

Check the following:

• Whether you have allowed the app through Windows Firewall
• Whether the PC and camera IP addresses are on the same network (Network Configuration)
• Whether the LAN cable is properly connected and the camera is powered on

Next, proceed to Live View & Capture.
