In the case that the OCCT cannot be installed on a laptop for discovery purposes as per company policy, ARP can be used to find the camera address using the Windows Command Prompt.
Using Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
To view the arp cable table for all the interfaces (network adapters) on your computer, type the following in the command window then press Earp /a
The screenshot example below is the arp output of a particular computer. The output of your result will differ.
The arp cache results are dynamic and displays the IP and MAC address of devices (computers, routers) your computer network communicated (e.g., ping, internal website) with recently that are on your network. The table does not display the IP address of websites, servers and other devices outside of your network.
In the Physical Address table above, the Oncam camera will show a Mac address beginning with Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) of “00-11-35”. The internet address should appear in the range of 169.254.xx.xx.
Once the internet address is known, set the PC/Laptop NIC adapter address to an address example: 169.254.100.100/ Subnet: 255.255.0.0.
Open a web browser and enter the camera IP address in the search bar. Press enter.
The camera should prompt for the administrator credentials to be set.
Configure camera as desired.
