This article applies to the following cameras
EVO-05 Mini
Process
- Download and install Oncam EVO-Series Camera Configuration Tool HERE
- Set Username and Password
Connecting to the Camera
Connect to any camera on your network by entering the camera IP address into the address bar of a browser running on a PC on the same network. To access the Web interface, open a browser window (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari) and enter the IP address of the camera. (For example, http://192.168.0.200).
The first response from the camera will be an authentication screen requesting the Primary Administrator to set up a Username and Password. For enhanced security, default usernames and passwords are not supported. Please follow the steps below to set up your login credentials.
Username
Set an easily identifiable and memorable username for the Primary Administrator. The name must be between 4-32 characters in length. The username can consist of uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), and numbers (0-9). Special characters are not supported.
Password
It is important to always set and use a secure password to access the camera:
- Minimum of 5 characters (required) and a maximum of 32
- It is recommended to create a strong password containing a combination of:
- Uppercase and lowercase characters (e.g., a-z and A-Z)
- Numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Special symbol or punctuation characters. The following special characters are supported: (~!@#$%^&*_-+=`|(){}[]:;',.?/).
Strength Indicator
For guidance, the strength of the password combination is displayed below the password. Use the combination of upper and lower case alphabetic, numeric, and special characters until the password strength is strong enough.
Confirm Password
Please retype your password to confirm it has been correctly entered, if the passwords do not match a notification will appear.

events. The microSD card slot is located on the edge of the camera module.
Compatible SD cards
- microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC
- Up to 128 GB maximum capacity

The camera uses the format EXT3, while most microSD cards use the format FAT32.
Therefore, it is necessary to format the microSD card to EXT3 prior to using the first time.
Use the camera to format the microSD card for an EXT3 file system using the Camera Web
Interface. See Recordings, page 41.
In addition, you may use a computer to format several microSD cards for an EXT3 file system.
While additional software is required, this method may be faster
