To configure SharpV cameras, you must log on to the Sharp Portal.

Before you begin

  • You need to know the IP address or name of the SharpV camera you want to connect to:
    SharpV
    You can find the SharpV name (for example, SharpV12345) on the label on the back of the unit.
    Fallback IP address
    If you cannot connect to a SharpV on your network, you can try connecting using the camera's fallback IP address. For more information, see Connecting to a SharpV camera using the fallback IP address.

What you should know

  • You can access the Sharp Portal using the following browsers:
    • Microsoft Edge version 41 and later
    • Google Chrome version 46 and later
  • To ensure that camera feeds are displayed correctly, only open one instance of the Sharp Portal at a time.
  • To log onto the portal, the SharpV must be provided with PoE+ power that conforms to IEEE 802.3at standards. If the camera encounters power issues, a warning is displayed and you can see details in the SharpV Portal - Logs page. For more information on specifications for the SharpV, see the AutoVu SharpV Deployment Guide.
