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:

- 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
