To configure SharpZ3 cameras, you must log on to the Sharp Portal.

Before you begin

  • You need to know the IP address or name of the SharpZ3 camera you want to connect to:
    SharpZ3 name
    You can find the SharpZ3 name (for example, SharpZ312345) on the label on the back of the unit.
    Fallback IP address
    If you cannot connect to a SharpZ3 on your network, you can try connecting using the camera's fallback IP address. The fallback IP address is only available if the camera is in DHCP mode (default). After camera startup, the camera searches for a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is present on the network after two minutes, the fallback IP address is made available.

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.
