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

- To ensure that camera feeds are displayed correctly, only open one instance of the
