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
- The fallback IP address is 192.168.10.99. 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
