Canon Login: Default IP, Username, Password

Canon is widely recognized for its high-quality imaging technology, and its range of IP cameras is no exception. Designed for professional surveillance, Canon IP cameras are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and public sector environments for their reliable image quality and versatile features. Accessing the camera’s configuration and monitoring interface requires knowing the default IP address, username, and password. This guide will help you with these default login credentials and answer some common questions to assist with setup and troubleshooting.

Default IP Address

The default IP address is your primary access point to the Canon IP camera’s web interface, allowing you to configure settings, view live footage, and manage system options. Canon security cameras are typically preset with a default IP address, although the exact address can vary depending on the model.

For most Canon IP cameras, the default IP address is:

  • 192.168.100.1
  • 192.168.0.1 (some models)

To connect to your camera, ensure that your computer or device is on the same network as the camera. Open a web browser, enter the IP address in the address bar, and press Enter. This should bring up the login page, where you can input the default credentials.

If neither of these IP addresses works, you may need to refer to the user manual for model-specific IP information or use an IP scanning tool (like Advanced IP Scanner) to locate the camera’s IP on your network.

Default Username

Canon IP cameras generally come with a default administrative username to facilitate initial setup. This username provides full access to the camera’s features and settings. For most Canon CCTV cameras, the default username is:

  • admin

The default “admin” username gives the user administrative rights, allowing them to configure network settings, update firmware, and access advanced functions. It is recommended to change this username after your initial setup to secure the camera from unauthorized access.

Default Password

The default password is another essential credential for first-time login to the Canon IP camera’s interface. Most Canon IP cameras come with a default password set to:

  • admin

In some cases, there may be no password set by default, meaning you can leave the password field blank when first logging in. After logging in, you should set a unique password immediately. This will help safeguard your device from unauthorized access.

If you’re unable to log in with “admin” as the password or if the password has been changed, you may need to perform a factory reset to revert to the default login credentials.

FAQ

If the default IP address isn’t working, it’s possible the camera’s IP was modified during a previous configuration. To find the correct IP address, use an IP scanner tool to identify all devices on your network and locate your Canon camera’s IP. Alternatively, if the camera supports DHCP, check your router’s list of connected devices for the IP address.

To reset the Canon IP camera to factory settings, locate the reset button on the camera’s body (often near the power connector). Press and hold the reset button for approximately 10–15 seconds until the camera restarts. This will restore the default IP address, username, and password, allowing you to log in with the original credentials.

No, it’s not secure to keep the default login credentials. Default usernames and passwords are widely known and can expose your device to unauthorized access. Change both the username and password immediately after the initial login to secure your camera.

After logging in with the default credentials, navigate to the camera’s settings or security section, where you can update the username and password. Choose a strong, unique password with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to enhance security.

If you forget your password, the only option to regain access is to reset the camera to factory settings. This will erase any custom configurations, but it will restore the default username and password, allowing you to log in again.

Yes, Canon IP cameras can be accessed remotely with proper network configuration. To set this up, enable remote access in the camera’s settings and configure port forwarding on your router. Make sure to use a strong password and, if available, enable two-factor authentication for added security when accessing the camera remotely.

This may indicate that the default password was changed previously. If you’re certain you’re using the correct IP address and username, perform a factory reset to restore the default credentials.

By following this guide, you should be able to access and configure your Canon IP camera quickly and efficiently. Always remember to update the default username and password to prevent unauthorized access and ensure your surveillance system remains secure.
