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:
192.168.100.1192.168.0.1(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.
