Oncam Default IP, Username, Password

Oncam is a well-known brand in the surveillance industry, particularly for its advanced 360-degree cameras and innovative security solutions. Their cameras are widely used in various industries, including retail, transportation, and critical infrastructure, due to their high-quality video, durability, and extensive compatibility with security systems. For users setting up an Oncam camera for the first time, knowing the default IP address, username, and password is essential. This information helps users access and configure the camera on a local network, ensuring proper setup and integration with other security components.

In this guide, we’ll cover Oncam’s default IP address, default username, and default password, as well as some common questions (FAQ) related to initial Oncam camera setup.

Default IP Address

By default, Oncam cameras are typically set to DHCP mode. This means they do not come with a pre-configured IP address but instead will receive an IP address automatically from the DHCP server on the network. This can be a router or another DHCP-enabled device. However, if a DHCP server is not available on the network, some models may revert to a fallback IP address, which is often 192.168.0.200.

To identify the IP address of an Oncam camera on your network, follow these steps:

  1. Use the Oncam 360° Camera Viewer Tool: Oncam provides a free tool for discovering its cameras on the network. Download the tool from the Oncam website, install it, and use it to locate your camera.
  2. Access your Router's Admin Page: Log in to your router’s admin page and check the list of connected devices. The Oncam camera’s IP should be listed here.
  3. Use Network Scanning Software: Tools like Advanced IP Scanner or Angry IP Scanner can help identify the Oncam camera’s IP address.

Once you have the camera’s IP address, you can type it into a web browser to access the camera’s login page and begin configuration.

Default Username

For most Oncam cameras, the default username is: admin.

This username grants administrative access, allowing the user to configure settings, view live streams, and adjust camera features. It’s crucial to use the administrative account for the initial setup to access all camera settings and permissions.

Default Password

The default password for Oncam cameras is generally: admin.

It’s important to note that some Oncam models may not have a default password set and may prompt you to create one during the initial setup for improved security. In either case, it is highly recommended to change the default password immediately after setup to prevent unauthorized access.

FAQ

First, ensure your camera and computer are connected to the same network. Use the Oncam Camera Viewer Tool to scan for devices, and verify that the camera is powered on and properly connected to the network. If you’re still having trouble, try using a network scanner app or checking your router’s connected devices list.

Once logged into the camera’s web interface, navigate to the network settings section. Here, you can either set a static IP address or continue using DHCP mode. Setting a static IP is often beneficial for easier future access and integration with network video recorders (NVRs) or video management systems (VMS).

Leaving the default credentials makes the camera vulnerable to unauthorized access. Anyone familiar with Oncam devices can potentially access your camera if it’s not secured. Changing the default login details ensures a more secure surveillance system.

Most Oncam cameras can be reset to factory settings to restore the default credentials. This usually involves pressing a reset button on the camera for a certain number of seconds. After the reset, the username and password will revert to their default settings, typically “admin” for both.

Yes, but additional configuration is necessary. You’ll need to enable remote access on your router and may need to configure port forwarding for the camera’s IP address. Additionally, some Oncam cameras support cloud access, which can simplify remote viewing without requiring extensive network configuration.

Yes, Oncam cameras generally support ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) protocols, which allow compatibility with many third-party systems like NVRs and VMSs. However, ensure that your specific model supports ONVIF if you plan to integrate it with non-Oncam systems.

Oncam cameras are versatile and powerful devices in the surveillance industry. While they typically use DHCP mode for IP addressing and “admin/admin” for default login credentials, it’s vital to update these settings for better security and network integration.
