Trendnet is a well-known brand in the security and networking industry, offering a variety of IP cameras for surveillance purposes. These cameras are commonly used in both residential and commercial environments due to their affordability and reliable features. For first-time setup or troubleshooting, understanding the default IP address, username, and password is crucial. This guide provides a detailed overview of these default settings and answers common questions related to Trendnet cameras.
Default IP Address
The default IP address for most Trendnet cameras is typically: 192.168.10.30.
This IP address allows users to access the camera’s web interface for configuration. It is essential to connect the camera to the same local network as your computer or smartphone to access this default IP.
How to Access the Default IP Address:
- Connect the Trendnet camera to your router using an Ethernet cable.
- Ensure your computer or device is on the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.10.x).
- Open a web browser and type 192.168.10.30 into the address bar.
- Press Enter to load the login page of the camera.
If the IP address doesn't work, use Trendnet’s IP Installer tool to detect the camera's current IP address or check your router's connected devices list.
Default Username
Trendnet cameras use a standard default username to simplify the initial setup process. The default username is: admin.
This username is pre-configured and cannot be changed during the first-time setup. However, for security reasons, you should always update the credentials after successfully logging in.
Default Password
The default password for Trendnet cameras is: admin.
Both the username and password are set to “admin” by default. This combination simplifies the first login, but it also makes the camera vulnerable to unauthorized access if left unchanged.
Steps to Change the Default Password:
- Log in to the camera’s web interface using the default credentials.
- Navigate to the Settings or Security section.
- Locate the option to update the username and password.
- Enter a new, strong password that combines letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Save the changes.
FAQ
- Locate the reset button (usually a small hole) on the camera.
- Press and hold the button using a paperclip or pin for 10–30 seconds.
- The camera will reboot, and all settings, including the IP address, username, and password, will revert to factory defaults.
By following this guide, you can efficiently configure your Trendnet camera and secure it against unauthorized access. Properly managing the default settings ensures a safe and reliable surveillance setup.
