This page summarizes common device configuration and maintenance tasks in LxCameraViewer. For installation, device connection, and the complete interface reference, see the LxCameraViewer user guide.
Before upgrading camera firmware or an application algorithm, confirm that the package matches the camera model. Do not disconnect power or the network during an upgrade.

Network and interfaces

Change the camera IP address

Open IP configuration tool from Other tools, select the target camera, and update its IP address, subnet mask, or gateway. Keep the host and camera on the same subnet.
