Product Activation

This guide walks you through activating your OV80i camera system. By the end of this process, your camera will be fully registered and ready for production use.

Overview​

The OV80i camera requires activation before all features become available. The activation process registers the camera with Overview and enables functionality. This one-time procedure takes approximately 2–5 minutes to complete.

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • OV80i camera powered on and connected to your network
  • Access to the camera's web interface through a browser
  • Reliable internet connection on the device used for activation
  • Activation code or license key (if provided separately)
note

Offline Support: The activation code can be provided separately if the computer being used to activate the camera is not connected to the internet. Contact support@overview.ai

Connecting to the Camera​

1. Establish Network Connection​

  • Connect the OV80i camera to your local network using the Ethernet port
  • Power on the camera using the provided power supply (or 24V from your machine's power supply)
  • Wait approximately 60 seconds for the camera to fully boot
  • Confirm the camera is online by checking that the status LED is solid green

2. Access the Web Interface​

  • Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network
  • Enter the camera's IP address in the address bar:
    • Default IP: 10.250.0.100
    • If using DHCP: Find the assigned IP address in your router's client list
  • Press Enter to navigate to the camera's web interface
  • If this is your first time connecting, you'll automatically be directed to the setup wizard
