Default Login Credentials for Imou Cameras

Cameras 11 minutes

Imou offers easy-to-install IP cameras that are heavily used for private and small business security. Although their cameras are easy to set up and easy to use via a mobile app, many still look up passwords to connect to their IP camera via a browser or locally. Newer IP camera brands like Imou disable the default login combinations out of safety measures, but knowing what they are on an IP camera still makes the process smoother.

Default IP

Imou cameras do not rely on a fixed default IP address in most cases. Instead, they obtain an IP automatically from your router using DHCP. This means the address will vary depending on your network. To find the current IP of your device, you can:

Check your router's connected devices list
Use the Imou mobile app to view device details
Scan the network with a discovery tool

In some rare cases, especially during initial setup or offline configuration, a fallback IP such as 192.168.1.108 may be used, but this is not guaranteed across all models.

Default Username

Most Imou cameras do not have a general default username like you find with the old IP cameras. Most are associated directly with an account setup in the Imou app. If a username is needed to access the camera via a web browser or RTSP stream, it is generally: admin.

But it is model and firmware specific. For most installations, it is linked to a fixed, existing account.

Default Password

Although the camera does not have a default password, the default password has been changed at the time of registration. It is recommended to use a strong password.

Reset the device If you're searching for a camera without knowing a password, resetting the device is the only option. You'll then have to do the configuration again by the Imou application and choose a new password.

Default Port

Imou cameras may use several ports depending on the service:

HTTP port - 80
RTSP port - 554
ONVIF port - often 8899 or similar

These ports can vary slightly by model and firmware, and some may be disabled by default for security reasons. Advanced users can enable or modify them through settings if supported.

FAQs

What are the default login details for Imou cameras?

Imou cameras usually do not have fixed default credentials. Users create their own password during setup, and the username is often linked to the app account.

How do I find my Imou camera IP address?

You can find it in your router's device list or inside the Imou app under device information. Network scanning tools can also help identify it.

Can I access Imou cameras via a web browser?

Most Imou models are designed for mobile app use, and browser access is limited or not supported unless specific services like RTSP or ONVIF are enabled.

What should I do if I forgot my camera password?

You need to reset the camera using the physical reset button. After that, set it up again through the app and create a new password.

Does Imou support RTSP streaming?

Yes, many Imou cameras support RTSP, but it may need to be enabled in settings. The default port is usually 554.

Why can't I log into my Imou camera locally?

Local login may be disabled or restricted. Ensure your device supports it and that you are using the correct IP, port, and credentials.

Are default credentials safe to use?

Using default credentials is not recommended. Always create a strong, unique password to protect your camera from unauthorized access.
