Montavue Camera: Default IP, Username, Password, Port

Montavue is a popular brand of security cameras known for their reliability, high-definition image quality, and compatibility with both home and business surveillance systems. Like most IP camera systems, Montavue devices come with factory default network settings that make initial configuration straightforward. Knowing these default details is essential when setting up a new camera, resetting one to factory settings, or troubleshooting connectivity issues.

Default IP Address

The default IP address for Montavue cameras is typically 192.168.1.108. This is a private local address that allows your computer or NVR (Network Video Recorder) to detect and communicate with the camera during the first setup. If your network uses a different range of IP addresses, you may need to manually change the camera’s IP to match your router’s subnet. You can do this using the Montavue Client software or by accessing the camera directly through a web browser.

Default Username

The default username for most Montavue cameras is admin. This account has full access to the device, allowing you to change network configurations, adjust video settings, and manage user accounts. It’s recommended to keep this username but change the default password immediately after installation for security reasons.

Default Password

The default password for Montavue cameras is either admin or left blank (no password). In some models, you’ll be prompted to create a new password during the first login attempt. Since using default passwords is a common security risk, it’s crucial to create a strong password with a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters once you access the device.

Default Port

Montavue cameras typically use port 37777 for TCP connections and port 80 for HTTP access. Port 37777 is used for data and control communication, while port 80 allows web access to the camera’s interface. If you plan to view your cameras remotely, you’ll need to set up port forwarding on your router. Make sure to use secure methods, such as enabling HTTPS or a VPN, to protect your camera from unauthorized access.

If you can’t connect using 192.168.1.108, your network may use a different IP range. Try using the Montavue View or ConfigTool software to scan for connected devices and identify the correct IP address.
Yes. You can change both the HTTP and TCP ports in the network settings menu of your camera or NVR. Changing ports helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access from automated scanning tools.
If you forget your password, you can reset the camera to factory settings. Alternatively, contact Montavue technical support with your camera’s serial number—they can provide a secure reset method.
