Q: Is CP Plus Camera IP Finder software free? A: Yes, the official Smart Manager and Config Tool are free to download from CP Plus’s website. No license or subscription is required.
Q: Can I use it on a Mac? A: Officially, no. The tools are Windows-based. Mac users can run Windows via Parallels, Boot Camp, or Wine, or use universal alternatives like ONVIF Device Manager (which has a Mac version).
Q: Will the IP finder work if the camera is connected to an NVR?
A: Partially. If the camera is plugged directly into an NVR’s built-in PoE ports, the NVR often places the camera on a private, isolated subnet (e.g., 10.0.0.x). The IP finder software may not see the camera directly unless you run it from the NVR’s own network interface. In this case, use the NVR’s monitor output to check camera IPs. cp plus camera ip finder software
Q: What if I forgot the camera’s password completely? A: Use the CP Plus “Password Reset” feature within Smart Manager (requires a serial number and a reset code from CP Plus support) or physically reset the camera using the onboard reset button.

Here’s a good feature idea for the CP Plus IP Finder software:
Often, a brand new camera comes with a default IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.10) that does not match your network (e.g., your router uses 192.168.0.1). Because of this mismatch, you cannot view the camera feed.
How to fix this:
The camera will reboot, and you can now access it via a web browser using the new IP address.
If someone connects a CP Plus camera to a router with a different IP range (e.g., camera has 192.168.1.x but network is 10.0.0.x), the software can still discover it via UDP broadcast probing and then reassign the IP remotely in bulk. This saves hours of manual resetting or physical reconnection.

A generic network scanner can find the camera’s IP, but it won’t identify it as a "CP Plus Camera" easily. You must look for the MAC address vendor (CP Plus usually uses MAC prefixes belonging to HiSilicon or generic surveillance hardware).
