It's highly likely that it will simply use its only interface as a default route, at least that's the way it worked for the two IP cameras I set up that also had an initial IP address of 1.1.1.1.
That's not generally how IPv4 works. In the simple, most common configuration, a device has an address and a netmask. For a device that defaults to 1.1.1.1, that's probably either /8 or /24. In that case, the device will be able to respond to addresses prefixed with 1.anything or 1.1.1.anything, respectively.
It's technically possible that the device could have a 0.0.0.0/0 direct route on its network interface, but it's extremely unlikely. I've never seen a device configured that way by default. (Such a device would try to resolve all addresses via ARP.) If a device were configured that way, users probably wouldn't be instructed to use 1.1.1.2 as their own address, as Bob was. And that's really the point: Bob stated the requirement that he use 1.1.1.2 as his address, and adding a direct route doesn't accomplish that.
