Mode
: Static vs DHCP: This radio button allows the user to choose between a static IP address, and a dynamic IP
address. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and this enables the camera to automatically
obtain an IP address from another network device such as a server or more commonly, a router. When the DHCP
function is enabled, the user cannot modify the IP address, Subnet Mask, or Default Gateway, as these values are
obtained from the DHCP function. To view the current IP address, DHCP needs to be disabled. Note: When PPPoE
is enabled, modification of the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway becomes prohibited.
