Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network function and
configure the proper network settings of the IP camera.
4.2.1 Enable DHCP Function
This function can only work if the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. If the
DHCP server is working, please move the dip switch points up to

section 4.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 4.3 (TCP/IP Communication Software).
NOTE: If the LAN has no DHCP server, the camera’s IP address will be assigned of the
default 192.168.1.168 after 3 minutes or the unit will request it's last assigned IP address
after 3 minutes.
