Network
You can choose to use a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address
(assigned by a DHCP server or router) for the camera.
Get IP address automatically (DHCP)
The camera comes preconfigured with a fixed IP address, selecting
Get
IP address automatically
requires a router or DHCP server to assign
an IP address to the camera.
Note
Every network device has a unique Media Access Control
(MAC) address that can be used for identification. The MAC
address is located on the bottom of each camera, and on the
box label (AvertX IP Finder also displays the MAC address for
identification). Record your camera’s MAC address for
identification in the future.
Use fixed IP address
To assign a new static IP address:
1. Select the
Use fixed IP address
option.
2. Type a new IP address in the
IP address
box.
3. Type a new address in the
Default Gateway
box.
4. Click
Save
to confirm the new setting.
When using static IP address to log in to the IP Camera, you can
access it either through the AvertX IP Finder software or type the IP
address directly in the Address bar of your internet browser.
