Section 3: Configuration
Network Setup
Use this section to configure the network connections for your camera. All relevant information must be entered accurately. After making any
changes, click the
Save Settings
button to save your changes.
LAN Settings:
DHCP:
Static IP Client:
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Router:
This section lets you configure settings for your local
area network.
Select this connection if you have a DHCP server running
on your network and would like your camera to obtain
an IP address automatically.
If you choose DHCP, you do not need to fill out the IP
address settings.
You may obtain a static or fixed IP address and other
network information from your network administrator
for your camera. A static IP address may simplify access
to your camera in the future.
Enter the IP address that the camera will use on your
network. You may need to get this information from
your ISP or network administrator.
Enter the subnet mask that your camera will use on
the network. The default value is “255.255.255.0.” This is
used to determine if the destination is part of the same
subnet.
Enter the address of the router or gateway your camera
will use on the network. The gateway is used to forward
frames to destinations in a different subnet. Invalid
gateway settings may cause transmissions to a different
subnet to fail.
