Network Setup -

Guide to Network Environment
Please configure the IP Camera at the
installation site. You must determine your
network scenario in order to configure the IP
Camera with the proper TCP/IP settings.
This tutorial will guide you through the
process. Before actually configuring the IP
Camera, determine settings to be applied.
Record those settings to be used to configure
your IP Camera for reference.
When configuring your I
P Camera, treat the
IP Camera as another PC on your network.
You will assign it several addresses and other
TCP/IP properties to match your current
network.
This step-by-step tutorial will teach what IP
addresses and network
configurations
should be assigned based on the network
scenario.
5. The following descriptions are several basic network
scenarios. Determine which scenario describes your network.
If your network does not match one of the scenarios below
and you are unsure how to setup your IP Camera, contact
your network administrator and then call our Support Center.
1. Before you begin, locate any information and settings received
from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may need to
refer to these IP addresses at a later time during the
configuratio
n.
Current TCP/IP Settings
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Primary DNS Server
Secondary DNS Server (Option)
Static
Dynamic
2. You must determine whether the IP address is STATIC or
DYNAMIC. At this moment, you are only concerned about the ISP.
Did they provide you with a STATIC or DYNAMIC address? If you
are unsure, contact your ISP.
3.
Configure your IP Camera’s
TCP/IP settings for network
connectivity by selecting Setup from the main interface and
selecting TCP/IP located on the left of the Setup screen.
4.
If prompted for ID and Password, use
‘admin’
for both entries.
The default web port number is 80. If port 80 is blocked by the
ISP, a value between 1025 ~ 60000 should be used. If TCP port
80 is blocked, consult the ISP.
You cannot control the rectangular gray areas and only the ISP
has access to the devices.
If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was responsible
for the setup and installation of your Internet connection, go to
step 2.
If you are not using a router on your network, your
‘Current
TCP/IP
Settings’ (from the previous section) and ‘Assigned IP Addresses
from My ISP’ will be exactly the
same.
