Network Setup -
Guide to the Network Environment
Please configure the IP Camera at the
installation site. You must determine your
network scenario 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 IP Camera, treat the
IP Camera as another PC on your network.
You will assign it to 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.
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 configuration.
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.
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.

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.

You cannot control the rectangular gray areas and only
the ISP has access to the devices.
