Establishing network connectivity with the dome
All of the settings for the dome and the dome’s encoder, need to be coordinated so that all components
communicate properly in the network to transmit video and data. This section provides instructions for
addressing the dome, the network, and setting the encoder.
The following procedures are using the Internet Explorer web browser. The steps are similar with other browsers.
Addressing the dome and the network
The Network page establishes the IP addressing for the dome and other network components that allows you to
transmit video and data digitally across an IP network. There are three tabs on the Network page. You must
program the features on the IP tab to ensure connectivity. You may customize the features on the NTP and
Email tabs, but the dome will operate with the default settings. See Network page on page 38 if you want to
customize these default settings..
To access the Network page, select Setup and Network .

Be sure to work with your network administrator while establishing the network connectivity of your domes.
To program the network settings, see Figure 21 and do the following:
1. At the DHCP Enabled feature, place a checkmark in the checkbox if you are using dynamic addressing.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the network to assign a different IP address
to the dome each time it connects to the network. This protocol also allows a mix of static and dynamic
CAUTION: To ensure the security of your surveillance system, your IP network should be isolated and secured from
unauthorized access.
