IMPORTANT:
•
If
Dynamic IP Address
or
PPPoE
is enabled, you need to know which IP
address the camera will get from the DHCP server or ISP to log in. If your
camera in installed in a LAN, use the GV-IP Device Utility to look up its current
dynamic address. See
2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
.
If your camera uses a public dynamic IP address, via PPPoE, use the Dynamic
DNS service to obtain a domain name linked to the camera’s changing IP
address first. For details on Dynamic DNS Server settings, see
4.7.2 Advanced
TCP/IP.
•
If
Dynamic IP Address
and
PPPoE
is enabled and you cannot access the unit,
you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the
network settings again.
To restore the factory settings, see
6.3 Restoring to Factory Default
Settings
