Configuring the Camera’s IP Network Settings
You can configure a connected camera’s IP network settings either automatically or manually
using the IP Utility. Contact your network administrator if you experience any network-related
issues or if you have questions about your network.
To configure the camera’s network settings automatically
1. Connect to the camera (see
Connecting to a Camera
on page 29).
2. In the System tab, under IP Network Settings , confirm that the Obtain an IP address
automatically check box is selected.
3. Enter a descriptive name for the camera in the Device Name field. For example,
FrontLobbyDome01
. (By default, the device name is the device type plus the MAC
address.)
4. Click Apply to save the changes.
The network automatically assigns the IP address based on the DHCP network server
details. If no DHCP server is present on the network, the camera defaults to an APIPA
address (
169.254.x.x
).
To configure the camera’s network settings manually
1. Connect to the camera (see
Connecting to a Camera
on page 29).
2. In the System tab, under IP Network Settings , clear the Obtain an IP Address
automatically check box.
Table 3-1 IP Network Settings Options
Option Description
Device Name By default, the device name is the device type plus the MAC address. For
security purposes it is recommended that you change the device name.
MAC Address A unique address assigned to the device in the factory. Not configurable.
IP Address The IP address of the device on the network. The camera can be assigned a
static or a dynamic IP address. A static IP address is assigned by the user. A
dynamic IP address is assigned automatically by a DHCP or APIPA service.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask, or netmask, value of the device on the network. IP networks
can be subdivided into a series of smaller networks called subnets. When a
network is subnetted, the subnet mask specifies which smaller network (subnet)
the device belongs to. If the subnet mask is incorrect, the camera cannot
communicate with other devices on the network.
Default Gateway The default gateway address that connects the device to the network. The
gateway allows communication between devices on different networks. If the
gateway is incorrect, the camera cannot communicate with other devices that
are not in the same network address range.
