enabled by default and remains enabled until the camera receives either a DHCP address or is assigned a Static
IP address.

The camera will search for a DHCP server. If one is found it will connect to that server. f no connection is
made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address 192.168.1.168,
but continues to search for a DHCP address.
Note:
If the camera is assigned a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first reboots for
approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until a connection is made to a
DHCP server.
